- 1953 Fiat 8V Supersonic by Ghia 2
A DETROIT DESIGNER’S DREAM To bring us the cars of our dreams, automotive designers cast their gaze into the future, seeking to predict the next big styling trend—or to invent it. It is always interesting, then, to learn what machines these designers choose as their personal vehicles. Henry de Ségur Lauve, born in New Jersey in 1910, spent his formative years in Europe; by the 1930s, he was working in France as a designer and illustrator for the fashion industry. His career trajectory shifted when, in the late 1930s, he was hired by General Motors, reportedly after interviewing with eventual GM head of design Bill Mitchell. Of course, this meant that Lauve would work under design titan Harley Earl in the pivotal years following World War II—an era in which the American automotive industry was at the height of its power and prestige, when style was evolving at a breakneck pace. By the mid-1950s, Lauve was chief designer of GM’s Interior Design Studio. So what did Lauve park in the garage of his Art Deco home in fashionable Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan? The answer was no less than the Fiat 8V Supersonic offered here, one of just 15 to wear this stunning Jet Age bodywork by Giovanni Savonuzzi. Even without a body, the Fiat 8V was a mechanical masterpiece. Dubbed the “biggest surprise of the year” by Road & Track upon its introduction in 1952, the 8V was a shock coming from a company better-known, at least in the post-war era, for its affordable people’s cars. Featuring an advanced overhead-valve light alloy V-8 engine, Siata-fabricated chassis, and four-wheel independent suspension, Fiat always intended the 8V to be a “halo” offering aimed at privateer racers; 8Vs typically wore relatively simple bodywork that fit right in on a racing circuit. Ghia, however, had other visions for this sophisticated chassis, and it is easy to see why Lauve was smitten with Savonuzzi’s glamorous Supersonic: It captured the sky’s-the-limit energy and optimism of the GM concepts with which Lauve worked in his day job, yet it had an exotic flair that no doubt appealed to his Continental sensibilities. After witnessing the debut of Supersonic at the 1953 Paris Auto Show, Lauve quickly determined that he needed one of his own. Correspondence on with Ghia notes that, by November of that year, this very car—wearing a white exterior with a blue interior—was en route to America aboard the SS Constitution. A follow-up letter from Ghia confirmed Lauve’s receipt of the car and designated Paul Farago as Lauve’s point of contact for any future mechanical necessities. Farago was a Detroit-area designer, a mechanic and engineer, a gentleman racer, and also acted as a key go-between for Chrysler and Carrozzeria Ghia during Chrysler’s important Virgil Exner years. He recognized the significance of the Fiat 8V Supersonic and imported an example of his own. A TRANSATLANTIC TRANSPLANT Farago’s assistance would become invaluable in 1954 when, after 9,000 kilometers of driving, Lauve’s 8V developed seemingly insurmountable engine issues. Fascinating correspondence between Lauve and Enrico Minola, a key engineer at Fiat, reveals that the automaker only intended its high-strung, high-maintenance 8V to be used by amateur racing drivers. That Ghia decided to fit a luxurious coupe body to the chassis, and that Lauve had pressed his Supersonic into daily driving duties, was apparently contrary to purpose! Fiat nevertheless agreed to supply a new engine, number 000188, and its ancillary components, on the condition that Mr. Lauve return the original engine, number 000039. Interestingly, that engine was never returned to Fiat and was subsequently fitted to another 8V Supersonic. Although this new engine was dispatched fairly quickly, installation did not go smoothly. A letter on file from September 1956 indicates that the Fiat was still in the shop due in part to a poorly fitting exhaust system. Here, Harley Earl came to the rescue, and helped Lauve source and install (using Chevrolet personnel) a 283-cubic-inch Chevrolet V-8 engine. In a letter dated 17 January 1957, penned while this work was in progress, Earl wrote that “It is a cute little automobile and I would like it to be finished so that you can get a kick out of it.” Later, Earl took a not-so-subtle shot at Fiat’s engineering, writing that “Inasmuch as you have the Corvette engine I do not think you will have the headaches that might go along with the foreign type.” This period, in which Lauve’s little Italian Supersonic sported an American heart, was later recalled by GM designer Robert Cumberford, who enjoyed many memorable high-speed rides in it through the Detroit suburbs. THE LAUVE SUPERSONIC’S NEXT CHAPTERS Engine troubles could not shake Lauve’s love for his Supersonic, and he and his family maintained it faithfully longer than almost any other original 8V owner. During their tenure it was refinished in silver, as featured in Tony Adriaensens’s book Otto Vu. It was finally sold by the Lauves in 1991 and was later owned in 1994 by Erik Nielsen of California. The car was subsequently restored in this rich garnet-over-tan combination, with a correct 8V engine, no. 000060, tucked under the hood. The work was beautifully detailed, with the color showing off the elaborate curves of the body and fabulous touches such as smoked glass sun visors and Borrani chrome wire wheels. Following this restoration, it was displayed at the 2005 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. A decade later, it was exhibited at the 2015 Kuwait Concours d’Elegance. After long-term ownership in a prominent Swiss collection, the Supersonic entered a large private collection in America, where it was displayed alongside two other superlative 8Vs; it was acquired by present ownership in 2020. In 2023, it won the Design Award at the Audrain Newport Concours, having been judged by Chip Foose and designers Mike Simcoe (Cadillac) and Ralph Gillies (Fiat Chrysler/Stellantis). It would certainly be suitable for either enjoying on vintage rallies, such as the California Mille, Colorado Grand, or even the Mille Miglia, but could also be lightly freshened for happy exhibition at further shows and concours. The Fiat 8V was always an exclusive automobile, and by design, they were typically purchased new by interesting individuals who led exciting lives. This is particularly true of the exclusive Ghia-bodied Supersonics. But there is something very special about this 8V Supersonic. Acquired new by a respected GM designer from the Detroit auto industry’s most dynamic era—and backed by a trove of documentation, including correspondence with the legendary Harley Earl—the Henry S. Lauve Supersonic was, is, and will continue to be a design masterwork, worthy of admiration by its fortunate next caretaker. 1953 Fiat 8V Supersonic by Ghia RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1951 Ferrari 212 Inter Coupe by Vignale
A Ferrari by Vignale is always a special creation, and this is seldom more true than for the 212 Inter offered here, chassis number 0135/E. The design for the car, with the use of its subtle body curves to delineate two-toning, a glassy and very open roofline with narrow pillars, a shapely rounded tail, and the broad oval grille, is utterly classic and iconic Vignale, instantly recognizable to any student of Italian coachbuilding. Chromed slots in the front fenders and the taillights recessed into the rear fenders were and remain readily identifiable touches of 0135/E, which was finished in an eye-catching color scheme of black and dark red. Completed by the factory at the end of June in 1951, 0135/E was shown that October at the Paris Motor Show, then sold to Milanese racing driver Franco Cornacchia’s dealership, WI.PU.CO. Cornacchia dealt the car to a fellow Milan resident, Paolo Lampugnani. Soon thereafter, the 212 Inter enjoyed its second prominent turn on the worldwide stage with an appearance as the cover car of the February 1952 issue of Road & Track. While the car was photographed with a fake Italian registration plate, TO 18511-I, the shot had been made while the car was in Paris. At some point in the 1950s the car was exported to a sports car-hungry California, and eventually was offered for sale by BMC Motors of Belmont. As Don Wassermann of San Francisco wrote in issue 38 of the Ferrari Club of America’s Prancing Horse in 1974, he saw the car on the lot in 1962, and that “since imported [it] has been locally owned. Took it for a test drive and got a ticket for speeding. Decided not to buy it maybe because of speeding ticket…” It was instead purchased by another gentleman, his identity now forgotten, who drove it with his girlfriend to Kansas. When it broke down there, he attempted to tow it home to California, but it broke loose from the tow vehicle and nosed into a ditch, fortunately only damaging the tips of the front fenders. Nonetheless the car eventually got home to the Golden State and was put into storage. Wassermann finally bought the car out of storage in 1967, and began meticulously restoring it, optimistically saying in his article that he hoped “to have body and chassis reunited…upholstery and wiring [completed]…by the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in September 1974.” Unfortunately, that proved a touch optimistic; the restoration extended for nearly 30 years, as life intervened. A well-known specialist in vintage Ferraris acquired 0135/E in the late 1990s, and in 1999 sold the car to the noted tifoso Charles A. “Skeets” Dunn. Following completion of the restoration by John Amette, Mr. Dunn exhibited the car on the West Coast, prominently winning an award in its class at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 2003, and the following year returning it to Monterey to receive its Platinum Award at the Ferrari Club of America International Meeting and Concours. Among other achievements, it went on to achieve top honors in the Great Ferrari class at The Quail in 2009. In 2014 this special 212 Inter was acquired for the present owner’s distinguished collection, in which it has now remained for nearly a decade, its restoration well-maintained and still in outstanding condition. Ferrari Classiche noted that the car retains its original chassis, engine, and gearbox, though the differential is a replacement unit. The car retains its wonderful original details, captured in its Dunn restoration, including the large Carello 424 headlights and Scintilla marker lights; the dashboard arranged around a large Jaeger Chronoflite; and the steering wheel with its Vignale filigreed spokes and early-style “prancing horse” on the horn button, mounted on a chromed column—a bit of flash for the Paris showgoers, all of which were carefully researched and recreated. Restoration photographs and a brief discussion of authenticity points accompany the car, as does, of course, the Red Book from its Ferrari Classiche Certification and copies of the factory build sheets. A superb example of the Ferrari by Vignale, this 212 Inter boasts wonderful show and magazine feature history, as well as a fine restoration, rich provenance, and Classiche Certification to recommend it to a new caretaker. 1951 Ferrari 212 Inter Coupe by Vignale RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1979 Porsche 928
If someone described a car as a rear-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car manufactured in Germany, the obvious conclusion would always be Porsche. Then, in 1977 the unthinkable happened in Stuttgart. The engine was moved to the front, two more cylinders were added, arranged in a V-formation, and for the first time since 1948 the little car company from Gmund, Austria had a true GT car for the masses: the 928. This new step forward for Porsche did not come without hurdles, but it easily solidified their ability to meet market demands and produce anything they set their minds to. The technical specifications of the 928 are interesting. As the goal was to create a Luxury GT car to (at the time) hypothetically replace the famed 911, the car needed solid attributes of previously successful V8-powered cars as well as successful GT cars. All this, while still trying to meet new US safety and Emissions regulations. As a result, the 928 had similarities to that of the Chrysler 426 Hemi with 122MM Bore spacing, and early prototypes even had a 4-barrel carburetor for testing. When it debuted at the 1977 Geneva Motor Show, it was well received due to its comfort and power as a GT car. However, it struggled to sell against the 911 and never really took off as Porsche anticipated. 18 years later, however, the 928 was still in production and saw quite a few variations, such as the S, S4, GT, and GTS models amongst others. Today the 928 has become somewhat of an icon for an era and has remained as a car with a cult-like following that still is embellished by enthusiasts around the globe. The Porsche 928 on offer here, chassis #9289201411, is a 1979 model year, built just two years into the overall Porsche 928 production cycle. It is beautifully finished in Schwarz Metallic with complimenting ‘phone dial’ wheels as well as a Pasha interior, one of the best interiors Porsche ever offered, in our humble opinion! It has been very well maintained over the years and show just 32,548 original miles. Its first owner accumulated around 19,000 miles in the 23 years of ownership before changing hands with its second owner who resided in Michigan in the year 2002. During their ownership, the car only gained another 10,000 miles over 18 years before it was realized that the car was going to sit more and more as values climbed, so the decision was made to sell it. The second owner ended up selling the 928 to Casey Putsch of Perrysburg, Ohio, in December of 2019. Casey has a large YouTube automotive channel as well as being the founder of www.geniusgarageracing.com, which specializes in automotive-focused educational programming. For the next year, he used this 928 as part of his educational content and began a light refurbishment, which included: Upholstered cloth interior with Pasha New black upholstery on the fronts of the front seats and the backs of the rear seats Leather wrap on the original steering wheel New dash switches, knobs, etc Plastic dash cover Tune CIS fuel injection After Casey’s ownership, the car made its way to Reno, Nevada, where it spent a little under 2 years, and was driven sparingly while receiving work to make it even nicer. Today this example remains in very nice overall condition, and the interior looks great thanks to the freshened/upgraded Pasha interior. The front and rear seats have been reupholstered in factory Pasha that was ordered from Germany with no signs of wear. The door panel inserts have also been upgraded to Pasha. The carpet is original, as are the floor mats and the Blaupunkt cassette radio. The underside and engine bay are very clean and also indicative of a low-mile example. The car is very dry and obviously not driven in harsh conditions. There are no signs of any prior damage or rust repairs. An extensive mechanical service was carried out within the last 3 years, as well as a full refurbishment of the air conditioning, brake, fuel, intake, vacuum systems, and much more costing well over $25,000. From our time spent enjoying this grand tourer, we admired how compliant and effortlessly fast this 928 is. EXTERIOR Body And Paint The paint is not original but is in good condition. The Schwarz Metallic paint has deep and consistent shine throughout with a wonderful shimmer in direct sunlight. The gaps and body panel lines are all straight and tight. Glass And Trim The glass throughout the car appears to be all original, with the correct SEKURIT stampings on the side windows as well as the SIGLA branding on the front windscreen. The rubber trim surrounding the windows is in acceptable condition given the car's age but could be replaced to match the redone interior. Wheels The factory ‘Phone dial’ wheels are in decent shape, showing some very minor rock chips on the rear passenger and front driver wheels. All four center caps could be replaced as the paint is chipping and faded. Notable Flaws The trim around the door windows and hatch windows need a little bit of attention. The wheels have a few very minor chips in them from use INTERIOR Seats And Surfaces The Pasha seats while original in specification have been redone at some point as well as the inserts in the door card and present in really nice condition. The dashboard cover seems to have been replaced at some point as well, leaving a small gap above the air registers. Functionality And Accessories All functions such as the A/C, radio, lights, etc are all in working order. ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK Engine Bay The engine bay remains in excellent and well-preserved condition. All the plastics are still deep and dark with correct stickers, hoses, and clamps throughout. Each body panel sticker is present as well. Trunk Area The trunk area retains the correct and original carpets and is clean and tidy. Underside A recent detail to the undercarriage reveals a well kept space with no rust or other issues to note. MECHANICALS Engine This early 928 remains in very good mechanical order. It fires to life quickly and idles smoothly. Out on the road, it makes good consistent power and climbs easily through the rev range with no stumbles or flat spots in acceleration. Transmission The transmission shifts easily through the long gears. The recently installed clutch holds power nicely, and the pedal provides proper take-up and feedback. Brakes And Suspension The brakes feel smooth and balanced, bringing the car to a controlled and issue free stop. The suspension is smooth, comfortable, and compliant. The car handles beautifully and presents no odd road behavior or noises. Tires The DOT date codes appear to show 2017, but the tires remain in excellent condition with solid side walls and plenty of tread. 1979 Porsche 928 LBI Limited If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright If someone described a car as a rear-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car manufactured in Germany, the obvious conclusion would always be Porsche. Then, in 1977 the unthinkable happened in Stuttgart. The engine was moved to the front, two more cylinders were added, arranged in a V-formation, and for the first time since 1948 the little car company from Gmund, Austria had a true GT car for the masses: the 928. This new step forward for Porsche did not come without hurdles, but it easily solidified their ability to meet market demands and produce anything they set their minds to. The technical specifications of the 928 are interesting. As the goal was to create a Luxury GT car to (at the time) hypothetically replace the famed 911, the car needed solid attributes of previously successful V8-powered cars as well as successful GT cars. All this, while still trying to meet new US safety and Emissions regulations. As a result, the 928 had similarities to that of the Chrysler 426 Hemi with 122MM Bore spacing, and early prototypes even had a 4-barrel carburetor for testing. When it debuted at the 1977 Geneva Motor Show, it was well received due to its comfort and power as a GT car. However, it struggled to sell against the 911 and never really took off as Porsche anticipated. 18 years later, however, the 928 was still in production and saw quite a few variations, such as the S, S4, GT, and GTS models amongst others. Today the 928 has become somewhat of an icon for an era and has remained as a car with a cult-like following that still is embellished by enthusiasts around the globe. The Porsche 928 on offer here, chassis #9289201411, is a 1979 model year, built just two years into the overall Porsche 928 production cycle. It is beautifully finished in Schwarz Metallic with complimenting ‘phone dial’ wheels as well as a Pasha interior, one of the best interiors Porsche ever offered, in our humble opinion! It has been very well maintained over the years and show just 32,548 original miles. Its first owner accumulated around 19,000 miles in the 23 years of ownership before changing hands with its second owner who resided in Michigan in the year 2002. During their ownership, the car only gained another 10,000 miles over 18 years before it was realized that the car was going to sit more and more as values climbed, so the decision was made to sell it. The second owner ended up selling the 928 to Casey Putsch of Perrysburg, Ohio, in December of 2019. Casey has a large YouTube automotive channel as well as being the founder of www.geniusgarageracing.com, which specializes in automotive-focused educational programming. For the next year, he used this 928 as part of his educational content and began a light refurbishment, which included: Upholstered cloth interior with Pasha New black upholstery on the fronts of the front seats and the backs of the rear seats Leather wrap on the original steering wheel New dash switches, knobs, etc Plastic dash cover Tune CIS fuel injection After Casey’s ownership, the car made its way to Reno, Nevada, where it spent a little under 2 years, and was driven sparingly while receiving work to make it even nicer. Today this example remains in very nice overall condition, and the interior looks great thanks to the freshened/upgraded Pasha interior. The front and rear seats have been reupholstered in factory Pasha that was ordered from Germany with no signs of wear. The door panel inserts have also been upgraded to Pasha. The carpet is original, as are the floor mats and the Blaupunkt cassette radio. The underside and engine bay are very clean and also indicative of a low-mile example. The car is very dry and obviously not driven in harsh conditions. There are no signs of any prior damage or rust repairs. An extensive mechanical service was carried out within the last 3 years, as well as a full refurbishment of the air conditioning, brake, fuel, intake, vacuum systems, and much more costing well over $25,000. From our time spent enjoying this grand tourer, we admired how compliant and effortlessly fast this 928 is. EXTERIOR Body And Paint The paint is not original but is in good condition. The Schwarz Metallic paint has deep and consistent shine throughout with a wonderful shimmer in direct sunlight. The gaps and body panel lines are all straight and tight. Glass And Trim The glass throughout the car appears to be all original, with the correct SEKURIT stampings on the side windows as well as the SIGLA branding on the front windscreen. The rubber trim surrounding the windows is in acceptable condition given the car's age but could be replaced to match the redone interior. Wheels The factory ‘Phone dial’ wheels are in decent shape, showing some very minor rock chips on the rear passenger and front driver wheels. All four center caps could be replaced as the paint is chipping and faded. Notable Flaws The trim around the door windows and hatch windows need a little bit of attention. The wheels have a few very minor chips in them from use INTERIOR Seats And Surfaces The Pasha seats while original in specification have been redone at some point as well as the inserts in the door card and present in really nice condition. The dashboard cover seems to have been replaced at some point as well, leaving a small gap above the air registers. Functionality And Accessories All functions such as the A/C, radio, lights, etc are all in working order. ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK Engine Bay The engine bay remains in excellent and well-preserved condition. All the plastics are still deep and dark with correct stickers, hoses, and clamps throughout. Each body panel sticker is present as well. Trunk Area The trunk area retains the correct and original carpets and is clean and tidy. Underside A recent detail to the undercarriage reveals a well kept space with no rust or other issues to note. MECHANICALS Engine This early 928 remains in very good mechanical order. It fires to life quickly and idles smoothly. Out on the road, it makes good consistent power and climbs easily through the rev range with no stumbles or flat spots in acceleration. Transmission The transmission shifts easily through the long gears. The recently installed clutch holds power nicely, and the pedal provides proper take-up and feedback. Brakes And Suspension The brakes feel smooth and balanced, bringing the car to a controlled and issue free stop. The suspension is smooth, comfortable, and compliant. The car handles beautifully and presents no odd road behavior or noises. Tires The DOT date codes appear to show 2017, but the tires remain in excellent condition with solid side walls and plenty of tread.

- 1957 Porsche 356 A Carrera GT Speedster by Reutter
As a proud tribute to the marque’s 1-2 class finish in the 1954 edition of the gruelling Carrera Panamericana endurance road race, Porsche christened its Type 547/1 motor “Carrera”. Built around the block found in the 550 Spyder competition car, the sophisticated air-cooled flat-four unit featured four camshafts to duly go down in history as one of the great engines. Correspondence with Porsche Classic shows that the GT Speedster offered here, chassis 83607, left the factory on 12 July 1957. The bodywork by Reutter was finished in Silver Metallic to complement a Red leather interior, while the original engine number is listed as 90836. The Kardex sheet records that this 356 A was delivered to Gersteinmair of Baden-Baden, Germany. Thereafter, the car was destined to spend the next years of its life in America. It eventually moved to Michigan before, starting in 1982, a spell in Champaign, Illinois. Chassis 83607 joined The Aumann Collection in June 1991 from Westport Motors of St. Louis, Missouri. Having subsequently returned the car home to its native Germany via air freight from Chicago to Frankfurt, extensive restoration work was commissioned. At the time of purchase, the car was supplied with a dismantled Type 547/1 Carrera engine numbered 90067, which was installed during the rebuild, alongside the fitment of a new interior and wiring harness. The car was registered back on the road in September 1994. Later maintenance included an engine rebuild and an overhaul of the braking system in August 2000 before a new carburettor was equipped in work totalling 17,875 Deutsche Mark. More recently, this car was tended to by renowned Porsche engineer Karl Holch, who enlarged the capacity of the Carrera engine to 1,750-cc in March 2013 at a cost of €21,952. Accompanied by a history file, Speedster tonneau cover, spare wheel, and tool roll, this example of a high sought-after ‘Four-Cam’ GS/GT Speedster would make for an exquisite addition to any collection. 1957 Porsche 356 A Carrera GT Speedster by Reutter RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Consequently the elegant saloon was enthusiastically driven in rallies until in mid-2023, when the owner decided to reduce his collection and the car was de-registered. Currently the Jaguar is in a technically good condition with the 3.8 litre inline 6 providing ample torque and the gearbox shifting well.

- 1968 Porsche 908-004 LH
The 1968 Porsche 908-004 LH "Lang Heck" emerged from Porsche's racing division with one clear objective: endurance racing. As a successor to the 906 and 907, the 908 was meticulously engineered to tackle the era's biggest giants in motorsport. Its creation was a bold declaration, a challenge to the titans of endurance racing's zenith, most notably, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This machine wasn't just built to compete; it was forged to dominate. The 908's design focused on aerodynamic efficiency and weight reduction, making it a formidable contender on the endurance racing circuit. With the 908’s debut, Porsche signaled its challenge. Chassis 908-004 LH didn’t just participate in the World Sportscar Championship; it spearheaded Porsche’s grand assault. With every race, it weaved a narrative of speed, resilience, and pure racing prowess, clinching podiums and victories.

Its debut was nothing short of cinematic – a showcase of promise and potential at the Le Mans test weekend. The 908-004 LH wasn’t just another entrant; it was a protagonist in its own right, overcoming technical hurdles to challenge and often outpace the formidable competitors of its era. Le Mans was more than a race; it was a drama of speed and potential. Every aspect of its engineering, from the powertrain to the chassis and suspension, was crafted to create a car that could withstand the rigors of endurance racing and emerge victorious. The Porsche 908, and specifically Chassis 908-004 LH, represented a pinnacle in racing car design, characterized by its advanced technical specifications that played a crucial role in its performance on the track. The heart of the 908 was its powerful naturally aspirated 3-liter flat-8 air-cooled engine with an equally remarkable drivetrain. Its body was constructed from lightweight fiberglass, and the chassis was made of aluminum to cut its weight further. Chassis 908-004 LH reveals a vehicle designed with an uncompromising focus on performance, reliability, and efficiency. Every aspect of its engineering, from the powertrain to the chassis and suspension, was crafted to create a car that could withstand the rigors of endurance racing and emerge victorious.

- 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS 2
The much sought-after Ferrari 246 Dino GT was named after Enzo Ferrari's son Alfredo, who died in 1956, aged just 24. Enzo Ferrari credits his son with the inspiration for a series of successful small and medium capacity V6 racing engines built by Ferrari from 1956, and in turn, the name was given to a new line of mid-engined production Ferrari V6 coupés, which first went on sale in 1969. The Dino 246 GT has proved to be one of the most satisfying and successful automobiles built by Ferrari and paved the way for the emerging generation of mid-engined Ferraris. It is widely regarded as one of the best-handling and most gratifying automobiles of the early 70s, it is one of the most attractive, delicately balanced designs ever produced by the masters at Pininfarina. As a result, Dinos have enjoyed a well-deserved recent surge in popularity. The GTS version of the 246 Dino arrived at the Geneva Salon in March 1972, it was built on the series III platform and featured a removable targa roof panel that could be stowed behind the seats. The chassis was also modified with reinforced extra bracing along the sides and front of the engine frame. Aside the targa top visibly the GTS could be identified by the lack of rear three-quarter windows, these being replaced by a bank of three vents carved out from each sail panel. Production of both the GT and GTS came to an end in 1974, just 1274 GTSs were built. This Dino GTS was supplied new in Bianco Polo Park over Blu 135 with Blue Carpets and electric windows. Completed in October 1973, the car was supplied new by Pennine Motors of Harrogate, through the UK market importer, Maranello Concessionaires Ltd. The invoiced price to Pennine Motors in November 1973 was £5,572.95 including delivery, less the dealer's 17.5 % discount. The car was purchased in August 1974 and until 2021, this example resided within the large and significant collection of His Royal Highness Prince Alwaleed Al Saud, grandson of the founder and first ruler of Saudi Arabia. Understood to have been a gift by his wife, the Dino was purchased in the UK and fitted with a rather fitting cherished registration ‘3 HRH’ which it wore until 1993, leaving the UK in 2007. The Dino would follow the Prince to his Geneva residence, where it would change to a full diplomatic registration mark denoted by the precursory ‘CD’, an abbreviation of ‘Corps Diplomatique’, at the start. In total, this GTS would remain in the care of His Royal Highness Prince Alwaleed Al Saud for 47 years. Invoices in file document restorative works with Geneva-based Ferrari Modena Motors SA totalling £67,000 in 2009 and more recently, further works carried out by trusted main dealer and notable classic Ferrari specialist, Niki Hasler Ferrari of Basel amounting to a further £80,000. Purchased by a close friend of the Prince in 2021, this wonderful Dino is today offered for sale publicly for the first time since 1974. Presenting today superbly, in its striking original colour combination of Bianco Polo Park over Blu, this Dino GTS, certified as matching numbers and understood to be genuine mileage, is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately. 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS D.K.

- 1974 Fiat 124 Abarth Gr.4
The Fiat 124 Abarth Rally was one of the first fruits of Fiat’s 1971 purchase of the legendary firm Abarth, a partnership which would serve the Fiat Group in the World Rally Championship to tremendous effect for many years. Almost as soon as the 124 Spider appeared in 1966, privateers began rallying it in mid-level national events. The acquisition of Abarth gave Fiat the resources to field their own factory team. As part of the deal, Carlo Abarth insisted that the engineering team remain unchanged, which proved to be a critical ingredient to the 124 Abarth Rally’s success. Experienced and talented engineers Ivo Colucci and Stefano Jacoponi collaborated to create the 124 Abarth Rally, which employed the typical go-fast methods to turn the pleasant and enjoyable 124 Spider into something rather spicier. The most significant change was the replacement of the live rear axle with independent rear suspension. The body was also meaningfully lightened with the removal of the bumpers and the fitment of aluminum doors and fiberglass deck lids and hard top. A roll bar was added, as were flared wheel arches to accommodate wider alloy wheels. The engine received twin 44mm Weber carburetors and an Abarth exhaust, while the 5-speed synchronized gearbox and all round disc brakes were retained. Inside the car, the rear seat, center console, and glovebox lid were deleted, a 3-spoke leather rimmed Abarth steering wheel added, and aluminum dash trim replaced the faux wood. The first official outing of the Works Team was on 15th October 1972 at the Rally Portugal with Alcide Paganelli and Ninni Russo, who drove their car to an impressive 5th overall. The initial performance encouraged Fiat to continue its Factory effort and on February 12th, 1973 another Works 124 obtained second place in the Costa Brava Rally with Pinto and Bernacchini. Subsequently, an encouraging 4th place followed in the San Marino Rally with Babasio and Macaluso. The first, important international win arrived on April 14th, 1973 in the Yugoslavia Rally thanks to the all-female team of Tominz and Mamolo. 1974 marked the debut of the iconic "lobster orange" and light green livery and additional integrated headlamps. The season started with a victory of Bisulli-Zanuccoli at the San Marino Rally. In addition to running the European Rally Championship, the 124 Abarth Rally also ran in the big times, the World Rally Championship. It placed second in the final standings every year that it ran (1973-1975), initially behind the Alpine A110 and then of course behind the legendary Lancia Stratos. Even in that exalted company, the 124 managed some impressive wins, including a 1-2-3 finish at the Monte Carlo Rally in 1974! Seeking to polish the image of another of their road-going cars, Fiat replaced the 124 with the 131 for the 1976 WRC season, creating another icon in the process. Chassis 0062626 began its life in 1973 as an Abarth Stradale finished in white (one of just 3 colors offered) and was then later converted to Gr.3 specification, participating in minor competitions. More recently, the car underwent a full Gr.4 preparation with the much desired Colotti gearbox, racing in the 2000 class in few historic rallies including “La Grande Corsa” and “Rally Costa Smeralda” in 2018 conducted by Rocchetto-Paganoni, wearing white paint with GULF light-blue/orange accents. The car is ready to race with FIA historic technical passport and has been exercised regularly. 1974 Fiat 124 Abarth Gr.4 ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1983 BMW 635 CSi Group A
Please note that this lot is sold on a Bill of Sale. The 1970s witnessed all-out domination by BMW in the all-important European Touring Car Championship (ETCC); its 3.0 CSL “Batmobile” secured six Drivers’ and six Manufacturers’ titles in just seven years. However, the transition to Group A regulations in 1982 prompted a switch to the company’s new 3.5-litre 635 CSi model, the homologation of which led tuning specialists Alpina and Schnitzer Motorsport to jointly produce approximately 50 competition chassis between 1983 and 1985. Constructed across two distinct series, chassis E24-RA1-30 was a “late” first-series car initially delivered to Austrian gentleman driver, Karl Oppitzhauser, ahead of the 1984 ETCC season. Having previously raced and hill climbed such unlikely cars as a Lamborghini Miura and a Ferrari Dino 246 GTS—and attempted to qualify a privately-entered March 761 for the 1976 Austrian Grand Prix—Oppitzhauser’s motor racing resumé was certainly nothing if not varied. However, by the late 1970s, he had gained a reputation as a capable Touring Car driver, most notably in the potent Group 5 BMW 320 Turbo with which he competed between 1979 and 1983. Duly prepared by its owner’s eponymous team—and carrying sponsorship from German DIY store chain Bauhaus—E24-RA1-30 made its race debut in the 1984 500 km Monza, in which Oppitzhauser and co-driver Mario Zanuso finished 22nd overall. The car contested a further 10 ETCC rounds over the next three seasons, with Oppitzhauser principally sharing driving duties with fellow Austrian amateur, Georg Pacher. Pitted against works opposition from the likes of the TWR-Jaguar, TWR-Rover, and Eggenberger Volvo teams, their efforts were laudable; 8th place overall in the 1985 500 km Monza and 11th in the same year’s 500 km Salzburgring proving particular highlights. Significantly, former Hesketh Formula 1 driver Divina Galica shared E24-RA1-30 in the 1985 500 km Österreichring—although her race ended in retirement—while in mid-1986 the car was leased or sold to the Bavaria Automobiles team, which duly entered it in that year’s Spa 24 Hours. Driven by former Ligier Formula 1 pilot Francois Hesnault among others, the car failed to qualify for the event, marking the conclusion of its contemporary racing career. Acquired by the respected German race preparation specialist Brunn Racing in 2014, the car subsequently underwent a complete rebuild—albeit with great attention being paid to retaining all major components and the car’s remarkable patina—prior to entering the current ownership in 2017. It later underwent a full engine rebuild at Provence-based race preparation specialist Zig-Zag Motorsport Services in 2019 and is not recorded to have been driven since, with accompanying invoices totalling more than €30,000. Accompanied by four sets of spare wheels and FIA papers issued to the consigning owner, this car could be a highly competitive proposition for the Peter Auto Heritage Touring Cup and Motor Racing Legends Historic Touring Car Challenge, for which it is eligible and ideally suited. 1983 BMW 635 CSi Group A RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
