Upon resuming automobile production after World War II, Alfa Romeo continued with the latest development in its pre-war lineup, the 6C 2500. Introduced in 1939, the model featured an increased engine displacement of nearly 2.5 liters, and the Super Sport iteration rode a shortened 2,700-milimeter wheelbase chassis while being equipped with a triple-carbureted intake. Closed bodywork for these desirable sport saloons was built by Touring with the coachbuilder’s signature lightweight Superleggera construction technique of welding an aluminum body to a small-diameter tube-frame, while Pinin Farina completed a number of open cars. In 1949 Touring acquired a Super Sport chassis and clothed it in a more ornate version of the coupe design that featured a tapered rear end, rounded edges along the rocker panels, flatter belt lines trailing from the wheel arches, secondary rear-quarter windows that opened up the luxurious cabin, and distinctive decorative hood lines that emanated from the foglamp areas and curved toward the A-pillars. This car was shown to great acclaim at the 1949 Concorso Internazionale d’Eleganza a Como (the predecessor of today’s Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza on Lake Como, Italy), winning the Gran Premio Referendum (the people’s choice award). Encouraged by the design’s obvious popularity, Alfa Romeo approved a short run of additional cars among the general Super Sport chassis sequencing, to be aptly named Villa d’Este. Widely believed to comprise no more than 36 total examples, including a small handful of open cars, the Villa d’Este was built until the end of the 6C model’s production run in early 1952. As a boutique hand-built luxury model, no two examples are exactly alike, lending each car a character of unique one-off individuality. The pinnacle of 6C 2500 production, the Villa d’Este is today generally regarded as the most desirable iteration of Alfa Romeo’s celebrated post-war model, combining capable mechanical performance, luxurious interior amenities, and elegant exterior design. COMMENDATORE FERRARIO’S VILLA D’ESTE Benefitting from significant early ownership provenance, two multi-decade periods of single-owner care, and more recent restoration work by the consignor, this beautifully presented Villa d’Este is surely one of the finest examples to be encountered. According to respected marque historian Angelo Tito Anselmi’s seminal book on the 6C 2500 model, and as supplemented by the research of a former owner, chassis number 915902 is the 15th Villa d’Este example built. After completing assembly in mid-February 1950, the Alfa Romeo was delivered eight days later to its first owner, Commendatore Vincenzo Francesco Ferrario, of Bellagio, Italy, a picturesque village on the shores of Lake Como. Commendatore Ferrario was a sports car enthusiast who had purchased three Alfa Romeo 8C examples during the 1930s, and his association with the company brought him into contact with the manager of the factory’s racing team, Enzo Ferrari. The two men developed a close relationship, and ex-Scuderia Ferrari team manager Romolo Tavoni reportedly told a researcher that Ferrario was one of only two preferred clients whom Ferrari addressed in the informal tu verb tense (the other being pasta magnate Pietro Barilla). Indeed, Ferrario’s closeness to the company was confirmed when he became a member of the managing board of SEFAC (Ferrari’s corporate umbrella of the 1960s). In January 1952 Ferrario put this Alfa Romeo through the competitive paces when he entered the car in the Monte Carlo Rally, a 3,374-kilometer trek that would take him from Palermo to Monte Carlo, through several challenging patches of inclement weather. Entered as race #194, and with a mysterious co-pilot (either V. Pellecchia or factory test driver Bruno Monini), the Villa d’Este finished 108th among 328 starting cars, of which only 163 crossed the finish line. Although the Alfa Romeo’s interim history is currently unknown, by the early 1970s the Villa d’Este was discovered in Switzerland and purchased by Ottavio “Popi” Franzi, who was a scion of the Franzi family manufacturing conglomerate, which had included a high-quality leather concern called Conceria Monzese. Franzi commissioned a full restoration by Carrozzeria Lopane of Cormano, which included retrimming the interior with Franzi boar hides, and adding a set of matching leather luggage. The Franzi family went on to keep the Villa d’Este for over two decades, establishing an impressive period of fastidious single-owner care. In 1994 the Alfa Romeo was sold to an Italian enthusiast who conducted a gradual sympathetic freshening that included a refinish of the coachwork in period-correct Amaranto paint, and the engine compartment in proper beige-green. Numerous efforts were taken to replicate small details, like the installation of correct headlamps, copponi rounded hubcaps, and a period Aster radio; and the fabrication of new leather luggage. The owner also presented the car at a host of high-level shows around the world, including the 1994 Paris Bagatelle (class win), 1996 Trieste Concours d’Elegance (first overall), 1999 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, 2000 Villa d’Este Concorso d'Eleganza (Special Award from the Como Automobile Club), and the 2001 European Concours d'Elegance Schwetzingen (class win and Most Elegant Italian Car award). In 2019, after 25 years of dedicated care, the Italian owner sold the Villa d’Este to the consignor, a very discerning Alfa Romeo collector based in Massachusetts. For the next three years, the current owner invested over $80,000 in additional restorative attention to the coachwork and mechanical elements, and a new interior was installed in 2022. Beautifully presented in Amaranto over tan, this handsome Villa d’Este retains its matching-numbers engine, and one can easily imagine Commendatore Ferrario flogging the able steed through the snowy mountain passes of the 1952 Monte Carlo Rally. Still benefitting from two long-term ownerships, as well as the recent attention of one of the world’s most knowledgeable Alfa Romeo collectors, this elegant Villa d’Este is an ideal candidate for presentation at exclusive concours d’elegance, or enjoyment on major touring events. As a rare example of one of Milan’s most celebrated models, 915902 will make a wonderful complement to any sporting collection. 1950 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Super Sport RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The DeTomaso Mangusta is undoubtedly an exceptional car that holds a very special place in the world of classic sports cars. There are countless reasons why this car is considered special. The design of the De Tomaso Mangusta is one of its most outstanding characteristics. The exciting and angular body, with its powerful Ford V8 under the winged tailgates, was one of the most sought-after super sports cars of its time between 1967 and 1971. “Mangusta” is the Italian word for the mongoose – a small mammal capable of defeating poisonous cobras. The name “Mangusta” signaled that this car was to be a serious competitor for Corolla Shelby’s Cobras. The vehicle presented here was extensively restored in Germany by a marque expert and coated using a cathodic dip-paint process. The car is in an excellent condition. Only 401 vehicles were manufactured in total. Technically and in this rare and attractive color scheme, it looks like a typical Italian sports car, but it is a tamed racing car…! 1968 De Tomaso Mangusta Thiesen Hamburg GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

CALIFORNIA EVOLUTION Ferrari achieved incredible heights during the 1950s and 1960s with its 250 GT platform, experiencing remarkable success in sports car competition with models such as the Tour de France, Testa Rossa, and GTO. Alongside these wondrous racing machines, Maranello built a magnificent line of roadgoing 250 GT models that came to define the peak of engineering and style. Among the competition-oriented GT models, the 250 GT California Spider is particularly celebrated. The initial long-wheelbase version found immediate racing success, taking a class win at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1959 and finishing 5th overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans a few months later. At the 1960 Geneva Salon, Maranello introduced an updated version built on the company’s new 2,400-millimetre short wheelbase, offering improved handling and styling. The revised California Spider featured a wider track, Koni telescopic shocks, four-wheel disc brakes, and the latest evolution of the “short-block” V-12 engine. Produced in a modest quantity of 56 examples, the SWB California Spider is justifiably regarded as one of the most beautiful and pedigreed Ferraris ever built, combining timeless design with race-winning performance. DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN—CHASSIS NUMBER 2955 GT Claiming a role as one of Maranello’s special period show cars, and boasting the presence of its matching-numbers components as authenticated by a Ferrari Classiche “Red Book”, not to mention a recent refurbishment by a world-renowned Italian restoration shop, this scintillating short-wheelbase California Spider is an exquisite example. According to the research of marque expert Marcel Massini, chassis number 2955 GT is the 26th example built. Configured with covered headlamps, orange signal lamps in a low position on the front wings, and no bumper brackets, the Ferrari was finished in Bianco Saratoga paint over an interior of Nero vaumol leather by Connolly. Upon completing assembly in September 1961, the 250 GT was delivered to Auto Becker, the famed German importer based in Düsseldorf. Auto Becker then immediately presented the car on its stand at the 40th Annual IAA Frankfurt Motor Show, where the car established its identity as one of Ferrari’s important period show cars. A month later the California Spider was sold to its first owner, André Budi-Medawar, a Lebanese enthusiast who kept the car in Rome. Over the next two years the short-wheelbase enjoyed service at the Garage Vincenzo Malagò & Co in Rome, as well as technical inspections at the Ferrari factory. In 1965 the Ferrari was exported to Luigi Chinetti Motors in the United States, which in turn sold the car to Charles Hamill, Jr of Belleville, Illinois. For one reason or another Mr. Hamill was apparently not persuaded by the Spider’s dynamic character, for he soon returned 2955 GT to Chinetti Motors, and it was subsequently sold to Bernard Stayman of Dayton, Ohio. In May 1966 Mr Stayman presented the California at the FCA National Concours in Indianapolis, Indiana, where it was awarded the prize for Best Convertible. In 1969, after three years of ownership, Mr. Stayman sold the Spider via a referral from Hollywood Sport Cars to Ken Mars of Granada Hills, California. Mr. Mars was a longtime character actor whose most famous roles came with memorable turns in Peter Bogdonavich’s What’s Up Doc? (opposite Barbara Streisand) and Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein (as the scene-stealing prosthetic-armed gendarme). Mr Mars retained possession of the 250 GT for a remarkable period of over 30 years, during which he repainted the coachwork in Rosso. After three decades of devoted custody, in January 2000 Mr Mars sold the Ferrari to the brokers Rick Cole and Marty Yacoobian, and they in turn sold the car to auctioneer Craig Jackson. The 250 GT was then purchased from Jackson in March 2000 by a Frankfurt-based collector who is notable for being one of the founders of a world-famous wheel company. After importing the Spider to the UK, the owner commissioned a restoration by some of Italy’s top craftsmen, including the specialists at Carrozzeria Autosport, and the highly regarded Bacchelli & Villa. This work included a cosmetic renewal in blue paint over a tan leather interior. In 2018, Mr Busch submitted 2955 GT for certification by Ferrari Classiche, and it was later issued a “Red Book” that notes the presence of the matching-numbers engine, gearbox, rear axle, and coachwork. After 19 years of fastidious care by the German owner, the Ferrari was sold in July 2019 to the consigning owner, an international businessman who maintains a strong collection of important motorcars in Europe. In 2019 the current owner commissioned a second restoration, this time by Dino Cognolato’s highly respected shop in Vigonza, Italy. In addition to a complete mechanical overhaul, the Spider was treated to a refinish in the current elegant color combination of Blu Scuro paint over a rosso leather interior, with the addition of a silver hard top. With the hardtop installed, the Spider flaunts a gorgeous profile, attaining aesthetic perfection from every angle. Following the completion of the restoration in 2022 the Ferrari was exhibited at the 2022 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, a strong endorsement of the car’s overall importance and quality. Displaying 2,447 post-restoration kilometers at the time of cataloguing, and certified by Ferrari Classiche to be a matching-numbers example, chassis number 2955 GT is primed for additional high-level exhibition at major concours d’elegance and marque events, or it may be enjoyed for its splendid driving qualities, as originally envisioned by John von Neumann. Noteworthy for being a show car at the 1961 Frankfurt Motor Show, this short-wheelbase California Spider would make a crowning addition to even the most accomplished collections. 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spider by Scaglietti RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Alongside these wondrous racing machines, Maranello built a magnificent line of roadgoing 250 GT models that came to define the peak of engineering and style. Among the competition-oriented GT models, the 250 GT California Spider is particularly celebrated. The initial long-wheelbase version found immediate racing success, taking a class win at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1959 and finishing 5th overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans a few months later. At the 1960 Geneva Salon, Maranello introduced an updated version built on the company’s new 2,400-millimetre short wheelbase, offering improved handling and styling. The revised California Spider featured a wider track, Koni telescopic shocks, four-wheel disc brakes, and the latest evolution of the “short-block” V-12 engine. Produced in a modest quantity of 56 examples, the SWB California Spider is justifiably regarded as one of the most beautiful and pedigreed Ferraris ever built, combining timeless design with race-winning performance.

Highlights: Excellent condition Clean CarFax Desirable color combination Custom interior Upgraded stereo system Technical Specifications: 3.2-liter DOHC V8 270 horsepower 5-speed manual transmission with gated shifter 92.5 inch-wheelbase The Ferrari 328 is still considered one of the most reliable classic Ferraris available. One reason is most of the service work can be performed without removing the engine from the car, a definite desirable factor when looking to keep maintenance costs down. The 328 is a direct descendant of the 308 and still shares many of the same designs in appearance. It was a perennial favorite automobile poster in the 1980s. Black Horse Garage is proud to represent this 1987 Ferrari 328 GTS. This 328 stands out from the rest of the 328 pack with its unique color combination. The black paint is in excellent condition and the interior is a stunning custom job of terracotta leather seats, center console and door panels. The dash is covered in black leather and the tan carpets were also replaced during the cosmetic makeover. It has been cared for well through the years and it has just over 53,000 miles on it. The 328 GTS is powered by a mid-mounted 3.2-liter V8 engine that produces 270 horsepower. It is driven by a 5-speed manual transmission with a dog-leg gated shifter. This 328 last had its major service in 2016, so it is due for one, but because the engine does not need to be removed on this model, maintenance costs will not be as high as other models. This Ferrari GTS had a significant stereo upgrade which is better to be heard than seen. The sound system is hidden in the car so as not to distract from the other Ferrari looks. Sound deadening material was also used underneath. 1987 Ferrari 328 JamesEdition B.V. If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

This 1975 Porsche 911 Carrera has been refinished in black over a tan interior and is powered by a replacement air-cooled 2.7L flat-six that has reportedly been modified with Mahle cylinders, JE 9.5:1 pistons, Elgin camshafts, and a 911E cylinder head with twin-plug provisions. Additional equipment includes a five-speed manual transaxle, staggered-width 15? Fuchs wheels, Carrera-style brakes, a 22mm front sway bar, 26mm rear torsion bars, Bilstein shocks, a power-operated sunroof, power windows, front and rear spoilers, a Sony CD stereo, and SSI heat exchangers. This 911 Carrera was acquired by the current owner in 2016 and is now offered on dealer consignment with a tool roll, a jack, partial service records, and a clean California title in the current owner’s name. The body was finished from the factory in Light Yellow (117) and was repainted black under previous ownership. Exterior details include a power-operated sunroof, fog lights, front and rear spoilers, dual side-view mirrors, pop-out rear windows, and a single exhaust outlet. Cracking paint is visible on the roof, and paint-meter readings are provided in the gallery below. Staggered-width Fuchs 15? alloy wheels are mounted with Avon Radial tires measuring 185/70 up front and 215/60 out back. A space-saver spare is housed in the front storage compartment. The car rides on Bilstein shocks and has been fitted with steering rack spacers along with Turbo-style ball joints and tie rods. The front and rear control arm bushings and rear spring plate bushings were replaced in May 2019, at which time larger brake rotors and calipers, 26mm rear torsion bars, and a 22mm front sway bar were installed. The cabin houses front bucket seats and folding rear seats upholstered in tan leather. Interior appointments include power windows and a Sony CD stereo. A three-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation that includes a central tachometer, a 150-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 42k miles, and true mileage is unknown. The speedometer was repaired by Palo Alto Speedometer in May 2021. The replacement air-cooled 2.7L flat-six is said to have been fitted with a modified 2.4E cylinder head equipped with provisions for twin plug use, along with Time-Serts, an oil bypass modification, and modified 2.2L throttle bodies. Additional equipment reportedly includes Mahle cylinders, JE forged 9.5:1 compression pistons, Elgin camshafts, and later-style Carrera hydraulic chain tensioners. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Type 915 five-speed manual transaxle reportedly fitted with a Sachs aluminum plate clutch. SSI heat exchanges have been fitted, and additional underside images are provided in the gallery. 1975 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe Mohr Imports, Inc.

The front and rear control arm bushings and rear spring plate bushings were replaced in May 2019, at which time larger brake rotors and calipers, 26mm rear torsion bars, and a 22mm front sway bar were installed. The cabin houses front bucket seats and folding rear seats upholstered in tan leather. Interior appointments include power windows and a Sony CD stereo. A three-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation that includes a central tachometer, a 150-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 42k miles, and true mileage is unknown. The speedometer was repaired by Palo Alto Speedometer in May 2021. The replacement air-cooled 2.7L flat-six is said to have been fitted with a modified 2.4E cylinder head equipped with provisions for twin plug use, along with Time-Serts, an oil bypass modification, and modified 2.2L throttle bodies. Additional equipment reportedly includes Mahle cylinders, JE forged 9.5:1 compression pistons, Elgin camshafts, and later-style Carrera hydraulic chain tensioners. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Type 915 five-speed manual transaxle reportedly fitted with a Sachs aluminum plate clutch. SSI heat exchanges have been fitted, and additional underside images are provided in the gallery.

This example was supplied new in February 1993 to Cees van der Velden, the former world champion powerboat racer inimitably nicknamed ‘the flying dutchman’. With such a late build date, this F40 is understood to be the 3rd from last production F40 built. Spending much of his time on water, it was used sparingly, returning to supplying dealership Kroymans Ferrari for major belt services, with all other work carried out by his powerboat team, Velden Racing. After van der Velden’s passing, the F40 was sold to a close friend and proprietor of Holland’s second largest supermarket chain. A keen collector of vintage Formula 1 racecars as well as a frequent sponsor of motorsports, the F40 would continue to be used sparingly. The car would continue to visit Kroymans for servicing and was seen on several occasions at charity events in northern Holland. In December 2011, this F40 was imported into the UK by Hexagon Classics, shortly after selling to Mr Willsone of Essex. The car received an inspection ahead of purchase at Maranello Ferrari in Egham having covered just 16,500 kms. It’s time in the UK has seen the car cover fewer than 700 kilometres in 12 years. Receiving near-annual services from the Ferrari main dealer network, this example sports five services with Maranello Egham and two further services from Graypaul & JCT600. Upon arrival at DK Engineering in 2024, this example was fully inspected by our workshops. As part of the sale it will be fitted with new fuel tanks and a major belt service will also be carried out. This fabulous F40 today presents with just 17,100 kilometres from new and marks a bookend of Ferrari’s F40 production. This example is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately. 1992 Ferrari F40 D.K. Engineering Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA Behold the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA, the history-steeped Italian marque’s fabled touring car. Timelessly styled by Bertone, the GTA’s body was crafted from a new-fangled and very light alloy dreamt up by Alfa’s Servizio Esperienze Carpenteria, comprising aluminium, magnesium, manganese, copper and zinc. Once the magnesium wheels, Perspex windows, aluminium suspension components and lightweight door handles (yes, really) were thrown into the mix, the Giulia Sprint tipped the scales at a mere 740kg, earning the car its Gran Turismo Alleggerita (Italian for lightweight) nomenclature. The GTA’s weight – or rather lack of – equated to nimbleness. And the legendary 1,570cc twin-spark engine, fed by two twin-barrel Weber carburettors, equated to speed. Alfa’s intentions for the Giulia Sprint was for it to win races. And win races it most certainly did. The factory’s decorated racing outfit Autodelta enjoyed great success with the GTA, clinching European Touring Car Championship (ETCC) titles in 1966, ’67 and ’68. And the factory’s more potent GTA 1300 Junior and GTAm scored a further two ETCC victories in 1970 and ’71. Chassis no. 752540 One of just 501 GTA 1600s constructed, chassis AR 752540 was completed at the fabled Arese works on 22 July 1965. Factory archives detail its finish in the quintessential GTA colour scheme of Rosso with Nero interior. On 2 March 1966 the car was dispatched to US Importers Alfa Romeo Inc. of Newark, New Jersey. It was one of just 14 right-hand drive GTAs exported to the US that year. This select batch of cars were intended primarily for use in the burgeoning Trans-American Sedan Championship – colloquially known as ‘Trans-Am’ – as logic suggested that their configuration would offer superior weight distribution on the predominantly clockwise US tracks. Supplied to first owner Dick Peritz of Little Neck, New York via Brooklyn-based agents Carmelo Giuffre Alfa Romeo, 752540 made its competition debut on 19 June 1966 in the SCCA Regional meeting at Bridgehampton, New York. Driven by Peritz himself, the pair finished a fine second in class and third overall in the Sedan race, beaten only by future Sports Car luminaries Bob Tullius and Tony Adamowicz. Three weeks later, the car was entered for the third round of the 1966 Trans-Am series at Bryar, New Hampshire; the 250-mile race representing a noticeable step up both in duration and prestige. Facing Lotus-Cortina mounted opposition from the likes of Frank Gardner, Sir John Whitmore and ultimate winner Allan Moffat, Peritz acquitted himself well, finishing sixth in the under-2 litre category and 11th overall. The series reconvened at Virginia International Raceway in late July for the VIR 400; a two driver, 400-mile blast through the undulating countryside outside Danville, Virginia. Alfa Romeo’s early season form saw the Lotus-Cortina attack bolstered by Jacky Ickx and Richard Attwood, while the entry list also featured – somewhat incongruously – local NASCAR stars Richard Petty, David Pearson and Curtis Turner in the over 2-litre class. If Ford’s eventual Mustang 1-2, after more than five hours of racing, was emphatic, then so too was Alfa Romeo’s performance in the under 2-litre category; GTAs accounting for the entire class podium. With Peritz ably assisted by fellow New Yorker Gerry Dorman on this occasion, 752540 finished a creditable ninth in class and 12th overall. Following a comprehensive rebuild over the winter of 1966/67, the GTa was duly repainted mid-blue. Gerry Dorman drove the revamped car to a class win at the SCCA meeting at Lime Rock, Connecticut in May 1967, before once again partnering Peritz to finish 18th overall – and eighth in class – in the 4 Hours of Mont Tremblant the following weekend. Acquired by Dorman from Peritz in mid-1967, 752540 practised for the 4 Hours of Lime Rock–round 4 of that year’s Trans-Am Championship–but did not race; this event marking the last known involvement of either with the car. It is understood that it was subsequently repurchased by original supplier Carmelo Giuffre, and that he contested the 1970 Trans-Am round at Lime Rock, albeit retiring after just six laps. By 1978, 752540 had been acquired by Pennsylvania-based enthusiast Bill Winne, who registered the car in his home State prior to its sale in 1981 to Californian Al Cortes. After more than a decade in the Golden State – during which time it had commenced historic racing in the hands of erstwhile owner Joey Mazzotta – the car returned to Italy in 1992, when purchased by Pier Enrico Tonetti. Having retained the car for some 19 years–and converted it to left-hand drive form–Sig. Tonetti then sold 752540 to renowned Italian car connoisseur Dr. Paul Schouwenberg of Haarlem, Netherlands in 2011, who in turn sold it to Charles ‘Chuck’ Wegner of Del Mar, California, in 2015. An esteemed collector of rare and interesting Ferraris, Mr. Wegner opted to sell 752540 to the present owner in 2017; his decision being prompted–not unreasonably–by the imminent arrival of no lesser car than a Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder. Retained, raced and enjoyed by the vendor ever since, 752540 has benefitted from fastidious preparation by marque specialists GPS Classic; the total expenditure during the current ownership amounting to some €225,000. Brilliantly conceived, exquisitely executed and hugely successful in period–as evidenced by six ETCC crowns in seven years, and Under 2-litre Trans-Am titles in 1966 and 1970 – the GTA indubitably remains one of the all-time Touring Car greats. In the case of this magnificently presented example, these attributes are further supplemented by its fascinating competition history, comprehensive accompanying documentation and exhaustive recent maintenance. Finally, its enormous versatility – and eligibility for events as diverse as the Tour Auto, Spa 6 Hours, Goodwood Revival and Monterey Historics – render it the consummate Historic Racing ‘all-rounder’, and one assuredly worthy of inclusion in any appropriately discerning car collection. 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA 1600 Girardo & Co.

The Mercedes 230SL, affectionately known as the “Pagode”, owes its nickname to the unique hardtop reminiscent of Asian temple roofs. Designed by Paul Bracq and Béla Barényi, it is not only visually striking but also highly functional. The slightly concave shape of the hardtop provides extra rigidity and safety, truly revolutionary at the time. The 230SL Pagode has also graced the silver screen, appearing in films and TV series, including the iconic James Bond movie “You Only Live Twice” (1967). Its timeless design made it a favourite choice for filmmakers looking to add a touch of class. Our 1966 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL W113 has recently undergone a full Nut & Bolt restoration, meticulously documented with detailed photographs and invoices. This European-delivered model guarantees years of driving pleasure. Finished in Silver Grey Metallic with a dark brown leather interior, it is one of the most stylish and desirable combinations available. Every trip, whether to the Côte d’Azur or a Sunday cruise to the ice cream store around the corner feels effortlessly, not like a typical classic car. This Mercedes shines and is ready to turn heads at every corner. Now it’s time for this beauty to give back the love.

Designed by Paul Bracq and Béla Barényi, it is not only visually striking but also highly functional. The slightly concave shape of the hardtop provides extra rigidity and safety, truly revolutionary at the time. The 230SL Pagode has also graced the silver screen, appearing in films and TV series, including the iconic James Bond movie “You Only Live Twice” (1967). Its timeless design made it a favourite choice for filmmakers looking to add a touch of class. Our 1966 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL W113 has recently undergone a full Nut & Bolt restoration, meticulously documented with detailed photographs and invoices. This European-delivered model guarantees years of driving pleasure. Finished in Silver Grey Metallic with a dark brown leather interior, it is one of the most stylish and desirable combinations available. Every trip, whether to the Côte d’Azur or a Sunday cruise to the ice cream store around the corner feels effortlessly, not like a typical classic car. This Mercedes shines and is ready to turn heads at every corner. Now it’s time for this beauty to give back the love. Are you ready?

As Italy emerged from the ravages of war, government support for industrial growth was in full swing. In 1950 when Alfa Romeo launched their all-new unit bodied 1900 series, unprecedented demand for the innovative and stylish car immediately propelled Alfa Romeo into larger more profitable markets. By 1953 technical and performance improvements resulted in the 1900 becoming a force to be reckoned with at the racetrack, successfully challenging more powerful and vastly more expensive cars. The newly developed dual overhead cam alloy-head four cylinder offered hemispherical combustion chambers, dual carburetors, and a floor shift five speed gearbox. Alfa Romeo boasted success in the Targa Florio, the Stella Alpina and the Coupe des Alpes to name a few. Many of the finest Italian coachbuilders designed and built bodies for the 1900 in a wide range of configurations. Ultimately the rarest and most desirable of this series would become the Zagato Berlinetta. Originally conceived as a singular example, in 1954 Elio Zagato rebodied the short wheelbase 1900C hand forming a lightweight aluminum body over the steel structure. This unique design resulted in a lower profile upper, fastback roof line, and low-profile stance. In addition to the light alloy body, plexiglass was used for the side and rear windows, no front or rear bumpers were mounted, and minimal trim decorated only the necessary air intakes. The low-profile hood and dramatically dipped nose created a smaller frontal cross section for better air flow and a menacing face when closing in on competitors. The offset hood scoop allowed faster air flow to the twin Weber carburetors and the distinctive double bubble roof offered more space for taller drivers and added to the muscular presence of this capable car. Zagato’s Sant Ambroeus competition division, one of the most successful Italian racing concerns during the golden age of motorsports, campaigned the prototype earning the attention of Alfa Romeo. Recognizing both the visual and performance value, Alfa Romeo quickly sanctioned limited production by supplying the chassis to Zagato who completed approximately 39 hand-crafted examples by 1956. Once sold to privateer racers, these cars competed in European Sports Car racing events in the over 2-liter class including six examples with entrance at the 1955 Mille Miglia and a Sverige Grand Prix win with Joakim Bonnier at the wheel of his SSZ beating both Porsche and Fiat 8Vs. History of AR1900C01955 According to research supplied by Alfa Romeo model expert Peter Marshall and Italian car expert John de Boer, this Alfa 1900 Zagato is the 23rd of 39 examples built by Zagato and the second car delivered in 1955. Completed in September 1954, the chassis number 01955 coincidentally corresponds to the year of manufacture. Built in mid-series production, the car was crafted with a smooth roof and single intake hood scoop. In March 1955, the first owner, Dr. Vincenzo Fornasari, a preferred client of Zagato, took delivery of this car. Fornasari also owned a Maserati A6G/54 Zagato. In May 1955, Luigi Fornasari, the doctor’s son, entered this car as #415 in the Mille Miglia. The young yet capable Fornasari finished 11th in class and 38th overall, later improving with a 3rd in class (11th overall) at the Bolzano-Mendola, 1st in class (11th overall) at the Aosta-Gran San Bernardo, and 2nd in class (5th overall) at the Stella Alpina. These results were even more impressive considering these victories were largely privately backed against more formidably funded entrants. By early 1959 this 1900C Alfa Romeo was fitted with a double-bubble roof, likely to accommodate a taller driver, and imported to the United States where it came under the ownership of Ernie Mendicki, a well-known performance car dealer, racer, and collector based in Oakland, California. By the 1970s, after passing through the care of Jim Keown, Monterey, CA, the car was acquired by Jim Cesari, a Palo Alto, CA resident and collector active in vintage racing. Mr. Cesari campaigned the car at the Monterey Historics and Sears Point through the late 1970s selling it to Ugo Piccagli, a Texas-based racing enthusiast who participated in European vintage racing events including the 1986 Targa Florio and 1987 Mille Miglia Storica. After Piccaldi’s ownership, the car was acquired by a long-term owner, who displayed it at the Blackhawk Museum, Danville, CA for several years through the early 2000s. By 2016, experts Phil Reilly & Co. Corte Madera, CA tended to the car primarily for mechanical freshening including brakes, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, and flywheel, followed by further work in 2022. The current consigning owner purchased the car in 2023 through RM Auctions and has since spent $129,000 in comprehensive mechanical refurbishment including rebuilding the original engine and Weber carburetors as well as rebuilding the gearbox. Further mechanical restoration includes the installation of new front Koni shock absorbers, radiator rebuild and recore, starter rebuild, new water pump, numerous specialty engine components and specialized machining for the head and cylinder liners, differential work, five new Michelin tires, detailed painting and finishing for the engine compartment while the engine and transmission were removed, and further sorting after reinstallation of the rebuilt engine, transmission, suspension, brakes and rear end. Upon completion, the owner participated in various vintage motoring events, including the 2023 Colorado Grand. Highly eligible for the coveted Mille Miglia Retrospective on account of its period participation in the 1955 event, today this rare and desirable Alfa Romeo offers refined mechanical preparation coupled with cosmetic presentation ideal for vintage events without the responsibilities associated with jeweled displays. The paint is smooth and glossy, perfectly suited for driving event participation. The silver finish is accented by Italian flag stripes on the roof and body side sections. The minimal chrome and polished trim, lenses, and exterior details fit properly to the body while the plexiglass windows show signs of use typical in cars that are enjoyed rather than simply displayed. The gloss black painted wire wheels are shod with a new set of Michelin 165 R 400 tires and accented with chrome plated dual ear knock offs embossed with the Alfa Romeo script. The Zagato emblems and pivot-lever door handles are modest elements to the smoothly contoured hand-formed alloy body lines. The interior has been pared down to the essentials but in true Italian style, even competition cars are artfully finished. The dashboard includes an array of five instruments with excellent detail and numbering. A rare, polished aluminum and wood rim flat Nardi steering wheel fronts the instrument binnacle. The black bucket seats are comfortable and well positioned offering ease of entrance and exit and comfort for drivers up to six feet tall with headroom improved due to the double bubble design. A rollbar is fitted along with other more recent safety provisions for modern event use. Overall, the interior exhibits refined craftsmanship and design in keeping with the exterior presentation. Under the hood, the original engine has been verified by the Alfa Romeo Classiche “Certificato Di Origine” confirming the corresponding engine number AR 1308 00891. The engine and engine compartment has benefited from recent restoration and extensive mechanical preparation including various components, hardware, and details all of which have been brought together with mechanical harmony and aesthetic refinement consistent with original features. The textured black castings are uniformly finished, and the Weber carburetors breathe through four polished trumpet stacks topping the intake manifold. The underside of the car exhibits correct mechanical details, proper castings, correct suspension components and various newly fitted brakes and suspension components ensuring ongoing mechanical integrity. The floor is structurally sound and representative of a car that has been cared for by documented owners who have appreciated the rarity of this car while actively sharing it in vintage motoring events. On the road, this 1900 delivers enjoyable spirited Italian performance coupled with the dynamic and rare Zagato coachbuilt body design. Alfa Romeo 1900s are known to be resilient and responsive, but this example will find drivers especially delighted by the performance and ease of use when behind the wheel. The gearbox is smooth and easy to shift, the brakes are consistent for this era, and the handling is surprisingly balanced even at higher speeds. This Berlinetta is accompanied by copies of recent mechanical restoration receipts totaling $129k, a copy of the Alfa Romeo Classiche Certificate verifying the chassis and engine number, a jack, a pair of headlights, a spare rubber shifter boot, and a spare clutch. The 23rd of just 39 examples built, each one uniquely handmade, this Alfa Romeo 1900 SS Zagato represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly event-eligible Alfa Romeo ready to continue the traditions of motoring excellence it began more than half a century ago. Certainly, comparable to other powerhouse Zagato centerpieces found in major collections, the combination of design excellence, historic racing history, original Mille Miglia participation, original engine, and documented provenance presents an ideal vintage sports car for those who admire the very best in Alfa Romeo history. 1955 Alfa Romeo 1900C SS Berlinetta Zagato Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Khamsin was presented as a prototype at the 1972 Turin Motor Show. The production version of the Khamsin was presented by Maserati at the 1973 Geneva Motor Show and went into series production at the end of the same year. The very elegant design was created by Bertone’s star designer Marcello Gandini. The hydraulic components from Citroen give the car an unparalleled ease of driving. This beautiful Maserati was delivered to its first Swiss owner, Dott. Giacomo Ghezzi, in early 1976. In 1978 it changed hands to Markus Limacher – Limacher AG, an established Maserati and Ferrari dealer. It remained there for 30 years until it came to the current owner via its third Swiss owner in 2013. The last two owners alone invested over €100,000 in the vehicle. The vehicle is full-matching and one of the technically best Khamsins offered on the market. All work was carried out by renowned workshops. Only 435 units were produced from 1974 to 1982. 1975 Maserati Khamsin Thiesen Hamburg GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The production version of the Khamsin was presented by Maserati at the 1973 Geneva Motor Show and went into series production at the end of the same year. The very elegant design was created by Bertone’s star designer Marcello Gandini. The hydraulic components from Citroen give the car an unparalleled ease of driving. This beautiful Maserati was delivered to its first Swiss owner, Dott. Giacomo Ghezzi, in early 1976. In 1978 it changed hands to Markus Limacher – Limacher AG, an established Maserati and Ferrari dealer. It remained there for 30 years until it came to the current owner via its third Swiss owner in 2013. The last two owners alone invested over €100,000 in the vehicle. The vehicle is full-matching and one of the technically best Khamsins offered on the market. All work was carried out by renowned workshops. Only 435 units were produced from 1974 to 1982.

The Lamborghini Diablo debuted on 21st January 1990 as the replacement for the Countach. Marcello Gandini's design language of a wedge shape and cabin-forward design carried over to the Diablo, but it was considerably refined and made less angular, both in the pursuit of aerodynamic performance and to increase its appeal to a wider audience. Power was sent rearward from a 5.7-litre, fuel-injected version of the evergreen Giotto Bizzarrini V-12 engine, capable of 485 horsepower and a top speed over 200 mph. This latest Lamborghini also introduced creature comforts such as power windows and mirrors—though the steering remained unassisted (for the early cars), and an air-conditioning system was optional (until 1997). At the 1993 Geneva Motor Show, Lamborghini unveiled the Diablo VT, an all-wheel drive variant with cosmetic and mechanical improvements, which altogether greatly improved its high-speed tractability over the base model. Looking to increase driver and passenger comfort, upgrades included a lighter clutch, slightly bigger seats, a restyled dashboard, and an improved air-conditioning system. Intakes were added to the VT’s front fascia near the driving lights, to assist in cooling the new four-piston Brembo brakes. The driving lights themselves were also increased in number and output to aid visibility. Power steering now helped to make the car easier to control, along with an active suspension with electronically adjustable dampers. The all-wheel-drive “viscous traction” platform was borrowed from the limited production GT model, as was the 6.0-litre V12 engine, with mechanical and electronic revisions, the output was rated at 549 hp and a hugely impressive 457 foot-pounds of torque. The already quick Diablo was now capable of covering the 0 to 60 mph dash in just 3.8 seconds, and on to a storming top speed approaching 210 mph, only being outpaced by a handful of exotics that included the McLaren F1 and Jaguar XJ220. This example of the desirable, late model Diablo was delivered new to America in the year 2000. It arrived finished in the distinctive and appealing hue of Blu Ely, an exceptionally rare colour of which only 3 Diablos are known to have been painted in; with the interior adorned in Ivory and black leather, carbon fibre, and navy blue carpets. During its recent ownership, the car has built up a collection of documents, including frequent servicing invoices with recent work, including the annual service, being completed in November 2019. Since then, the vehicle has been driven less than 1,000 kilometres. Despite the low distance covered in later years, the car has seen thorough and comprehensive work, with no fewer than 11 services completed since 2016. As well as the mechanical and performance focussed improvements that were brought to the diablo when the VT 6.0 debuted, there also were also advancements in terms of NVH and interior build quality, which can largely be attributed to the takeover of Lamborghini by Audi as part of the Volkswagen group, post Chrysler merger. To many, this makes later Diablos the sweet spot in the longstanding and iconic Lamborghini V12 lineage, with earlier cars simply being more compromised and less well constructed, and more contemporary cars being too sterile thanks to the increase in VAG involvement. The pleasant hue of Blu Ely was introduced to the Lamborghini pallet late into the 2000 model year, and the Diablo was the only model to be available in the colour, until it was brought to the Ad Personam pallet when the studio expanded in 2013. A shade comparable to the more contemporary Blu Cepheus, although the latter is a touch lighter and pearlescent. It can also remind one of alluring Porsche Paint to Sample blues such as PTS Rivera Blue or PTS Mexico Blue in certain light, which demonstrates well the depth and versatility of Blu Ely, despite it being a non-metallic and non-pearlescent finish. This Diablo currently reads 42,250 kilometres from new, and comes with the original toolkit in great condition, as well as its fuse and bulb kit, service records and history documents. This car presents a great opportunity to own a more modern, more refined Diablo in great mechanical and visual condition, adorned in a rare and attractive colour combination. 2000 Lamborghini Diablo D.K.
