  • 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.

  • 1960 Ferrari 400 Superamerica SWB

    Ferrari’s Superamerica models of the late 1950s and early 1960s were truly the last word in sporting excellence. Offering the very best money could buy in terms of luxury and performance, its no surprise that these cars often found their way into the garages of heads of state, barons of industry, and other well-to-do individuals. Succeeding the 410 Superamerica, the 400 Superamerica offered numerous improvements over its predecessor. While the engine decreased in displacement from 5.0-litres to 4.0-litres, several other new features countered this. The 5.0-litre V-12 was a “long-block” Lampredi-designed unit, while the revised smaller engine was based on the Colombo single overhead-camshaft powertrain that was first utilised in the 250 Europa GT. To increase the capacity from 3.0-litres, the bore was enlarged to 77 millimetres and the stroke was lengthened to 71 millimeters, providing a total capacity of 3,967 cubic centimetres. Furthermore, a twin-coil and distributor ignition system was utilised, along with triple-Weber carburetors, granting the engine an improved 340 horsepower, but also an incredible 400 Nm (295 ft.lb) from 2.000 rpm and a maximum torque 450 Nm (331 ft.lb) at 6.000 rpm. As a result, these cars are considered today among the best driving of 1960s Ferraris. Boasting 25 per cent greater engine capacity than a 250 GT Berlinetta or California Spider, the 400 Superamerica produces far more horsepower and torque than either of its forebears. The 400 Superamerica was also fitted with an overdrive as standard—while no overdrive was available for the 250 GT models apart from the GTE—making it far more comfortable to drive over long distances. Finally, it is important to remember that the 400 Superamerica’s chassis and powertrain was so great that it provided the basis for the 330 LMB and 330 TRi racing cars, of which the 330 TRi LM won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1962. The 400 Superamerica production run can be divided into two groups, based on either long- or short-wheelbase chassis. The first batch of cars produced—of which includes the car on offer here, chassis 1945 SA—boasted a 2,420 millimetre chassis, while the second batch boasts the longer 2,600 millimetre chassis. Of the short-wheelbase cars, just 25 examples were produced, with only seven bodied as cabriolets. Chassis number 1945 SA was built in mid-1960 as the third of those seven short-wheelbase cabriolets, and this example was built to left-hand-drive configuration with open headlamps. It was finished in a beautiful, albeit unusual, colour combination of Verde Bottiglia (MM 16364) over Rosso (VM 3171). It was fitted since new with a set of three Weber 46 DCF, like on a 250 SWB “Sefac Hot Rod”, and a pair of Bosch ignition distributors. The coachwork was completed by Pinin Farina in July of 1960 and was sold new to Helmut Horton, a German entrepreneur based in Croglio, Switzerland. In January of the following year, the car was registered in Milan under Horten Italiana S.r.l, and it remained in Italy for the following three years under Horton’s ownership. The Superamerica then passed to a Mr. Warzits in Germany sometime thereafter and was believed to have been exported to the United States for a brief period. However, by 1985, the car had returned to Europe and was then painted white. At this time, it was acquired by Bernard Pfister of Geneva, Switzerland. Pfister repainted the car red in 1989 and it remained in Switzerland with him for the next few years and was displayed at Ferrari Suisse SA in Nyon. In June of 1997, 1945 SA was listed for sale in Marseille, France and was purchased one month later by Scott Rosen of Bedford Hills, New York. Subsequently exported to the US, the car remained in his ownership for two years before being purchased by the late noted sports car enthusiast Oscar Davis of Elizabeth, New Jersey. One year later, Davis sold the Superamerica to a Florida-based collector, yet the car would stay in northern New Jersey for the time being, as it was entrusted to Classic Coach for a full restoration. Founded in 1972 and well known and regarded in Ferrari circles in the US, Classic Coach was Ferrari’s first authorised bodywork repair facility in the US. Their owners would later open two authorised Ferrari dealerships in the US: Ferrari of Central Florida and Ferrari of Tampa Bay. It was decided that chassis 1945 SA would be returned to its original colour combination of Verde Bottiglia over Rosso during this complete, frame-off restoration. No cost was spared to restore the Superamerica back to a spectacular standard. Following the completion of the restoration work, the car was shipped to noted Ferrari specialist Greg Jones of Stuart, Florida. Jones was entrusted with further dialing in the car mechanically, ensuring that every facet of the car worked perfectly. Receipts for the work completed by both Classic Coach and Greg Jones remain in the car’s history file. Remaining with that owner until 2015, the car was sold via RM Sotheby’s to its current owner, a Monaco-based enthusiast, who returned the car to Europe to a discerning collector who happen to do business in the past with the first owner. With him, the car has been used and enjoyed as its manufacturer would have intended. Seen occasionally driving around the streets of Monaco, the car has been shown once at Elégance et Automobile à Monte-Carlo in 2019. It has been granted Ferrari Classiche certification, confirming that it retains its original body, chassis, transmission and rear axle and that the original crank case was changed by Ferrari in November of 1963, which still remains fitted to the car today. With its current owner, the car has been very well maintained by Autofficina Omega of Corrado Patella, including further mechanical work to ensure it drives and performs as one would expect. Its most recent service work with them was the fitment of a new clutch in February 2020. The car still presents in excellent condition throughout and would surely be welcome with open arms to any major concours event worldwide. Well maintained and enjoyed with current owner, it could easily be used on the road as a warm-weather weekend driver. Regardless of whether it is to be enjoyed on the open road or the concours lawn, it will certainly be a joy to own and will attract only the most favorable of compliments wherever it goes. 1960 Ferrari 400 Superamerica SWB RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Chassis number 1945 SA was built in mid-1960 as the third of those seven short-wheelbase cabriolets, and this example was built to left-hand-drive configuration with open headlamps. It was finished in a beautiful, albeit unusual, colour combination of Verde Bottiglia (MM 16364) over Rosso (VM 3171). It was fitted since new with a set of three Weber 46 DCF, like on a 250 SWB “Sefac Hot Rod”, and a pair of Bosch ignition distributors. The coachwork was completed by Pinin Farina in July of 1960 and was sold new to Helmut Horton, a German entrepreneur based in Croglio, Switzerland. In January of the following year, the car was registered in Milan under Horten Italiana S.r.l, and it remained in Italy for the following three years under Horton’s ownership. The Superamerica then passed to a Mr. Warzits in Germany sometime thereafter and was believed to have been exported to the United States for a brief period. However, by 1985, the car had returned to Europe and was then painted white. At this time, it was acquired by Bernard Pfister of Geneva, Switzerland. Pfister repainted the car red in 1989 and it remained in Switzerland with him for the next few years and was displayed at Ferrari Suisse SA in Nyon. In June of 1997, 1945 SA was listed for sale in Marseille, France and was purchased one month later by Scott Rosen of Bedford Hills, New York. Subsequently exported to the US, the car remained in his ownership for two years before being purchased by the late noted sports car enthusiast Oscar Davis of Elizabeth, New Jersey. One year later, Davis sold the Superamerica to a Florida-based collector, yet the car would stay in northern New Jersey for the time being, as it was entrusted to Classic Coach for a full restoration. Founded in 1972 and well known and regarded in Ferrari circles in the US, Classic Coach was Ferrari’s first authorised bodywork repair facility in the US. Their owners would later open two authorised Ferrari dealerships in the US: Ferrari of Central Florida and Ferrari of Tampa Bay. It was decided that chassis 1945 SA would be returned to its original colour combination of Verde Bottiglia over Rosso during this complete, frame-off restoration. No cost was spared to restore the Superamerica back to a spectacular standard. Following the completion of the restoration work, the car was shipped to noted Ferrari specialist Greg Jones of Stuart, Florida. Jones was entrusted with further dialing in the car mechanically, ensuring that every facet of the car worked perfectly. Receipts for the work completed by both Classic Coach and Greg Jones remain in the car’s history file. Remaining with that owner until 2015, the car was sold via RM Sotheby’s to its current owner, a Monaco-based enthusiast, who returned the car to Europe to a discerning collector who happen to do business in the past with the first owner. With him, the car has been used and enjoyed as its manufacturer would have intended. Seen occasionally driving around the streets of Monaco, the car has been shown once at Elégance et Automobile à Monte-Carlo in 2019. It has been granted Ferrari Classiche certification, confirming that it retains its original body, chassis, transmission and rear axle and that the original crank case was changed by Ferrari in November of 1963, which still remains fitted to the car today. With its current owner, the car has been very well maintained by Autofficina Omega of Corrado Patella, including further mechanical work to ensure it drives and performs as one would expect. Its most recent service work with them was the fitment of a new clutch in February 2020. The car still presents in excellent condition throughout and would surely be welcome with open arms to any major concours event worldwide. Well maintained and enjoyed with current owner, it could easily be used on the road as a warm-weather weekend driver. Regardless of whether it is to be enjoyed on the open road or the concours lawn, it will certainly be a joy to own and will attract only the most favorable of compliments wherever it goes.

  • 1977-ferrari-dino-208-gt4

    The Dino 308 GT/4, presented in 1973, was the first series built Ferrari equipped with a 8-cylinder engine. Before that, Ferrari used exclusively 6- and 12-cylinder engines. The robust and very revvy little engine was used in a variety of models for many years. In November 1974, the 208 GT/4 was presented, with the smallest V8 engine then available from any brand. This model was initially sold only in Italy to avoid heavy taxes for cars with more than two litres engine capacity. Only 840 examples of the type were built between 1974 and 1980. The early history of the coupé offered is not known. The Dino was taken over by an enthusiast in 2014 who, over the following two years, had the car restored and overhauled. In 2018 the Ferrari was eventually imported into and registered in Switzerland. In March 2020, the little sportster was taken over by the vendor who has since covered only 2’000 kilometres with it. Now this rare Ferrari is in good to very good condition and will be sold with the last Veteran MOT from August 2024. 1977 Ferrari Dino 208 GT/4 Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1993 BMW E36 318i Super Touring

    The BMW E36 318i The phrase ‘race of Sunday, sell on Monday’ might have been coined in the endurance racing world, but nowhere has it rung truer than in touring cars. In the 1980s and ’90s, especially, saloons more commonly seen traversing the motorways of the world ferrying businessmen from boardroom to boardroom were stripped, stickered up and sent into battle on the racetrack, driven by steely drivers who gave each other zero quarter. The resulting racing could only be described as door to door – and if feuds weren’t settled in the cars, then they were often concluded out of them! A marque woven into the very fabric of touring car racing is BMW. From the Capri-killing 3.0 CSL ‘Batmobile’ to the legendary box-arched E30-generation M3, for example, which is the German marque’s most successful model of them all. Needless to say, the E30 M3 left big shoes to fill when regulation changes left it obsolete from most touring car championships in the early 1990s. Enter the BMW E36 318i. Boasting a two-litre version of the E30’s bulletproof two-litre S14 engine and thus adhering to the FIA’s new Super Touring framework of rules, the 318i more closely resembled the production 3 Series in the showrooms. It proved quick – very quick – winning a plethora of domestic touring car championships around the world. “In the 1980s and ’90s, saloons more commonly seen traversing the motorways of the world ferrying businessmen from boardroom to boardroom were stripped, stickered up and sent into battle on the racetrack, driven by steely drivers who gave each other zero quarter.” The car we’re thrilled to be offering is chassis number E36A-033, which was the very first Super Touring Class 2-specification 318i, built as a factory BMW Motorsport entrant in the 1993 British Touring Car Championship. In 1992, the BMW of Great Britain satellite team had represented the Munich marque in the BTCC. But as BMW itself withdrew from the DTM in Germany at the end of 1992, it instead sanctioned a full Works assault at the British series for 1993, operated by its trusted outfit Schnitzer Motorsport. As Schnitzer was otherwise engaged campaigning the older E30 M3s for the Works at the end of 1992, the construction of this car was instead entrusted to Valier Motorsport. As with all the cars destined to be run by Schnitzer, the inside of this 318i – including the roll cage – was painted all in red. However, for the subsequent chassis, BMW stipulated that the interiors be painted factory white. E36A-033’s first on-track duties came in the form of three test days – two at Monza in February of 19933 and one at Silverstone in March. The car was driven by the factory BMW Motorsport drivers who’d been assigned to race the 318is in that year’s BTCC: Steve Soper and ‘Smoking Jo’ Winkelhock. On 15 March, this BMW starred prominently in the official press day for the BTCC, driven once again by Soper and Winkelhock. Nineteen ninety-three was a big year for the series. A title sponsor had been found in the shape of Auto Trader. No fewer than 20 manufacturer-backed cars were due to battle it out. The crop of drivers was the best it had ever been. And all 17 rounds were going to be broadcast on BBC’s Grandstand programme, with commentary from the legendary Murray Walker. After two further test days at Silverstone and Snetterton, this BMW’s maiden competitive outing came at the opening round of the BTCC at Silverstone on 27–28 March. E36A-033 was adorned with the race number six and assigned to Steve Soper. In their first weekend representing the Works on British soil in a British championship, Schnitzer Motorsport was the class of the field. The brace of BMWs proved unstoppable, Soper clinching pole position and outright victory with this very 318i ahead of Winkelhock in the sister car. “Those that should have challenged drivers Steve Soper and Joachim Winkelhock were simply less ready than the BMW organisation,” reported Autosport magazine. “The Britons will simply have to raise their game to see off the Germans this year.” “In their first weekend representing the Works on British soil in a British championship, Schnitzer Motorsport was the class of the field, Soper clinching pole position and outright victory with this very 318i.” The next round of the BTCC at Donington assumed an elevated status in the paddock as it served as a support race for the 1993 SEGA European Grand Prix – yes, the race in which Ayrton Senna made everyone else look like they were standing still in what were truly biblical conditions. Soper once again took the helm of E36A-033, picking up where he left off at Silverstone with an impressive pole position. On Sunday, the wet-weather Michelin tyres fitted to the Renault 19s of Tim Harvey and Alain Menu gifted the French team a spectacular and unexpected one-two victory. Soper’s deft display of driving in the frankly atrocious conditions resulted in a third-place finish and this BMW’s second podium in as many outings. For the remainder of the 1993 season, this BMW 318i served as a spare car for the BMW Motorsport Team and did not race. Suffice to say, BMW dominated the BTCC, clinching the Manufacturers’ Championship by over 50 points. The Driver’s title, meanwhile, was secured by Winkelhock. At the TOCA awards dinner on 25 September, E36A-033 was proudly displayed at the venue with the newly crowned champion’s name on the rear side windows. By no means were this BMW’s duties over for the year, however. In September, the first ever FIA Touring Car World Cup was held at Monza. The premise was simple: to pitch the finest touring car drivers from around the world against each other in a bid to determine which country boasts the richest talent. This BMW was entered once again by the Works, though driven by Thierry Tassin, who was one of four drivers representing Belgium. After two races that were as chaotic and spectacular as you would imagine, Tassin finished 34th and 32nd. For its next outing in November, E36A-033 made the cross-continental journey to Macau on the south coast of China. The Guia Race of Macau was a prestigious event touring car event run annually since 1963. In 1993, the race was run to the German DTM regulations and Schnitzer Motorsport (again, representing the Works) fielded two BMW 318is. This car was one of them and driven by the young Italian driver Emanuele Pirro, who’d famously go on to become one of the most successful sports car racers of all time with five Le Mans victories. On the narrow streets of Macau, Pirro drove an excellent and mature race despite suffering a puncture midway through, finishing third overall and second in the two-litre class. “A race-winning ex-Works BMW Motorsport Team car which played an integral role in securing BMW the 1993 British Touring Car Championship, this 318i is a wonderful embodiment of the glorious and fondly-remembered Super Touring era.” Java in Indonesia was this BMW’s next destination. In December of 1993, an invitational touring car race was staged on the newly opened Sentul International Circuit. The final outing for E36A-033 under the Works BMW Motorsport banner, the car was driven once again by Pirro, who won the race in fine fashion. Following the race at Sentul, this BMW 318i was sold to Team Taisan in Japan and refinished in black with red Valvoline sponsorship – a combination that worked very well on this particular car given its all-red interior. In 1994, E36A-033 contested the All Japan Touring Car Championship in the hands of Kazuo Mogi. After the season had concluded, this BMW was carefully tucked away into storage, where it remained until 2020, when Girardo & Co. acquired the car and arranged for it to be returned to England. We promptly delivered this BMW to BBM Sport Motorsport Engineering, one of the world’s leading historic racing car preparation companies, for a sympathetic overhaul. Totalling over £55,000, the extensive works included a full strip of the bodyshell and exterior repaint in the factory BMW Motorsport Team white, complete with the 1993 Steve Soper BTCC livery. The straight-four engine was stripped, thoroughly inspected and rebuilt, likewise the transmission and driveshafts. The pneumatic airjack system was refurbished, while the entire braking system was overhauled. The suspension and steering rack received the same treatment and the wheels were refurbished. Finally, new tyres were fitted. It’s important to note that during the recommissioning, BBM did not touch the original factory red paint inside the car, as evidenced by the original scrutineering stickers attached to the roll cage. Finally, we commissioned a full report from Schnitzer Motorsport, the outfit which ran this 318i on behalf of the factory, in order to authenticate the car’s period competition history and its originality today. The 12-page report is utterly fascinating, with period hand-written lap charts and event itineraries complete with notes from Schnitzer Motorsport’s chief Charly Lamm. We sold the car to its current Italian owner in 2021, since when it has been carefully stored and only used on a handful of occasions. A race-winning ex-Works BMW Motorsport Team car which played an integral role in securing BMW the 1993 British Touring Car Championship, this 318i is a wonderful embodiment of the glorious and fondly-remembered Super Touring era. What’s more, it was driven by Steve Soper and Emanuele Pirro, two of the greatest touring car drivers of all time. E36A-033’s subsequent international competition career, 26-year storage period and recent recommissioning are all fantastic strings to its bow. This is a car which needs to be enjoyed and shared with the world once again. 1993 BMW E36 318i Super Touring Girardo & Co.

We promptly delivered this BMW to BBM Sport Motorsport Engineering, one of the world’s leading historic racing car preparation companies, for a sympathetic overhaul. Totalling over £55,000, the extensive works included a full strip of the bodyshell and exterior repaint in the factory BMW Motorsport Team white, complete with the 1993 Steve Soper BTCC livery. The straight-four engine was stripped, thoroughly inspected and rebuilt, likewise the transmission and driveshafts. The pneumatic airjack system was refurbished, while the entire braking system was overhauled. The suspension and steering rack received the same treatment and the wheels were refurbished. Finally, new tyres were fitted. It’s important to note that during the recommissioning, BBM did not touch the original factory red paint inside the car, as evidenced by the original scrutineering stickers attached to the roll cage. Finally, we commissioned a full report from Schnitzer Motorsport, the outfit which ran this 318i on behalf of the factory, in order to authenticate the car’s period competition history and its originality today. The 12-page report is utterly fascinating, with period hand-written lap charts and event itineraries complete with notes from Schnitzer Motorsport’s chief Charly Lamm. We sold the car to its current Italian owner in 2021, since when it has been carefully stored and only used on a handful of occasions. A race-winning ex-Works BMW Motorsport Team car which played an integral role in securing BMW the 1993 British Touring Car Championship, this 318i is a wonderful embodiment of the glorious and fondly-remembered Super Touring era. What’s more, it was driven by Steve Soper and Emanuele Pirro, two of the greatest touring car drivers of all time. E36A-033’s subsequent international competition career, 26-year storage period and recent recommissioning are all fantastic strings to its bow. This is a car which needs to be enjoyed and shared with the world once again. Other Cars from Girardo & Co.

  • 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera 1

    Built in March of 1996, this 993 Carrera Cabriolet is a particularly special example that was delivered new to Stuttgart in May of 1996 before being shipped to California, where it lived for almost 20 years. This Carrera has numerous special features, but the most notable is the stunning Forest Green Metallic Paint to Sample- ordered at a time when the PTS program was not commonplace. Under the current ownership, this Carrera was updated with new European bumpers, and the speedometer and odometer have been converted from miles to kilometers, with the odometer showing 125,110 km. Fitted with 17” Cup wheels and Porsche Crest wheel caps, this car is in absolutely stunning condition throughout. The interior is wrapped in Cashmere Supple leather, which perfectly complements the dark green on the exterior. It is also fitted with the rarely seen but very desirable Aluminum dial faces- these add some visual interest to the interior but look much higher quality than adding red or yellow faces to the gauges. These aluminum accents are paired with brushed stainless Carrera sill plates, an aluminum shift knob, and hand brake lever. The driver and passenger both get power-adjustable seats with heating, but the driver’s seat is also fitted with power lumbar adjustment for added comfort on long drives. Powering the 993 Carrera is a 3.6-liter M64 Flat-6 engine that produces 272 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque and loves to pull hard all the way to the 7,000 rpm redline. 1996 was the first year of the VarioRam system on the 993, which features variable length intake runners and is designed to optimize both low-down torque and high RPM power. The implementation of this system resulted in an increase of 14 horsepower and 10 lb-ft of torque. In this Carrera, the engine has been freshly serviced and is ready to be driven. This engine is paired with a 6-speed manual Getrag gearbox with Porsche’s famous floor-hinged pedals. Power is then sent to the rear wheels through an optional limited-slip differential- a crucial option in any 993. With this 993’s multiple trips back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean, it is safe to say that it has quite a story to tell. The original owner clearly knew what they were doing during ordering and produced a one-of-a-kind 993, in a classic specification that appeals to both the driving enthusiast and someone looking for a convertible to cruise around in. 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1983 Ferrari 512 BBi

    First delivered by Sportgarage Bruno Wyss of Zofingen, Switzerland, on 8 July 1983, the Ferrari 512 BBi offered here left the Maranello factory finished in Rosso Ferrari (300) with the optional senza strisce nere finish—foregoing the typical black beltline for an all-red metallic hue. The supercar was fitted with a Pelle Nera and Stoffa interior (black leather with cloth inserts). The Ferrari’s first owner was one Rudolf Gerber of Herzogenbuchsee, in the canton of Bern. Its earliest history is not documented and the 512 BBi is next known to have changed hands in November 1997, when it was bought by Carlo Lusser of Baar, in the canton of Zug, who kept the car until around 2007. At this point it was acquired by Erwin Muilwijk of Zofingen, who kept the Ferrari until October 2014, when it was acquired by a resident of Munich, Germany, through the esteemed collector car dealer, Schaltkulisse. In October 2015, the 512 BBi was awarded certification by Ferrari Classiche, and the car is offered with its important “Red Book” that confirms its matching-numbers chassis and engine. It is also accompanied by a fitted leather luggage set with yellow dust covers, a spare wheel, tool roll, and a Ferrari folio with books. In February 2024, the car benefitted from €3,382 of expenditure at Tom Fischer, the classic and race car workshop, with invoices for other recent maintenance available to view on file. An iconic Ferrari in every sense, examples such as this Swiss-delivered 512 BBi are very rarely offered for sale in such excellent condition. 1983 Ferrari 512 BBi RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1969-alfa-romeo-1750-spider-veloce-by-pininfarina

    Nearly identical to the earlier 1600 “Duetto” Spider in terms of looks, the 1750 Spider Veloce introduced in 1968 was the next step in the evolution of Alfa Romeo’s charming two-seat convertible. Powered by a larger version of Alfa’s twin-cam inline four-cylinder displacing 1,779-cubic-centimeters, and benefiting from significant refinements to the suspension, brakes, and electrics, the 1750 Spider Veloce combined Pininfarina’s iconic “round-tail” design—nicknamed “osso di seppia” or “cuttlefish bone” in Italian—with the improved mechanicals of the later series Spiders. The US version featured Spica mechanical fuel injection rather than the twin horizontal carburetors offered in other markets and was available only for 1969, which was also the final model year for the Series 1 Spider and its coveted “round-tail” bodywork. This Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce was acquired by the consignor in 2017 from a West Coast marque expert who previously owned it and helped complete its comprehensive restoration that same year. Fully refurbished cosmetically and mechanically to a high standard, the car was completely disassembled inside and out, with the bodywork taken down to bare metal before being resprayed in its current shade of white. The seats and door cards were refinished in attractive red leather that contrasts nicely with the exterior and other black interior trim. The engine, with its Spica mechanical fuel injection, as well as the five-speed transmission, differential, suspension, brake system, fuel system, and heater assembly were fully rebuilt. In 2021, new headlight covers and a Nardi steering wheel were installed. Accompanied by restoration invoices and riding on Avon Radial tires mounted to 15-inch Minilite wheels, this one-year-only US-spec “round-tail” will be of great interest to Alfisti seeking the ultimate Series 1 Spider, beautifully restored with all the best elements of design and performance that the model has to offer. 1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider Veloce by Pininfarina RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1965 Shelby Cobra 427

    40th Anniversary 427 S/C Cobra Limited production, 18 of 40 Aluminum body 427 C.I. Aluminum engine, 550 HP Powerful, lightweight, and an American icon, the Shelby 427 Cobra was the brainchild of sports car builder Carroll Shelby. While the original CSX3000 series of 427 Cobras ended production in 1967, the insatiable appetite for Cobras from the public around the world did not. During this time, many companies tried to make similar examples using Shelby's tried-and-true formula of lightweight cars with massively powerful engines but were never true Shelby Cobras. Then in 1996, almost three decades after the last original 427 Cobra rolled off the production line, the new CSX4000 series was born. Now offered by Shelby American, Inc., no Cobra kit manufacturer could offer what the American company now produced: True Shelby authenticity. CSX4000 series cars were offered in both fiberglass and aluminum-bodied forms, with the aluminum examples being rare, almost doubling the purchase price of the car due to their labor-intensive hand-formed panels. These Shelby Cobras were delivered to authorized dealers as rolling chassis for the final fitment of the engine and transmission, allowing the new owner to choose a power plant and transmission of their choice. Since 1962, when Carroll Shelby built the first Cobra, many companies have tried to make a copy of this iconic sports car. Most are offered in kit form, and the customer is left to assemble or build the car themselves. Beginning in the late 1990s, Carroll himself decided that he would produce a continuation Cobra, featuring a hand-crafted aluminum body, 4-inch round tube chassis, and many of the same mechanical components as the original 427 Cobras had. In 2002, Carroll Shelby authorized a run of 40 CSX 4000 Cobras to be produced with special features to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the first Cobra. This car is 18 of only 40 anniversary Cobras produced. Exterior features include special "Anniversary Blue" paint, street bumpers with overrides sun visors, wind wings, chrome roll bar, ceramic coated side pipes, and a cooling splitter in the grille opening. Interior features include leather seats and dash, 40th-anniversary commemorative gauges and floor mats, door pockets, glove box (signed by Carroll Shelby), heater/defroster, ashtray, lighter, and shoulder belts. The drivetrain consists of an all-aluminum 427 big block engine mated to a big shaft Top Loader 4-speed transmission. The independent rear differential features an aluminum center section housing 3.54:1 gears. Included with the car is the original M.S.O. signed by Carroll Shelby, build photos, and receipts. The Shelby CSX cars are the only Cobras to be licensed by Shelby American and are documented and included in the Shelby American Automobile Club World Registry. This 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 has been meticulously cared for and recently underwent significant maintenance and upgrades. In August 2022, the fuel system received a thorough overhaul, with the fuel cell inspected and fuel cell foam replaced by Fuel Safe, a carburetor rebuild, and the installation of a new fuel pressure gauge and filter. Upon arriving at Canepa, the cobra was inspected from front to back and given a checklist of what items needed to be addressed. The car was given a full mechanical inspection and servicing as needed, then sent to our detailing department where it was given a full detailing. The blue paint finish was polished using only foam pads to bring a deep luster to the surface. The interior was thoroughly cleaned, leaving it spotless and in excellent condition. This Cobra is not just a collector's dream; it's a remarkable driving experience with a blend of classic charm and modern reliability.

Aluminum engine, 550 HP Powerful, lightweight, and an American icon, the Shelby 427 Cobra was the brainchild of sports car builder Carroll Shelby. While the original CSX3000 series of 427 Cobras ended production in 1967, the insatiable appetite for Cobras from the public around the world did not. During this time, many companies tried to make similar examples using Shelby's tried-and-true formula of lightweight cars with massively powerful engines but were never true Shelby Cobras. Then in 1996, almost three decades after the last original 427 Cobra rolled off the production line, the new CSX4000 series was born. Now offered by Shelby American, Inc., no Cobra kit manufacturer could offer what the American company now produced: True Shelby authenticity. CSX4000 series cars were offered in both fiberglass and aluminum-bodied forms, with the aluminum examples being rare, almost doubling the purchase price of the car due to their labor-intensive hand-formed panels. These Shelby Cobras were delivered to authorized dealers as rolling chassis for the final fitment of the engine and transmission, allowing the new owner to choose a power plant and transmission of their choice. Since 1962, when Carroll Shelby built the first Cobra, many companies have tried to make a copy of this iconic sports car. Most are offered in kit form, and the customer is left to assemble or build the car themselves. Beginning in the late 1990s, Carroll himself decided that he would produce a continuation Cobra, featuring a hand-crafted aluminum body, 4-inch round tube chassis, and many of the same mechanical components as the original 427 Cobras had. In 2002, Carroll Shelby authorized a run of 40 CSX 4000 Cobras to be produced with special features to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the first Cobra. This car is 18 of only 40 anniversary Cobras produced. Exterior features include special "Anniversary Blue" paint, street bumpers with overrides sun visors, wind wings, chrome roll bar, ceramic coated side pipes, and a cooling splitter in the grille opening. Interior features include leather seats and dash, 40th-anniversary commemorative gauges and floor mats, door pockets, glove box (signed by Carroll Shelby), heater/defroster, ashtray, lighter, and shoulder belts. The drivetrain consists of an all-aluminum 427 big block engine mated to a big shaft Top Loader 4-speed transmission. The independent rear differential features an aluminum center section housing 3.54:1 gears. Included with the car is the original M.S.O. signed by Carroll Shelby, build photos, and receipts. The Shelby CSX cars are the only Cobras to be licensed by Shelby American and are documented and included in the Shelby American Automobile Club World Registry. This 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 has been meticulously cared for and recently underwent significant maintenance and upgrades. In August 2022, the fuel system received a thorough overhaul, with the fuel cell inspected and fuel cell foam replaced by Fuel Safe, a carburetor rebuild, and the installation of a new fuel pressure gauge and filter. Upon arriving at Canepa, the cobra was inspected from front to back and given a checklist of what items needed to be addressed. The car was given a full mechanical inspection and servicing as needed, then sent to our detailing department where it was given a full detailing. The blue paint finish was polished using only foam pads to bring a deep luster to the surface. The interior was thoroughly cleaned, leaving it spotless and in excellent condition. This Cobra is not just a collector's dream; it's a remarkable driving experience with a blend of classic charm and modern reliability. Don't miss the opportunity to own this iconic American muscle car. The wait for a new CSX Cobra is over two years. This one is serviced and ready to enjoy!

  • 1952-ferrari-340-mexico-vignale-spyder

    The Carrera Panamericana It’s 1950 and you’re the head of the government body responsible for completing the Mexican stretch of the long-awaited Pan-American Highway – an incredibly proud moment for a country desperate to shake off its ‘old-world’ image. Devised to connect Alaska in the north with Argentina in the south, the ambitious multinational cross-continental road project was quite the feat, both logistically and politically. With post-War prosperity fueling tourism and making the motor car – and thus travel by road – more accessible than ever, Mexico urgently needs traffic on the 2,200-mile stretch of road it has worked so defiantly to build. The solution? A marathon border-to-border road race to make the Mille Miglia and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in Europe look like proverbial walks in the park. Aptly christened the Carrera Panamericana, the fearsome weeklong competition was held five times between 1950 and 1954, attracting the era’s very best drivers from every discipline of motorsport (Formula 1 included!) and firmly establishing itself as the most challenging motor race in the world. In fact, from 1953, the Carrera Panamericana became a fully-fledged round of the FIA World Sportscar Championship (to the chagrin of many competitors, who were forced to start wearing crash helmets as a result!). When worlds collide Much of the charm of the Carrera Panamericana was the kaleidoscopic variety of machinery taking part. With the emerging North American market’s increasing appetite for automotive exports from Europe, thunderous stock saloons from the ‘Big Three’ in Detroit were pitched against comparatively exotic sports cars from Alfa Romeo, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari. With Grands Prix, Mille Miglia, Targa Florio and Le Mans victories already chalked on its competition record, the Prancing Horse might have been a young company at the turn of the 1950s, but its intentions were clear to everybody. In Europe, at least. North America was a lucrative yet largely untapped market for Ferrari at that time, which explains why Maranello sent two brand new 212 Inters and its star drivers Piero Taruffi and Alberto Ascari to Mexico for the Carrera in 1951. That and the generous government-funded prize pot, no doubt. When the pair crossed the finish line near Ciudad Juárez first and second in front of 200,000 local spectators, clinching the handsome 23,000-dollar purse, Enzo Ferrari was encouraged. He appointed his old friend Luigi Chinetti, the Italo-American Le Mans winner and Taruffi’s invaluable Carrera co-driver, as Ferrari’s North American agent (Chinetti promptly sold both 212 Inters to Mexican drivers straight after the race). And back in Italy, development work began on a new car specifically for the next year’s Carrera Panamericana. The Ferrari 340 Mexico The result was the commanding and aptly named Ferrari 340 Mexico, which, unlike its 2.5-litre Colombo V12-powered predecessor, was fitted with ingegnere Aurelio Lampredi’s 4.1-litre all-alloy long-stroke single-overhead-cam V12, the engine whose roots can be traced to the race-winning 375 Formula 1 monoposto. Designed by a young Giovanni Michelotti for Vignale, the aggressive yet strikingly elegant competition-focused Gran Turismo was beautifully unconventional. Aesthetically in line with the 212 Inter (also a high-waisted pontoon-fender Vignale design), the Mexico melded function-first features such as the bug deflector spanning the entire width of the bonnet and the vertical vents on the doors force-feeding cold air to the rear wheels with generous chrome trim and subtle tail fins no doubt implemented by tickle the Americans’ aesthetic fancy. “The 340 Mexico was designed for one thing: going hour after hour at full-chat on terrible roads, at altitude, in all weather conditions and in the face of all kind of oblivious exotic wildlife.” Beneath the surface, features such as the 150-litre endurance fuel tank, extended fifth gear, quadruple carburettors increasing power to a heady 280bhp (that’s 180mph flat-out, in 1952!), lightened tubular chassis and strengthened rear axle were all implemented with the Carrera Panamericana firmly in mind. In short, the 340 Mexico was designed for one thing: going hour after hour at full-chat on terrible roads, at altitude, in all weather conditions and in the face of all kind of oblivious exotic wildlife. It was designed for one thing: to win the Carrera Panamericana. Chassis no. 0228 AT Ferrari built just four 340 Mexicos for the 1952 Carrera Panamericana: three Berlinettas and one Spyder, all bodied by Vignale. The car we’re honoured to be presenting here is the sole Spyder: chassis number 0228 AT. The only 340 Mexico Spyder built, chassis number 0228 AT enjoys a photo call in Maranello before being shipped to Mexico At almost 250lbs and standing well above six feet, William ‘Bill’ Spear by no means resembled the archetypal 1950s racing driver. But, contrary to his appearance, the wealthy Connecticut privateer was rather a dab hand behind the wheel. In fact, during his five-year foray into the world of international motorsport, Spears scored podium finishes in both the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Five thousand miles away in Modena, Il Commendatore did not care for the stature or weight of Mr. Spear. What he valued was a loyal customer and an excellent ambassador for his brand – especially in the burgeoning North American market. Via Chinetti, Spear acquired his first Ferrari, a 166 MM Touring Barchetta, in December of 1950 and his second, a 340 America Touring Barchetta, not long after. Incidentally, here at Girardo & Co. we had the pleasure of rehoming the 340 America, chassis number 0118 A, late last year. After a factory photo call in Maranello, chassis number 0228 AT was boarded on the same vessel as its scarlet Berlinetta counterparts and set sail across the Atlantic for the start of the 1952 Carrera Panamericana. However, despite the car reaching Mexico and Spear being listed on the entry list, he and his new Ferrari pulled out of the race at the very last minute for reasons unbeknownst to us. This Ferrari was instrumental in clinching William ‘Bill’ Spear the 1953 SCCA National Sports Car Championship Instead, the Ferrari made its competition debut in the opening round of the 1953 Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Championship at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida. Once in the United States, Spear chose to finish his new 340 Mexico Spyder in royal blue with a white bonnet and boot lid, just like his 340 America. The six-hour endurance race at MacDill required two drivers so Spear called on Phil Hill, a 26-year-old from the West Coast embarking on a career in motor racing that would see him become the very first American Formula 1 World Champion. Also a keen photographer, Hill’s images captured at this time paint a gloriously candid picture of amateur motor racing in the 1950s, worlds away from the corporate safety-obsessed sport today. The race at MacDill is wonderfully documented in his book Inside Track. Hill and Spear had a tremendous race, crossing the finish line second overall and only narrowly missing out on victory thanks to several broken wheel spokes. “We could have won easily,” he recalls in the book. “I had been lucky to be invited to co-drive by Spear, and lucky to find out I could do it, so it was a real shame. According to Road & Track’s race report, I was doing 140mph on the MacDill backstretch!” The 1961 Formula 1 World Champion Phil Hill raced chassis number 0228 AT in the 1953 SCCA National Sports Car Championship While Spear took delivery of a new Ferrari 340 MM Spyder in the spring, he still tackled the following races at Bergstrom, Pebble Beach, Bridgehampton and Lockbourne with chassis number 0228 AT. And with considerable success – his proven and commandingly powerful Ferrari had proved the car to beat, accruing him two victories and two further podiums. Combined with his stellar results in the 340 MM Spyder, Spear was crowned the 1953 SCCA National Sports Car Champion. As had become customary for Spear, a new year meant a new Ferrari. For 1954 he took delivery of a 375 MM Pinin Farina Spyder and the 340 Mexico Spyder was moved on courtesy of his friend Briggs Cunningham’s Alfredo Momo Corporation. Momo was also Spear’s trusted mechanic. “Retaining its matching-numbers chassis, engine and rear axle, chassis number 0228 AT is a striking, scintillating and unique open ‘big-banger’ 12-cylinder 1950s Ferrari.” The Massachusetts European sports-car concessionaire Preston Gray acquired chassis number 02228 AT in 1955. Painted canary yellow, the car once again contested the fiercely competitive SCCA National Sports Car Championship. That the 340 was still earning podiums in its final competitive races in 1957, five years after it left Maranello, was a testament to its fundamental effectiveness as a race car. It’s also worth noting that this car was featured in both the 1952 and 1955 Ferrari Yearbooks. Preston Gray painted chassis number 0228 AT canary yellow and raced it in the 1955 SCCA National Sports Car Championship Fast-forward to 1987 and this car joined the collection of the Mexican-born Monterey-based Ferrari aficionado Lorenzo H. Zambrano. Zambrano promptly commissioned a ground-up restoration with Steve Tillack & Company in California, with a view to extensively exhibiting chassis 0228 AT throughout the 1990s and into the New Millennium. And exhibit the car he did! Zambrano took the car to Italy for the Mille Miglia Storico. He showed the car at the world-famous Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance thrice, collecting some sought-after silverware along the way. And he raced it at the Annual Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races at Laguna Seca. This Ferrari’s current owner acquired the car in 2011, subsequently commissioning a cosmetic restoration with Brian Hoyt’s Perfect Reflections, the award-winning Californian classic automotive restoration specialist, returning chassis number 0228 AT to the original specification in which it left the factory in October of 1952. Upon completion, this 340 Mexico Spyder made its first – and, to date, only – public appearance at the 2015 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Having only been fleetingly seen in public in recent years, this ultra-special Ferrari is a ticket to the world’s greatest historic motoring events. From prestigious beauty pageants such as the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este and Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance to dynamic events such as the Mille Miglia Storico and the Colorado Grand. Retaining its matching-numbers chassis, engine and rear axle, chassis number 0228 AT is a striking, scintillating and unique open ‘big-banger’ 12-cylinder 1950s Ferrari. Furthermore, it was raced by the first American Formula 1 World Champion, Phil Hill, in what was arguably the most golden of eras of American motorsport. 1952 Ferrari 340 Mexico Vignale Spyder Girardo & Co.

Retaining its matching-numbers chassis, engine and rear axle, chassis number 0228 AT is a striking, scintillating and unique open ‘big-banger’ 12-cylinder 1950s Ferrari. Furthermore, it was raced by the first American Formula 1 World Champion, Phil Hill, in what was arguably the most golden of eras of American motorsport. Other Cars from Girardo & Co.
