The Ferrari 348 TB offered here was delivered in the outstanding color combination Rosso Corsa and light brown leather with black in June 1992 by the then Ferrari dealer Broder in Triesen to the first owner in the St. Gallen area. The car was always serviced by the last owner at the relevant Ferrari specialists, regardless of the cost, and the well-known weak point of the sticky soft-touch switches and handles, for example, was also repaired. With 43,000 km, this 348 TB is in absolutely original and well-maintained collector’s condition, freshly veteran-tested. The on-board folder with all documents, neatly kept service booklet, technical manual and exhaust maintenance document as well as the leather case with on-board tools are present. As a descendant of the 328 GTB, the 348 TB was actually a completely new car that represented a reinterpretation of the 2-seater V8 mid-engined Berlinetta. The bodywork combined design details of the Testarossa – along the sides – with some of the classic models of the past (such as the front-rear set-up reminiscent of the 375 MM).

Of its era, Ferrari’s 2+2 grand tourer platform was a curious step away from its spectacular line-up of thoroughbred sports cars. Leonardo Fioravanti imagined the 365 GT 2+2 while designing cars for Pininfarina, introducing strong angular shape lines in a departure from the car’s direct predecessor, the 365 GTC/4. The new 2+2 formula allowed Ferrari to carve a niche that moved away from existing out-and-out grand tourers, such as the 365 GTB/4 Daytona Berlinetta. The 2+2 grand tourer evolved over time, rebranded as the 400 in 1976 and updated with a fuel injected engine in 1979, then badged as the 400i. The fuel injected car came in a bid to comply with global emissions standards. The same 4.8-litre Tipo F101 V-12 of the earlier 400 was instead fed through a Bosch K-Jetronic system, replacing the six-fold Weber carburettor set-up. The shift to fuel injection resulted in a sacrifice of 30 horsepower, but the thundering V-12 was still good for 310 horsepower and a top speed of 240 km/h—ideal for effortlessly delivering cross-continental journeys in seamless comfort and style as its manufacturer intended. The automatic version of the 400i was the more popular choice among customers, with 883 units made compared to the five-speed manual’s 422. The 400i offered for sale here was produced in 1983, configured in right-hand drive. The Ferrari is among the first Prancing Horse-badged cars to join The Factory Fresh Collection and has spent most of its life in storage. The odometer reads only 2,743 miles at the time of cataloguing, and the 400i retains its matching-numbers engine. Presented in a smart dark blue over cream colour scheme, the timeless styling of this attractive 400i will no doubt appeal to Ferrari fans and grand tourer enthusiasts alike. 1979 Ferrari 400i RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Americans had their Corvette, a beefy and elegant sports car as a counterpoint to the ubiquitous Ford Mustang. Apart from the Porsche 911/912, the Germans didn't really have a thing for real sports enthusiasts. Until the Opel GT turned the established middle class on its head. The strongly waisted Flounder stands like no other car for the fact that racy sports cars can be affordable. Suddenly it no longer had to be a Porsche that made the children's jaws drop on the street corner. The lightning bolt stood out like no other and was a sign of a new generation of cars. Anyone who found a Kadett too stuffy and an Ascona too embarrassing fell in love with the mercilessly desirable design of the Opel GT, even though, according to Opel, series production was not planned (it was initially said). Things turned out differently. In the fall of 1968, the Opel GT, which was advertised with the slogan “Only flying is more beautiful,” entered the automotive world. Technically, the car was based on the Kadett B, from which the 60 hp engine also came. But this weaker version only remained in the program for two years. The car with the 1900 S engine from the Opel Rekord C became a successful model. Because the four-cylinder engine with an output of 90 hp did not quite fit under the flat hood, it was given a characteristic bulge at the front right - which only made the design even more extravagant made more casual. Incidentally, Opel bought the bodies from a French manufacturer; the GT was manufactured in the Bochum plant. By the end of production in the fall of 1973, 103,373 examples had left the factory. The majority of the vehicles, namely exactly 84,000 models, were exported, primarily to the USA. There the crisp Opel made a career as a miniature Corvette. In general, with the GT, Opel demonstrated a sense for young automotive talent. The 60 hp version was initially available from 10,780 marks, the more powerful 90 hp model cost 11,880 marks. When the small GT was phased out, the GT Junior was introduced in 1971. The model was technically completely identical to the normal GT, but was offered significantly cheaper, namely from 10,500 marks. All chrome trim was eliminated and replaced with parts painted matt black. GT Junior drivers also had to do without vent windows, corduroy seat covers, some cockpit instruments and carpet mats. But that didn't dampen the enthusiasm for the car. On the contrary: the matt black accents looked good on the car. The end came suddenly in the fall of 1973. The French body manufacturer had been bought by Renault and stopped deliveries; In addition, stricter US regulations would have required a thorough renovation of the GT. Opel then had the model discontinued without replacement. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION Beautiful Opel GT in a unique color combination that makes the already desirable coupé an absolute eye-catcher. The Americans loved the Mini-Corvette, so it's no wonder that half of the production went to the USA and, depending on the state, it was able to survive to this day without major restoration work, unlike vehicles from our latitudes. This wonderful GT came from Florida some time ago and has obviously seen very little rain and certainly no snow or salt. In contrast to many vehicles from Europe, which have been restored more poorly than fairly and have a lot of poorly fitting fiberglass parts installed, this car is still made entirely of sheet metal. Logically, after over 50 years, the paint and upholstery could no longer keep up with the good body and were renewed a few years ago in high quality and show no major signs of wear either inside or outside. Before the full TÜV report was carried out, the GT received some wear-and-tear repairs in Germany, such as a new aluminum radiator, complete brakes, seals, tires, tank ventilation, etc. Plus new ATS rims with wide tires, which make the little coupé appear muscular. All chassis bushings were recently replaced with red PU bushings. This means that the car is not necessarily suitable for people with spinal disc injuries, but it sits like a proverbial board on the road. The well-known 1900 engine from many Opel models sounds and feels perfectly healthy, the transmission shifts smoothly and the entire electrical system works, right down to the well-fitting and smoothly functioning pop-up headlights. The chassis is sporty and firm and the steering is direct. Thanks to the technology adopted from large-scale production, the supply of spare parts is good.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright The Americans had their Corvette, a beefy and elegant sports car as a counterpoint to the ubiquitous Ford Mustang. Apart from the Porsche 911/912, the Germans didn't really have a thing for real sports enthusiasts. Until the Opel GT turned the established middle class on its head. The strongly waisted Flounder stands like no other car for the fact that racy sports cars can be affordable. Suddenly it no longer had to be a Porsche that made the children's jaws drop on the street corner. The lightning bolt stood out like no other and was a sign of a new generation of cars. Anyone who found a Kadett too stuffy and an Ascona too embarrassing fell in love with the mercilessly desirable design of the Opel GT, even though, according to Opel, series production was not planned (it was initially said). Things turned out differently. In the fall of 1968, the Opel GT, which was advertised with the slogan “Only flying is more beautiful,” entered the automotive world. Technically, the car was based on the Kadett B, from which the 60 hp engine also came. But this weaker version only remained in the program for two years. The car with the 1900 S engine from the Opel Rekord C became a successful model. Because the four-cylinder engine with an output of 90 hp did not quite fit under the flat hood, it was given a characteristic bulge at the front right - which only made the design even more extravagant made more casual. Incidentally, Opel bought the bodies from a French manufacturer; the GT was manufactured in the Bochum plant. By the end of production in the fall of 1973, 103,373 examples had left the factory. The majority of the vehicles, namely exactly 84,000 models, were exported, primarily to the USA. There the crisp Opel made a career as a miniature Corvette. In general, with the GT, Opel demonstrated a sense for young automotive talent. The 60 hp version was initially available from 10,780 marks, the more powerful 90 hp model cost 11,880 marks. When the small GT was phased out, the GT Junior was introduced in 1971. The model was technically completely identical to the normal GT, but was offered significantly cheaper, namely from 10,500 marks. All chrome trim was eliminated and replaced with parts painted matt black. GT Junior drivers also had to do without vent windows, corduroy seat covers, some cockpit instruments and carpet mats. But that didn't dampen the enthusiasm for the car. On the contrary: the matt black accents looked good on the car. The end came suddenly in the fall of 1973. The French body manufacturer had been bought by Renault and stopped deliveries; In addition, stricter US regulations would have required a thorough renovation of the GT. Opel then had the model discontinued without replacement. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION Beautiful Opel GT in a unique color combination that makes the already desirable coupé an absolute eye-catcher. The Americans loved the Mini-Corvette, so it's no wonder that half of the production went to the USA and, depending on the state, it was able to survive to this day without major restoration work, unlike vehicles from our latitudes. This wonderful GT came from Florida some time ago and has obviously seen very little rain and certainly no snow or salt. In contrast to many vehicles from Europe, which have been restored more poorly than fairly and have a lot of poorly fitting fiberglass parts installed, this car is still made entirely of sheet metal. Logically, after over 50 years, the paint and upholstery could no longer keep up with the good body and were renewed a few years ago in high quality and show no major signs of wear either inside or outside. Before the full TÜV report was carried out, the GT received some wear-and-tear repairs in Germany, such as a new aluminum radiator, complete brakes, seals, tires, tank ventilation, etc. Plus new ATS rims with wide tires, which make the little coupé appear muscular. All chassis bushings were recently replaced with red PU bushings. This means that the car is not necessarily suitable for people with spinal disc injuries, but it sits like a proverbial board on the road. The well-known 1900 engine from many Opel models sounds and feels perfectly healthy, the transmission shifts smoothly and the entire electrical system works, right down to the well-fitting and smoothly functioning pop-up headlights. The chassis is sporty and firm and the steering is direct. Thanks to the technology adopted from large-scale production, the supply of spare parts is good. The floor pan and chassis came from the Kadett B. The reliable 1.9 liter engine was taken from the Rekord C. Overall, a rare and at the same time very attractive GT that is difficult to find these days.

The prototype DB2 appeared as one of three Aston Martins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1949. The production model of the DB2 was first shown at the New York Auto Show in April 1950. Although demand was high, examples 2 to 4 were reserved for use in the 1950 24 Hours of Le Mans. The cars took the first two places and were entered again in 1951. The success brought fame to David Brown’s ascendant company and convinced its management to build a series of cars specifically designed for racing, starting with the DB3. Only 238 Vantage specification cars of the Aston Martin DB 2 were produced between 1950 and 1953. According to the available documentation, the car presented here was completely “frame-off” restored with great attention to detail by an Aston Martin specialist down to the last screw. In order to improve the driving characteristics, the technology was extensively optimised, taking into account the originality. A comprehensive photo documentation of the restoration process, a Heritage Certificate and the Built sheet are available. The vehicle convinces by a very high restoration standard with outstanding driving characteristics. Equipment 4-speed manual gearbox, 3 Weber twin carburettors, sports suspension, optimised rear axle with limited slip differential, aluminium brake drums, reinforced spoke wheels in 5″ x 16″ inch, and much more.

The Cultivated Collector’s 1998 Ferrari 550 Maranello, Chassis 12801, is a stunning example of the breed - finished in the beautiful color of Grigio Titano, is complemented by the interior which is wrapped in deep Blu Scuro leather. Having covered a mere 17,700 miles from new, 12801 benefits greatly from loving previous ownership, seeing consistent servicing and having just been serviced by marque specialist Jim McGee of Pocono Sports Car. This 550 Maranello is in exceptional condition throughout, a turn-key example of the ultimate modern Grand Tourer that is ready to enjoy on the open road. The early 1990’s saw Ferrari ignite a return to their roots by reintroducing and reviving the front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout that had been synonymous with the brand’s early success, yet absent from Ferrari's lineup since the 365 GTB/4 Daytona in the early 1970s. Riding on the heels of the electrifying 512M, the all new 550 Maranello would triumphantly carry the torch forward for V12 powered Ferrari cars. Exuding the brand’s deep and rich history, the 550 Maranello was proudly named after Ferrari’s home, the beautiful city of Maranello, Italy. Ferrari entrusted design to Pininfarina, with the project being led by Lorenzo Ramaciotti, the exterior featured a sleek and timeless design emphasized by clean flowing lines and muscular proportions akin to a classic GT car, while the interior exuded a stunning leather clad center console encapsulating both driver and passenger. Excellence was not skin deep, however. Nestled in the tubular steel space frame, the 550 Maranello boasted the best Ferrari had to offer in the form of the F133A, a front-mounted 5.5-liter V12 engine producing 478 horsepower and 419 lb-ft of torque, all being sent to the rear wheels through an engaging 6-speed manual transmission. The 550 Maranello boasted marvelous handling and dynamics, thanks to its balanced weight distribution and highly-tuned double wishbone suspension, providing occupants with a comfortable and luxurious interior with leather upholstery and modern amenities, placing it firmly as the class leader for long-distance driving and grand touring. During its production run from 1996 to 2001, an estimated 3,000 examples left the Maranello based manufacturing facilities. Over its 5 year lifespan, the 550 Maranello consistently received positive reviews from critics and enthusiasts, being widely regarded as a highly capable and desirable grand tourer, blending performance, style, and comfort in an exceptional Italian package. 1998 Ferrari 550 Maranello The Cultivated Collector LLC If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The S4s was the final development of the four-cylinder, 2.2-litre turbocharged Esprit and this magazine-featured, Calypso Red, low-mileage example was an original Press Car. The final development of the four-cylinder, 2.2-litre turbocharged Esprit, the S4s (the factory used a small 's') was born from Lotus customers telling the company that they wanted their Esprit to be as fast as the ultra-quick and raw Sport 300 but with the comfort and flexibility of the standard S4. 367 were built in total. This particular Lotus Esprit S4s was one of the original Press Cars and was featured in the April 1995 edition of Autocar magazine, being put through its paces by Andrew Frankel who was Road Test Editor at the time quoting that 'Britain only built one mid-engined supercar and you're looking at it', high praise indeed for a car at the time which Andrew described as one that 'deserves your respect'. Some 30 years later we suggest that remains true, with looks that still request your attention and turn heads wherever you go. Finished in Calypso Red with a Black Alcantara interior, this example was first registered to Lotus Cars Limited in March 1995 and retained by them until being transferred to its first private custodian, a Mr R McCarthy of Castle Coombe in April 1996. Remaining in outstanding condition throughout with an impressively low 25,290 miles and a large history file that outlines the intervening years, we suggest that this particular Lotus would be a welcome addition to any Lotus or sports car collection and as such we welcome and encourage your early inspection to confirm that all your requirements are fulfilled. It's also pleasing to note that the original, magazine-featured registration number, M181 BEX, remains assigned, underlining the car's history and lineage. 1995 Lotus Esprit S4s Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Aston Martin, the company now known for building some of the UK’s sleekest sports cars for consumers and spies alike, was founded in 1913 with the intention of selling Singer vehicles and repairing GWK and Calthorpe models. Founders Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford created the first car badged as an Aston Martin when they fit a four-cylinder Coventry-Simplex engine into a 1908 Isotta Fraschini. Following a brief pause caused by the First World War, the company produced a few race cars and consumer cars before facing financial trouble in 1924 and selling their assets to Dorothea Mary Roby Thorpe, wife of Godfrey Benson, 1st Baron of Charnwood. Bill Renwick and Augustus Bertelli joined Dorothea and began producing racing and passenger cars from 1926 to 1937 before the Second World War once more paused production. In 1947, English industrialist David Brown became Aston Martin’s latest owner after purchasing it for £20,500 from an ad in The Times. Thus began the production of the hailed DB series of sports cars. The DB1, based on the Atom prototype, sold only 15 units from 1948 to 1950 before being replaced by the DB2. Being a more advanced and refined unit, the DB2 sold 411 examples from 1950 to 1953 in multiple body configurations. It, too, was replaced in 1951 with the racing-only DB3 and the grand touring DB2/4 Mark I and II in 1953 and 1955, respectively. In 1957, the Aston Martin DB Mark III was introduced as a successor to the DB2/4 Mark II despite never officially being called the DB 2/4 Mark III. The car was redesigned by Polish engineer Tadek Marek and used an evolved version of the DB2/4 Mark II’s Lagonda straight-6 engine. The standard, twin SU carburetor-powered engine produced 162 hp, although an optional dual exhaust raised that number. A mid-level “DBD” trim level with triple SU 1.75″ carbs and dual exhaust produced 180 hp and was fitted to 47 cars. In contrast, a high-output “DBB” trim featured triple twin-choke Weber 35 DCO 3 carbs, special long-duration camshafts, high compression 8.6:1 pistons, and the dual-exhaust system was rated at 195 hp but was ordered on only 10 cars. All engines were backed by a four-speed manual or an optional automatic transmission. The DB 2/4 Mark III came standard with Girling disc brakes after the first 100 examples. This was also the first model to come equipped with the Bert Thickpenny-designed front grille, which would become a staple of all future Aston Martins. The car could be had as either a drophead or fixed-head coupé or a hatchback. Only 551 examples of the Mark III were produced in the two-year production run, with only 83 of them being in left-hand drive configuration. Thanks to their low production numbers and timeless good looks, the DB 2/4 Mark III has seen strong collectability over the years. They remain an important and storied portion of Aston Martin’s history, and their importance is backed by the strong pricing we still see them bring in what seems to be an increasingly modern collectible market landscape. As with any early British sports car, restoration on these can become a pocket-draining expense very quickly, so finding one that has already been properly restored, with correct and careful ownership to ensure long-term useability, is paramount. This particular example is 1-of-83 LHD units to leave the factory. Chassis # AM/300/3/1672, was built in September of 1958 and dispatched to Charles H. Hornburg Jnr Inc. of Los Angeles, CA in January of 1959 as per the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust records. The car wore a Satin Bronze exterior with an Off-White interior, Firestone Super Sports whitewall tires, and the optional fully chromed wheels. It was delivered to its first owner, Mr. Saul Pollack of Los Angeles, CA, in April 1959. Mr. Pollack was the owner of the Waverly Mansion, president of Karl’s Shoe Stores, and brother-in-law to Mr. Harry Karl, Debbie Reynolds’s second husband and adoptive father of Todd and Carrie Fisher. Mr. Pollack married Mr. Karl’s sister, Sarah. The Aston Martin made its way back to the UK to its second owner in October of 1991. The car was registered in Lancaster, Lancashire, with the license plate VSK 659. In March of 1992, it was sold to its third owner from Hayward Heath, also in the UK, and once again to its fourth owner in April of 1993. In 2002, the car traveled overseas once more to its fifth owner, Baron Paul van der Straten Waillet, in Belgium, where it adopted the license plate VDY 993. The service records on file start around 2006 under Mr. Van der Straten Waillet’s ownership, showcasing the care and attention he put into keeping this British wonder on the road. A major service in September of 2007 at Twin Cam (now Marreyt Classic Cars) in Aalst gave this Aston a new 8.6:1 83mm piston set, cylinder liners, head gasket, water pump, radiator, and other new parts. A return visit in April of 2011 resulted in a new power steering rack. Later, in September 2013, the headlights, mirrors, as well as both horns were replaced with units from RetroClassic Car Parts Ltd. In October 2013, the Aston was sold to its sixth and most current owner. Under their ownership, the extensive catalog of service records continued to expand exponentially. In November of that same year, a new horn button assembly and bonnet lamp mount were purchased from Kevin Kay Aston Parts in Redding, CA. In December, the original Aston Martin “Instruction Book” was masterfully restored by Ann-Marie Miller ACR in London for a total cost of £615.50 in an effort to preserve it for decades to come. In August 2014, the car was stripped and repainted in Fern Green by Frankie’s Auto Paintwork, a color it still wears today. NOS Lucas Le Mans headlights were bought in January 2016 from Rogers Motors in Shutesbury, MA. The headliner and trunk panels were replaced with new, factory-type material in September 2016 by Harry Fraser Vehicle in Bicester, UK. From May to June of 2017, the windshield wiper assembly was restored by Leydon Restorations LLC in Lahaska, PA, with special attention given to repairing the wiper park mechanism. Lastly, in March of 2021, the clutch was replaced by Automotive Restorations, Inc. in Stratford, CT. Being a fairly early Aston Martin makes this DB 2/4 Mark III a rare example of the company’s beginnings. It represents a turning point in the British marque’s story from a largely boutique maker to a more household name in sports and racing cars. Described as “one of the world’s outstanding sports models” by The Autocar magazine, this model was also the first James Bond Aston Martin, being featured in the 1959 “Goldfinger” novel as the “DB III.” This particular example is, without a doubt, one of the nicest to hit the market. Benefitting from decades of meticulous care dating back to its original owner, this Aston Martin DB 2/4 Mark III is as beautiful as it is rare, with only 83 examples being originally produced in LHD configuration. Its previous prestigious owners, along with the countries it has traveled to, give this car a unique pedigree that sets it apart from others in the crowd and would instantly complement any existing car collection. Upon purchase, the new owner will receive the original factory manuals, the original factory build sheet, an original dealer brochure, the BMIHT Certificate, the car’s FIVA Identity Card, a period article about the model, two Concours awards, as well as the service and ownership records on file. EXTERIOR Body And Paint Quite fitting in this shade of green, this DB2/5 MKIII shows well overall. It has consistent panel gaps, is straight down the sides, and the paint has a deep luster. The body has clearly been prepped well in terms of how straight the panels are, with no major issues standing out. However, we can classify the presentation of the paint today as good driver quality as it is revealing its age in a few spots. While it would not prevent the car from proudly being shown or driven regularly, there are some inconsistencies as listed below and photoed. Glass And Trim All of the glass appears to be the correct factory TriPlex glass, with the exception of the passenger vent window which has no markings. The condition of the glass is acceptable, considering the overall age. The windscreen has some light peppering, and the side glass shows a light scratch here or there, with the hatch glass showing two minor pencil-point-sized chips. The trim is all present and appears to have been well looked after, with all emblems and badges present, including some period additions. The door handles and window chrome are the only areas where there are some obvious signs of age, as photographed. Overall not worth addressing for those intending to drive rather than show. Wheels The wire wheels are consistent with the idea of a driver-quality car. They are showing some age in the way of chrome fade and scratching and other such flaws as photographed. Again, good for driving, but they should see attention if the intention is to competitively show this Aston Martin. Notable Flaws The base of the driver's side A-Pillar shows some texture inconsistency in the paint and a crack in the paint. On the bonnet near the same spot is a small area of paint lifting and a small area of solvent popping. The base of the passenger A-Pillar also shows a small bubble and a crack. The passenger door top shows a bubble and a crack as well. Further inspection will show a handful of small pencil point sized knicks in the paint throughout, commensurate with the use this car did see during its last ownership. The fog lights also have some chrome that is showing their age. Please review the photos in detail to see these flaws and any other flaws that may have been captured. INTERIOR Seats And Surfaces The interior is perfectly contrasted with the exterior color with a rich natural leather presentation. The Green piping and aging that is present give it an inviting and genuine feel. The interior is, overall, excellent and was clearly restored all at the same time many years ago to a high standard. There was careful attention paid to elements of correctness, and the quality of craftsmanship is apparent. The door jams are nicely and correctly tended to with newer chrome and rubber as is correct. The dash is the proper finish, as are the fascia, kick panels, mats, and tunnels. All are in excellent condition, with perhaps some patina. The headliner and visors are all nicely refinished, and overall, the interior is impressive right down to the correct original mat in the trunk. There are some areas to mention that could see attention, though not totally necessary. The gauge bezels for the RPM and MPH gauges do have chrome that is failing, and there is some paint worn off on the steering column adjuster as well as some touch-up on the dash where it meets the steering column. Otherwise, this is a well-appointed and well-cared-for interior that has seen a proper refurbishment some years ago. Functionality And Accessories Our testing of the various knobs, pulls, and switches in the car revealed that it is indeed in correct working order throughout. Lighting, windshield wipers, heater motor, etc… all appeared to be in correct working order with no issues to note. ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK Engine Bay The engine bay of this car shows that it has received proper care from knowledgeable custodians and technicians. There was particular attention paid to correctness in the engine bay. Between the various coatings, clamps, correct style wires, stickers, and a general not-to-polished presentation that alludes to how it may have left the factory. A few incorrect items that are minor stand out, such as the new fuel line which we had replaced for safety. One extra spark plug is a little rusty, and the battery is not a correct replica. An extra correct style battery is included along with the original fuel line. Trunk Area The trunk area is tidy; removing the protective mat reveals the original-style mat, albeit cracked from age and under that clean and shiny green paint. Digging deeper, we can access the spare wheel handle, which has been correctly restored to exactly as it left the factory, utilizing a period-correct military-grade fabric with a wooden handle to allow the spare to drop. Underside The underside is very much representative of the excellent driver-quality example that this car is. It is solid, complete, and showing to be well serviced, but perhaps a little oily, greasy, and dirty here or there, as to be expected with a turn-key and reliable British Car. Please refer to the photos to have a closer look. Notable Flaws The engine bay light on the underside of the bonnet, while correct and present, does not currently light up. MECHANICALS Engine The engine starts easily, runs strong, makes strong oil pressure, and remains cool. It is a well-sorted example. Transmission The 4-speed transmission works as well as a 1958-designed transmission can, with no issues to note. It should be noted that the clutch in this car is brand new. Brakes And Suspension The steering and suspension feel responsive and as stiff as they were originally intended by Aston Martin in 1958. Overall, it feels well-serviced and in order. The brakes work well, with no pulling and a strong pedal. As always, it is our recommendation that this car be inspected by a mechanic by the new owner before rigorous use to ensure all systems are in order, as this car has not seen the regular use it was used to in the past two years. Tires The tires are the period-correct style Firestone Deluxe Champion 6.00-16 92P’s on all four corners with date codes of 2014. Technically, they should see replacement, but there are no signs of cracking, and they are still supple to the touch. 1958 Aston Martin DB 2/4 MKIII LBI Limited If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

To ensure that the FIA motorsport governing body would homologate its new 3-litre RSR race car for the 1974 season, Porsche developed the road-going 911 Carrera RS 3.0. Shortly after completing some 1,580 examples of the fabled RS 2.7, the Stuttgart factory produced just 55 units of its brawnier successor. Not only were they far scarcer, and over twice the price, but the model was a true homologation special brimmed with technology developed directly for the track. The engine was a detuned RSR motor featuring a Silumin crankcase, single-plug ignition, and a road-legal exhaust system. Meanwhile, the four-piston callipers and drilled discs were lifted directly from the all-conquering, 24 Hours of Le Mans-winning 917 sportscar. The prominent new front air dam helped keep brake temperatures under control while also feeding the oil cooler for the flat-six, which was rated at 230 horsepower. Helping achieve a remarkable weight of only 900 kilograms, the Carrera RS 3.0 was fitted with lightened glass, had all sound deadening removed, and used composite bonnet and engine cover panels. Given the clear link to Porsche’s thoroughbred racers, the example offered here appropriately boasts competition pedigree. Finished in Grand Prix White, this Carrera RS 3.0 was sold new in Stuttgart on 10 January 1974 and supplied to Mr Byker of Düsseldorf. The following year, it was acquired by keen Italian clubman racer Antonino Guagliardo. In July 1975, having found a faster replacement for his Lancia Fulvia and 911 S, Mr Guagliardo fielded the car in the Targa Florio. Entered by Cefalù Corse with second driver Libero Marchiolo, it was resplendent in its Grand Prix White but featured red bumpers. Unfortunately, the Porsche failed to finish. While Mr Guagliardo eventually switched to forced induction in the form of a Porsche 930, he retained the Carrera RS 3.0 for three decades. The car was then sold to France before, in 2014, it was acquired by a Belgian Porsche dealer. It joined The Stuttgart Legends Collection in January 2015. Presented in its factory colour and wearing dished wheels, a Carrera stripe, and Porsche script all finished in gold, this Carrera RS 3.0 benefits from a February 2025 inspection by marque expert Andy Prill (available to view on file). He noted the original chassis stamping and production number, plus several other authentic 3.0 RS features such as the chassis reinforcements and double-skin rear crossmember. While the current engine has been built around a magnesium crankcase, this car is supplied with its matching-numbers original Silumin crankcase. Please note that this Porsche will require mechanical recommissioning prior to driving following a period of static display. Among the most scarce and sought-after of all road-going 911s, this Carrera RS 3.0 boasts period competition history in the Targa Florio and known ownership from new. The opportunity to acquire such a revered homologation special is not to be missed. 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera RS RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

David Brown resigned himself to the chronic defeats of his cars in races against an overwhelming Italian competition. As a result, the production has, since the DB5, been clearly oriented towards Grand Tourism. The secret agent 007 takes care of the promotion of the car by moving it from casino to casino, while the circuits are empty of their Aston Martins. Here is a nice surprise during the 1965 London Motor Show with the presentation of the new Aston-Martin DB6. Hard to succeed the mythical DB5? Finally, after having rejected proposals from the Touring coachbuilder, David Brown wanted the internal team to take charge of developing the design that has made the firm successful since the DB4. And since we're dealing with a new model, it's an opportunity to correct certain criticisms and widen the circle of fans and clients. The in-house designers had to come up with a solution to provide not only more aerodynamic support at high speed, but also more room to give in to the temptation of the 2+2 concept. The wheelbase is thus lengthened by 9.5 cm for better stability. As for the rest, the front end has a strong family resemblance with the wide front grille, the covered headlights and the air intake on the hood to bring fresh air to the engine. The stern is new with a coupe-like concept and a spoiler. From the side, the new proportions seem more obvious, even if Newport Pagnell remains faithful to the stylistic tics of the previous generations: chrome is very present, air intakes in the front fenders like gills and wheels with spokes and Rudge hubs. The Aston-Martin DB6 Vantage is no different from its more "modest" siblings, since it's under the hood that everything happens... When an Aston-Martin is named "Vantage", the informed enthusiast knows that the engine is the most powerful in the range. The Aston-Martin DB6 Vantage is no exception... The Aston inline six is a prime piece of equipment, always placed in the front longitudinal position. The work of Polish-born engineer Tadek Marek, it boasts a displacement of 3,995 cm3 and a high level of technical refinement that its transalpine rivals can envy. Made entirely of light alloy, this engine has super-square dimensions with a bore of 96 mm and a stroke of 92 mm. Its chrome molybdenum steel crankshaft rotates on seven bearings and benefits in this Vantage variant from static and dynamic balancing as well as the rest of the mobile equipment. The top engine is topped by a double overhead camshaft cylinder head and two valves per cylinder inclined at 80°. The whole unit is driven by a double chain. To increase the engine's power from 282 hp to 325 hp at 5,750 rpm, Tadek Marek used three Weber 45 DCO double-barrel horizontal carburetors (instead of the SU carburetors of the standard version). Torque also increases to 393 Nm at 4,500 rpm. The transmission is provided by a ZF manual gearbox with 5 gears, all synchronized, completed by a self-locking differential on the rear axle to guarantee maximum traction and mobility at the stern. Note that the fourth gear is direct drive, while the fifth gear is overdrive. If the Touring Superleggera technique has been taken over, it is however reviewed and adapted by Aston-Martin, the DB6 thus marking its difference with the DB4 and DB5. It is now on a platform chassis that is fixed the body panels all in aluminum around a structure of small tubes. The front axle is composed of independent wheels with superposed triangles and anti-roll bar. The rear is more conservative with a rigid axle guided by struts and laterally by Watt's parallelograms. Among the new features, we will appreciate the rear shock absorbers that allow four different settings to favor either road holding or occupant comfort. A coherent technical choice that clearly indicates Aston-Martin's Grand Touring strategy rather than pure sport, even for this Vantage variant. The rack-and-pinion steering is unassisted, which is noticeable when maneuvering at low speeds. Braking is done by four full Girling discs assisted by two brake servos. The spoke wheels with Rudge hubs are shod with 6.75×15 tires (Avon brand ex-factory). Despite the Superleggera technology, the Aston-Martin DB6 Vantage weighs a substantial 1.6 tons. On the road, the Aston-Martin DB6 Vantage confirms its ease of handling on long curves and its reassuring stability at high speeds. But as soon as the road gets tighter, and the curves sharper, the Aston-Martin DB6 Vantage has to confine itself to a role in which it excels: the luxury Grand Touring. In fact, once the door is opened, we find with happiness the luxurious and tasteful presentation of Newport Pagnell. Black dashboard, battery of Smiths counters, complete and luxurious standard equipment, without being innovative, and especially the rear seats which are unprecedented at Aston-Martin and which allow to take children on a trip, especially since the trunk is also more consequent. For adults, the reduced headroom of the rear seats is very acceptable, as we still remember this Paris - Goodwood a few years ago. Aston-Martin gives its DB6 more tone in the form of this Vantage. It does not deviate from the traditions of discretion and elegance, and it is impossible to distinguish an Aston-Martin DB6 Vantage from a standard version on the outside. At the wheel, on the other hand, the revival of the inline 6 is very clear with a racier character, despite a discreet sound. The rear seats are well digested aesthetically with a line, admittedly thicker and less racy, but still as attractive and which does not neglect the practical aspects. The Aston-Martin DB6 Vantage can count on an unexpected but welcome versatility in a market segment that often favors hedonistic pleasure. The Grand Touring spirit is now a family affair. This is good news for fathers. The DB6 is much more than a simple evolution of the DB5. It remains the last link in a long lineage that started in 1958... 1968 Aston Martin DB6 Vantage Historic Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
