- 1973 Ford Escort Mk1 RS2000
Sourced on behalf of our vendor by marque specialist, Tony Collins of Car and Classic Restorations in Herne Bay, this Mk1 RS2000 was known to be exceptionally original but needed restoration after years of slumbering in storage. In 2019, it began an absolutely no-compromise restoration, with the emphasis on creating a car as close to original-spec as is possible Using the car’s original parts and NOS components, when necessary, but never conceding on it being ‘just right’ – it was a real labour of love, with our vendor assisted by one of the foremost Ford experts/collectors in the UK The bodyshell was dipped and then expertly repaired where necessary, before being sent to a specialist e-coating company. The engine was sent to David Moore Engineering for a complete rebuild, again utilising all original parts where required and the gearbox and rear axle were sent to Copthorne Classics, where both were rebuilt, again with original componentry. The interior was expertly restored back to its former glory by Mark Webber of M&K Auto Upholstery The car was 90% complete by June 2024 when it was finished off and made ready for the road by Dave Brooks of DBRS and again by Copthorne Classics. The file contains dozens of photographs documenting every stage of its transformation with the quality of the work appearing quite exceptional One of the most exacting restorations we have ever seen and surely the best available. The investment of time, skill and money has been sizeable – the latter well exceeding £100,000. It's been a real dilemma for our vendor to ‘let it go’, but a change in circumstance has forced his hand; he would dearly love it to go to a fellow true Ford enthusiast, because he has loved the journey with this car and really wants someone to enjoy owning and driving it in years ahead 1973 Ford Escort Mk1 RS2000 Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS 2
First registration 04.1973 Swiss delivery Only two previous owners Matching numbers and color Swiss road registration The Ferrari Dino 246 GTS offered here was produced in 1972 in the color Rosso Chiaro and with a brown-beige interior and delivered in April 1973 by the then Ferrari dealer Hoch & Zumstein in Zurich to a customer in the Zurich area. In 1976, the car was sold by the first owner and was then, believe it or not, in second ownership for over 47 years, where it was always cherished and cared for. This beautiful Ferrari Dino 246 GTS is maching numbers and color, has a Massini report and is in unrestored, top-maintained and absolutely original collector’s condition with its original 67,500 kilometers. The on-board folder with all original documents such as the service/warranty booklet with the first owner’s entry from 1973, user and maintenance manual, spare parts catalog, etc. are available. The Dino 246 was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in spring 1969 as the successor to the Dino 206 GT, the first production car with a mid-engine produced by Ferrari. The designation “246” refers to the 2.4 liter displacement and the six cylinders of the engine. The name “Dino” comes from Enzo Ferrari’s son Alfredo “Alfredino”, known as “Dino”, who died young in 1956. The V6 engine he designed was used in Formula 1 and Formula 2 racing cars in the late 1950s and in production sports cars from the late 1960s onwards. 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS Lutziger Classic Cars AG If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1952 Jaguar C-type
This is XKC 028 and when new, was dispatched to Jaguar distributors Charles Hornburg in Los Angeles LA on 24th November 1952. Its early life primarily saw use as a road car; the merit of which shines through today as this example has remained unusually original. It did race, but not until 1981 in the hands of Joe Egle, a former Jaguar distributor in Kansas City, Missouri. After fitting seatbelts, as they were not a safety requirement for motorcars in period, 028 made its first public appearance at the Elkhart Lake Vintage Races and Concours. Whilst the car didn’t race, it did win first place in the concours. Its second outing at Road Atlanta however saw much greater success. Egle and his daughters entered the car at the Vintage Races and Concours run by the SVRA. Whilst they had not planned to race, they found they couldn’t enter the concours without doing so. In a borrowed race suit and helmet, Joe Egle dusted off his racing-skills and entered the car which had sat unused for the best part of fifteen years. He lapped every car on the grid except Bob O’Brien’s XK120 and won the race. In 1988, the C-type passed to Bob Baker and later, in 1995, to Arizona-based cardiologist Dr. Phillippe Reyens who would keep the car for 20 years. All these drivers used it in US historic racing events but without accident and without losing any significant original parts. 'XKC 028 is a particularly complete and correct C type, indeed I cannot think of a more original example. The condition is excellent and I believe it has had the most sensitive of restorations. I would particularly recommend it as a chance to see just how these cars looked on day one. Perhaps rather counter-intuitively, what is good about XKC 028 is that it actually did not race in period. This has saved it from the typical damage and crude modification that some cars suffered in racing at the time they were at their lowest value. It is absolutely a car to cherish and I would love to own it.'- Chris Keith-Lucas, CKL Developments Most recently this example has found residence in the United States once more, and is available to view by appointment only. 1952 Jaguar C-type D.K.

- 1987-ferrari-328-gts
It’s 1985. Ferrari unveils the successor to the beloved 308 – and does so with flair. The 328 is a carefully considered evolution: a car that strikes the perfect balance between classic lines and modern reliability. More power, increased displacement, a sharper chassis, and that same irresistible presence. The 328 is the final model in Ferrari’s transverse V8 generation to feature a five-speed manual gearbox – before the switch to fuel injection, paddle shifters, and electronic driver aids. Pure, unfiltered, and authentic. The 328 GTS was born in an era when the driver was still in full control. Every gear shift was a conscious decision. No filters, no electronics between you and the machine. Just you, a gated shifter, and the glorious roar of the 3.2-litre V8 behind you. Our 328? It’s one of a kind. Delivered new in the Netherlands by Kroymans Ferrari in Hilversum – the original dealer sticker still graces the rear bumper. Finished in iconic Rosso Corsa with a Tan leather interior – a combination to make any enthusiast’s heart race. Mileage? Just 111,800 km. Matching numbers and, of course, a manual gearbox. Driving it is an experience in itself: the click-clack of the metal shift gate, the eagerness of the V8 at higher revs, the way the steering tells you what the front wheels are thinking – this isn’t just driving, it’s how driving was meant to be. In a world full of turbos, screens, and driver assists – this is your escape. Your return to a time when a Ferrari felt like a living, breathing thing. Looking for an investment? An icon? Or simply the most beautiful 1980s Ferrari with Dutch heritage? This is your chance.

The original SALCHI paint sticker remains attached and the PininFarina body number “263” is found stamped on the hood, rear bonnet, and trunk floor.

The originality theme continues on the interior which remains in stunning condition with firm seat padding wrapped in excellent vinyl, well preserve carpeting/mats, and vinyl door panels. Perhaps the most impressive details are found in the engine bay which retains original clamps, wiring, and hardware including the Lucas equipment, SOLEX carburetor, airbox, I.P.R.A radiator and 8/60 dated ZF steering rack. The underside of the car remains intact with original undercoating and hardware.

- 1960-chevrolet-corvette-fuelie
This 1960 Chevrolet Corvette is finished in black over black vinyl and is powered by a fuel-injected 283ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Features include a white convertible top, 15? steel wheels, a push-button radio, an analog clock, and a dash-mounted rearview mirror. The car won a first place award from the Antique Automobile Club of America at the Annual Grand National Meet in 2003 along with preservation awards in 2000, 2003, and 2004. This C1 was acquired by the current owner in 2024 and is now offered on dealer consignment as part of Mohr Imports’ UpShift Collection with prior awards and a clean California title. The car is finished in black and exterior equipment includes a white soft top, quadruple headlights, fuel injection badging, split chrome bumpers, fender vents, and dual exhaust outlets. The 15? steel wheels feature spinner-style covers and are mounted with BFGoodrich Silvertown whitewall tires. The car came equipped from the factory with an independent front suspension and semi-elliptical rear leaf springs. The cabin features two bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl along with a color-coordinated dash pad, carpets, and door panels. Equipment includes lap belts, an analog clock, a push-button Wonder Bar radio, and a dash-mounted rearview mirror. The three-spoke steering wheel frames a sweeping 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer as well as gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, battery charge, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 46k miles, less than 500 of which were added under current ownership. The 283ci V8 features Rochester mechanical fuel injection and was factory rated at 250 horsepower. The stamping on the engine pad is shown above. The CR suffix is consistent with a 283ci V8 rated at 250 horsepower and designated for a 1960 Corvette with fuel injection and a manual transmission. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. 1960 Chevrolet Corvette 'Fuelie' Mohr Imports, Inc.

- 1995 Ferrari 512 M
With its characteristic design with elongated cooling inlets on the side interrupted by longitudinal bars and the wide tail, the Testarossa and its descendants polarize like few other Ferrari vehicles. Hardly anyone would have predicted in 1984 that this spectacular sports car would be built more or less unchanged for twelve years. In 1996, after around 8,000 units, the mid-engine was discontinued; the successor, called the 550 Maranello, had the twelve-cylinder installed at the front. This means that the Ferrari 512M - apart from the few super sports cars such as La Ferrari, Enzo, etc. - was the last 12-cylinder mid-engine sports car built by Ferrari that was produced in series. Let that sink in. The Ferrari Testarossa was presented at the Paris Motor Show in 1984. Its design took over many aspects from its predecessor, the 512 BBi, but improved on some. Visually, there were hardly any similarities between the 512 BBi and the Testarossa. The Ferrari, designed by Sergio Pininfarina and Leonardo Fioravanti, shaped sports car design until the 1990s. With a width of almost two meters, it set a new record and, together with a height of just 1.13 meters, it formed the basis for an extremely flat-looking car that looked fast even when standing still. The design of the side air intakes was based on the water coolers, which were positioned on the outside, similar to a Formula 1 car. With an original 390 hp, the power of the still five-liter engine had increased again, and the aerodynamically favorable Testarossa ran at almost 300 km/h. In 1991, the Testarossa became the 512 TR, now with 428 hp and a few retouches to the body. In 1992 the interior was modified, further changes seemed unnecessary. In 1994 Ferrari announced the “F 512 M”. The “M” stood for “Modificata” and the mid-engine sports car had indeed been “modified” in many ways. Titanium connecting rods, a lighter crankshaft and forged aluminum pistons made it possible to increase the power of the twelve-cylinder engine to 440 hp in combination with an optimized combustion chamber design and a compression ratio increased to 10.4:1 (despite running on 95 octane). The power transmission was also adapted to the needs of 1990s sports car buyers with new synchronizer rings and reinforced gears in the gearbox as well as adjustments to the clutch. The new model was immediately recognizable from the outside. The pop-up headlights had disappeared and were replaced by ellipsoid lamps under glass covers. This gave the 512 M a touch of F40 flair. The characteristic crossbars were missing at the rear and instead of the rectangular light units there were now four round lamps, like the BB. Wide, multi-part 18-inch rims and tires almost 30 cm wide (at the rear) filled the wheel arches. Inside, only a newly designed steering wheel indicated the "Modificata". The changes were combined with a welcome reduction in weight; the manufacturer stated the curb weight for the "dry" sports car to be 1,455 kg. The "Modificata" cost 332,000 DM in 1995, no small sum. Compared to its predecessors, however, with around 380 units produced, it remained extremely rare, which is why the last word on value quotations has probably not yet been spoken, despite the polarizing design adjustments that were not appreciated by all Testarossa fans. The 512 M definitely has a special status, because it was the last of its kind. The successor, the 550 Maranello, carried the even more powerful twelve-cylinder engine over the front wheels and was more of a Gran Turismo than a road-going racing car. The seating position is right, and the steering, which is much smoother and more precise than its predecessors, the Testarossa and 512TR, pleasantly supports the turning of the beautifully designed steering wheel. The all-round visibility is better than you might expect and the width of almost two meters no longer scares anyone in the age of Q7s and the like. Once you've started the engine, you'll think you're in seventh heaven. There should be a warning about the risk of addiction... The example we're offering is accident-free and has a flawless history of origin and maintenance. The work on this 512M was largely carried out by a single Ferrari dealer. The last major inspection with replacement of the timing belt was carried out in September 2022 at 58,800 km, i.e. around 350 km ago. In conjunction with our conscientious inspection, the overall visual impression and the truly complete, transparent history, we are firmly convinced that you will hardly find a technically better conditioned 512M on the market. The current situation makes it extremely difficult to find this rare model. 1995 Ferrari 512 M DLS Automobile If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1972 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona
What is it? It’s a Ferrari 365 GTB/4, the car you’ll more likely know as the ‘Daytona’. The absolute must-have luxury Grand Tourer in the 1960s and ’70s, the 4.4-litre Colombo V12-powered ‘Daytona’ is no shrinking violet when it comes to hiking up its skirt and getting a move on. Just ask the legendary American racing drivers Brock Yates and Dan Gurney, who, in 1971, famously drove a ‘Daytona’ 2,876 miles from New York City to California’s Redondo Beach in a record time of 35 hours and 54 minutes. That’s an average speed of 80.8mph! Could you tell us about this car’s history? Fitted from new with optional air-conditioning and a Voxson radio, this European-specification left-hand-drive Ferrari 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’ was delivered in 1972 to the Iranian embassy in Rome before being exported to Tehran, where it’s understood to have joined the Shah or Iran’s sizeable collection. We discovered some amazing photos of the car during its time in the Iranian capital, parked alongside its successor, the 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer. Chassis 16107 returned to Europe in the 1980s, winding up in the possession of a Parisian collector, before heading Stateside, where it was subsequently sold via Art Muller’s Southern Sports Cars of Miami to another France-based collector. The ‘Daytona’ was next seen at a 1998 Brooks auction in Gstaad, when Max, who was working for Brooks at the time, distinctly remembers it. "How could I forget? It's not every day you encounter a gold 'Daytona'!" Copies of the original Brooks vehicle entry form and catalogue description accompany this beautiful Ferrari, confirming that it displayed 30,880km on the clock at that time. An Italian collector acquired the Ferrari in the early 2000s, who exhibited it at the Incontri d’Arte Ferrari meeting in San Marino. The car was to remain in Italy until 2014, when it joined the 40 car-plus collection of a German enthusiast. During his ownership, 16107 was maintained regardless of cost by his in-house team of mechanics, including the fitment of new fuel tanks and lines. He also had the official Ferrari dealer Eberlein Automobile fit electric power steering, a reversible feature which transforms the driving experience. What makes this particular ‘Daytona’ so special today? Well, have you ever seen another ‘Daytona’ painted gold? In all seriousness, there are only 16 others finished in Oro Chiaro (that’s ‘light gold’ in the Queen’s) and we reckon the subtle shade accentuates the sultry Pininfarina-designed bodywork of the car very well, especially in combination with the five-spoke magnesium alloy wheels, which look a hell of a lot more modern than the Borrani wires. Its royal provenance as part of the Shah of Iran’s collection is also a great talking point – there can’t be many other ‘Daytona’ owners who can legitimately say their cars are genuinely fit for a king. Furthermore, in 2019 this ‘Daytona’ received the all-important Classiche certification from Ferrari, pertaining to the originality of its chassis, engine, gearbox, bodywork and exterior colour. The Classiche binder is accompanied by the car’s original owner’s manual, a period-correct tool kit and an expansive history file. All that was missing was an enthusiastic new owner prepared to give it the tender loving care it’s used to and willing to drive it with the gusto. Until now, that is. What’s it like to drive? You mean apart from making you feel like an oil-rich playboy prince? Simply put, it’s heavenly. The retrofitted (and entirely reversible) power steering makes the ‘Daytona’ feel like much less of a truck at manoeuvring speed, and during our day jaunt around central London, this example felt as tight as a drum. This reassurance leaves your mind free to properly enjoy what is one of the most intoxicating engines ever produced. The performance is astonishing, and we can only imagine what that must have felt like in 1972. Perhaps more impressive is how positively passers-by and fellow motorists treat you.

The absolute must-have luxury Grand Tourer in the 1960s and ’70s, the 4.4-litre Colombo V12-powered ‘Daytona’ is no shrinking violet when it comes to hiking up its skirt and getting a move on. Just ask the legendary American racing drivers Brock Yates and Dan Gurney, who, in 1971, famously drove a ‘Daytona’ 2,876 miles from New York City to California’s Redondo Beach in a record time of 35 hours and 54 minutes. That’s an average speed of 80.8mph! Could you tell us about this car’s history? Fitted from new with optional air-conditioning and a Voxson radio, this European-specification left-hand-drive Ferrari 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’ was delivered in 1972 to the Iranian embassy in Rome before being exported to Tehran, where it’s understood to have joined the Shah or Iran’s sizeable collection. We discovered some amazing photos of the car during its time in the Iranian capital, parked alongside its successor, the 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer. Chassis 16107 returned to Europe in the 1980s, winding up in the possession of a Parisian collector, before heading Stateside, where it was subsequently sold via Art Muller’s Southern Sports Cars of Miami to another France-based collector. The ‘Daytona’ was next seen at a 1998 Brooks auction in Gstaad, when Max, who was working for Brooks at the time, distinctly remembers it. "How could I forget? It's not every day you encounter a gold 'Daytona'!" Copies of the original Brooks vehicle entry form and catalogue description accompany this beautiful Ferrari, confirming that it displayed 30,880km on the clock at that time. An Italian collector acquired the Ferrari in the early 2000s, who exhibited it at the Incontri d’Arte Ferrari meeting in San Marino. The car was to remain in Italy until 2014, when it joined the 40 car-plus collection of a German enthusiast. During his ownership, 16107 was maintained regardless of cost by his in-house team of mechanics, including the fitment of new fuel tanks and lines. He also had the official Ferrari dealer Eberlein Automobile fit electric power steering, a reversible feature which transforms the driving experience. What makes this particular ‘Daytona’ so special today? Well, have you ever seen another ‘Daytona’ painted gold? In all seriousness, there are only 16 others finished in Oro Chiaro (that’s ‘light gold’ in the Queen’s) and we reckon the subtle shade accentuates the sultry Pininfarina-designed bodywork of the car very well, especially in combination with the five-spoke magnesium alloy wheels, which look a hell of a lot more modern than the Borrani wires.

- 1957 Jaguar D-Type Recreation by Lynx
The Jaguar D-Type was a sports racing car produced between 1954 and 1957 with one goal in mind: to win the Le Mans 24-hour race. It used the same straight-6 XK engine and many mechanical components as the previous C-Type but employed an innovative monocoque construction and state-of-the-art aerodynamics. A fin was eventually mounted behind the driver for aerodynamic stability for the long Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans while the nose was elongated during the 1955 season for an even higher max speed. Engine displacement was originally 3.4 L, was enlarged to 3.8 L in 1957, and reduced to 3.0 L in 1958 when Le Mans rules limited engine displacements for sports racing cars. D-Types won Le Mans in 1955, 1956, and 1957 with only 71 examples produced plus an additional 16 that were converted to road-going XKSS versions. Due to its rarity and pedigree, real D-Types are extremely scarce and demand a premium when they do hit the market. A “good” condition example sold at the Monterey R.M. Sotheby auction in August 2023 for $3,600,000, while an “excellent” condition example reached a $7,250,000 high bid at Broad Arrow Auctions in October 2022. As is often the case with unicorns like this, companies will begin producing high-end reproductions that replicate the look and feel of the original as closely as possible. Lynx Engineering is one such company. The company was founded in 1968 by engineer Guy Black and architect Roger Ludgate as a repair and restoration shop for original Jaguar C- and D-Types. In 1972, they began developing their own D-Type replica with hand-formed aluminum bodywork and mechanicals from the Jaguar E-Type. The body was a monocoque tub created by Lynx themselves with a modified E-Type subframe and both short and long-nose configurations. A total of 53 examples of the Lynx D-Type were built. This particular example, Chassis # 1E78735BW, is one such D-Type long-nose recreation built by Lynx Cars Limited. The car was apparently commissioned by former UK Jaguar club president Jerry Stampler, who used it in several vintage races before former sports car racer Herb Wetanson acquired it through Lynx some 20 years ago. The car is finished in white with blue stripes over a matching blue leather interior. It is powered by a 3.8-liter XK inline-six with triple Weber carburetors, a four-speed manual transmission, dual-circuit four-wheel disc brakes, independent suspension, Dunlop-style aluminum peg-drive wheels, a tail fin, an optional wraparound windshield, an aluminum tonneau cover, and four-point harnesses. One detail that sets this Lynx recreation apart from the original D-Type is the use of a wet-sump engine rather than a dry-sump engine. As it sits, this is the closest we regular enthusiasts will get to a real D-Type. Everything from the looks to the mechanicals feels right on point for a British race car of the period. Those looking for a rare machine to impress your local British cars and coffee or the lawn at any Concours will not go wrong with this Lynx. Upon purchase, the new owner will receive the original tool kit and a New York registration listing it as a 1967 Jaguar convertible. EXTERIOR Body And Paint The paint is not perfect but does not warrant any attention in that it has a very consistent look and finish throughout. Enough minor blemishes are present in such a way to to call them patina in a way that matches the ora of a race car that has seen track time. Just enough that this contributes to a sort of “real” look. The only other item worth noting is that the nose has seen some minor accident damage at some point and was repaired as is evident by the trained eye looking over this area. It should be noted that this does not appear to have been structural and that any damage was likely the result of track use, rubbing or bumping during spirited competition. The body is otherwise straight, shows beautifully and needs nothing. Glass And Trim The wraparound plastic composite windscreen, an option on the Lynx D-Type, is in good overall condition for the age. There are signs of age and the passenger bottom corner shows heavier scratching. It is otherwise clear and does not need attention. All of the trim, emblems, stickers and other period-esque features are present and reminiscent of the original. All of the lighting, bezels and rubber items are in excellent but not perfect condition. If anything there is enough aging on some items to again help it present as a genuine original - though it is not. Wheels The wheels are correct Dunlop Racing recreations and are in excellent condition, again with a bit of aging in just the right way as can be seen on the stickers, finish, and knock offs. Notable Flaws Please reference the photos for closeups of any blemishes, of which are present on each panel. INTERIOR Seats And Surfaces The spartan race car interior mimics the original to a very high level including gauges, wire routing, fuse boxes, steering wheel and the overall configuration and appearance. The seats show slight age as do the various painted aluminum surfaces. Which have consistent points of wear and light scratching in high use areas. Functionality And Accessories The limited number of gauges, pulls, switches and lighting are all in correct working order. ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK Engine Bay The engine bay shows well considering the level of use this example has seen. It is tidy, clean and shows to have been regularly serviced by inspecting various filters, clamps, hoses and the overall condition of various elements. There are no signs of accident damage or previous issues. The wet sump XK unit with its carefully routed spark plug wires, 3 weber carburetors, mock dry sump oil reservoir and ubiquitous exhaust manifold/headers sets off the look when the bonnet is open. Trunk Area The trunk area is limited to the period LeMans regulation: a matching spare, jack and toolkit. Underside The underside is clean overall with some light corrosion that can be seen on some suspension items but is otherwise reminiscent of a well serviced example. No obvious damage is present and overall it is flat and straight. MECHANICALS Engine The engine starts easily, runs strong, building good oil pressure even when hot. The temperature remains in the acceptable range and otherwise there is no stumbling, loss of powers, smoking or knocking of any kind. A stout engine that has recently benefited from a proper service and given a clean bill of health. The strong running condition and power delivery leads us to believe this engine is built beyond stock XK specs. Transmission The transmission functions as intended, is strong with good synchros and a good clutch that has recently received new hydraulics that is in proper working order. Brakes And Suspension The brakes and suspension were recently tended to with any items requiring attention for performance and safety addressed. No outstanding issues are present as of post-service testing Tires The tires are newly installed Dunlop Racing CR48 6.00L 16 in the front and Dunlop Racing CR48 6.50L 16 in the rear. All with 2022 Date Codes. DRIVING EXPERIENCE To honestly describe the driving impressions of a vehicle such as this would require a race track. Since this is not a road legal vehicle we cannot suggest its use or performance capability in an off track environment. However, we can say that in our brief use this car runs strong and feels extremely capable, focused and will no doubt provide an exhilarating experience for the next owner. We have to imagine that “the real thing” is not much different, and at a fraction of the price this D-Type recreation offers exceptional value - one certainly couldn’t reproduce this level of craftsmanship and accuracy today at the price offered. 1957 Jaguar D-Type Recreation by Lynx LBI Limited If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1942-alfa-romeo-6c-2500-sport-1
How often do you come across an Alfa Romeo that isn’t just rare, but likely one of a kind? This 6C 2500 Sport Cabriolet by Carrozzeria Touring is one of just five known to have been built with this particular open body style, inspired by the Torpedino Brescia line. And among them, this example is particular not just for its rarity, but for its intact matching-numbers drivetrain, rich documentation, and high-quality restoration carried out with restraint and care. This chassis 915128 was build on June 16th, 1942 and delivered on April 15th, 1943, reportedly to General Von Carnap, a Wehrmacht officer who acquired several 6C chassis during the war. It seems the car was used by senior German military officials before being left behind at the end of the conflict. By the 1960s, it had resurfaced in Texas, and by 1989, it was acquired by California collector Paul Myers, who commissioned a full restoration from Phil Reilly & Co., with bodywork carried out by Moal Coachworks: both renowned for top-level concours preparation. The car earned multiple concours awards, including Best in Class at the Greenwich Concours, Most Elegant Sports Car at Amelia Island, and a CCCA National First Prize. It was also displayed at “The Candy Store,” a private collector’s clubhouse in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2013, the car returned to Europe, where the new owner brought it back closer to factory specification. It was repainted in its correct dark blue, retrimmed in beige leather, with matching carpets and headliner, and fitted with a new green-grey mohair soft top. The dashboard was repainted in body color, just as it would have left the factory, and the chrome and aluminum trim was refurbished. All glass and seals were replaced, and a discreet battery cut-off switch is the only non-original visible element. Mechanically, the car runs its matching-numbers 2.5L inline-six (engine no. S923928), mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox. The correct Weber 36 DCR carburetor is present. The suspension and braking systems were overhauled, the exhaust replaced, and the engine bay presents cleanly, consistent with a well-documented restoration. The electrics were fully rewired to period-correct spec, and all original instruments and switches are present and working. No modern seatbelts have been added, staying true to the original delivery spec. The car rides on silver-painted wire wheels fitted with Michelin 6.00/6.50 x 18 tyres, all in excellent condition. Panel fit is tidy, the paint shows depth and quality, and the overall presentation is elegant and unforced. The car has now 1345 km on the clock, after its restauration. The car now resides in the Netherlands, having been recently imported, and is ready for road registration. It comes with a U.S. title, a partial international history file, and remains fully matching numbers. 1942 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport AD Sportscars 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 How often do you come across an Alfa Romeo that isn’t just rare, but likely one of a kind? This 6C 2500 Sport Cabriolet by Carrozzeria Touring is one of just five known to have been built with this particular open body style, inspired by the Torpedino Brescia line. And among them, this example is particular not just for its rarity, but for its intact matching-numbers drivetrain, rich documentation, and high-quality restoration carried out with restraint and care. This chassis 915128 was build on June 16th, 1942 and delivered on April 15th, 1943, reportedly to General Von Carnap, a Wehrmacht officer who acquired several 6C chassis during the war. It seems the car was used by senior German military officials before being left behind at the end of the conflict. By the 1960s, it had resurfaced in Texas, and by 1989, it was acquired by California collector Paul Myers, who commissioned a full restoration from Phil Reilly & Co., with bodywork carried out by Moal Coachworks: both renowned for top-level concours preparation. The car earned multiple concours awards, including Best in Class at the Greenwich Concours, Most Elegant Sports Car at Amelia Island, and a CCCA National First Prize. It was also displayed at “The Candy Store,” a private collector’s clubhouse in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2013, the car returned to Europe, where the new owner brought it back closer to factory specification. It was repainted in its correct dark blue, retrimmed in beige leather, with matching carpets and headliner, and fitted with a new green-grey mohair soft top. The dashboard was repainted in body color, just as it would have left the factory, and the chrome and aluminum trim was refurbished. All glass and seals were replaced, and a discreet battery cut-off switch is the only non-original visible element. Mechanically, the car runs its matching-numbers 2.5L inline-six (engine no. S923928), mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox. The correct Weber 36 DCR carburetor is present. The suspension and braking systems were overhauled, the exhaust replaced, and the engine bay presents cleanly, consistent with a well-documented restoration. The electrics were fully rewired to period-correct spec, and all original instruments and switches are present and working. No modern seatbelts have been added, staying true to the original delivery spec. The car rides on silver-painted wire wheels fitted with Michelin 6.00/6.50 x 18 tyres, all in excellent condition. Panel fit is tidy, the paint shows depth and quality, and the overall presentation is elegant and unforced. The car has now 1345 km on the clock, after its restauration. The car now resides in the Netherlands, having been recently imported, and is ready for road registration. It comes with a U.S. title, a partial international history file, and remains fully matching numbers.

- 1957 BMW 503 Series I Convertible
Produced from 1956 to 1962, the BMW 503 made its debut alongside the BMW 507 at the 1955 Frankfurt Motor Show. It received an update in 1957, with the earlier cars referred to as Series I and the later cars Series II; the former were distinguished by a column gear shift, hydraulic window lifts, and for the convertible, a hydraulic-operated hood. All were powered by a 3.2-litre V-8 engine that the factory rated at 140 horsepower. Manufactured on 7 December 1956, this BMW 503 Series I Cabriolet was one of just 78 such examples constructed. Rolling off the factory floor with Steingrau paintwork and Red upholstery, chassis 69091 was sent to Hoffman Motors in New York and arrived on 14 January 1957. Thought to be one of 13 units of the first series BMW 503 Convertible sold new to the USA, this 503 was delivered to its first owner, Fred B. Phillips, in Topanga, California. Mr. Phillips retained the BMW for 25 years, before parting ways with the car and selling it to the second owner, Franz von Uckermann, on 10 December 1982, trading for $2,400. Taking the car to San Francisco at some point, Mr. Uckermann had the 503 repainted in a metallic deep red. He held onto this BMW until 2017, at which point it was acquired by its most recent owner. The car still had its metallic red paintwork and had been in dry storage for a number of years. However, the car’s condition was commensurate of its years spent in the Californian sun. Now with the third and current owner, chassis 69091 was shipped to the Netherlands, where a nut-and-bolt restoration was commissioned. The work was carried out by Hoffes Restorations and EBS Engineering in the Netherlands, with invoices on file showing that from October 2018 to July 2023 more than €125,000 was spent. The car is accompanied by these invoices, a previous US title, and notes from the 1982 sale to Mr. Uckermann. At the point of restoration, the bodywork was painted in BMW Fjord Blue and complemented by a Blue Sonnenland convertible hood with Cognac upholstery. Not one part of the car was left untouched, with the final result truly stunning. Upon inspection BMW Classic has confirmed the engine number is matching. The offering of this incredible 1950s BMW presents a wonderful opportunity to acquire an excruciatingly rare 503 Convertible that has just three owners from new. 1957 BMW 503 Series I Convertible RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
