Arguably the most civilised, not to mention usable, of the 70s crop of Italian supercars, Maserati’s stunning mid-engined Merak combined a powerful V6 engine with the practicality of occasional rear seats and a decent-sized boot. Sharing its basic architecture and floorpan with the V8-powered Bora, the Merak was similarly penned by the talented Giorgetto Giugiaro’s Ital Design studio in Turin, but instead of the Bora’s rear clamshell, there was a flat decklid and novel flying buttress arrangement. In a break with tradition, the new Merak was named after a star in the Plough constellation and saw the greatest influence of the Modenese firm’s new relationship with Citroën yet, particularly the 90-degree V6 engine, a unit Maserati originally engineered for the SM. As used in the Merak, the Tipo C114 V6 was bored out from 2,670cc to 2,965cc greatly improving both torque and flexibility. With twin overhead camshafts per bank and fed by triple Weber 42 DCNF carburettors, the alloy V6’s 190 horses were delivered to the rear wheels through the SM’s 5-speed transaxle, while the brakes (discs all round) also used an adaptation of Citroën’s patented hydraulic power-operated system. The interior was typical of Italian exotics from the era, with low-slung seats and plenty of luxury features, while the compact V6 engine allowed a surprising amount of rear passenger space - even the usual Italian offset driving position was largely overcome thanks to a fully adjustable steering wheel and decent seat travel. Competition from Ferrari's new Dino V8 prompted the introduction of a more powerful and lightweight version - the Merak SS (Tipo AM122/A) with 220bhp engine and revised interior - for 1975, ZF transmission being adopted shortly after. The SS was distinguished by a black grille between the pop-up headlights, a Maserati-designed upper fascia with round instruments and a four-spoke steering wheel replaced the previous SM-derived interior. Later cars (and RHD examples) were bestowed with the full driver-oriented dashboard and three-spoke padded steering wheel from the Bora. 1982 Maserati Merak SS Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

In 1968, Ferrari saw it fit to replace the four-year-old 275 GTB/4. The 365 the GTB/4 was introduced and Ferrari enthusiasts took it upon themselves to dub it the Daytona in honour of Ferrari's 24 Hours of Daytona win. The nickname was so popular that the GTB/4 became almost more noticeable under its nickname than its given name. The 365 GTB/4 Berlinetta, that replaced the earlier 275 GTB/4, differed dramatically in styling, though the tubular steel chassis bore many similarities to its predecessor and provided superior balance. Where the curvaceous 275 GTB/4 was clearly a traditional Pininfarina design, the 365 GTB/4 was at once modern, edgy, sleek and forward-looking. Penned by Pininfarina's Leonardo Fioravanti, who continues to maintain an independent styling studio, Fioravanti Srl., outside of Turin, the 365 GTB/4 features a number of styling cues that continue to influence modern Ferrari design. The outgoing 275 GTB/4 lent the basic design of its 60-degree V-12 engine to the 365 GTB/4, though it was enlarged from 3.3 to 4.4 litres or 4,390 cc. Power output rose accordingly. The new engine, designated Tipo 251, delivered 352 bhp and 315 foot-pounds of torque at 7,500 rpm through six Weber twin-choke carburettors. A five-speed manual transaxle was, of course, the only available transmission. Ferrari debuted the new model at the October 1968 Paris Salon. A handful of coupes were produced for customers in the 1968 model year. At the Frankfurt International Auto Show in September 1969, Ferrari unveiled a Spyder version of the car. Supplied new through Sidney Marcus Ltd of North London, after an order through Maranello Concessionaires, this Daytona was supplied new to its first keeper, Mr Kennedy and appropriately registered ‘JGK 1’. Supplied new as a GTB/4, this example was elegantly optioned in Azzurro over Blu. In January 1984, the Daytona was purchased by Mr Robert Jankel, proprietor of both Panther Cars and Jankel Coachbuilding. An eccentric mind for certain, Jankel was known for building extravagant bespoke projects, from the Panther 6, a six-wheeled convertible, powered by a mid-mounted, twin-turbocharged 8 litre V8 to the Bentley Val d’Isere; a practical estate conversion with 4-wheel drive based on the Bentley Turbo R. The Daytona was purchased as Jankel’s personal car and shortly after purchase was entrusted to CP Autokraft for what would be their final of 8 conversions to Spyder configuration. Autokraft are considered to be the most accurate and faithful of the conversions to spyder, with the first conversion taking place after measurements had been taken from a UK supplied RHD factory spyder. At the time of the conversion, the car was repainted black and featured in Jankel literature at the time, as well as wearing his private registration mark, ‘PAN 10’. At the tail end of 1995, Jankel sold the car to William Lo, a Hong Kong based businessman at his London address. Shortly after purchase he moved the car to his residence in Hong Kong, keeping it serviced with Andrew Turner of Italian Motors. The car would pass to Winston Mak whilst still being maintained by Turner. When the time came to sell the car, Turner would step up and purchase the car as Italian Motors. Turner sold the car to Mr John Whyte in Hong Kong on 15th February 1988. Mr Whyte returned the car to the UK two months later, notifying the DVLA in April 1988. This Daytona would pass through two further owners in the UK prior to purchase by its current custodian in 2008. In 2009, the car was entrusted into the car of Cremonini Classic in Modena to complete a comprehensive, bare-metal restoration of the car. Mechanical works were carried out by Sport Auto Modena and once completed in late 2011, the car was finished in Bianco over Bordeaux. This Daytona has been used sparingly since restoration. In 2021, it visited marque specialists Barkaways for a colour change and today presents in Grigio Ferro over Bordeaux with ‘Daytona’ inserts in Nero. Presenting superbly, this example is also fitted with air conditioning. Today the speedo displays just 580 miles since restoration, and is offered for sale from a prominent collection including the Le Mans class-winning Daytona Competizione. This Daytona is on site and available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately. 1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 'Daytona' Spider Conversion D.K.

The Jensen Interceptor: a hand-built grand tourer from the Kelvin Way factory near Birmingham, steeped in heritage that reaches back to the 1950s—yet famed above all for its effortless cool. What sets this Mk III apart? A decisive evolution in craftsmanship and materials. After years of relying on glass-fibre composites (a restorer’s nightmare), Jensen triumphantly returned to an all-steel body styled by the legendary Italian house Carrozzeria Touring. Think of it as taking a shot of limoncello alongside your Beef Wellington. Introduced in 1971, the Mark III brought subtle refinements to the nose, bumpers and lighting, while adding GKN alloy wheels, air-conditioning and redesigned seats as standard. Depending on build date you received a G-, H- or J-series. This particular car is a 1971 model—meaning the coveted 7.2-litre 440 ci V8 lies beneath the bonnet. The earlier 6.3-litre made way for what is essentially a British gentleman in an American power suit: picture tweed jacket, magnificent moustache and an appetite for hamburgers. Our “Gentleman’s Express” has just enjoyed a thorough dose of TLC: overhauled brakes and front suspension, a new radiator, refreshed interior and refinished wheels. Every detail has been addressed, leaving the car in beautifully rust-free condition. Originally delivered in Paris—with those unmistakably cool yellow headlamps—this example comes from a discerning private collection and is now ready for its next custodian. Is that you? We invite you to experience her in person. 1973 Jensen Interceptor Cool Classic Club If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The reintroduced popularity of the roadster body style brought about by the Mazda Miata in North America necessitated a reaction from the European Makes to offer their own interpretation on the genre after helping establish a market in the mid-century. BMW entered into the fray in 1995 with the Z3. In classic roadster fashion, a long hood and short rear deck composed the overall shape. However, the lines were far from the typical teutonic straightedges commonly seen in the period, and instead, designer Joji Nagashima employed the softer, rounder shapes from the roadsters of the past. Every single body panel possesses some form of curvature, an element that surely gave the manufacturing side of the business a bit of a headache. Fortunately, it all works quite well, and today, the Z3 looks like nothing BMW has put out before or since, and the boldness of the design has aged remarkably well. Enthusiasts of the brand might have been saddened to see an inline-6 unavailable at launch under that long hood, but all could rest assured that BMW would deliver soon enough. Many could be satisfied with the lightness and responsiveness of the 4-cylinder models, but more power always tends to make things better. Just a year after the car’s introduction, the traditional Inline-6 arrived along with deliciously punched out fenders allowing for a 2.5inch wider rear track. It was only a matter of time now before the M-division got its hands on the little roadster. Falling in line with E36 M3, North American examples of the new Z3 M Roadster were fitted with the S52 engine upon release. While down on power from its more exotic, individual throttle-bodied cousin, this bored and stroked M52 motor is not without its merits in the context of the contemporary automotive scene. At the end of the day, a naturally aspirated inline-6 with a 7,000rpm redline makes for an enticing proposition to any gearhead. The Z3 M Roadster on offer here, chassis # WBSCK9333XLC89705, is a 1-owner example finished in Estoril Blue over a full black interior. Showing just 24,266 miles this is one of the most well cared for examples we have handled. Delivered new to Roadshow BMW in Tennessee, the car was immediately sent to its one and only owner in Decatur, Illinois. From here the owner began thoroughly enjoying the Z3 as he put roughly 6,000 miles on the car in its first two summers. Over the next 6 years usage became less frequent but still regular with proper maintenance carried out along the way. As it sits today this Z3 is entirely unmodified and ready for continued use after a baseline fluids swap as the last service was done in late 2020, or roughly 1,000 miles ago. This Z3 M Roadster presents a great opportunity to acquire a collector grade example of the platform. With a handwritten log documenting every service and the miles corresponding to them you know exactly how meticulously maintained the car really is. Included in the sale are the tools, first aid kit, black leather tonneau cover, the Z3 Roadster branded tonneau carrier case, and available service records and logs. EXTERIOR Body And Paint The paint maintains a consistent, deep shine throughout with no serious or unsightly blemishes to note. Several very small mm wide pits are present in between the kidney grills likely from road debris. All of the obvious VIN stickers are present throughout each panel and match the correct VIN number. All of the shut gaps are excellent as expected from a lower mileage Z3 M. Glass And Trim The glass appears to be all original and blemish-free including the windshield that has some light stone peppering but certainly does not warrant replacement. All of the trim is supple, free from sun fading or shrinking. The soft top fits excellently with no rips or blemishes to note and the plastic rear window is clear. The only minor issue to note is the rubber surrounding the rear window has partially worn away. Wheels The wheels are in wonderful, like-new condition showing no signs of wear or curbing on the deep lip that is common on the Z3 M. The finish is bright and shows no signs of fading from age. INTERIOR Seats And Surfaces The seats and interior surfaces present very well with wear commensurate with the mileage displayed. The driver's side seat bolster has some wear consistent with the mileage. The dash and door panels are excellent.with no noteworthy issues. Functionality And Accessories Everything works as it should upon our inspection of the systems including the A/C, lights, radio, top, seats, windows, wipers, etc. The notorious seat rail issues that these cars normally have has been properly fixed.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright The reintroduced popularity of the roadster body style brought about by the Mazda Miata in North America necessitated a reaction from the European Makes to offer their own interpretation on the genre after helping establish a market in the mid-century. BMW entered into the fray in 1995 with the Z3. In classic roadster fashion, a long hood and short rear deck composed the overall shape. However, the lines were far from the typical teutonic straightedges commonly seen in the period, and instead, designer Joji Nagashima employed the softer, rounder shapes from the roadsters of the past. Every single body panel possesses some form of curvature, an element that surely gave the manufacturing side of the business a bit of a headache. Fortunately, it all works quite well, and today, the Z3 looks like nothing BMW has put out before or since, and the boldness of the design has aged remarkably well. Enthusiasts of the brand might have been saddened to see an inline-6 unavailable at launch under that long hood, but all could rest assured that BMW would deliver soon enough. Many could be satisfied with the lightness and responsiveness of the 4-cylinder models, but more power always tends to make things better. Just a year after the car’s introduction, the traditional Inline-6 arrived along with deliciously punched out fenders allowing for a 2.5inch wider rear track. It was only a matter of time now before the M-division got its hands on the little roadster. Falling in line with E36 M3, North American examples of the new Z3 M Roadster were fitted with the S52 engine upon release. While down on power from its more exotic, individual throttle-bodied cousin, this bored and stroked M52 motor is not without its merits in the context of the contemporary automotive scene. At the end of the day, a naturally aspirated inline-6 with a 7,000rpm redline makes for an enticing proposition to any gearhead. The Z3 M Roadster on offer here, chassis # WBSCK9333XLC89705, is a 1-owner example finished in Estoril Blue over a full black interior. Showing just 24,266 miles this is one of the most well cared for examples we have handled. Delivered new to Roadshow BMW in Tennessee, the car was immediately sent to its one and only owner in Decatur, Illinois. From here the owner began thoroughly enjoying the Z3 as he put roughly 6,000 miles on the car in its first two summers. Over the next 6 years usage became less frequent but still regular with proper maintenance carried out along the way. As it sits today this Z3 is entirely unmodified and ready for continued use after a baseline fluids swap as the last service was done in late 2020, or roughly 1,000 miles ago. This Z3 M Roadster presents a great opportunity to acquire a collector grade example of the platform. With a handwritten log documenting every service and the miles corresponding to them you know exactly how meticulously maintained the car really is. Included in the sale are the tools, first aid kit, black leather tonneau cover, the Z3 Roadster branded tonneau carrier case, and available service records and logs. EXTERIOR Body And Paint The paint maintains a consistent, deep shine throughout with no serious or unsightly blemishes to note. Several very small mm wide pits are present in between the kidney grills likely from road debris. All of the obvious VIN stickers are present throughout each panel and match the correct VIN number. All of the shut gaps are excellent as expected from a lower mileage Z3 M. Glass And Trim The glass appears to be all original and blemish-free including the windshield that has some light stone peppering but certainly does not warrant replacement. All of the trim is supple, free from sun fading or shrinking. The soft top fits excellently with no rips or blemishes to note and the plastic rear window is clear. The only minor issue to note is the rubber surrounding the rear window has partially worn away. Wheels The wheels are in wonderful, like-new condition showing no signs of wear or curbing on the deep lip that is common on the Z3 M. The finish is bright and shows no signs of fading from age. INTERIOR Seats And Surfaces The seats and interior surfaces present very well with wear commensurate with the mileage displayed. The driver's side seat bolster has some wear consistent with the mileage. The dash and door panels are excellent.with no noteworthy issues. Functionality And Accessories Everything works as it should upon our inspection of the systems including the A/C, lights, radio, top, seats, windows, wipers, etc. The notorious seat rail issues that these cars normally have has been properly fixed. ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK Engine Bay The engine bay is tidy, clean, all stock looking and has proper stickers and finishes.

Highlights One of 41 Panteras built, 39 of which survive today Designed by Marcello Gandini Exceptionally fine collector grade example General Overview Originally designed by American Tom Tjaarda while working with Carrozzeria Ghia, the Pantera advanced the earlier Ford-powered Mangusta to a new level. Built with a steel monocoque chassis and stamped steel body, the Panera’s chiseled design featured a mid-mounted Ford 351 Cleveland V8 engine, ZF transaxle, and power assisted four-wheel disc brakes. Great looks and amazing performance combined with the backing from Ford brought the Pantera to America through Lincoln-Mercury dealerships beginning in 1971 and continuing through 1975. When fast paced fuel emissions regulations halted US imports, Pantera production continued with De Tomaso serving European clientele, remarkably until the final series 90 SI was built in 1991. For the final series, the Pantera was redesigned by Marcello Gandini, one of the most prolific and skilled designers of modern mid-engine sports cars. Credited with the design for the Lamborghini Miura, Countach, Lancia Stratos, and numerous other cars, Gandini gracefully evolved the Tjaarda design advancing nearly all body panels to a fresh, modern look without altering the costly tooling needed for a new roof and doors. Having been significantly improved in 1980, the chassis was continually advanced in various iterations through this decade culminating in the 90 SI, first offered in 1990. The 90 SI featured a 5.0-liter Ford 302 using electronic fuel injection, modified cylinder heads, camshafts, valves and pistons, and a better flow intake manifold to improve overall performance. Brembo caliper disc brakes, revised suspension, and additional chassis improvements completed the final iteration. Although 41 examples of the final iteration of the Pantera were built, two were sacrificed for crash testing, and one reserved for the De Tomaso Museum. As such, just 38 examples were sold to the public, four of which were independently converted (post-production) to Targa configuration. History of This Car This rare, preservation grade example is one of 34 factory 90 SI models sold in the factory original configuration to the public. This exceptional Pantera has benefited from long-term ownership, housed for decades by the current consigning owner who maintains a private European based collection dedicated to modern supercars. Documentation accompanying this car is extensive and thorough including the De Tomaso “Dichiarazione di Contormita” certificate referencing April 12, 1991, with completion on June 26, 1991, Italian delivery paperwork from De Tomaso, original prior registration paperwork, factory build documentation, and various service invoices. Factoring in the rarity of this model, the impeccable preservation, and the documentation including factory build records, it would be challenging to find a more compelling example of the final iteration of the legendary Pantera. General Condition Today this Pantera displays wonderful finishes throughout including the beautiful vivid yellow paint. The paint is glossy and smooth throughout with excellent detailing in the door jambs, rear valance undercut, front air extractors, and deeply carved rear wing. The body is in excellent condition, free from significant visual flaws and displaying great fit and panel gaps with very nice closures. The black window and distinctive side vent trim are in excellent condition showing no sun fading, while the front and rear body-colored bumper features are in excellent condition as well. The lights and original glass are beautifully preserved and the correct staggered size wheels appear virtually new wearing Michelin tires. The impressive 335/35 profile rear tires convey massive power from the rear view. The car presents as an exceptional example of this final design with unique features and finishes befitting the Pantera legend. The interior is in excellent condition consistent with the exterior condition. The rich black leather surfaces are taut and supple, remarkably so given the passing years with excellent details and stitching including the red accent stitching on the Momo steering wheel. The driver’s left side seat bolster shows mild evidence of use and the carpet footwell area has some typical wear, but otherwise, the interior is remarkably fine. The headliner, sun visors, dashboard, instruments, switches, and controls are all in excellent original condition, appearing essentially as new, including the rich lacquered wood dashboard. Additional features include the distinctive sideways mounted AM/FM cassette stereo, AC and climate controls, gated aluminum shifter with reverse safety lockout, 300 km speedometer, padded dash, and tufted leather interior door bolsters. The overall experience of the interior is wonderfully preserved and all the more impressive rendered in the colorful yellow and black contrasting combination. The engine compartment is clean and tidy. The removable storage tub serves as an excellent tray for luggage stowing. When removed, the engine and transaxle are fully revealed showing correct factory finishes in all areas including correct hoses, clamps, wiring, proper factory labels, and of course the distinctive ZF 5-speed gearbox and Pantera suspension. The front storage compartment remains original displaying minor patina to some of the original factory components. The undercarriage is very nicely preserved, reflective of the low miles and original components. There is no evidence of structural compromise to the chassis or major suspension mounting points. The driving experience is impressive but has been limited to short distances for the sake of preservation. The car exhibits good acceleration, excellent mid-engine handling, and very good braking. Included with the car is a complete set of factory literature, documentation from De Tomaso including factory build notes, certificate, registration papers, and a battery tender. Please note that this car was not originally manufactured for US import but will be sold with duty paid in the US on Swedish ownership documents. Due to California title and registration requirements this car is available to an out of state resident or a licensed California dealer. The Pantera has become increasingly regarded by collectors as one of the more desirable performance cars of the period. Embodying all the important characteristics for a highly collectible car, the Pantera 90 SI combines stunning Italian design and venerable American performance. This exceptional example displays outstanding integrity, impeccable credentials, and low documented miles. The sympathetic care and attention to originality present a very handsome car ready for ongoing enjoyment including proudly displaying it at any number of exotic sports car gatherings particularly in the growing preservation classes at several high-level concours events throughout the world. 1991 De Tomaso Pantera 90 Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Enzo Ferrari’s close friend and trusted North American concessionaire, Luigi Chinetti was a shrewd businessman. And never was this more evident than when the Italian emigrant heard out his West Coast representative John Von Neumann’s hunch that a drop-top version of the successful closed-coupé Ferrari 250 GT would prove a hit with his well-heeled sun-seeking clients in Los Angeles and beyond. Chinetti took the proposal directly to Il Commendatore. And, unusually, Il Commendatore was amenable. Over six decades later, the resulting car – aptly christened the 250 GT California Spyder – is considered to be among the most desirable Ferraris ever built. Unpacking the characteristics of this gorgeous open Gran Turismo, its near-celestial status to collectors is hardly surprising. Available either with a long- (2,600mm) or short-wheelbase (2,400mm), the Pininfarina-designed, Scaglietti-built Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder could be configured exactly as the customer determined. Alloy bodywork, open or closed headlights, additional spotlights, competition features such as an external fuel-filler cap or an enhanced ‘cold’ airbox – no two California Spyders are truly alike. Perhaps the most pertinent similarity with these 100-or-so cars is their competition lineage. Let’s not forget that, in Europe, Ferrari was dominating international GT racing with its 250 GT ‘Tour de France’ and, subsequently, the SWB Competizione. And, beneath the desperately beautiful surface, the California Spyder was essentially the same car – a potent and sophisticated twelve-cylinder sports car that most manufacturers could only dream of rivalling, on the racetrack or on the road. “The California Spyder was a potent and sophisticated twelve-cylinder sports car that most manufacturers could only dream of rivalling, on the racetrack or on the road.” A jaw-droppingly pretty drop-top 1950/60s Ferrari with all the glamour and celebrity sex appeal that comes with it, the 250 GT California Spyder is entirely befitting of its hallowed status not just in Ferrari spheres, but in the broader collector-car world in general. The 27th of the 50 250 GT LWB California Spyders built by Ferrari, chassis number 1425 GT was not exported to the United States but instead remained in Italy – more specifically Naples, with a distinguished lady by the name of Livia Mustica. An open-headlight 1959 model originally finished in white over a black interior, this late-production California Spyder benefitted from the more resolved Scaglietti coachwork, the enhanced Tipo 508D chassis and the latest (and most powerful) Tipo 128D variant of the Colombo V12. The latter was complemented by two desirable optional extras: the cold airbox, designed to force-feed cooler and denser air to the engine, and the competition-inspired velocity stacks. From a visual perspective, this Ferrari’s engine bay is indistinguishable from that in the 250 GT LWB ‘Tour de France’. We think it’s worth noting that chassis number 1451 GT, which was produced two cars behind ‘ours’ at the factory and also an open-headlight model, finished fifth overall in the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans. The California Spyders may have been beautiful, but they were thinly disguised racers at heart. So pleased was Ferrari with how chassis number 1425 GT turned out that it borrowed the car for a commercial photo shoot in the pretty port of Naples. A hastily applied cardboard dealer number plate was affixed for the occasion, which resulted in some excellent photographs for the press to feast on. Almost a decade after it was delivered, in 1968, this 250 GT LWB changed hands, remaining in Naples. And a year after that, the Ferrari was acquired by Tom Meade. If you’re unfamiliar with Meade, his story is a fascinating one. A native Californian who’d spent his impressionable adolescence in Australia, Meade made the pilgrimage to Italy’s Motor Valley in 1960, dreaming of one thing and one thing only: owning a Ferrari or a Maserati. “Meade made the pilgrimage to Italy’s Motor Valley in 1960, dreaming of one thing and one thing only: owning a Ferrari or a Maserati.” Over the course of the following decade, Meade truly immersed himself in Italy’s history-steeped automotive industry, shrewdly negotiating to buy a series of road and competition Ferraris and Maseratis, either for restoration, customisation or export to America. He convinced Medardo Fantuzzi of the famed Carrozzeria Fantuzzi to teach him the art of panel beating – an art he employed to build his own short series of bespoke coach-built one-offs, romantically christened the Thomassimas. Upon receiving this Ferrari, Meade repainted the car red and refashioned the nose from open-headlight configuration to closed. He then contacted an acquaintance back in California by the name of Jack Castor, to let him know that chassis 1425 GT was available to be viewed in Modena. A young Lockheed aerospace engineer looking to buy his first Ferrari, Castor had learned about Tom Meade and his Italian offerings from a colleague at work, who received the hotly-anticipated bulletins from Tom Meade’s Used Sports Car Center of Italy. Like a moth to a flame, Castor arranged to fly to Europe, even securing a loan against his Volkswagen Beetle beforehand so he could afford to buy the 3,000-dollar California Spyder and ship it home. Sure enough, when Meade took Castor to see chassis 1425 GT in a small one-car garage in rural Modena, Castor knew it was the car for him. He didn’t even need to see or hear it running. It was love at first sight. As the accompanying documentation attests, on 11 August 1969, this Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spyder set sail from Genova aboard the SS Paolo d’Amico, bound for San Francisco. After what we imagine would have been an agonisingly long wait for Castor, not even the slightly damaged windscreen could diminish his overwhelming sense of pride. With a new windscreen shipped directly from Carrozzeria Scaglietti in Modena (we even have all the documentation relating to the shipping, customs and insurance for this), Castor spent a decade sampling the virtues of his scarlet sensation on ‘an occasional basis’. That was until a minor mechanical malady prompted him to take the Ferrari temporarily off the road. Well.. what he thought was temporarily. Chassis number 1425 GT remained tucked up in Jack Castor’s garage in San Francisco for the next 25 years. During this time, Castor satisfied his intrepid side by travelling the world and his appetite for collecting by amassing almost 20 further classic cars, including the famous ex-Elvis Presley BMW 507, which has since been fully restored by the factory. The Ferrari, however, remained the crowning piece of his eclectic collection. Only after the dawn of the New Millennium did Castor decide to return the car to the road, turning to the widely-renowned US-based Ferrari specialist Patrick Ottis to carry out a sympathetic mechanical refresh. Preserved in remarkably original condition and by this point running as well as it ever had, this 250 GT LWB California Spyder was driven far more in its second life than it ever was in its first. Castor particularly enjoyed taking chassis 1425 GT to the Monterey Peninsula for Car Week, relishing the chance to show off his highly original and properly driven Ferrari in front of the fastidiously-restored concours ‘garage queens’. And 43 years after he bought it, the car and its extraordinary story was featured prominently in an issue of Forza magazine. Perhaps more admirable – and especially telling of his love for this California Spyder – is that Castor politely rebuffed a series of increasingly significant offers to buy the car. “Castor relished the chance to show off his highly original and properly driven Ferrari in front of the fastidiously-restored concours ‘garage queens’ at Pebble Beach.” Jack Castor sadly died in 2014 and his beloved Ferrari was subsequently sold to its current owner, a prominent collector in the United Kingdom, who recognised the rarity and appeal of an unrestored 250 GT LWB California Spyder from such long-term and cherished ownership. Having made its way back across the Atlantic for the first time since 1969, 1425 GT was promptly sent to the longstanding British Ferrari specialist Bob Houghton. Houghton’s brief was simple: to carry out an exhaustive mechanical rebuild, while preserving the originality and the beguiling patina accrued over the decades. The California Spyder spent over a year in Bob Houghton’s workshops, the corresponding invoices on file totalling almost £100,000. Suffice to say, from the driver’s seat, chassis number 1425 GT is now every bit as good to drive as its Scaglietti-shaped bodywork is to look at. It strikes that miraculous balance between feeling like a car that’s been freshly tuned to perfection but has worn like your favourite pair of jeans – the gear lever doesn’t feel at all tight, slotting around the gate with satisfying ease, the throttle pedal has that delicious elasticity and the Colombo V12 is as smooth as the best butter you’ve ever tried. Today, this 250 GT LWB California Spyder retains its original engine and black leather interior. And it’s accompanied by its period tool roll and tonneau cover, and an extraordinarily detailed history file, the lion’s share of which was compiled by Jack Castor – a man who would have been the first to admit he threw nothing away. There’s everything from correspondence and sales invoices to shipping waybills, customs clearance, insurance certificates, registration documents and, of course, a wealth of invoices, all of which piece together his 46 years of ownership. It’s the kind of history file most 1950s sports cars – and, in turn, the people who collect them – can only dream about. One of a mere 50 long-wheelbase California Spyders and an even smaller number with such a short chain of owners and never to have been comprehensively restored, chassis number 1425 GT presents its next custodian with one of a number of thrilling opportunities. Most obviously, there’s keeping the car exactly as it is – preserve that extraordinary patina and relish the chance to drive a properly sorted 250 GT LWB without the niggling worry about keeping the exterior flawless. Castor was especially proud of the condition of his ‘3,000-dollar Ferrari’ – and quite rightly. In recent years, it afforded him perhaps a unique chance to truly enjoy and share an unrestored California Spyder. Now you could pick up the baton. Then there’s the case for restoration. Given Tom Meade’s deserved role in the fabled story of the Prancing Horse, it would be a perfectly reasonable decision to restore this Ferrari to the specification in which it was originally sold by Meade to Castor in 1969 – resplendent in red and with the refashioned closed-headlamp nose treatment. On the other hand, there is the ‘go-the-whole-hog’ option, to commission a nut-and-bolt restoration to the exact specification in which chassis 1425 GT left the factory in 1959 and was pictured in those fabulous press images. Either of these routes would certainly open the door to the international concours circuit, including the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. “Arguably the most important thing is safeguarding this Ferrari’s incredible legacy for generations to come.” For us here at Girardo & Co., the choice is an incredibly difficult one to fathom, given the wonderfully nuanced history of chassis 1425 GT. Regardless of which route the new owner chooses to take, arguably the most important thing is safeguarding the car’s incredible legacy for generations to come. The thought of showing this 250 GT LWB California Spyder – one of the most beautiful Ferraris of all time – at the world’s most prestigious concours for the first time is a tantalizing thought. But then so is taking it for a spirited Sunday-morning drive to your local cars-and-coffee meeting, whether in Malibu or Milan.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright Enzo Ferrari’s close friend and trusted North American concessionaire, Luigi Chinetti was a shrewd businessman. And never was this more evident than when the Italian emigrant heard out his West Coast representative John Von Neumann’s hunch that a drop-top version of the successful closed-coupé Ferrari 250 GT would prove a hit with his well-heeled sun-seeking clients in Los Angeles and beyond. Chinetti took the proposal directly to Il Commendatore. And, unusually, Il Commendatore was amenable. Over six decades later, the resulting car – aptly christened the 250 GT California Spyder – is considered to be among the most desirable Ferraris ever built. Unpacking the characteristics of this gorgeous open Gran Turismo, its near-celestial status to collectors is hardly surprising. Available either with a long- (2,600mm) or short-wheelbase (2,400mm), the Pininfarina-designed, Scaglietti-built Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder could be configured exactly as the customer determined. Alloy bodywork, open or closed headlights, additional spotlights, competition features such as an external fuel-filler cap or an enhanced ‘cold’ airbox – no two California Spyders are truly alike. Perhaps the most pertinent similarity with these 100-or-so cars is their competition lineage. Let’s not forget that, in Europe, Ferrari was dominating international GT racing with its 250 GT ‘Tour de France’ and, subsequently, the SWB Competizione. And, beneath the desperately beautiful surface, the California Spyder was essentially the same car – a potent and sophisticated twelve-cylinder sports car that most manufacturers could only dream of rivalling, on the racetrack or on the road. “The California Spyder was a potent and sophisticated twelve-cylinder sports car that most manufacturers could only dream of rivalling, on the racetrack or on the road.” A jaw-droppingly pretty drop-top 1950/60s Ferrari with all the glamour and celebrity sex appeal that comes with it, the 250 GT California Spyder is entirely befitting of its hallowed status not just in Ferrari spheres, but in the broader collector-car world in general. The 27th of the 50 250 GT LWB California Spyders built by Ferrari, chassis number 1425 GT was not exported to the United States but instead remained in Italy – more specifically Naples, with a distinguished lady by the name of Livia Mustica. An open-headlight 1959 model originally finished in white over a black interior, this late-production California Spyder benefitted from the more resolved Scaglietti coachwork, the enhanced Tipo 508D chassis and the latest (and most powerful) Tipo 128D variant of the Colombo V12. The latter was complemented by two desirable optional extras: the cold airbox, designed to force-feed cooler and denser air to the engine, and the competition-inspired velocity stacks. From a visual perspective, this Ferrari’s engine bay is indistinguishable from that in the 250 GT LWB ‘Tour de France’. We think it’s worth noting that chassis number 1451 GT, which was produced two cars behind ‘ours’ at the factory and also an open-headlight model, finished fifth overall in the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans. The California Spyders may have been beautiful, but they were thinly disguised racers at heart. So pleased was Ferrari with how chassis number 1425 GT turned out that it borrowed the car for a commercial photo shoot in the pretty port of Naples. A hastily applied cardboard dealer number plate was affixed for the occasion, which resulted in some excellent photographs for the press to feast on. Almost a decade after it was delivered, in 1968, this 250 GT LWB changed hands, remaining in Naples. And a year after that, the Ferrari was acquired by Tom Meade. If you’re unfamiliar with Meade, his story is a fascinating one. A native Californian who’d spent his impressionable adolescence in Australia, Meade made the pilgrimage to Italy’s Motor Valley in 1960, dreaming of one thing and one thing only: owning a Ferrari or a Maserati. “Meade made the pilgrimage to Italy’s Motor Valley in 1960, dreaming of one thing and one thing only: owning a Ferrari or a Maserati.” Over the course of the following decade, Meade truly immersed himself in Italy’s history-steeped automotive industry, shrewdly negotiating to buy a series of road and competition Ferraris and Maseratis, either for restoration, customisation or export to America. He convinced Medardo Fantuzzi of the famed Carrozzeria Fantuzzi to teach him the art of panel beating – an art he employed to build his own short series of bespoke coach-built one-offs, romantically christened the Thomassimas. Upon receiving this Ferrari, Meade repainted the car red and refashioned the nose from open-headlight configuration to closed. He then contacted an acquaintance back in California by the name of Jack Castor, to let him know that chassis 1425 GT was available to be viewed in Modena. A young Lockheed aerospace engineer looking to buy his first Ferrari, Castor had learned about Tom Meade and his Italian offerings from a colleague at work, who received the hotly-anticipated bulletins from Tom Meade’s Used Sports Car Center of Italy. Like a moth to a flame, Castor arranged to fly to Europe, even securing a loan against his Volkswagen Beetle beforehand so he could afford to buy the 3,000-dollar California Spyder and ship it home. Sure enough, when Meade took Castor to see chassis 1425 GT in a small one-car garage in rural Modena, Castor knew it was the car for him. He didn’t even need to see or hear it running. It was love at first sight. As the accompanying documentation attests, on 11 August 1969, this Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spyder set sail from Genova aboard the SS Paolo d’Amico, bound for San Francisco. After what we imagine would have been an agonisingly long wait for Castor, not even the slightly damaged windscreen could diminish his overwhelming sense of pride. With a new windscreen shipped directly from Carrozzeria Scaglietti in Modena (we even have all the documentation relating to the shipping, customs and insurance for this), Castor spent a decade sampling the virtues of his scarlet sensation on ‘an occasional basis’. That was until a minor mechanical malady prompted him to take the Ferrari temporarily off the road. Well.. what he thought was temporarily. Chassis number 1425 GT remained tucked up in Jack Castor’s garage in San Francisco for the next 25 years. During this time, Castor satisfied his intrepid side by travelling the world and his appetite for collecting by amassing almost 20 further classic cars, including the famous ex-Elvis Presley BMW 507, which has since been fully restored by the factory. The Ferrari, however, remained the crowning piece of his eclectic collection. Only after the dawn of the New Millennium did Castor decide to return the car to the road, turning to the widely-renowned US-based Ferrari specialist Patrick Ottis to carry out a sympathetic mechanical refresh. Preserved in remarkably original condition and by this point running as well as it ever had, this 250 GT LWB California Spyder was driven far more in its second life than it ever was in its first.

This Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 is one of the coveted Series 2 cars and was produced in March of 1966. Finished in a stunning shade of deep non-metallic blue, this is an excellent, largely original example of one of Ferrari’s quintessential V12-powered 2+2 grand touring cars. The shape for this 330 is attributed to Pininfarina, but the designer who is given credit for the shape is actually American Tom Tjaarda during his tenure at the famed design house. One of the few options on these cars when new was the choice between a set of Borrani wire wheels or Campagnolo alloys. This car is fitted with the single-lug Campagnolos, which gives the car a more modern appearance over the more classic wires. The interior is wrapped in beautiful cream leather, covering the seats, center console, and door cards. An original-style Blaupunkt radio is fitted in the center console with a single speaker behind an aluminum grille sitting below it. This car is fitted with power windows, and a full suite of gauges is affixed across the top of the wooden dashboard. The experience of driving this era of Ferrari is truly second to none- as you slide into the driver’s seat, you are greeted by a beautiful Nardi wood steering wheel, framing a large speedometer and tachometer built by Veglia. These Series 2 cars received an updated pedal box with suspended pedals, which make heel-toe downshifts simpler and allow you to feel instantly familiar with the car. Under the hood sits a 4-liter single overhead cam “Colombo” V12 rated for 300 horsepower and topped by a trio of Weber twin-choke carburetors. Power is then sent through a 5-speed manual gearbox out to the rear wheels. Under the hood, this 330 presents quite well, with the black crackle-coated cam covers, refinished to have the Ferrari logo, in bare aluminum. New-looking red sparkplug wires are fitted to the twin rear distributors, and some of the notoriously trouble-prone braided hoses look to have been replaced. The Colombo V12 is a thing of beauty and even more outstanding when you get to listen to it operating- this car with its combination of Weber carburetors and quad-exit Ansa exhaust, will put a smile on your face every time you press the throttle. For decades, the 2+2 Ferraris were deemed “uncool” by buyers, and thus, values remained low for far too long. Finally, people are seeing that these cars are just as beautiful as their 2 seat counterparts and, with the same underpinnings, provide a similar level of driving excitement. With that, values have been steadily climbing in recent years, but for someone looking to get into a vintage Ferrari they can drive and enjoy, cars like this 330 GT 2+2 still represent great value. 1966 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Initially introduced in prototype form at the 1957 Turin Motor Show, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale entered production in 1959 as a boutique coach-built version of the popular Giulietta. Bertone’s Franco Scaglione penned the aerodynamic coachwork, lifting various cues from his own Alfa Romeo BAT show cars, as well as the Disco Volante sports-racers. This finely presented example of the Giulietta Sprint Speciale is the 216th of 374 examples built in 1961. As clarified by a letter on file from Alfa Romeo’s Centro Documentazione, chassis number 177216 completed assembly in late October 1961, finished in Bluette paint, and it was sold one month later to a marque dealership in Lugano, Switzerland, called the Società per il Commercio dei Prodotti Alfa Romeo. By the 2000s, the Alfa Romeo had come into the possession of a collector residing in Belgium, by which time the coachwork had been repainted in red. The Giulietta was discovered there in 2010 by a Sprint Speciale enthusiast based in Indianapolis, and he bought the car and imported it to the United States. As documented by a lengthy thread on the Alfa Romeo Bulletin Board (Alfabb.com), the owner personally restored the Giulietta at great length, meticulously refurbishing or properly replacing every mechanical component. During this process, he discovered traces of the original Bluette paint, allowing him to conduct a paint-to-sample refinish of the coachwork in the beautiful original color. The interior was re-trimmed in a two-tone scheme of light grey and black, contributing to a particularly elegant color combination. In December 2019, the Giulietta was acquired by the consignor, one of the world’s foremost Alfa Romeo collectors. Under his careful watch the Sprint Speciale has been fastidiously maintained, and the car is well prepared for immediate driving enjoyment. It is important to note that the Giulietta retains the correct-type AR 00120 engine, which is believed to be the original unit. It is unusual to encounter a Sprint Speciale that has been treated to such a high level of restoration.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright Initially introduced in prototype form at the 1957 Turin Motor Show, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale entered production in 1959 as a boutique coach-built version of the popular Giulietta. Bertone’s Franco Scaglione penned the aerodynamic coachwork, lifting various cues from his own Alfa Romeo BAT show cars, as well as the Disco Volante sports-racers. This finely presented example of the Giulietta Sprint Speciale is the 216th of 374 examples built in 1961. As clarified by a letter on file from Alfa Romeo’s Centro Documentazione, chassis number 177216 completed assembly in late October 1961, finished in Bluette paint, and it was sold one month later to a marque dealership in Lugano, Switzerland, called the Società per il Commercio dei Prodotti Alfa Romeo. By the 2000s, the Alfa Romeo had come into the possession of a collector residing in Belgium, by which time the coachwork had been repainted in red. The Giulietta was discovered there in 2010 by a Sprint Speciale enthusiast based in Indianapolis, and he bought the car and imported it to the United States. As documented by a lengthy thread on the Alfa Romeo Bulletin Board (Alfabb.com), the owner personally restored the Giulietta at great length, meticulously refurbishing or properly replacing every mechanical component. During this process, he discovered traces of the original Bluette paint, allowing him to conduct a paint-to-sample refinish of the coachwork in the beautiful original color. The interior was re-trimmed in a two-tone scheme of light grey and black, contributing to a particularly elegant color combination. In December 2019, the Giulietta was acquired by the consignor, one of the world’s foremost Alfa Romeo collectors. Under his careful watch the Sprint Speciale has been fastidiously maintained, and the car is well prepared for immediate driving enjoyment. It is important to note that the Giulietta retains the correct-type AR 00120 engine, which is believed to be the original unit. It is unusual to encounter a Sprint Speciale that has been treated to such a high level of restoration. Accompanied by owner’s manuals, a tool roll, and a spare wheel, this faithfully restored and maintained example of the striking coach-built Giulietta would make a sensational addition to any Italian-themed garage, exemplifying the spirit of La Dolce Vita.

Lamborghini factory restoration Excellently documented Over 40 years with one owner FIVA Pass „Matching-Number“ As Ferrari did not meet his requirements, the Italian industrial magnate Ferrucio Lamborghini decided to produce his own sports car. Lamborghini only accepted the best technical solutions, which were not (yet) available from Ferrari at the time: Large V12 engines with four overhead camshafts and six twin carburettors, independent suspension all round on trapezoidal wishbones, etc. Two Italian grand masters of automotive engineering, Giotto Bizzarini and Giampaolo Dallara, did their best. The 400 GT was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 1966. Only 273 examples were produced between 1965 and 1968. According to available documents, the vehicle presented here was delivered in Portugal in 1967. Later the car was sold to Norway where it remained with one owner for more than 40 years. Its Norwegian owner had the car completely restored under his direction at the Lamborghini facto in accordance with its delivery specifications. Extensive documentation on the history of the car and the restoration process is available. The car has now been with its current owner in Germany since 2007. The vehicle presents itself in first-class condition. A rare opportunity to acquire one of the best and most thoroughbred GT cars of the 1960s. Equipment: 5-speed gearbox 4x disc brakes Borrani spoked wheels Engine: V12 engine with four overhead camshafts, 3,929 cm³, 320 hp, max. speed 260 km/h.

The Alfasud represented the first front-wheel drive model produced in series by Alfa Romeo. The Alfa Romeo plant in Pomigliano d’Arco near Naples was rebuilt and expanded for production. The location in the south of Italy was the godfather for the name “Alfasud”. The development of the entire project, including factory planning, was in the hands of the Austrian Rudolf Hruska, who had previously worked for Porsche and Fiat. The design was by Giorgio Giugiaro (who also designed the Golf 1), who founded his company Italdesign especially for this project. This Alfa Romeo Alfasud TI 1.5 was delivered in France. A few years ago it was sold to a passionate Alfa Romeo collector. Under his direction, the technology and the paintwork were carefully reworked with great attention to detail. It is an almost untouched original vehicle with a mileage of only 59,200 km. Due to its low mileage and its sensationally original bodywork, this is a unique opportunity to acquire the so-called “VW Golf of the South“. 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfasud 1.5 TI Thiesen Hamburg GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

According to the accompanying Aston Martin build sheet, this original DBS Vantage was delivered in 1969 via the Aston Martin agent Victor Palomo Monegal to its first owner in Alicante, Spain. The car remained in Spain until 2015, when it was acquired by a Hamburg-based collector. It subsequently underwent a full restoration—covering all mechanical and cosmetic aspects—carried out by renowned specialists including Spraytech and RS Williams. Of particular note is the original LHD layout in combination with the rare, factory-installed ZF 5-speed manual gearbox—a configuration realised in only a handful of cars and highly prized among collectors. The original engine was professionally uprated to 4.2-litre specification, resulting in an outstanding Aston Martin with well-documented provenance and exceptional presence. 1969 Aston Martin DBS Vantage Thiesen Hamburg GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
