1961 Volkswagen Beetle

Lot #201 (Sale Order 1 of 80)

The Volkswagen Beetle is truly a motoring icon. Launched in 1938 as the 'People's Car' it was designed to bring mobility to those of fairly modest means; the price brief to its designer, Dr Porsche, was that car had to be able to be sold for 100 Reichmarks. It remained in production in various guises all over the world for close to sixty years, and during its production life, the basic concept remained unaltered – although it underwent over 70,000 identifiable modifications. This stunning original Germany delivered example was delivered in late 1961 to the Volkswagen dealer Karl Mohr based in Kölner Düren in Germany. The Beetle has been fully restored in recent times and finished in Turquoise Green with a contrasting period-correct grey vinyl interior. The chrome work is fabulous, in fact the whole appearance of the car is very appealing. The car is said to drive very well with the more powerful 1500cc motor. Supplied with original books, invoices and service vouchers, this is a truly delightful little early Beetle which we feel will provide a huge amount of pleasure for its lucky next owner.

1970 Land Rover Series IIA 88

Lot #202 (Sale Order 2 of 80)

The successor to the successful Series I was the Series II, which saw a production run from 1958 to 1961. It came in 88 in (2,200 mm) and 109 in (2,800 mm) wheelbases. This was the first Land Rover to receive the attention of Rover’s styling department- Chief Stylist David Bache produced the familiar ‘barrel side’ waistline to cover the vehicle’s wider track and the improved design of the truck cab variant, introducing the curved side windows and rounded roof still used on current Land Rovers. The Series II was the first vehicle to use the well-known 2.25-litre petrol engine, although the first 1,500 or so short wheelbase (SWB) models retained the 52 hp (39 kW) 2.0-litre petrol engine from the Series I. This larger petrol engine produced 72 hp (54 kW) and was closely related to the 2.0-litre diesel unit still in use. This engine became the standard Land Rover unit until the mid-1980s when diesel engines became more popular. This fabulous example of a true icon of automotive history has benefitted from a very comprehensive restoration in recent years. This beautiful Series II is presented in the classic combination of Deep Bronze Green with the correct canvas tilt roof and black vinyl interior. Such is the quality of the restoration that we feel this must rank as one of the very best on the market today.

1958 MG A Roadster

Lot #203 (Sale Order 3 of 80)

By the time Le Mans came around the design of what would be known as the MGA had effectively been finalised, the race itself being little more than a useful opportunity to check that everything was as it should be. Conceived as a replacement for the traditional T-Series MGs, the MGA combined a rigid chassis with the Austin-designed, 1,489cc B-Series engine that had first appeared in the ZA Magnette. Initially, this engine produced 68bhp at 5,500rpm, though this was later raised to 72bhp at the same revs to further improve performance. Running gear was based on that of the TF, with independent front suspension and a live rear axle, but as far as its road manners were concerned, the far superior MGA was in an entirely different league. Clad in a stylish aerodynamic body and capable of topping 95mph, the MGA proved an instant hit, selling 13,000 units in its first full year of production. Attractive, stylish and guaranteed head-turner anywhere, the MGA is among the most desirable and driveable of classic post-war sports cars. They are also exceptionally user-friendly, being cheap to run and easily maintained by the home mechanic, with ample spares and service back-up provided by an extensive network of specialists. This delightful MGA Roadster is very attractively finished in British Racing green with a Beige leather interior and the traditional chrome wire wheels. The MGA is said to drive extremely well, no doubt aided by much recent maintenance. In particular, the engine has benefitted from a recent tune up, the carburettors rebuilt, and both a new water pump and radiator have been fitted. A really lovely driving and very attractive classic car to enjoy the summer months with.

1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Cabriolet

Lot #204 (Sale Order 4 of 80)

The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was produced between 1955 and 1974, with some 360,000 coupes and over 80,000 cabriolets made. What is certain is that it was the most beautiful car ever produced by the BeetleMeisters, what is unclear is exactly how the car was designed and conceived. Certainly, the initial idea was sparked by Dr Wilhelm Karmann, who was building the Beetle cabriolet, suggested to Ghia that a beetle-based sports car could be made and presented to VW for their approval. Several people claim a stake in the concept of the car, in addition to the obvious triumvirate of VW in Wolfsburg, Karmann in Osnabruck and Ghia in Turin. What is assured however is that this elegant design, considered by many to be way ahead of its time, holds a firm place in automotive design classics and the hearts and minds of many enthusiasts and collectors around the world. This fantastic Karmann Ghia Cabriolet was delivered in 1969 fitted with the 1500cc motor which powers the car today. The Karmann Ghia looks stunning in Toga White with its original Navy Blue leatherette interior, matching white wheels and chrome wheel covers. The chrome in fact is in very good condition all round. We love these Karmann Ghias; beautiful looks, good German engineering and very easy to drive and to maintain. The ideal classic? We think so!

1971 Simca 1200S Bertone

Lot #205 (Sale Order 5 of 80)

While not initially a performance car, by the end of its run the 1200 S Coupé in particular was starting to gain appreciation as a great-looking sports car that finally had the guts to delight enthusiastic drivers. The lovely shaped, all-steel and self-supporting body was built, just like the 1000 Coupé by the Italian master Bertone. His factory built this piece of Italian body artwork on a platform of the normal Simca 1000 coach. Because of capacity problems in the Simca factory at Poissy in France, the production of the Simca 1200 S Coupe went in 1970 to the NEKAF factory in Rotterdam, Holland. So Simca shipped the technical components and interior parts from Poissy. This particular Simca was sold new in Italy and remained in the Ravenna area until only last year. The 1200 S is the much rarer and more powerful version of the 1200 and 1000 Simca, this wonderful Bertone styled sports coupe would grace any significant collection.

1979 Ferrrai 308 GT4

Lot #206 (Sale Order 6 of 80)

Ferrari’s line of highly successful V8-engined road cars began with the 308 GT4 of 1973. Badged as a ‘Dino’, the all-new 308 GT4 2+2 superseded the preceding Dino V6. The newcomer’s wedge-shaped styling – by Bertone rather than the customary Pininfarina – was modern and up to date, absent were complaints about the performance of the 3.0-liter quad-cam V8 engine, which was then carried over to its successor. The angular styled GT4 was remarkable in its ability to hold the occasional rear passenger whilst maintaining a compact and aggressive appearance. In this respect, most agree that the GT4 was vastly superior to its successor the Mondial. The aggressive styling has aged well and when finished in a period colour, the result is quite sought after. The interior was luxuriously appointed with handsome Italian string. The wrap around instrument panel put the gauges and controls in close sight and reach and the centre console is reminiscent of the Daytona Coupe. This Particular GT4 was delivered new to Charles Pozzi in Paris, the French importer in 1975. One of the first cars fitted with air conditioning, this wonderful GT4 has been the subject of a sympathetic restoration – presented in good driving order and retaining a nicely patinated interior. A wonderful European delivery example of the GT4 offered with a sensible reserve.tails.

1961 Mercedes-Benz 190SL

Lot #207 (Sale Order 7 of 80)

For those insufficiently wealthy to afford its hyper-expensive, race-bred sports car – the 300SL – Mercedes-Benz offered the less exotic but no less refined 190SL. Announced in 1954 and based on the 180 saloon, whose all-independently-suspended running gear it used, the 190SL did not enter production until January 1955, the delay being caused by alterations aimed at strengthening the saloon’s shortened platform to compensate for the open body’s reduced stiffness. “Very few new sports cars have been so eagerly awaited or so long in coming as the moderately priced SL version of the Mercedes-Benz,” observed Road & Track magazine. Mounted on a detachable subframe along with the four-speed manual gearbox, front suspension and steering, the power unit was a 1,897cc overhead-camshaft four, the first such engine ever to feature in a Mercedes-Benz. Breathing through twin Solex downdraft carburettors, this M121 power unit produced 105bhp at 5,700rpm, an output sufficient to propel the 190SL to 100km/h in 14.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 171km/h. The fact that the 190’s ride was more boulevard than sporting, and that many contemporary sports cars could outperform it while costing a good deal less, did nothing to deter sales. The model was a big hit in the US, where a good percentage of the slightly fewer than 26,000 produced between 1955 and 1963 found homes. This Mercedes Benz 190 SL stands out in view of condition and documentation. Since its re- import from the US in 1992 the car has had three fastidious owners in Germany, the last one and current vendor since 2012. It has been completely restored by German specialists with full supporting documentation in 1992/93. The second German owner from 2006 – 2012 embarked on a further restoration at F. Wallner of Munich to achieve perfection in every respect including a full respray in metallic silver. Since being in the ownership of its last custodian, the car received an annual inspection and maintenance as necessary. This matching numbers 190 SL comes with a wealth of documentation including an expert report showing condition 1, set out in three folders. Needless to say that this elegant Mercedes SL is in mint condition throughout, starts on the button and has a TÜV to 2018. A superb collectors investment and not to be missed. All documents available in the cars file.

2005 Ferrari F430 F1 Spider

Lot #208 (Sale Order 8 of 80)

Manufactured from 2004 until 2009, the Ferrari F430 was the successor to the enormously successful 360M. According to its creators, the F430 was at least 70% new compared with the 360. It had a new engine, a new F1 gearbox, a new diff and a brand-new chassis, and although the styling is obviously reminiscent of the 360M’s, in reality, it’s pretty much a ground-up design. Only the bonnet, doors, and roof were carried over; the rest, even the door mirrors, were all new and largely the work of Pininfarina, overseen by Ferrari’s design chief, Frank Stephenson. The F430’s complex variable-valve-timing system is also lifted straight from the Enzo’s V12, and as ever there is dry-sump lubrication, a very high compression ratio (11.3:1), a variable airflow plenum chamber and an enormous electronic brain making the decisions in the form of not one, but two, Bosch Motronic ME7 ECUs. At 483bhp it has a significant 21% more power than the 360. Its fabulous 4.3-litre V8 will rocket this very sleek Ferrari from 0-62mph in just 3.7 seconds and on to a maximum speed in excess of 196mph. Having been designed initially with a later convertible in mind, the arrival of the Spider in 2005 was no surprise. Weighing only a few pounds more than the Berlinetta and having been designed with the aid of the company’s F1 aerodynamicists, the Spider is just as slippery and its top speed is only a few miles an hour less. The ingenious electric soft-top mechanism works really quickly and makes its predecessor seem almost ponderous by comparison. A soft top was chosen as opposed to a Mercedes-style folding steel panel as Ferrari wanted its glorious red-top engine to remain in view. This stunning 430 Spider was delivered new in 2005 to its first owner in France, finished in a beautiful shade of Grigio Titanio (Ferrari no. 2138) with a burgundy leather interior. During its lifetime the 430 has been well maintained and as such is supplied with relevant service records. In particular we note that the car has recently enjoyed a service to the tune of €16,000, with only 500 kilometres having been completed since. As you can imagine the 430 drives extremely well with an intoxicating V8 soundtrack. This 430 Spider has clearly been well cared for and is especially desirable in the colour combination specified.

1962 CITROEN 2CV

Lot #208A (Sale Order 9 of 80)

The Citroën 2CV or ‘deux chevaux’ (two horsepower) was an economy car produced by the French car maker Citroën from 1948-1990. It was technologically advanced and innovative but with uncompromisingly utilitarian and unconventional looks. Its deceptively simple Bauhaus inspired bodywork belied the sheer quality of its underlying engineering. It was designed to move the French peasantry on from horses and carts and is considered one of Citroën’s most iconic cars. In 1953, ‘Autocar’ in a technical review of the car, wrote of, “…the extraordinary ingenuity of this design, which is undoubtedly the most original since the Model T Ford”. It was described by CAR magazine journalist and author L. Setright as “the most intelligent application of minimalism ever to succeed as a car.” It was designed for low cost, simplicity of use, versatility, reliability, and off-road driving. For this it had a light, easily serviceable engine, extremely soft, long travel suspension (with adjustable ride height), high ground clearance and for oversized loads, a car-wide canvas sunroof. This fantastically original 2CV, first registered in April 1962 to Belgium, and has had only one Belgian owner for many years. The 2CV has never been restored, and is we feel an excellent prospect for full restoration. The 2CV is offered with original Belgian papers and bill of sale from 1976.

1986 Porsche 911 Turbo

Lot #209 (Sale Order 10 of 80)

Beginning in the early 1970s, Porsche had demonstrated the worth of an exhaust-driven turbine for developing tremendous power for a given engine displacement, astounding the racing community with its World Endurance Championship-winning 917s. The company was quick to adapt turbocharging to its Group 4 Type 934 and Group 5 Type 935 racing coupes, basing those ferocious machines on the street-driven Type 930. Throughout the later 1970s and into the 1980s, the 930 evolved into an ever-more sophisticated, luxurious, and powerful road car. By 1987, the Turbo boasted a 3.3-liter engine, which was connected to a smooth four-speed manual transaxle and could produce 282 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 289 foot-pounds of torque at 4,000 rpm, The ventilated brake rotors were drilled for increased efficiency, and a large intercooler was housed within the “Tea-tray” rear spoiler. The 1987 930 Turbo, of which 1,695 were built for the U.S. market and another 786 for the “Rest of the World” (RoW), was capable of a near-160 mph top speed. Type 930. 282 bhp, 3,164 cc SOHC horizontally opposed air-cooled six-cylinder engine with a single turbocharger and Bosch electronic fuel injection, Type 930/36 four-speed manual transmission, independent front and rear suspension, and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes. This beautiful original Porsche 911 Turbo is finished in the traditional Porsche colour scheme of Grand Prix white, complemented by a black leather interior. This Turbo is described by the vendor as being in good all-round condition and is supplied with the four speed gearbox a UK V5C Document and an Mot until June 2018 amongst other paper work included in the history file. A great example of one of the poster cars of the ‘80s.

1947 Triumph 1800 Cabriolet

Lot #210 (Sale Order 11 of 80)

The 1800 Roadster was designed in the closing days of World War II. Triumph had been bought by the Standard Motor Company in 1944, and the managing director of Standard, Sir John Black, wanted a sports car to take on Jaguar, who had used Standard engines in the pre-war period. After getting Black’s approval for the general shape, Frank Callaby worked with Arthur Ballard to design the details of the body. Early post-war steel shortages meant that the body was built from aluminium, using rubber press tools that had been used making panels for the largely wooden bodied Mosquito bomber that had been built by Standard during the war. The engine was a version of Standard’s 1.5-litre, four-cylinder side-valve design that had been converted to overhead valves by Harry Weslake and built by Standard exclusively for SS-Jaguar before World War II. The Triumph version differed from the Jaguar version in having a 6.7:1 compression ratio instead of the Jaguar’s 7.6:1 and a downdraught Solex carburettor instead of the Jaguar’s side-draught SU. A four-speed gearbox with synchromesh on the top three ratios was used. The tubular steel chassis was a short-wheelbase version of the 1800 saloon, featuring transverse leaf sprung independent suspension at the front and a live axle with semi-elliptic springs at the rear. The rear track was wider than the front by some 4 inches. Brakes were hydraulic. On test by Autocar magazine in 1947 the top speed was found to be 75 mph and 0–60 mph took 34.4 seconds. Evidently keen to be positive without misleading their readers, the magazine described the maximum speed as “satisfying but not startlingly high”. This Triumph 1800 cabriolet with the much loved dickey seats to the rear, is nicely presented after an expenditure of ca. €20,000, invoices for which are available in the history file. Having been imported to Germany from England in 2009, TRD 868 was registered to a German historic registration and has a TÜV to April 2018. Surely good value, if not a snip at the estimate here and not to be missed, this is becoming a rare car and is just right for summer use and a lot of fun.

1955 Ford Thunderbird

Lot #211 (Sale Order 12 of 80)

Conceived to challenge Chevrolet’s Corvette sports car, the iconic Thunderbird debuted in October 1954 and was one of the first models produced with Ford’s new overhead-valve V8 engine. Introduced in two-seat ‘personal car’ form, the Thunderbird was intended to appeal to image-conscious younger customers, and beat the Corvette hands down in the sales war thanks to its superior V8 engine and greater refinement. A low, sleek two-seater, the Thunderbird offered amenities not found in the competing Chevrolet Corvette, most particularly rollup windows, offering comfort and convenience options tailored to an affluent market. Ford’s product planners hit the market dead centre and over 16,000 Thunderbirds were assembled in the 1955 model year. Finished in Black with black and white interior, this elegant and iconic Thunderbird is described by the vendor to be in good to excellent condition throughout. It has received a mechanical restoration within the last few years that included overhauling the brakes, steering, cooling system, 12v electrics, windows, seats, servo continental kit and radio. A car that is on the button and ready to be enjoyed by its next owner!

1964 Maserati 3500 GT

Lot #212 (Sale Order 13 of 80)

In 1957 Maserati enjoyed its most successful season in motor racing when Fangio won the World F1 Championship in a lightweight 250F and the mighty 450S sports-racer came within an ace of winning the World Sports Car Championship. Such success normally calls for celebration and the planning of the next move but Maserati’s parent company had invested heavily in Argentina and the overthrow of Presiden Juan Peron in 1955 had caused a severe cash-flow crisis, so at the end of its most glorious season in the sport Maserati had to withdraw to concentrate on becoming a profit centre in the Orsi group of companies. The writing had been on the wall for some time and Maserati was prepared. As the racing side wound down so it set on the road to becoming, for the first time in its history, a significant maker of high quality sports cars. Over the next few years Maserati would challenge Ferrari as a maker of road cars and perhaps the reason why Ferrari finally drew ahead was not mechanical competence but the close relationship with Pininfarina. There could hardly be any question about the mechanical competence since the Maserati 3500 GT was designed by Giulio Alfieri, who was the best all round designer of his day. In creating a road car, Alfieri was able to draw on a 3,486 c.c. dohc straight six, derived from the sports-racing 350S unit and half-sister of the engine which had powered Fangio to the World Championship. This originally drove through a four-speed ZF gearbox but a five-speed ‘box was optional from 1960, standard from 1961, and this car has one. The tubular chassis was recognisably the descendent of the classic Maserati A6/1500 but the live rear axle was suspended on semi-elliptics. Front disc brakes were optional in 1959 (ahead of Ferrari, naturally) and standard in 1960. Typical of Alfieri’s pioneering, Lucas fuel injection was fitted from 1961 and this gave a small power increase, when it worked. This car has triple Weber carburettors, which are completely reliable and produce a much nicer sound! This fabulous example has been the subject of a full restoration between 2012 and 2016. Presented in grey metallic with cognac interior, this surely is one of the finest examples of this iconic marque on the market today. The engine has to be seen to be believed and these sports cars still turn heads today as they did back in the 1960s when first produced.

1992 Porsche Carrera 964 RS Coupe

Lot #213 (Sale Order 14 of 80)

Representing a major step forward in the development of Porsche’s perennial 911, the Carrera 4 and Carrera 2 (‘Type 964’ in factory parlance) had been launched in 1989, the former marking the first time that four-wheel drive had been seen on a series-production model. Porsche had experimented with four-wheel drive on the 959 supercar, and many of the lessons learned from the latter influenced the design of the new Carreras’ chassis and suspension. Face-lifted but retaining that familiar shape, the newcomers had been given a more extensive work-over mechanically, 87% of parts being claimed as entirely new. The pair shared the same 3.6-litre, flat-six engine, while power-assisted steering (another 911 ‘first’), anti-lock brakes and a five-speed manual transmission were standard on both, with the Tiptronic auto gearbox a Carrera 2-only option. Its new engine enabled the 964 to out-perform the old ‘3.2’ yet still met the latest emissions regulations, top speed increasing to 162mph with 60mph attainable in 5.4 seconds (5.6 seconds Tiptronic). Evoking memories of the legendary 2.7 and 3.0-litre RS and RSR ‘homologation specials’ of the 1970s, in 1992 Porsche introduced a Type 964 Carrera RS, which was a lightweight variant like its illustrious forebears. It was based on the ‘Carrera Cup’ competition car and sold in the European market only. The Carrera RS retained the 3.6-litre engine, which was boosted in maximum output to 260bhp. The Porsche 964 RS is already a collector’s item and finding a superb example like the one on offer here might be considered difficult, the fact that this car has come to us from its first and only owner makes it even more special. Finished in rare ruby star livery, the car is a matching numbers German example with a total mileage of ca. 112,000 kms from new. This is supported by its full service and documented history. Described as being in near perfect condition, this is a rare opportunity to buy an honest 964 RS which has not been through a catalogue of owners.

1983 Ferrari 512i Berlinetta Boxer

Lot #214 (Sale Order 15 of 80)

Ferrari’s newest Berlinetta Boxer model was introduced at the 1981 Frankfurt Salon, and although it appeared to be very similar to the outgoing model from a distance, its biggest change was found under the rear clamshell and in the new model’s nomenclature. The 512 BBi replaced the 512 BB’s four Weber carburettors with a Bosh K-Jetronic fuel-injection system, hence the “i” in 512 BBi. This upgrade proved the 512 BBi to be much more user-friendly, making the car not only easier to start but also easier to maintain. For many clients, the addition of the fuel injection was a welcome change, and the 512 BBi is often considered to be the most liveable of Ferrari’s Berlinetta Boxer models. The 512 BBi also received a handful of cosmetic updates, including fitting exposed driving lights in the nose, shortening the aluminium egg-crate grille, and fitting rectangular parking lights in a new shroud for the exhaust at the rear. Just 1,007 examples were built from 1981 to 1984, before production transitioned to the Testarossa. Unusually this late European-delivered example was specified from new with special wool interior inserts styled by world renowned fabric mill owner Ermenegildo Zegna. Wool was chosen for ”even better comfort, eliminating the inevitable build-up of heat from seats totally covered in leather.” It is believed that only 27 cars were specified with this interior, and this being the first of that production run. Interestingly the BB was owned for some time by a prominent Japanese businessman who in the late 1990s was undertaking some trading with a Belgian counterpart. The Belgian, upon visiting his Japanese colleague’s house during a business trip, was greeted with the sight of the Ferrari displayed right in the middle of his living room with a magnificent view onto the Japanese garden. After lots of persuasion he finally managed to acquire the prized BB and bring it back into Europe. Now showing a mere 21,000 kilometres recorded, the BB has recently benefited from servicing work to the tune of c. €20,000. Offered with relevant books, and finished in Nero with the contrasting red leather and wool interior, this is by far one of the nicest Ferrari BBs that Coys have seen. A truly collectors-grade example of the iconic Boxer.

1998 Ferrari F355

Lot #215 (Sale Order 16 of 80)

“Complex, sophisticated, and very fast, it is the quantum leap that has enabled the Ferrari V8 to run in proud parallel with the 456GT and 550 Maranello,” enthused Car magazine’s review of the F355. First presented to the motoring press in May 1994, the F355 effectively re-forged the reputation of Ferrari’s V8 which, 328 and 348 notwithstanding, had suffered since the introduction of the Mondial ‘world car’. The latter, with its four seats, well-appointed interior, and relatively soft ride, was considered far too sensible to be a ‘proper’ Ferrari; the F355 though, was cast in the mould of that great driver’s car, the Dino 246GT. Just how great an advance it was may be gauged from the fact that the F355’s best time around Ferrari’s Fiorano test track was three seconds quicker than the formidable 512 TR. Despite its prodigious performance the F355 was no mere ‘racer on the road’ but a thoroughly modern automobile. It employed state of the art technology, in the form of computer controlled variable damping to reconcile the differing requirements of ultimate road holding and acceptable comfort. A light action clutch, proportional power-assisted steering, and driver’s air bag were other features included to make the car reassuringly user friendly. The heart of the F355 though, is its phenomenal 3.5-litre V8 engine. Equipped with four overhead camshafts and five valves per cylinder, a layout borrowed from Ferrari’s Formula 1 engine, this remarkable unit produced a claimed 370bhp at 8,250rpm, with 268lb/ft of torque available from 5,000 to 6,500rpm. A six-speed gearbox, mounted transversely behind the longitudinally disposed engine, ensured a sufficiency of ratios to keep the motor on the boil whatever the situation Still presented in its original first paint of Argento Nürburgring with dark blue interior, the mechanics are described to be in excellent condition throughout with the paintwork and trim resembling a mere 25,000km having been travelled from new. Having been purchased by the current owner directly from the President of the Ferrari Club, Germany, the car has been immaculately looked after and comes with a history file that includes a current TÜV due to expire in September 2018, its original books, service history and a valuation by Classic Data. The vehicle itself has been valued at €105,000 with a condition report of 2+ and is fitted with nearly-new tires, Scuderia emblems, sports exhaust and its original radio and CD player. Simply put the car is in excellent condition throughout and has undergone an extensive service including replacing the timing belt, all liquids, fitment of rear wheels, new hood dampers, new hoses and overworking of all adhesive plastic parts. With little over 25,000km from new, this must be one of the best examples of the iconic F355 spider on the roads today.

1966 Lancia Fulvia Sport 1800

Lot #216 (Sale Order 17 of 80)

Launched in 1961, the Flavia saloon maintained Lancia’s enviable reputation for advanced and innovative automotive engineering. Designed by Antonio Fessia and inspired by his Cemsa prototype of 1947, the Flavia was Italy’s first series-production car to employ front-wheel drive. Carried well forward of the front wheels, the engine was a 1,488cc, overhead-valve, horizontally-opposed four; suspension was independent at the front and by beam axle at the rear, and there were dual-circuit, servo-assisted disc brakes all round. The saloon was joined by the shorter-wheelbase Pininfarina-styled Coupé in 1962, the latter providing the basis for a convertible version by Vignale, while Zagato designed an outlandish-looking light weight two-door sport version. An attractive four-seater sports car, the Convertible enjoyed the stability, comfort, and handling virtues common to the rest of the range. In 1963 the range was updated with a 1,800cc engine, which when installed in the Coupé and Convertible produced 92bhp, good enough for a top speed of 173km/h. Traditionally clothed in aluminium by Zagato, this third series Flavia Sport comes with the larger 1800cc engine and more practical fuel injection. We are reliably informed that in this specification, the Lancia Flavia was only produced 38 times. This rare example left the factory in Italy in 1966 and the original Italian registration document is available. The car was restored in 2012 and is presented in silver-blue livery with a black interior. A stunning combination and in totally mint condition throughout, the car is also supplied with the Italian OSI certificate and German historic registration documents. Definitely a very rare and superb example and not to be missed.

1973 Porsche 911 2.4 T Coupe

Lot #217 (Sale Order 18 of 80)

The 911T was added to the Porsche line up in 1968 as the “Touring” form of the 911. The 911T had the 2.0-litre engine, but with only 110bhp. The T was the “base” model, costing 10% less that its more powerful brother, the 911S. As of 1969, the 911T got the 2” lengthening in its wheelbase as did the other 911S. It retained its Weber carburettor while the other 911S received mechanical fuel injection. 1970 brought on the first engine displacement increase, to 2.2L (2,195cc). That upped the output to 125bhp. For both ‘70 and ‘71, the engine had Zenith carbs, and kept the same compression ratio of 8.6:1. Until 1972, all 911T models had a different transmission than the 911S and 911E. In 1972, the 911S received 2.4-litres (2,341cc) and the 911T output 140bhp at 5,600 rpm. This wonderful matching numbers 911 2.4”T” we offer is fitted with the desirable sunroof option and has in recent years been comprehensively restored, and mechanically overhauled. Included in the history file are numerous photos documenting the restoration work. Finished in the very chic colour combination of Ivory White with black “Pepita” interior, the bodywork is in great condition, and we are pleased to note that the 911 is fitted with some special factory options including sports seats, sunroof, stabilizer bars, electric windows and a comfort package. This well specified example is Porsche certified and ready to enjoy!

1979 Ferrari 308 GTS

Lot #218 (Sale Order 19 of 80)

The Ferrari 308 GTB, introduced at the 1975 Paris Motor Show, marked a significant change for the company from Maranello. Powered by a mid-mounted transverse V-8, the 308 opened up a market segment unexplored by Ferrari, which had aimed its products solely at an elite clientele. As a successor to the V-6 Dino, the 308 was powered by a 240 horsepower 3.0-liter four-cam 90-degree V-8 transversely mounted ahead of the rear axle. The four cams were driven by toothed belts and the engine was fitted with a quartet of Weber twin-choke carburettors. A five-speed all-synchromesh rear transaxle was included, and the chassis, with fully independent front and rear suspension, was much like the Dino’s, including the 92.1-inch wheelbase. A GTS variant was unveiled at the 1977 Frankfurt Motor Show, featuring an open targa roof. Bosch fuel injection arrived at the end of 1980, and the adoption of four-valve per cylinder technology came two years later. Thanks to the popularity of the Magnum, P.I. television series, this is to many, the quintessential Ferrari. This beautiful Ferrari 308 GTS was delivered new to a Mr. McAdam in Santa Monica, California in 1979, by Hollywood Sport Cars Incorporated. Since being repatriated into the EU the 308 has benefitted from a cosmetic refresh and repaint. Finished in the classic colours of Rosso Corsa with a tan leather interior, the Ferrari presents very well, with good panel gaps all round, and is very clean underneath. Over the years the 308 has always been very well maintained, and as such drives very nicely. Offered with original service and instruction booklets, this is a very original example of one of Ferraris most usable and enjoyable sportscars.

1976 Porsche 911 G-Series Carrera RS

Lot #219 (Sale Order 20 of 80)

Immediately after the legendary 1973 Carrera RS finished production a series of Carreras were built for the European market that were equivalent to the M472 optioned 73 RS Touring models. This rare and desirable Porsche was the G-series Carrera 2.7 MFI which used the same 911/83 RS mechanically fuel injected (MFI) engine that produced 210 bhp. The major difference between these Carreras and the RS was that they were built with the “G-series” body and interior instead of the earlier long hood form. The weight of the G-Series Carrera MFI was also 1075 kg like the 1973 RS Touring cars. All 1974 Carrera MFI cars either came with a ducktail or tail delete, while 1975 and later Carrera MFI either came with the whale tail or tail delete. What makes the early 911s, Carrera RS, and the 2.7-liter “euro” Carrera so interesting and thrilling to drive is the Bosch Mechanical Fuel Injection (MFI) setup. The glorious sound and instantaneous throttle response has a remarkable feel compared to the computerized injection systems of the 70s and 80s. In the December 1974 issue of Motor magazine the Carrera 2.7 MFI was extensively tested and they measured a 0-60 mph time of 5.5 seconds. Porsche built only 123 Coupes and 30 Targas in 1976, as can be seen on the attched letter from the Porsche – Works, dated 24.02. 1999 These cars were never imported by Porsche into North America. The strict US emissions laws required smog equipment that drastically impacted the performance of the 2.7-liter motor. The US version of the Carrera in 1974-1975 used the significantly less powerful CIS (K-Jetronic) based injection engines to meet the California and US emission standards. This particular G series Carrera RS, was delivered new through the Porsche dealer Mahag Munchen in June 1976. As certified by Porsche in the cars file, it was finished in black, with a ‘kunstleder schwarz’ / black interior, with option code M481 a desirable five speed gearbox. Invoices within the cars file account for its first engine rebuild in August 1990, through worldwide recognised tuners RUF Automobile GmbH. The invoice totals over 45,000 DM for this alone. In its most recent history chassis 6609061 has resided within a significant European collection, and , as you would expect with a car of this pedigree is described to be in excellent condition and highly original. The car was subject to a re-sprayed in 2010, and the engine was once again overhauled at a cost of € 7,500 by Kobus Tuning in 2013. The car has covered very little mileage since. Collectors must remember the bloodlines of the 1976 Carrera 2.7 MFI – it was the last street car Porsche ever produced with mechanical fuel injection. In fact there were only three MFI based cars produced by Porsche after 1976, all race cars. First were the ten turbocharged Porsche 934 ½, then Porsche 935 built for Group 5 , later, the twenty 3.0-liter 911 SC/RS (954) rally cars built in 1984 to compete in Group B. With its 210 hp Carrera RS engine, this matching numbers, original colour combination G series Carrera RS is for the most discerning collector or Porsche connoisseur. One of 123 produced presented in excellent condition throughout and not to be missed before the car follows suit of its 1973 elder brother.

1963 Austin Healey 3000 MkIIA

Lot #220 (Sale Order 21 of 80)

The enlargement of its C-Series six-cylinder engine to 2,912cc, and the adoption of Girling front disc brakes, differentiated the new-for-1959 Austin-Healey 3000 from the preceding 100/6. In 3000 form the rugged Austin six delivered 124bhp at 4,600rpm, good enough for a top speed (in overdrive) of 114mph. Otherwise, the car remained much as the 100/6, though the more-powerful disc brakes were a welcome improvement. The original 3000 was built from March 1959 to March 1961 as models BN7 Mark I (2-seater) and BT7 Mark I (2+2 version), becoming known as the Mark I after the Mark II was released. Robust and tuneable, in its time the Big Healey was immensely popular with privateer racers and ralliers. Today, forty years after production ceased, Healey 3000s continue to be extensively campaigned in historic motorsport, both in tarmac events and on the rough stuff. Replicas of the works rally cars are among the most sought-after variants, and an extensive cottage industry of recognised specialists exists to cater for the demand for Austin-Healey parts, servicing and competition preparation. Finished in Red over Old English White, this lovely 3000 is fitted with the more desirable triple SU carburettors, and has benefitted from much restoration work. The Healey is presented very nicely inside and out, and must be said is a lovely example of one of Britain’s most successful sports cars. A real must for any serious collector.

1987 Porsche 911 Turbo

Lot #221 (Sale Order 22 of 80)

Beginning in the early 1970s, Porsche had demonstrated the worth of an exhaust-driven turbine for developing tremendous power for a given engine displacement, astounding the racing community with its World Endurance Championship-winning 917s. The company was quick to adapt turbocharging to its Group 4 Type 934 and Group 5 Type 935 racing coupes, basing those ferocious machines on the street-driven Type 930. Throughout the later 1970s and into the 1980s, the 930 evolved into an ever-more sophisticated, luxurious, and powerful road car. By 1987, the Turbo boasted a 3.3-liter engine, which was connected to a smooth four-speed manual transaxle and could produce 282 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 289 foot-pounds of torque at 4,000 rpm, The ventilated brake rotors were drilled for increased efficiency, and a large intercooler was housed within the “Tea-tray” rear spoiler. The 1987 930 Turbo, of which 1,695 were built for the U.S. market and another 786 for the ‘Rest of the World’, was capable of a near-160 mph top speed. The Porsche Turbo coupe on offer is presented in very good condition throughout, which is supported by an expert report from August 2016, showing a condition of 2 and a value of €110,000. Furthermore the car has just received a new TÜV valid to July 2019. With a mileage of ca. 70,000 this US model is described by its vendor as in excellent condition cosmetically and technically. Its engine and gearbox have never been out of the car, which has been re-sprayed in its original colour of black only once in its lifetime. The original Porsche stickers at the doors, under the bonnet etc. are still there and the original radio and steering wheel come with the car, which is ready to be enjoyed by its next lucky owner.

1973 Alfa Romeo 1600 GT by Zagato

Lot #222 (Sale Order 23 of 80)

Alfa Romeo produced just 402 Zagato Coachbuilt examples of the 1600 Junior Z between 1972 and 1975, of which just 121 cars are known to exist in the Zagato Register. As with its predecessor the Giulietta SZ, Zagato chose to base its new coupe on an Alfa Spider chassis rather than a GT chassis to take advantage of its lighter weight, shorter wheelbase and shorter front and rear overhangs. Zagato created a low drag aerodynamic fastback coupe featuring a very low frontal area, low roofline and fastback profile. As with its predecessor the Giulietta SZ, weight was minimized with several characteristic Zagato features such as an aluminum hood, ultra-lightweight bumpers, unique lightweight Zagato seats and a special lightweight dashboard devoid of a glove box door. The specially designated 1600 high performance Š—“SŠ— engines for the Junior Z were fitted with double twin choke Weber Carburetors and featured a unique Zagato Š—“Ram AirŠ— induction system fed by eight openings in the front clear headlight cover. The carŠ—Ès high performance mechanical specification and lightweight construction prohibited Alfa Romeo from originally offering the car in the United States. With bespoke Zagato features throughout including an electrically elevating rear hatch for low drag flow through ventilation and construction taking place at both Alfa Romeo and the Zagato coachworks, the Junior Z proved very expensive to produce resulting in just 402 examples being produced as compared to 3,917 Alfa Romeo Montreals. This Alfa Romeo GT Zagato comes with the larger 1600 cc engine and was imported from Italy to the Netherlands over 30 years ago, where it spends its life in a collection of mainly Italian sports cars. The car was restored extensively in 2007 and is described by its vendor to be in excellent condition throughout. It has also been featured in a Dutch article in 2014 by CitroMan in comparison to a Lancia Fulvia Sport, a copy of which is available in the cars file. Presented here with Dutch vehicle registration, this is indeed a superb specimen of the sought after Zagato clothed version and very desirable not only amongst the Alfisti fraternity.

1961 Jaguar XK150 Fixed Head Coupe

Lot #223 (Sale Order 24 of 80)

As its nomenclature suggests, the XK150 was a progressive development of the XK120 and XK140, retaining the same basic chassis, 3.4-liter engine and 4-speed Moss transmission of its predecessors while benefiting from a new, wider body that provided increased interior space and improved visibility courtesy of a single-piece wrap-around windscreen, replacing the XK140’s divided screen. Cleverly, the new body used many XK120/140 pressings, the increased width being achieved by means of a 4”-wide central fillet. A higher front wing line and broader radiator grille were other obvious differences, but the new model’s main talking point was its Dunlop disc brakes. Fade following repeated stops from high speed had been a problem of the earlier, drum-braked cars, but now the XK had stopping power to match its prodigious straight-line speed. Introduced in the spring of 1957, the XK150 was available at first only in fixed and drophead coupe forms, the open Roadster version not appearing until the following year. At 210bhp, the standard 3.4-liter engine’s maximum power output was identical to that of the XK140, so performance was little changed. Overdrive and a Borg-Warner automatic gearbox were the transmission options, the latter becoming an increasingly popular choice, while a Thornton Power-Lok limited-slip differential was available for the XK150S. This very well sorted XK150 Fixed Head Coupe was delivered new in 1961 to Special Equipment specification, and fitted with the larger 3.8 litre engine. The XK has enjoyed a detailed restoration by a Dutch Jaguar specialist approximately 15 years ago, and has covered only 12,000 kilometres since. During the restoration and upgrade work the motor was uprated to a 4.2 litre E-Type unit featuring a lightened flywheel and electronic ignition, and now delivers a healthy 265bhp. The motor is cooled with an aluminum radiator and additional bonnet louvres. The transmission has been uprated to a 5-speed unit, and power steering has been added. Ride and handling have been improved with Koni shock absorbers all round, while the braking system has also been uprated. Finally the Jaguar was treated to a rare and desirable set of Borrani wire wheels on each corner. Supplied with extensive history and invoices for works completed, this is an incredibly competent car for classic rallying or long distance touring holidays.

1975 Alfa Romeo 1300 Junior

Lot #224 (Sale Order 25 of 80)

The first of Alfa Romeo’s much-loved, Bertone-styled Coupes – the 1.6-litre Giulia Sprint GT – was launched in 1963. Mechanically, the stylish new 2+2 was much the same as the Giulia TI Sports Saloon, featuring a five-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension, coil-spring live rear axle and disc brakes all around. A 1300 model, the GT Junior, arrived in 1966, and the range was further extended the following year by the launch of the 1750 GTV, which was powered by a 1,799cc, 118bhp version of Alfa’s classic twin-cam four housed in a four-headlamp version of the existing bodyshell and running on 14” (down from 15”) wheels. Driver’s cars par excellence in true Alfa Romeo tradition, Bertone’s timelessly elegant Giulia-based coupes are among the most exciting sports models of the ‘60s and ‘70s and today all versions are highly sought after. Sold and delivered new to Italy this charming 1300 is finished in light powder blue. Mechanically reported by the vendor to be in very good condition , the attractive interior is highly original. Increasingly popular, these great Alfa Romeo GTs are the right mix between beautiful Bertone lines and sophisticated Italian power.

1974 Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2

Lot #225 (Sale Order 26 of 80)

‘Most important was the double overhead cam engine. Like Rolls-Royce, no horsepower figure was quoted, but surely it was at least 320. More important was its massive amount of torque. Taken together with the turbine-like characteristics of the V12 engine, it mattered little which gear one was in or at what speed.’ Stanley Nowak on the 356 GT4 2+2, ‘Ferrari on the Road’. Introduced towards the end of 1972, the 365 GT4 2+2 was the biggest and best equipped four-seater Ferrari so far. Flagship of the Maranello range, it reaffirmed Ferrari’s determination to compete with the world’s finest luxury saloons. Based on the preceding 365 GT 2+2, albeit lower, longer and wider, the newcomer was fitted with a four-cam version of the 4.4-litre V12 engine while retaining its predecessor’s mechanical underpinnings. A total of only 524 had been completed by the time production ceased in 1976. This very original and correct European-delivered Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 has been in the ownership of just two keepers and has covered only 102,000 kilometres from new. Only 521 examples were made in total making this a rather rare example in Ferrari production terms. The body is in very good overall condition, with perfect panel gaps, and the underside is very clean and solid. The 365 has been very well maintained over the years and is said to be in perfect working and driving order. We are pleased to note the car has recently been treated to a service including a rebuilt carburettor and a stainless-steel exhaust. Offered today with an original black leather interior showing nice patina and equipped with the original wheels and air conditioning, what a wonderful proposition for the Ferrari enthusiast.

1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale

Lot #226 (Sale Order 27 of 80)

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale (Tipo 750 SS/101.20, Italian for “Type 750 SS/101.20”) and Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale (Tipo 101.21), also known as Giulietta SS and Giulia SS were manufactured from 1959 to 1966. The first prototype of the Giulietta SS was presented in 1957 at the Turin Motor Show. After two more prototypes were presented in car shows, the official presentation of the production version for the press was on 24th June 1959 on the Monza race track. The first 101 cars produced had “low nose” and 750 SS designation. While there were some all-aluminium cars produced, the majority of these cars had steel bodies with aluminium doors, engine bonnet and boot lid. This wonderful matching numbers Giulietta Sprint Speciale was delivered when new to Belgium. In recent times the Alfa has benefitted from a comprehensive restoration, and is now presented beautifully in the classic Alfa colours of Rosso with a Nero interior. A stunning example of one of the most ground-breaking designs of the last century.

1988 Ferrari 328 GTS

Lot #227 (Sale Order 28 of 80)

The 328 succeeded the vaunted Ferrari 308 line-up, and when it appeared in 1985, it quickly became an icon of the roaring 1980s. Even though it was based on the 308, the 328 nonetheless boasted a cleaner and more focused appearance which was more in touch with the industry’s general push toward softened, aerodynamic designs. Of course, it retained its rear mid-engine layout, with a 3.2-litre, Tipo F105CB, eight-cylinder engine mounted just behind the driver and passenger. Similar to the 308 Quattrovalvole’s engine, the 328’s powertrain was upped to 3,185 cubic centimetres, and it used a Marelli electronic ignition system to boost output to a quoted 270 horsepower. Motivation was delivered to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox, resulting in the 328 being capable of sprinting to 60 mph from a standstill in under six seconds. Coming from an important collection, this late Ferrari 328 GTS is said to be in superb condition throughout and its mileage is a mere ca. 23,000 kms. This two owner 328 GTS is accident free and comes with a TÜV to 2019. A superb investment and already a sought after 8-cylinder Ferrari.

1963 Lancia Flavia 1.8 Pininfarina Coupe

Lot #228 (Sale Order 29 of 80)

The Lancia Flavia was developed by Professor Antonio Fessia in the late 1950’s, and introduced for sale in the UK in 1961. Initially available only as a four-door saloon, it featured a 1.5L aluminium boxer engine, Dunlop disc brakes on all four wheels, front-wheel drive and front suspension by unequal-length wishbones. This model was soon joined by a two-door coupé, designed by Pinninfarina on a shortened platform. Vignale built 1,601 two-door convertibles, while Zagato designed an outlandish-looking light weight two-door sport version. The sport version has twin carburetors for extra power (just over 100 hp/75 kW); however, this version of the engine was notoriously difficult to keep in tune. Later development of the engine included an enlargement to 1.8L, a mechanical injection version using the Kugelfischer system, and a five-speed manual gearbox. Towards the end of the 1960’s, when Fiat took control of the company, the Vignale and Zagato versions were discontinued. This Lancia Flavia 1,8 Pinninfarina Coupé was imported from Italy. It benefits from an extensive restoration of the engine and the body including new paint. This 2 + 2-seater coupe impresses with its wonderful driving performance and its timeless color combination “bianco / blue azzuro”. It has been driven just 50 km since it’s restoration.. A perfect coupe to enjoy the “Dolce Vita”

1963 Citroen DS Cabriolet

Lot #229 (Sale Order 30 of 80)

Just as it had done 21 years previously with the revolutionary ‘Traction Avant’, Citroën stunned the world again in 1955 with the launch of the strikingly styled ‘DS’. Beneath the shark-like newcomer’s aerodynamically efficient, low-drag bodyshell there was all-independent, self-levelling, hydro-pneumatic suspension; plus power-operated brakes, clutch and steering. No European car would match the DS’s ride quality for several years, the fundamental soundness of Citroën’s ahead-of-its-time hydro-pneumatic suspension being demonstrated by its survival in present-day top-of-the-range models. The DS’s original 1,911cc, overhead-valve, long-stroke engine was replaced in 1966 by a short-stroke 1,985cc unit, also available in 2,175cc and 2,347cc versions, while other DS developments included swivelling headlights, fuel injection and a five-speed gearbox. Other models offered alongside the original DS were the ID (a simplified, cheaper version), the cavernous Safari estate and the two-door Décapotable (convertible), the latter created by the celebrated Parisian coachbuilder Henri Chapron. The arrival of the Citroën DS in 1955 presented Chapron with a fresh opportunity that would result in his name being forever linked with this remarkable car. His first convertibles were produced independently of Citroën but the factory eventually gave the project its blessing, the factory-approved Décapotables being built on the longer, stronger chassis of the ID Break (Estate). In total, 1,365 (factory) convertibles were made with either the DS 19 or DS 21 engine between 1960 and 1971, while Chapron built a further 389 of his own, the last in 1973. First registered in May 1963, this stunning example was first registered to Switzerland when new. The DS has enjoyed a highly comprehensive restoration which is supported by a photographic record. Such is the quality of the finished car that this example was chosen by the publishers of Classic and Sportscar to be photographed in their studios in London. Beautifully finished in Metallic Grey with a Wine Red leather interior, the car presents itself very well indeed. DS Cabriolets are highly prized by collectors, and this example must rank as one of the very best.

1974 ASTON MARTIN V8 SALOON

Lot #229A (Sale Order 31 of 80)

Aston Martin had always planned that the DBS of 1967 would be powered by the company’s new V8 engine, first seen in 5-litre form in the works Lola-Aston Martin sports-racing cars. Production problems, however, intervened and the DBS used the 4-litre, twin overhead camshaft, straight six of the concurrently produced DB6. It was not until September 1967, that the DBS V8 was finally announced with production commencing the following April. With its platform chassis and independent suspension – coil spring/wishbone front, de Dion tube rear with Watt linkage and twin radius arms – the fine handling DBS was a perfect home for Tadek Marek’s all-alloy V8. Boasting four overhead camshafts and Bosch electronic fuel injection, the 5,340cc V8 produced an impressive 320bhp at 5,000rpm; the resultant 160mph plus performance was nothing short of sensational in 1970. After David Brown sold Aston Martin in February 1972, the DBS V8 was replaced by the Series II model, now simply called the Aston Martin V8. Gone were the four headlamps and slatted grille and in their place was a black mesh grille flanked by single headlamps. The major mechanical changes were limited to electronic ignition and standard air conditioning. One of only 967 examples built between 1973 and 1978, this stunning example is recognisable by its twin headlights, black grille and the pronounced air intake on the bonnet. We are pleased to note this stunning Aston is fitted with its original 310hp V8 and automatic gearbox, which when combined make for very nicely driving GT car. Finished in a striking combination of Navy Blue metallic with a contrasting grey leather interior, and offered with Dutch title papers, original owner’s manual and history file, this is a beautiful thoroughbred GT car which offers strong investment potential for the future.

1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Spider

Lot #230 (Sale Order 32 of 80)

Sporting elegant coachwork designed and built by Pininfarina, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider was a huge success and continued virtually unchanged in 1.6-litre Giulia guise when the latter joined the line-up in 1962. Launched at the Monza Autodrome on 27th June that year, the Giulia range was the work of a design team headed by one of the greatest of Italian automobile engineers, Dr Orazio Satta Puliga, who had been responsible for all the post-war Alfa Romeos. The capacity increase from 1,300 to 1,600cc boosted maximum power of Alfa’s classic twin-cam four from 80 to 92bhp and the car’s top speed to 109mph. Reliability was likewise enhanced and the larger engine was noticeably smoother and less fussy. A five-speed gearbox was standard on the Giulia 1600 Spider, which remained in production until 1966. Described by Cars Illustrated as ‘probably one of the most delightful small sports cars which will ever be produced,’ the Giulia Spider is certainly one of the most attractive Alfa Romeos of its day and remains highly regarded now. This beautiful example of the ever appreciating larger engined 1600 Giulia Spider has had only three owners form new and was subject to an extensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration in 2008-2011. The factory 1600cc Normale engine was rebuilt to Veloce specifications and having driven approximately 1,600km over the last year, the car remains in excellent condition throughout. Its last thorough service and inspection was completed 8 months ago. On top of stripping the car to bare metal for its respray, a coating of rust inhibitor was also applied to the underside. Numerous photos documenting the restoration are available on request. The AR00112 coded 1600 engine is correct for the car’s Normale specification and is believed to be original to the car. Fitted with a pair of Weber carburettors, it was given a complete rebuild in 2010 beyond standard Normale specifications, and is described by the seller to be a strong runner. An all-round excellent car and not to be missed.

*Regretfully Withdrawn* 1958 Jaguar XK150 SE

Lot #231 (Sale Order 33 of 80)

Few marques dominated racing like Jaguar in the 1950’s, winning Le Man in 1951, 1953, 1955, 1956, & 1957. Racing in the 1950’s sold cars. It didn’t take long for that which the all-conquering Jaguar had learned on the track to find its way into their road cars. “The Jaguar XK150 is undeniably one of the world’s fastest and safest cars. It is quiet and exceptionally refined mechanically, docile and comfortable… we do not know of any more outstanding example of value for money.” -The Autocar Cleverly, the new body used many XK120/140 pressings, the increased width being achieved by means of a 4”-wide central fillet. A higher front wing line and broader radiator grille were other obvious differences, but the new model’s main talking point was its Dunlop disc brakes. Fade following repeated stops from high speed had been a problem of the earlier, drum-braked cars, but now the XK had stopping power to match its prodigious straight-line speed. Introduced in the spring of 1957, the XK150 was available at first only in fixed and drop head coupe forms, the open Roadster version not appearing until the following year. At 210bhp, the standard 3.4-litre engine’s maximum power output was identical to that of the XK140, so performance was little changed. Overdrive and a Borg-Warner automatic gearbox were the transmission options, the latter becoming an increasingly popular choice, while a Thornton Power-Lok limited-slip differential was available for the XK150S. Previously owned by the famous Italian architect Marco Piva, this XK150 lead the life of a nobleman in Italy and was only used for longer trips on the odd occasion, just like a real Gran Tourismo, before it was washed, dried and taken back to the climate controlled garage. Its owners decided to have this elegant “family member” undergo a professional and extensive nut and bolt restoration between 2012 and 2014. This focused predominately on the cars mechanics as the body had suffered little as a result of the meticulous care of its fastidious owner. New parts and screws can be found down to the last detail, the wiring loom was renewed with modern material according to factory specifications and the medium red leather interior feels original but deliberately not new. The Jaguars sinewy performance is underlined by the automatic gear shift – a Gran Tourismo is both a car for competitive racing and relaxed cruising with luggage – no other car than the aristocratic Jaguar XK150 Coupe could possibly do a better job. A rarely seen European version of the XK150 ‘SE’ that has been subject to a complete professional renovation. Its ‘S’ chassis number prefix indicating that it is a sought after ‘Special Equipment’ model, this left-hand drive XK150 is not your usual US import. One not to be missed.

1955 AC Aceca Coupe

Lot #232 (Sale Order 34 of 80)

The success of Cliff Davis’ Tojeiro sports-racer prompted AC Cars to put the design into production in 1954 as the Ace. The Davis car’s pretty Ferrari 166-inspired barchetta body work was retained, as was John Tojeiro’s twin-tube ladder frame chassis and Cooper-influenced all-independent suspension, but the power unit was AC’s own venerable, 2.0-litre, long-stroke six. This overhead-camshaft engine originated in 1919 and with a modest 80bhp (later 100bhp) on tap, endowed the Ace with respectable, if not outstanding, performance. A hardtop version – the fastback-styled Aceca coupé – debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show in 1954. The Aceca’s hatchback body was constructed in hand-formed aluminium over a tubular steel framework, while the tubular chassis was more substantially built than the Ace’s. To reduce noise levels within the cabin, AC mounted all major components on rubber bushes. The result was a well-engineered, light in weight and extremely pretty GT car in the best AC tradition. Very few alterations were made to the Ace and Aceca apart from a change of engine for 1956 when the more-powerful (up to 130bhp) 2.0-litre Bristol six-cylinder engine became available, while towards the end of production the 2.6-litre Ford Zephyr engine was on offer also. The combination of a fine-handling chassis and a decent power-to-weight ratio – the Bristol-engine could touch 120mph and helped the Ace version to numerous successes in production sports car racing, arguably its finest achievement being a 1st-in-class and 7th overall finish at Le Mans in 1959. The AC Aceca was introduced in 1954 as the coupe variant of the open AC Ace. A total of 151 copies of the AC Aceca were built between 1954 and 1963. Then came the successor, the famous AC Cobra. The Aceca has a magnificent GT body made of aluminium, and features a 6-cylinder engine with 3 carburettors. This matching numbers example is offered having benefitted from much maintenance history over the years, with recent work having been completed to the engine, carburettors, clutch brakes and steering. The Aceca is offered with a current MOT certificate which is valid to November 2017. Offered in original condition with a beautiful patina, this is a very good looking sports GT car which is eligible for many historic motor racing events, and one which we are sure will provide many years of enjoyment for the next owner.

1964 Lancia Flaminia 2.5 GT

Lot #233 (Sale Order 35 of 80)

Lancia’s Pininfarina-styled Flaminia saloon debuted at the 1956 Turin Motor Show. The Aurelia’s replacement, the Flaminia retained its predecessor’s mechanical layout, though the form of unitary construction was changed and Lancia’s traditional ‘sliding hub’ independent front suspension gave way to a more-modern double wishbone and coil-spring arrangement. Shorter-wheelbase Coupé and Convertible models followed, all featuring disc brakes and increased power. The 2,458cc V6 engine produced 119bhp when installed in the more sporting Flaminias, with 140bhp available in the triple-carburettor ‘3C’ models from 1961, which was good enough for a top speed approaching 190km/h. Having been delivered to its first Italian owner on 18th February 1964 and registered in Naples, this superb Flaminia coupe still bears its initial vehicle registration 292432 NA to this day. Superbly finished in ivory white with light brown leather interior, this Touring bodied Superleggera Lancia is in superb original condition and suitable for the most discerning Lancia collector.

1992 Porsche 964 Turbo S

Lot #234 (Sale Order 36 of 80)

Based on the Type 964 Turbo, which had been campaigned successfully in the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) Supercar Series in the United States, Porsche presented the 911 Turbo Lightweight as a design study at the Geneva Auto Show in March 1992. Positive response spurred Porsche to proceed with a limited run of this special production version. The model was officially called the 911 Turbo S and was built in Zuffenhausen’s Exclusive Department. The Turbo S was based on the standard production Turbo II, but with extensive tuning work on the 3.3-litre turbocharged engine to increase its power output by nearly 20 percent. With an incredible 381 brake horsepower (compared to the Turbo’s 320), the upgraded engine also developed an impressive 36 foot-pounds of torque at 4,800 rpm. The prodigious power could launch the Turbo S from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.7 seconds and to a top speed of 290 km/h (180 mph). Much like its normally aspirated counterpart, the Carrera RS, weight reduction measurements included the removal of comfort-oriented equipment and trim, such as the power windows, power locks, air-conditioning, and power-adjustable seats. Furthermore, lightweight fiberglass-reinforced carbon composite body panels were used for the front boot lid, both doors, and the rear spoiler. Special thin-gauge glass was also used in the rear and side windows. The interior features lightweight bucket seats, removal of the rear seats, elimination of undercoating material, as well as limited use of sound insulation throughout. At just 1,290 kilograms, the Turbo S weighs in at 180 kilograms less than the production Turbo II. This Porsche 964 is one of the rarest, only 86 Turbo S Lightweight Porsches were built, and most powerful models of the vaunted 964 platform. This limited production Turbo S Lightweight is undoubtedly one of the most exciting air-cooled 911’s. In the hands of a German Porsche collector since 2011, this superb Turbo S Lightweight comes with a broad brief case including original books and owner’s manual, German registration documents, fully stamped service booklet and invoices. The car also has a TÜV to June 2018. Furthermore an expert report of 2015 indicating a value of €1,000,000 is attached to this superb and ultra-rare Porsche.

1967 Riva Junior

Lot #235 (Sale Order 37 of 80)

1966 saw the new Riva Junior launched at the important Genova Show, where it was intended as a replacement for the earlier Florida. Destined for a younger clientele and ideal for water skiing, it was described as ‘the first step on the ladder of Riva ownership’. The entry-level Junior was an immediate success and soon conquered the all-important American market. Its distinctive features include the open design of the cockpit and sundeck and the white painted sides for ease of maintenance. Launched at a price of Lire 2.9 million, the Junior remained in production until 1972, with 626 hulls completed. This simply lovely Riva Junior from 1967 was delivered new to Portugal, has just had an engine overhaul, and is presented in stunning condition. Offered with a period trailer and Portoguese registration papers, this fantastic Riva is ready for service once more.

1961 Jaguar E-Type Flat Floor Roadster

Lot #236 (Sale Order 38 of 80)

On its 1961 Geneva Show debut the E-Type caused a sensation, with all the promise of its looks confirmed by independent road test results that not only recorded a 150mph top speed, but also 0-60mph and 0-l00mph in 6.9 and 16.2 seconds respectively; fast indeed, and the match of any exotic thoroughbred then available, combined with superb road-holding and remarkable docility. One of the greatest post-war sports cars, Jaguar’s E-Type made immediate headlines on its launch in March 1961. Here was a sleek and beautiful 150mph car with a competition pedigree that could be bought for just over €2,000 almost half the cost of an Aston Martin or Ferrari. A direct descendant of the XK120 and competition C and D-Type models that so dominated fifties sports car racing, the E-Type shared its 265bhp 3.8 litre twin-cam straight-six engine with the XK150 ‘S’, mated to a Moss four-speed gearbox with synchromesh on the top three ratios. Beneath the William Lyons/Malcolm Sayer-styled body, available in either closed or roadster form, the steel monocoque chassis sported all-independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes, mounted inboard at the back. Sold new to Germany through Peter Linder, famous for having the Linder-Knocker Low Drag Coupe built this matching numbers flat floor roadster was sold new to Gunter Groner. The car was then sold to a US serviceman John Hogen who bought it from him and took it with him back to Minnesota. Hogen then traded the car for some specialist farm equipment, and that owner sold the car to the last now retired surgeon owner in the 1980’s. The car changed hands in May 1990 to Dr Paul Delong in Lowa before being repatriated back to European shores. Supplied with its original special purpose built Knockoffs, and fitted with a very rare early steering wheel it displays 69,000 km which is believed to be correct. Copies of the paperwork are on file and the car is offered with UK V5 registration. The subject of much recent work by UK specialists, this wonderful restored etype has had much recent expenditure. This includes a mechanical engine and gearbox rebuild, new suspension and braking systems and is reported to drive very well indeed. Bodily the car was subject to a repaint and is presented in excellent overall condition. These models are rare at the best of times, let alone one that has been restored to this standard.

1956 BMW 502

Lot #237 (Sale Order 39 of 80)

First presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1951, the BMW 501 marked the first series-produced BMW since the war and represented the opening ripple in what was to become a gathering wave of success for BMW until this day. BMW continued to stand out with the release of the 502 and by 1954 it became the world’s first volume-produced vehicle to be fitted with a V8 built from aluminium; a remarkable success. Resultantly, the BMW 501 and 502 had cemented the company’s reputation as the leading manufacturer of prestigious and sporting sedans and cabriolets, and made the history books as the first German V8 engine built from aluminium. The unique and captivating design earned the nickname “Baroque Angel”. Described to be in near-excellent condition throughout, #61128 has been subject to a restoration several years ago that included a complete interior re-trim and today the wooden trimmings, paintwork, chrome and leather are overall very good and show signs of only light use; as the car in recent years has been used regularly yet sparingly as a good weather vehicle or for classic car events. The mechanics are described to be in excellent condition throughout and the groundbreaking aluminium 3.2 litre BMW block is said to produce 140HP on the open road. Not bad for a 1950’s luxury saloon!

2011 BMW M3 GTS

Lot #238 (Sale Order 40 of 80)

Since its introduction in 1985 – and throughout its various incarnations – the BMW M3 has always remained resolutely a driver’s car, with a focus on high performance, minimal weight and excellent handling. Initially based on the E30 platform, and featuring a competition derived 2.3 Litre engine, revised suspension geometry, aerodynamic alterations, wider track and improved brakes, the car was produced in order to homologate the car for Group A Touring Car racing – a forum in which it would go on to excel. Over the next four years, no less than twelve major Touring Car Championships were won, including two European crowns and one World Championship, making the M3 one of the truly great Competition Touring Cars. Whilst certain elements of the press considered some of the original “race bred” magic of the E30 to have been lost in the subsequent E36 and E46 variants, the fourth incarnation of the M3 – based on the E90/92/93 platform – was something of a return to the original concept. Launched in 2007, and featuring a V8 engine for the first time, it boasted 414 bhp which enabled the car to travel to achieve 60 mph in only 4.7 seconds. If the standard E92 M3 was well received, the subsequent GTS model – with production limited to only 150 units – went straight back to the roots of the original E30. Much of the interior was removed, a titanium exhaust fitted and bulky items such as the air conditioning system were offered only as optional extras in an effort to reduce weight. The track was widened, 19 inch wheels fitted and power increased to a mighty 444 bhp. All this conspired to increase both overall responsiveness and performance, with an already rapid car being transformed into one capable of some 197 mph. This particular example is number 118 out of the 150 cars manufactured. With just one owner and a warranted mileage of less than 5,000 kilometres, it is impeccably presented in Orange with black cloth interior. Last serviced at a BMW Main Agent at 2,170 kilometres, it is ready for immediate use and enjoyment of its truly formidable performance. Hold on! NOTE : Interested parties should be aware that VAT is payable on this vehicle at the local prevailing rate.

1964 Alfa Romeo 2600 Touring Spider

Lot #239 (Sale Order 41 of 80)

Introduced in 1962, the 106-Series ‘2600’ range was a direct replacement for the preceding 102-Series ‘2000’ cars. Carrozzeria Touring and Bertone were responsible for the 2600 Spider and Sprint Coupé respectively; both of which looked like their 2000 predecessors. The latter’s chassis design and body styles were retained, with minor revisions and improvements, but in place of the old, long-stroke, 2.0-litre four was a new, 2,584cc, twin-cam six-cylinder engine clearly descended from that of the immensely successful Giulietta. A maximum output of 145bhp was claimed for this unit when installed in the Sprint coupé and Spider, good enough for a top speed of around 125mph. Cars Illustrated magazine reckoned this magnificent power unit ‘one of the smoothest, quietest running sixes, irrespective of the speed at which it is running, in our experience.’ Rarest of these two high-performance variants was the Spider, a total of only 2,255 being produced between 1962 and 1965. Today this rare and hitherto under-appreciated model is becoming increasingly sought after by discerning Alfisti. This Alfa Romeo 2600 Touring Spider was delivered and sold new to California USA in 1964, and imported back into Europe via The Netherlands around 20 years ago. During this time the car has remained with the third owner from new. As one would expect with a low mileage car having spent much of its early life in California, the Spider is very solid and original with excellent panel gaps. The interior is finished in black leather with a matching black cloth soft-top. Described to be in perfect running and driving condition, this 2600 was subject to a mechanical rebuild 7 years ago, and 3 years ago benefited from a rebuild to the “Solex” carburettors. A wonderful Italian Spider which we are sure will offer the next owner much enjoyment.

1968 Ferrari 330 GTC

Lot #240 (Sale Order 42 of 80)

‘At the top, at the absolute top, in the automotive enthusiasts’ hierarchy of the cars of the world, there is only one. Ferrari. Is there really any question?’ Forty-plus years after Car & Driver magazine voiced that rhetorical enquiry the answer, of course, remains the same. And the car that prompted that eulogy – the Ferrari 330GTC. Intended to fill a gap in Ferrari’s line-up between the four-seat 330 GT 2+2 and the racer-on-the-road 275GTB, the two- seat 330GTC debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1966 and was essentially a closed version of the 275GTS. Pininfarina’s understated coachwork combined elements of the latter at the rear with touches of the 500 Superfast at the front. Few would disagree with Car & Driver’s opinion that the result was most agreeable. ‘The GTC is a tasteful blend of the mean-and-low look of Ferrari competition GT cars, with the elegance of super-luxury street Ferraris of the past. Detail work, finish, panel fit, every aspect is superlative.’ Beneath the 330GTC’s bonnet resided the 4-litre, 300bhp version of Ferrari’s familiar, two-cam, 60-degree V12, as used in the 330GT 2+2. The short (94.5” wheelbase) chassis followed Ferrari’s established practice of tying together sturdy oval- section main tubes in a steel spaceframe, while the suspension was independent all round by wishbones and coil springs. First introduced on a road-going Ferrari (the 275GTB) in 1964, the rear suspension incorporated the five-speed gearbox in a transaxle, an arrangement that created a better-balanced car and one that gave its driver, “the wonderful sense of knowing just exactly what’s going on between one’s posterior and the pavé.” Much development work had concentrated on the reduction of noise levels in the cabin, which was luxuriously equipped in the best Gran Turismo manner: leather seats, electric windows and heated rear screen were standard; radio, air conditioning and Borrani wire wheels the options. With a top speed in excess of 150mph, excellent ride comfort and sure-footed handling, Ferrari could justifiably claim the 330GTC to be the finest of high-speed conveyances for two people and their luggage. Delivered from new to Italy and finished in Grigio Argento with a black leather interior, this wonderful 330 GTC has only just come onto the market since 2005. In the current long-term ownership and in addition to servicing work, the car has benefitted from an interior trim in Nero leather, refinishing of the interior wood trim, a rebuild of the Borrani wheels, the carburettors rebuilt, the fitting of a replacement stainless exhaust system and also attention to the brakes. To improve the engine running electronic ignition has been fitted, and the distributors adjusted. Bills are on file to support the work completed. The 330 is supplied with a current UK MoT certificate and UK V5 document. Showing just 28,287 miles recorded from new, this is a beautiful example of one of Ferrari’s very best GT road cars of the last century.

1960 Porsche 356 B Coupe

Lot #241 (Sale Order 43 of 80)

Porsche’s Type 356, introduced in 1948, is acknowledged to be one of the world’s great sports cars. Over a 15-year production run, the handsome and durable 356 evolved from a streamlined little aluminium-bodied coupe powered by a VW-derived, 46hp 1100cc air-cooled flat four to a powerful autobahn burner carrying a complex, two-litre four-cam boxer Carrera engine of 130hp. Its development brought not only coupes, but luxurious cabriolets and more spartan speedsters and roadsters. More than 76,000 examples were made in all by the time production ceased in 1965. The 356B, produced from 1960 through 1963, represents the mid-point in this design’s progression. In what is known as “T5” form, the B introduced new front and rear sheet-metal, while retaining the curved front trunk lid and rounded fenders of the 356A series. The B also added some features demanded by American customers, such as raised front and rear bumpers with over-riders to better protect the body from parking mishaps. The headlamps were raised, a larger hood handle added, and front vent windows appeared in the doors. Mechanically, the gearbox and drum brakes were upgraded. A new steering wheel and column refreshed the interior, along with redesigned rear seats. The mid-1962 356 B model was changed to the T6 body type (twin engine lid grilles, an external fuel filler in the right front wing/fender and a larger rear window in the coupé). Subject to an older restoration, this lovely matching numbers example has had its engine restored more recently in 2015. Provided with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, this is a very good example of the iconic and desirable 356 B.

1979 Maserati Khamsin

Lot #242 (Sale Order 44 of 80)

Maserati’s final major introduction while under Citroën’s control, the Khamsin (named after a hot Sahara Desert wind) debuted at the 1972 Turin Show and entered production in 1974. Styled and built at Bertone, the Khamsin’s attractive, unitary construction, 2+2 hatchback body was of all steel construction. The front-engined Khamsin featured state-of-the-art, all independent, double-wishbone suspension similar to that of the mid-engined Bora and Merak which, combined with a 50/50 front/rear weight distribution, endowed the Khamsin with near perfect balance; and if its grip level was ultimately inferior to the Bora’s, then the Khamsin’s conventional layout made it easier to control close to the limit. Citroën’s hydraulic technology (as found in the Maserati-engined Citroën SM) was employed to power the brakes and steering – the latter, in particular, being rated as highly effective by testers – and also to raise the concealed headlamps. The power unit was a longer-stroke, 4.9-litre version of Maserati’s familiar quad-cam V8 developing 320bhp at a lowly 5,500rpm and a lusty 354lb/ft of torque at 4,000rpm. A five-speed ZF manual gearbox or three-speed Borg-Warner automatic transmission were options, and when equipped with the former the Khamsin was good for around 240km/h (150mph). Although seemingly less exotic than the mid-engined Bora supercar, the Khamsin was Maserati’s biggest-engined and most expensive offering at the time of its introduction, and thus could justifiably claim to be its top-of-the-range model. By virtue of its front-engined layout, the Khamsin offered greater practicality, providing a roomier and more comfortable interior and superior luggage carrying capacity. ‘Just as it scores in terms of accommodation compared with a mid-engined car, so the Khamsin is generally quieter,’ observed Autocar magazine. ‘There is an exciting noise of cams in motion when the car is accelerating hard, but this is presumably no more than the enthusiastic owner would demand. There is very little of that tiring noise that nags away at the occupants when cruising at a high steady speed. In these circumstances the engine noise dies away to a whisper and wind noise never becomes apparent.’ A mere 430 examples of this most exclusive and consummate Grand Routier had been made when production ceased in 1982. This manual transmission matching numbers Khamsin was delivered in the US but has been painstakingly converted back to European specification by a well know Maserati specialist. In stunning condition and retaining the original Tobacco coloured interior, it is supplied with a Maserati Classiche certificate and has always been maintained by Maserati specialists.

1947 Delahaye 135M Cabriolet

Lot #243 (Sale Order 45 of 80)

Based initially at Tours and from 1906 in Paris, Delahaye built its first automobile in 1894 and soon branched out into commercial vehicle manufacture. Founder Emile Delahaye designed the cars and drove them in competitions during the firm’s formative years before retiring in 1901 when Charles Weiffenbach – ‘Monsieur Charles’ – took over as Director. Amédée Varlet served as Delahaye’s chief designer from then onwards, being responsible for its marine engines as well as those intended for road use. At this time the name of Delahaye was as renowned on water as on land. The sport of motor boat racing was dominated by Delahaye-powered craft, one of which established a new World Speed Record of 54.50km/h (33.84mph). There proved to be little profit in this enterprise however, and the firm redirected its attention exclusively to road transport, greatly expanding its range of commercial vehicle types. Under Varlet’s direction, Delahaye produced a succession of rugged, dependable vehicles with an enviable reputation for reliability. Indeed, Prince Sixte de Bourbon crossed the Sahara desert in several directions at the wheel of a Delahaye Type 104 in 1929 without once breaking down. Up to the mid-1930s Delahaye’s products tended to be rather lacklustre, but then in 1935 came the first of a new generation that would change the marque’s image forever – the T135 Coupe Des Alpes. Designed by Varlet’s successor Jean François, the T135 was a fine sporting car, albeit one which, somewhat paradoxically, borrowed its engine from one of its maker’s trucks. The 3.2-liter, six-cylinder, overhead-valve unit produced 110bhp on triple Solex carburetors while the under-slung chassis featured transverse leaf independent front suspension, four-speed synchromesh or Cotal gearboxes, centre-lock wire wheels and large Bendix brakes. Delahaye improved on the formula the following year with the 3.6-liter, 120/130bhp T135MS, and the sports version was soon making a name for itself in competitions, taking 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th places in the run-to-sportscar-regulations 1936 French Grand Prix and winning the Monte Carlo Rally and Le Mans 24-Hour Race outright in 1937 and 1938 respectively. In England, Prince Bira contested the 1938 Donington 12-Hour Sports Car Race in Prince Chula’s example, winning the event and going on to take victory in Brooklands’ ‘fastest road car in England’ race against some formidable opposition. The model reappeared post-WW2 as the 135M with the 3.6-liter engine and lasted in production until superseded by the 235 in 1951. Relatively few Delahayes were sold after WW2, the result of France’s punitive taxation rates for large cars. By 1954 the situation had become untenable and Delahaye merged with Hotchkiss, producing nothing but trucks thereafter. Without doubt, the 135 transformed Delahaye’s image from that of staid dependability to stylish high performance, banishing the saying ‘solide comme un Delahaye’, although the firm’s products remained as well engineered as ever. The 135 attracted the attention of France’s finest coachbuilders, and many of their works on this chassis are among the most striking examples of automotive art of the period. Production records were lost during WW2 but it is believed that only 2,000-or-so examples of the 135/235 family were made, the greater majority during the late 1930s. The right-hand drive Delahaye 135M offered here wears custom cabriolet coachwork by Carrossier A. Guilloré of Courbevoie, France, typical of the period in its adoption of the more enclosed, streamlined style inspired by an increasing understanding of the importance of aerodynamics. This wonderful tourer enjoyed an extremely comprehensive restoration in the 1980s, later benefiting from a cosmetic refresh in the form of a repaint and interior re-trim in wine red leather. Since then the car formed part of a collection at the renowned Antique Automobile Club of America Museum in Pennsylvania, United States, later being sold via Mark Hyman to a Dutch collector in the mid 2000s. Offered with Dutch papers, this rare and truly exquisite Delahaye 135M is reported to be in excellent running condition, ready to be enjoyed as a touring car or concours participant.

1939 Panhard et Lavassor Type X81/140 Dynamic Limousine

Lot #244 (Sale Order 46 of 80)

Still loyal to the non-valve engine, the old company Panhard et Levassor produced an original model in 1936 which distinguishes itself from the production of competitors by its baroque style and certain avant-garde technical solutions. This type that was designed and drawn under the auspices of the engineer Louis Bionier was produced in two six-cylinder engine versions: the 130 or X76 type at 2.5 litres and the 140 or X77 type with a 2.86 litre engine (16 CV/75 hp). These are large and comfortable luxury models (6/7 seats), renowned for their silence. They are also monocoque cars, a solution that Citroën was the only one to use in France. The Dynamic, which was the commercial name, was also innovative with independent front wheels with torsion bars and overlaid triangles (as on current supercars), the upper suspension arms being hinged onto the engine (a modern F1 solution). A particular feature of the first Dynamics was that their almost central steering, with which no one was happy, was abandoned at the end of 1938. As for the hydraulically controlled brakes, they already had independent circuits. These major innovations on a technical level are masked by an innovative aerodynamic style which divides opinion. Too big for some, it is above all modern for others with its rounded fenders and window pillars taken from the Panoramic. In 1938, a six-window limousine came to complete the selection of saloons, coaches, coupés and convertibles that can be provided with a partition, whereas an X80 (or 160) version with a 3.84 litre engine (22 CV/100 hp) completed the top of the range while the X76 disappeared. These grand limousines are a favourite of high level French officials. As for 1939, the X77 became the X81 with left-hand drive and the X80 became the X82. A year later, it was the Army that chose the Dynamic for transportation of high-ranking military officials including the generalissimo Gamelin and his retinue. According to Panhard archives quoted by F. Vauvilliers in his book “The car in uniform” (Massin Publishing House, Paris 1992), Panhard provided the Army with 182 X81 and X82 Dynamics. These so-called “great liaison” cars were requisitioned at the factory in September 1939 and used as they were before being repainted in army green, including the chrome, when the threat from the air became clear. This order of limousines came along with that of combat vehicles and lorries that had already been mass ordered with Panhard. According to the “club des Doyennes Panhard et Levassor” this example is the only known known six-window limousine with a driver partition. The car has been extensively restored by Pascal Le Gallet in Tapenasse, the engine rebuilt by René Pujet (formerly of Panhard), the seating by Atout Sellerie in Glezet, the chrome in Lyon (the electrics are also completely new). This unique car has recently captivated audiences at the 2017 Schloss Dyck Masterpieces and Style concours event, and with good reason. An amazing looking car, and very well presented indeed.

1966 Porsche 911

Lot #245 (Sale Order 47 of 80)

Few sports cars have proved as versatile as Porsche’s perennial 911, a model that, for the past 50 years, has proved equally capable as a Grand Tourer, circuit racer or rally car. A ‘modern classic’ if ever there was one, the 911 first appeared at the 1963 Frankfurt Show as the ‘901’, but shortly after production proper commenced in 1964 had become the ‘911’ following Peugeot’s complaints about the use of ‘0’ model numbers. The preceding Type 356’s rear-engined layout was retained but the 911 switched to unitary construction for the bodyshell and dropped the 356’s VW-based suspension in favour of a more modern McPherson strut and trailing arm arrangement. In its first incarnation, Porsche’s single-overhead-camshaft, air-cooled flat six engine displaced 1,991cc and produced 130bhp; progressively enlarged and developed, it would eventually grow to more than 3.0 litres and, in turbo-charged form, put out well over 300 horsepower. The 911 on offer here is a complete professional rebuild of a 1966 911 performed between 2014 and 2017 with no expenses spared. The original engine and gearbox were overhauled by renowned marque specialists, RUF Automobile GmbH in Pfaffenhausen – so good is their work that the drive train comes with a 2 year or 30,000km guarantee. The body has been restored from the chassis up and was repainted in her original Bahama Yellow. This restoration has left no part of the car being overlooked and the result is a 1966 Porsche 911 like new in the truest sense of this abused word. It is not an imported car but was delivered when new to Porsche Glöckler of Frankfurt on 10th October 1966. The whole rebuild is fully documented and supplied with invoices in the history file. A car that really must be seen.

1963 Lancia Flaminia

Lot #246 (Sale Order 48 of 80)

The Lancia Flaminia is a luxury car produced by Italian automaker Lancia from 1957 to 1970. It was Lancia’s flagship model at that time, replacing the Aurelia. It was available throughout its lifetime as saloon, coupé and cabriolet. The Flaminia coupé and convertible were coachbuilt cars with bodies from several prestigious Italian coachbuilders. Four “presidential” stretched limousine Flaminias were produced by Pininfarina for use on state occasions. Carrozzeria Touring designed and built these aluminum bodied two-door versions, which can be easily distinguished by their four-round headlights (rather than two on Pininfarina Flaminias), and a shorter cabin – the wheelbase was decreased significantly for the GT and Convertibile, allowing for only two seats to be mounted. The GT was a coupé, while the Convertibile was obviously a cabriolet version (with optional hardtop). The GTL, introduced in 1962, was a 2+2 version of the GT with a slightly longer wheelbase. The Convertibile was in production until 1964, with 847 made in total (180 with the 2.8), while the GT and GTL lasted until 1965, with 1718 GTs and 300 GTLs made (out of which, 168 GTs and 297 GTLs with the 2.8). Only 180 Lancia Flaminia convertibles with the 2.8 litre engine were manufactured by the works. So any surviving examples in good condition are extremely rare and sought after. Especially the late 2.8 GT 3C, clothed by Touring in the most beautiful aluminium cabriolet body and an engine output of 140 HP, is the preferred specification for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

1974 Tomaszo Special Cheetah Replica

Lot #247 (Sale Order 49 of 80)

Built primarily as a competitor to Ford’s Cobra the Cheetah was built in southern California where production ran from 1963 to 1965. Few Cheetahs were built at this time mainly due to the complicated but sophisticated characteristics of the car. The tube-framed fiberglass-body was built out of a workshop in Anaheim, Orange county. The Cheetah founded by Bill Thomas and Don Edmunds, very much the underdogs of the motor racing world, had they been as well funded as the likes of Carol Shelby the Cheetah story could have turned out very differently. Having always been interested in motorsport and constantly working on cars, Bill opened his own workshop in 1960, Bill Thomas Race Cars. Then, in 1963, in response to Ford’s Cobra program, he was instructed to go ahead and commission the Cheetah. Though 100 cars were set to be produced for homologation purposes just 11 examples where completed before the team were told to stop due to the new rules of which 1000 examples had to be produced rather than the 100 previous. This particular car on offer today is an extremely well-presented Tomaszo PS Special evocation of the 1964 Cheetah. Bought by the vendor from Wilhelm Tomaszovits, the founder of the Tomaszo company in Austria. Under the bonnet is a 350 Chevrolet engine with roller tappets, four double webers mated to a Muncie five speed gearbox. Weighing a total of just 940 kg the power and performance is clearly exceptional. Built as a one off for the use of Mr Tomaszovits, the car represents a fantastic opportunity to own a rare and superbly built car that resembles the bone shattering performance of the Bill Thomas Cheetah. Included in the sale is the bill of sale, and a EU registration document. A one off car that is not to be missed.

1969 Jaguar E-Type Series II Roadster

Lot #248 (Sale Order 50 of 80)

The first significant upgrade of Jaguar’s sensational E-Type sports car took shape in October 1964 with the launch of the 4.2-litre version. Along with the bigger, torquier engine came a more user-friendly gearbox with synchromesh on first gear, and a superior Lockheed brake servo. Apart from ‘4.2’ badging, the car’s external appearance was unchanged, but under the skin there were numerous detail improvements. These mainly concerned the cooling and electrical systems, the latter gaining an alternator and adopting the industry standard negative ground, while the interior boasted a matt black dashboard and improved seating arrangements. The top speed of around 150mph remained unchanged, the main performance gain resulting from the larger engine being improved acceleration. Like its 3.8-litre forbear, the 4.2-litre E-Type was built in roadster and coupé forms, and in 1966 gained an additional 2+2 coupé variant on a 9” longer wheelbase. Intended to extend the E-Type’s appeal beyond the traditional sports car-buying market, the new ‘family orientated’ 2+2 came with improved visibility thanks to an increased glass area, more headroom, improved heating and ventilation, additional luggage space and optional Borg-Warner automatic transmission. In 1968 all three versions of the E-Type underwent major revision to comply with US safety and emissions legislation, emerging in ‘Series 2’ guise minus the original’s distinctive headlight covers. In addition, enlarged side and rear lights were adopted while a thickened front bumper centre section bridged a larger radiator intake. Interior changes included a collapsible steering column and rocker switches in place of the earlier toggles. This beautiful matching numbers 1969 Jaguar E-Type OTS has enjoyed a highly detailed restoration, and is finished in the classic combination of British Racing Green with a Tan Leather interior and matching soft-top. The E-Type looks fantastic on new chrome wire wheels, and drives very nicely. This nicely restored E-Type is ready for lots of driving fun in the summer months, whilst we are sure will prove to be a wise investment for the future.

2002 Ferrari 575M Maranello

Lot #249 (Sale Order 51 of 80)

Five years after the introduction of the 550 Maranello, Ferrari unveiled the 575M Maranello, which offered a host of upgrades over its predecessor. The displacement of its V-12 engine was increased by 250 cubic centimetres, which brought total displacement to 5,748 cubic centimetres, hence the car’s designation of 575. This also brought about a healthy increase in horsepower and torque, giving the 575M a top speed of 202 mph, and larger brake discs were fitted to help reign in the speed when necessary. Ferrari was also able to improve weight distribution to an even 50/50, which helped to improve handling. For the first time in a front-engined V-12 model, buyers also had the opportunity to fit their new car with Magneti Marelli’s semi-automatic, F1-style gearbox. Cosmetically, the front end was slightly revised with newer headlights, a revised air intake, and a front spoiler. Inside, the interior was modernised and refreshed with an updated dashboard, trim, and steering wheel, amongst other minor updates. The 575 Maranello offered here, with chassis number 123761, is one of the earliest to roll off the production line and sports the lowest chassis number recorded for this model. In its early days the car was used as one of two pre-production models for marketing and PR purposes before going back to the factory where it remained in storage. In 2008 the car was overhauled to the exact specifications of a VIP client and then supplied ‘new’ to its first private owner directly by the factory and is finished in Rosso Corsa over a beige leather interior with Castoro carpets. It benefitted from a new power cube at this time and is also fitted with the optional F1-style transmission; as well as the highly desirable and very rare carbon-backed sport seats. This means the car was indeed the first made and yet the very last sold. Chassis 123761 remained in Italy from new until 2015 and passed to the current vendor the following year. At the time of cataloguing, the odometer is showing less than 13,000 kilometres from new. Additionally, the car retains the original set of manuals, a detailed history file, V5C log book and current MOT. Thought to be the first of two pre-production cars made, this car truly represents a piece of Ferrari history and would be a valuable addition to any collection.

1973 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 V12 Roadster

Lot #250 (Sale Order 52 of 80)

Whilst the concept of the Jaguar E Type was without doubt one of the finest pieces of automotive design ever to be put into general production, one of the problems with its continued development was the inevitable weight gain. Throughout the 1960s ever more stringent safety legislation emanated from the USA and, as this market was a major breadwinner for Jaguar, it was perhaps unavoidable that the purity of the original design would be compromised to compete within it. Emissions legislation had forced the adoption of twin Stromberg carburettors on trans-Atlantic bound cars resulting in a reduction in power to 177bhp instead of the quoted 265bhp for European examples breathing through triple Webers. However, the balance was to be redressed with the introduction of the Series 3 model powered by Jaguar’s new 5.3-litre, overhead camshaft V12 developing 272bhp. This resulted in a top speed in excess of 140mph with 0-100mph taking just 16 seconds, the fastest ever acceleration figures for the model. Revisions to the running gear included anti-dive geometry on the front suspension and ventilated disc brakes. Power steering was standard and flared wheel arches were incorporated to allow fitment of wider rubber to maintain grip. A deeper radiator aperture with chrome grille completed the restyle. With manual or automatic transmission options the Series 3 ensured the immortal E Type would survive into the new decade of the 1970s. Finished in Sable brown over cream leather interior, this Series 3 Roadster has been carefully maintained by its fastidious owner and rather unsurprisingly comes supplied with a good service history. The interior was been refurbished in 2017. The car has spent all of its life in the dry states of California before being imported to Europe in 2016. Provided with EU registration papers alongside its clean Californian title document, this wonderful V12 received an extensive service in 2016 which included changing the oil, plugs, rubber seals, heater valve, tuning the carbs, and more. The engine is described to run strong and the transmission to shift smoothly. A desirable example of the undervalued Series 3 Roadsters.

1963 Mercedes-Benz 220 SEB Coupe W111

Lot #251 (Sale Order 53 of 80)

Design of a replacement for the two-door Pontons began in 1957; as most of the chassis and drivetrain were to be unified with the sedan, the scope was focused on the exterior styling. Some of the mockups and prototypes show that Mercedes-Benz attempted to give the two-door car a front styling almost identical to what would be realised in the Pagoda roadster, but ultimately favoured the work of engineer Paul Bracq. The rear bodywork however, persisted, and thus though officially still called a fintail, the rear end design had no chrome fin highlights. Production began in late 1960, and in February of the next year the coupe was premiered in Stuttgart for the 75th anniversary of the opening of the Mercedes-Benz Museum. Unlike the previous generation of two-door Ponton series, there was only one model for the two-door vehicle, the 220SE on both versions, with the identical M127 2,195cc engine. Options included a sliding sunroof for the coupe, automatic transmission, power steering, and individual rear seats. Finished in a refreshing Light blue metallic with beautifully contrasting red leather interior, this very desirable specification 220SEb is a European car, not one of the usual US imports and comes fitted with the rarely optioned sunroof and manual gearbox. Provided with an extensive service history and original service book, most recently the car received a thorough service and has travelled a mere 850km since. The service included new coil, spark plugs, rear axle bearings, brake and clutch cylinders, brakes, injectors cleaned, rear end restoration and more. The car is on the button and ready to be enjoyed in the forthcoming summer months. Originally sold new in Germany in 1976, before being exported to America and repatriated to Europe. Currently fitted with the stylish American headlights however can easily be replaced with European H4’s.

1975 Porsche 911 S Targa

Lot #252 (Sale Order 54 of 80)

After 1973, it was decided that the 2.4 litre wasn’t really fast enough for the 911, with the impending American emissions standards threatening to slow the model down to the point that ordinary Cadillacs would smoke its droopy tail. The solution: to take the 2.7-litre engine developed for the Carrera RS, detune it a bit, and make it standard across the board. This made the 911 a very usable sports car for all driving conditions. It was only natural that capacity for mainstream production should be increased to 2687cc, which gave a good increase in torque to match the 150bhp of the 911 2.7 Coupe. Impact bumpers were now required to satisfy American law and production ran from 1974 to 1977. This delightful narrow-bodied Porsche 911 Targa rolled off the production line in 1976, ordered as the more powerful “S” specification model. In more recent times the car has enjoyed a full restoration in Holland, which included a rebuild of the matching numbers engine. The burgundy metallic paint when combined with a beige leather interior, aluminium trim and original Fuchs alloys wheels is a very attractive proposition. Said to drive extremely well, this Targa offers a huge amount of fun with classic 1970’s Porsche looks. The 911 is offered with its ‘Geburtsurkunde’ and the original instruction booklet.

1989 Ferrari Testarossa

Lot #253 (Sale Order 55 of 80)

Ferrari’s flagship model, the Testarossa supercar, revived a famous name from the Italian company’s past when it arrived in 1984. A next generation Berlinetta Boxer, the Testarossa retained its predecessors amidships-mounted, 5.0-litre, flat-12 engine, which now boasted a maximum power output raised to 380bhp at 6,300rpm courtesy of four-valve cylinder heads. Despite the power increase, smoothness and driveability were enhanced, the car possessing excellent top gear flexibility allied to a maximum speed of 180mph. Rivalling Lamborghini’s Countach for presence, the Pininfarina-designed Testarossa succeeded brilliantly, the gill slats feeding air to its side-mounted radiators being one of the modern era’s most instantly recognisable – and widely copied – styling devices. A larger car than the 512BB – the increase in width being necessary to accommodate wider tyres – the Testarossa managed the trick of combining high downforce with a low coefficient of drag, its graceful body being notable for the absence of extraneous spoilers and other such devices. Despite the increase in size over the 512BB, the Testarossa was lighter than its predecessor, the body – its steel doors and roof excepted – being, somewhat unusually for a production Ferrari, of aluminium. Luxury touches in the well-equipped cabin included air conditioning, electrically adjustable seats, tilting steering wheel and plentiful leather. Unlike some of its rivals, the Testarossa possessed light controls and was relatively easy to drive, factors which, allied to its outstanding performance and stunning looks, contributed to an instant and sustained high level of demand. Leaving the factory in 1989, this stunning Testarossa was first delivered to Japan. Serviced with new fluids, filters and cam belts at 32,000 km in Japan (invoices on file) this car is supplied with German road papers, and a Classic Data expertise report of 2+. Having covered just 34,800 km this is of one of the most iconic of all 1980’s supercars, turning as many heads today as it did when it was new.

1962 Bentley S2 Continental Drophead Coupe

Lot #254 (Sale Order 56 of 80)

‘The Bentley S2, with its sister Rolls-Royce models, gives high-speed travel in silence and luxury, while the driver and passengers enjoy the sense of well being that only British craftsmanship can give. The V8 engine, with its flashing acceleration, certainly contributes to the result and is a definite step forward in Rolls-Royce technique.’ – Autosport. The Continental version of the Bentley remained, as ever, exclusively a coachbuilt car. The firms of H J Mulliner, Park Ward, James Young and Hooper (with a solitary example) all offered bodies on the Continental S2 chassis, which differed from the standard version by virtue of its four-leading-shoe front brakes, shorter radiator and, up to chassis number ‘BC99BY’, higher gearing. Of these four, James Young and Hooper would soon cease coachbuilding, leaving only Mulliner and Park Ward to carry on a noble tradition. Consolidating its in-house coachbuilding capability, Rolls-Royce purchased H J Mulliner in 1959 and two years later the firm was merged with Park Ward, which had been acquired in 1939. The car offered here is a rather early example of Park Ward’s influential ‘straight through wing’ body style. Bentleys of this era were always bought by illustrious clients, and this example is no exception. The S2 was purchased from new by the entrepreneur John Bloom, best known for his role in the “Washing Machine Wars” of 1962-64 when he drastically reduced prices by direct sales that cut out the retailers. His company Rolls Razor made great inroads into the market but several manufacturers obtained injunctions to stop them selling at below the fixed retail price. Bloom was a controversial figure whose aggressive techniques shook up a complacent market but who gave new power to the consumer. Bloom was seeking a Rolls Silver Cloud III Drophead Coupe at the time, however as supply was so limited he resorted to purchasing the Bentley version and sending it back to the factory to have the appearance altered to that of the comparable Rolls Royce of the time. Later the Bentley was owned by the very popular and highly successful pianist Russ Conway, who was a feature of the UK Singles Chart between 1957 and 1963. Ownership passed subsequently to the Managing Director of Bristol Motor Cars, who had the S2 converted to Left Hand Drive specification and shipped to the United States, where it stayed for many years. Our vendor purchased the car and repatriated it into the UK, sympathetically restoring the S2 to the beautiful example you see here today. Chassis BC67BY was returned to its original Bentley S2 specification, and painted in Steel Grey, with a retrimmed grey leather interior. The current Left Hand Drive format has been retained, though it would be straightforward to convert the car back to Right Hand Drive if desired. Offered with a UK V5 registration document, this unique Continental is genuinely a very special example of one of the finest post-war Bentley coupes.

1962 Jaguar Mk II 3.8

Lot #255 (Sale Order 57 of 80)

Although the Mk I was a great success, selling four times as many as the larger Jaguar saloons, Jaguar boss William Lyons was not content. He knew it could be improved. Happily, virtually every aspect that had been criticised received attention in the new MkII range introduced in October 1959. These cars were to rank among the best loved Jaguars ever made and are today regarded as classics. There were some detail changes, including a redesigned interior that was more modern but retained the traditional Jaguar image. Jaguar saloons led the field in production and touring car races during much of the 60s. Not surprisingly the quickest and most successful private entries came from John Coombs’ Jaguar dealership in Guilford. John Coombs had significant race experience and his dealership simply got it right for a fortunate few racing enthusiasts. Very early on that included Hill, Salvadori and Salmon. This wonderful matching numbers Mark II was delivered new in 1962 to New York, USA, supplied from new with a desirable manual/overdrive gearbox. Pleasingly the Jaguar was finished in the colour scheme it still wears, ‘Opalescent Pearl Metallic’ with a beautiful red leather interior, and a delightful wood veneer dashboard. The Jaguar stayed in the United States for many years before being imported into the Netherlands in 1996. The enthusiastic Dutch owner clearly loved his Jaguar, keeping it for over 20 years. More recently the Mark II enjoyed a comprehensive restoration to both bodywork and mechanicals, as such the bodywork is extremely straight with excellent panel gaps, and the underneath of the car is solid and rust free. Properly sorted uprated Mark II Jaguars are wonderful classics for the enthusiastic driver, and this beautiful example in such an attractive colour scheme must rank as one of the very best we have seen.

1969 Porsche 911 E to R Specification

Lot #256 (Sale Order 58 of 80)

1969 ushered in the first major changes to the iconic Porsche 911. Retaining the unique and successful rear engine layout as well as the same basic styling, the majority of the changes to the 911 were internal. Dimensionally, the rear track and wheelbase grew, while the overall length stayed the same as the earlier cars. Mechanical fuel injection debuted this year as well in top-of-the-line 911S and the new 911E. The 911E received its name from Einspritzung, the German term for injection. Slotted between the base-model 911T and the potent 911S, the E, which replaced the 911L ‘Luxus’, featured improvements including a leather wrapped steering wheel, velour carpeting, vented brake discs, and golden script on the rear deck. The 911E proved popular, with 2,826 examples sold in 1969 alone. This Porsche 911 R is based on a 1969 Porsche 911 E with 901/09 engine and 5-speed gearbox 901/13. Delivered new to Japan in 1969, the car had just one owner until it was imported to Germany in 2012. After an extensive rebuild to 911 R specification, this 911 was painted in its original livery of Irish green and to works rallye specification. The amount of labour, carried out by the marque specialists is too extensive to print in the auction catalogue but is available for interested parties in the car’s history file. There is an experts report showing a valuation of €150,000 and a condition of 2+, and much more documentation showing in detail the work that has been carried out to obtain this amazing rallye 911 R to works homologation. Surely a snip at today’s estimate and as such not to be missed.

1996 Ferrari 355 Berlinetta

Lot #257 (Sale Order 59 of 80)

Introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in March of 1994, the Ferrari F355 Berlinetta was styled by Pininfarina and would be the successor to the ageing 348. It brought about a number of technological improvements that made it one of the best performing Ferraris of all time. The main features were the power steering and the electronically controlled variable damping; the damping made all the difference, as it could make the car totally comfortable whilst cruising, but it could also instantly stiffen up as the driver pushed the car harder. All in all, the 355 was far more forgiving and drivable than the 348, making for a much more enjoyable experience overall. The 355 nomenclature signified a new 3.5-litre engine with five valves per cylinder, which meant more performance in a lighter package, resulting in much higher revving than its predecessor. In its time, this engine was state of the art and featured a new engine management system and a larger, more sophisticated exhaust system, which meant drastically improved performance. Top speed was 183 mph and 0–60 mph was an impressive 4.7 seconds, whilst a 0–100 mph run took just 10.7 seconds. This engine produced what is considered by many to be the best Ferrari V-8 sound of all time. This Ferrari F355 comes to us from an important collection and presents itself in superb condition throughout. Being equipped with the desirable F1 gearbox and ABS the car is accident free, has a new TÜV to 2019 and the total mileage stands at a modest 51,000. This car is sensibly reserved and so offers an opportunity to buy a prestigious sports car, indeed a Ferrari.

2013 Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS Roadster

Lot #258 (Sale Order 60 of 80)

Although the relationship between Mercedes-Benz and AMG goes back 50 years, and they have been official partners for almost 25, the SLS-AMG was the first car designed in-house by the renowned performance tuners. The SLS Roadster and its Coupe sibling were viewed as spiritual successors to the iconic 300SL Roadster and Gullwing models of the 1950s, and immediately took over from the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren in 2010 at the high performance end of the Mercedes model range. The SLS (Sport Leicht Super) was largely assembled by hand, and was powered by what was at the time the most powerful normally aspirated series production engine ever produced. Although based upon the proven (and already potent) 6.2 Litre V8, the engine was modified to such an extent that it was given a new M-series engine code by AMG. Extensive use of lightweight components, balancing, engine re-mapping and changes to the lubrication system enabled a mighty 583 horsepower to be extracted, which propelled the car to 60 mph in a mere 3.8 seconds and onward to a maximum of 197 mph. In spite of its strong performance credentials, features such as the advanced traction control system, 175 litre boot capacity, heated seats, Thermotronic climate control system and high-speed hood – which took only 11 seconds to erect, and could be used up to speeds of 30 mph – made the AMG-SLS a genuine long distance GT car. The car on offer today has covered a mere 1,600 kilometres with just one owner from new. It is a European specification car, with 7 speed semi-automatic transmission, Bi-Xenon headlights and full AMG/ Bang & Olufsen sound system. Finished in the classic Mercedes colour combination of Silver with black interior and hood, and recently serviced at 1,300 kilometres, it is ready to be enjoyed by the new owner and is sure to become a classic and a sound investment in the coming years. NOTE : Interested parties should be aware that VAT is payable on this vehicle at the local prevailing rate.

1971 Alfa Romeo 1750 GTAm

Lot #259 (Sale Order 61 of 80)

The Alfa Romeo 105 series coupé, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Bertone was considered to be one of his greatest designs. Not only as one of the best looking and handling classic saloon cars of the period, but the advanced specification with its five-speed gearbox, all round disc brakes, independent suspension and powerful twin-cam engine still has the capability to embarrass many of its modern counterparts. These capable performance cars were soon factory modified for extra performance, with road versions (Stradalé) and competition (Corse) cars becoming the GTA (Grand Touring Alleggerita) and later the pure competition GTAm. The car on offer her today started life as a 1971 Alfa 1750 but has been through an extensive recent rebuild in order to bring it up to historic race specifications. The conversion was finished in 2016 and the car has been registered with az Historic Technical Passport by the FIA valid until 2026. The old 1750 engine was removed and replaced with a new 2-litre engine and race gearbox. The car also benefits from a new rear axle, disc brakes, sports seats and harnesses and aluminium door skins and bonnet. This is a great looking car and ready to take out on the track for the budding racing driver.

1989 Porsche 911 Speedster

Lot #260 (Sale Order 62 of 80)

In 1989 Porsche reintroduced one of their most iconic body styles – the Speedster. This uncompromising variant hadn’t been offered since 1959, a time when 356s were rolling out of the factory and the 911 was still five years from inception. The first 911 Speedster was displayed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1987 but it would be 16 months before production actually began in January 1989. Regular 911 Cabriolet body shells were used for the mechanically standard Speedster, these being equipped with a cut-down, more steeply raked aluminium framed windscreen and special frameless one-piece side windows. Both the standard narrow-body and wider Turbo shell were available in most markets although bizarrely only the latter could be specified in North America and Germany. Inside, the seat rails were dropped by 20mm, the seats themselves having been a combination of Sport backs with standard lower sections. The rear seats were disposed of and the vacant area carpeted like the Club Sport, an optional storage box (again like that of the CS) having been a sensible upgrade. A manual heater and wind-down windows were fitted as standard. 2065 Speedsters were built (all in 1989), 63 of which were imported to the UK in RHD specification, and 823 went to North America. This 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster is a German delivered matching numbers car and has been in the custody of only it’s third owner for over 20 years. With a total mileage of ca. 52,000 kms, the car is equipped with a sports exhaust system (the original exhaust is available), air conditioning, cruise control, leather interior, electric seats and polished wheels. Still in its original paint of Indian red, this immaculate speedster comes with full service history and TÜV to May 2019. Sensibly reserved and surely not to be missed by its next lucky owner.

1951 Kurt Baum Sports racing car

Lot #261 (Sale Order 63 of 80)

Based on a BMW 319 chassis this is a one off sports racing car with aluminium body and 1500 cc Alfa Romeo engine and 5 speed gearbox. It is one of the rare survivors of sport racers built in the German Democratic Republic in the early 1950`s and as such is an interesting piece of history. Much of its initial construction was saved from the current vendor who acquired and restored the car 30 years ago, when the GDR was still alive. Being used in various historic events all through its life, this historic 2 seater sports racer is supplied with a great deal of history, including a photographic documentation of its restoration and racing history which are all available in the cars file. Said to be in good condition and race ready, surely not to be missed at the shown estimate.

1959 Jaguar XK150 Fixedhead coupe

Lot #262 (Sale Order 64 of 80)

“The Jaguar XK150 is undeniably one of the world’s fastest and safest cars. It is quiet and exceptionally refined mechanically, docile and comfortable… we do not know of any more outstanding example of value for money.” -The Autocar What would turn out to be the final glorious incarnation of Jaguar’s fabulous ‘XK’ series of sports cars arrived in 1957. As its nomenclature suggests, the XK150 was a progressive development of the XK120 and XK140, retaining the same basic chassis, 3.4-litre engine and 4-speed Moss transmission of its predecessors while benefiting from a new, wider body that provided increased interior space and improved visibility courtesy of a single-piece wrap-around windscreen, replacing the XK140’s divided screen. Cleverly, the new body used many XK120/140 pressings, the increased width being achieved by means of a 4”-wide central fillet. A higher front wing line and broader radiator grille were other obvious differences, but the new model’s main talking point was its Dunlop disc brakes. Fade following repeated stops from high speed had been a problem of the earlier, drum-braked cars, but now the XK had stopping power to match its prodigious straight-line speed. Finished in the very desirable colour combination of black with red leather interior, this special XK150 is owned by a prominent private individual in the Jaguar world. Specialising in Jaguar he has used his knowledge to oversee important work to the car such as the fitment of a limited slip differential, new timing chain, valves, spark plugs, rear brake cylinder & servo, carburettor and ignition adjustment and has tuned the engine and transmission which we are now told run very well. The car is said to be in very good condition all-round including its Burl wooden dashboard, spoke wheels, original XK150 steering wheel, extinguisher and stainless steel exhaust system. Electrics have been completely redone and a new wiring loom fitted, including that for the period headlights, auxiliary fan with adjustable temperature range, 2 x 12 volt batteries in parallel and anti-theft immobilizer.

1963 Maserati 3500 GTi

Lot #263 (Sale Order 65 of 80)

Despite numerous racetrack successes that included Juan Manuel Fangio’s fifth World Championship – at the wheel of a 250F – and runner-up spot in the World Sportscar Championship with the fabulous 450S, both in 1957, the marque’s most successful season, Maserati was by that time facing a bleak future. Its parent company’s financial difficulties eventually forced a withdrawal from racing and Maserati’s survival strategy for the 1960s centered on establishing the company as a producer of road cars. The Modena marque’s new era began in 1957 with the launch of the Touring-bodied 3500GT, its first road model built in significant numbers. A luxury ‘2+2’, the 3500GT drew on Maserati’s competition experience, employing a tubular chassis frame and an engine derived from the 350S sports car unit of 1956. Its designer was none other than Giulio Alfieri, creator of the immortal Tipo 60/61 ‘Birdcage’ sports-racer and the man responsible for developing the 250F into a World Championship winner. The twin-overhead-camshaft, six-cylinder engine was a close relative of that used in the 250F and developed around 220bhp initially on carburettors, later examples producing 235bhp on Lucas mechanical fuel injection. Built initially with drum brakes and four-speed transmission, the 3500GT was progressively updated, gaining five speeds, front disc brakes and, finally, all-disc braking before production ceased in 1964. The wonderful 3500 GTi on offer today was the subject of an in-depth restoration from 2005 onwards. Finished in arguably the best colour combination for a 3500 – gunmetal grey over red this wonderful example of the marque is also reported to be in excellent mechanical order. 3500GTs continue to gain popularity among collectors and are an excellent value compared to their Ferrari equivalents. Their handsome styling and luxurious appointments make them standout cars of their era. It is increasingly difficult to find good examples like this one. The presentation of this 3500GT makes it stand out from its peers and it is no doubt going to attract attention and admiration where ever it goes.

1985 Porsche 911 Cabriolet

Lot #264 (Sale Order 66 of 80)

Porsche revived the Carrera name – previously used for the competition orientated versions of the preceding 356 model – for its luxuriously equipped, top-of-the-range 911 in 1973, applying the evocative title to all 911 variants, coinciding with the introduction of the 3.2 litre engine, from the start of the 1984 model year. Although it remained an air-cooled flat six, the 3.2 motor was 80% new and incorporated an effective cam chain tensioner and associated lubrication system, which at last addressed a perennial 911 shortcoming. This enlarged and extensively revised new engine produced 231bhp, 27 horsepower more than its predecessor, endowing the Carrera with a level of performance approaching that of the original 911 Turbo of 1974, the bald statistics being a 0-60mph time of 5.3 seconds and a top speed of 152mph, with 100mph reachable in a breathtaking 13.6 seconds. A quarter of a century on, Carrera 3.2s are now highly sought after and for very good reason, though finding one in a condition such as this is not easy. This beautiful matching-numbers, three owners from new example is finished in its original and rare colour combination of “Grandprixweiss” with a “Perlweiss” leather interior. The 911 has covered a sensible 104,000 miles from new, and offered with the relevant Porsche certification, in addition to US title and proof of EU taxes paid. The bodywork is in very nice condition with no signs of rust, clean floors and attractive paint finish. The 911 has been well maintained over the years, as such it runs and drives well. A stunning, usable, fast and practical Porsche which can be enjoyed all year round.

1978 Volkswagen Beetle

Lot #265 (Sale Order 67 of 80)

One of the 20th Century’s truly great automobiles, the Volkswagen ‘Beetle’ spawned a host of derivatives, the longest enduring being the Cabriolet. A single prototype was built pre-war, but it was not until 1949 that production commenced, the bulk of which was entrusted to Karmann of Osnabruck whose four-seater Cabriolet appeared soon after the two-seater Hebmuller-built version. Only Karmann’s would stand the test of time, outliving the saloon and remaining ever fashionable, an instantly recognisable motoring icon to this day. Mechanical changes to the Cabriolet kept pace with those of the saloon until the latter’s production began to wind down in the early 1970s. This charming later 1978 model Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet was delivered to its first European owner in 1978. Approximately 9 years ago the Beetle benefitted from a restoration and mechanical rebuild, and we understand is now in “sublime” working and driving order. Finished in black with a black interior, tinted glass, a white convertible roof, and fitted with a stylish set of Empi wheels, this is a very attractive example of a really cool little summer cruising classic!

1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda

Lot #266 (Sale Order 68 of 80)

In March 1963 the new generation of SL sports cars was launched with the debut of the 230 SL at the Geneva Show. This revolutionary new model replaced the now ageing 190 and 300SL models. Mercedes engineering, together with elegance and practicality, made the pagoda top SL one of the most distinctive designs of its era. In closed form it offered handsome proportions and coupé-like comfort, whilst the easy removal of the pagoda hard top turned it into an open top sports car for the summer months. During the 1960s Mercedes-Benz refined the model, later fitting the 250 engine and finally arriving at the 280SL. As today, Mercedes-Benz motor cars were never cheap, but superb build quality and sophisticated styling made the 280SL an extremely popular sports car with the rich and famous. This beautiful Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda on offer today is equipped with the very rare manual 4-speed gearbox and sought after third rear seat. The bodywork is reported to have excellent panel gaps and be in excellent order. The interior is still original and displays a wonderful patina, complemented beautifully by a beige soft-top. The rare manual versions are the most desirable of the “Pagoda” Mercedes and as such are sought after by serious collectors and investors. Finished in Havanna Metallic with a Beige interior, this wonderful looking Mercedes would be at home in any collection or indeed just enjoyed on the road as it was originally built for.

1967 Ford Mustang V8 Convertible

Lot #267 (Sale Order 69 of 80)

The Ford Mustang was conceived in the full knowledge that in the mid-’60s the biggest population bubble in history was now coming of age in America, ‘baby boomers’ would rule the ‘60s and there was little or no reason to think they wanted to drive cars that were anything like the ones their parents owned. The iconic Ford Mustang, therefore, created a storm when it hit the streets and it still does to this day. Ford wanted to make the Mustang affordable and consequently it needed to share much of its engineering with an existing Ford product. They decided to base the Mustang on the smallest US Ford at the time, the Falcon. The Mustang was initially offered as either a ‘notchback’ coupé or convertible. It shared its front double-wishbone/coil spring and leaf spring rear suspension with the Falcon. Compared to the Falcon the cockpit sat further back on the chassis, resulting in a longer front end and shorter rear end design, both its roof and bonnet were also lower in comparison. It’s with those proportions, and detailed with such iconic touches such as the galloping horse in the grille, the cut-away side panels and the rear lights divided into three sections, that the Mustang became a car that people were instantly passionate about. This wonderful 1967 Ford Mustang Convertible is finished in the very period late 1960s combination of Lime Green Poly metallic paint with a white vinyl interior. The ‘Stang is powered by the lusty 4.7 litre, 200bhp motor with a rare and now desirable manual gearbox option. The Mustang has benefitted from light restoration works, and is now presented in very good condition. A great classic car for summer cruising, just fill with friends or family and take off for the day!

2004 Aston Martin DB7 GT

Lot #268 (Sale Order 70 of 80)

In 1999, the more powerful DB7 V12 Vantage was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show. Its 5.9 litre, 48-valve, V12 engine produced 420bhp and 400lb·ft of torque. It has a compression ratio of 10.3:1. Transmissions were available with either a TREMEC T-56 six speed manual or a ZF 5HP30 five speed automatic gearbox. Aston Martin claimed it had a top speed of either 186mph with the manual gearbox or 165mph with the automatic gearbox, and would accelerate from 0–60mph in 4.9 seconds. In 2002, a new variant was launched, named V12 GT or V12 GTA when equipped with an automatic transmission. It was essentially an improved version of the Vantage, its V12 engine producing 435bhp and 410lb·ft of torque for the manual GT, although the automatic GTA retained the 420bhp and 400lb·ft of torque of the standard DB7 Vantage. Additionally, the GT and GTA chassis had substantially updated suspension from the DB7 Vantage models. Aesthetically, compared to the Vantage it has a mesh front grille, vents in the bonnet, a boot spoiler, an aluminium gear lever, optional carbon fibre trim and new wheels. It also has 355mm front and 330mm rear vented disc brakes made by Brembo. When being tested by Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear in 2003, he demonstrated the car’s ability to pull away in fourth gear and continue until it hit the rev limiter: the speedometer indicated 135mph. Production of the GT and GTA was extremely limited, as only 190 GT’s and 112 GTA’s were produced worldwide. This 5.9 litre V 12 Aston Martin is one of those limited edition GT’s. Coming to Coys from its only owner and with a full service history and all books, this optimized sport version is finished in metallic black with grey leather interior. Capable of a top speed of 300 km/h, it has been driven mostly on the German Autobahnen and its total mileage is ca. 78000 kms. The car is one of several other sport scars owned by this collector and is described as in mint condition with a TÜV to 2019. A superb investment and a wonderful machine from the prestigious Aston Martin family.

1963 Alfa Romeo 2600 Betone

Lot #269 (Sale Order 71 of 80)

Introduced in 1962, Alfa Romeo’s 106-Series 2600 range was a direct replacement for the preceding 102-Series 2000 cars. The latter’s chassis design and body styles were retained, with minor revisions and improvements, but in place of the old, long-stroke, 2.0-litre, four-cylinder engine was a new, 2,584cc, twin-cam six clearly descended from the immensely successful Giulietta. A maximum output of 145bhp was claimed for this unit when installed in the Sprint coupé and Spider, good enough for a top speed of around 200km/h in 5th gear, and Cars Illustrated magazine reckoned this magnificent power unit “one of the smoothest, quietest running sixes, irrespective of the speed at which it is running, in our experience.” Carrozzerias Touring and Bertone were responsible for the 2600 Spider and Sprint Coupé respectively, both of which looked like their 2000 predecessors. Approximately 2,255 Spiders and 6,999 Sprint Coupés were produced between 1962 and 1966, and today these rare and under-appreciated models are becoming increasingly sought after by discerning collectors. This particular example comes from a Danish Alfa Romeo Collection where the last owner had the car cared for and caressed for the last 10 years. It is mechanically in excellent condition with engine, brakes and gearbox working very well. Fitted with period extra instruments for Volt and Ampere measurement. Bodily the car was subject to a restoration during the previous vendors tenure. It still presents in fantastic overall condition.

1990 Porsche 964 Carrera 4

Lot #270 (Sale Order 72 of 80)

The Porsche 964 is the company’s internal name for the Porsche 911 manufactured and sold between 1989 and 1994. Designed by Benjamin Dimson through January 1986, it featured significant styling revisions over previous 911 models, most prominently the more integrated bumpers. It was the first generation 911 to be offered with Porsche’s optional Tiptronic automatic transmission and all-wheel drive as options. The 964 was considered to be 85% new as compared to its predecessor, the Carrera 3.2. The first 964s available in 1989 were all-wheel drive equipped “Carrera 4” models; Porsche added the rear wheel drive Carrera 2 variant to the range in 1990. Both variants were available as a coupe, Targa or Cabriolet. A new naturally aspirated engine called the M64 was used for 964 models, with a flat-6 displacement of 3.6 litres. Porsche substantially revised the suspension, replacing torsion bars with coil springs and shock absorbers. Power steering and ABS brakes were added to the 911 for the first time; both were standard. The exterior bumpers and fog lamps became flush with the car for better aerodynamics. A new electric rear spoiler raised at speeds above 50 mph (80 km/h) and lowered down flush with the rear engine lid at lower speeds or at rest. Performance was brisk to say the least, with a top speed of 261 km/h. The European specification 964 for sale here is the all-wheel drive Carrera 4 model. It benefits from a manual gearbox and will therefore appeal to the purist Porsche enthusiast. Provided with a full service history, the car was sold new in Germany and subsequently restored in 2006 with a 993 body kit and was exported to Denmark in 2009. Today the car comes with all-wheel drive 18” turbo wheels, sunroof, xenon headlights, ABS, all its books and Danish title documents. An extensive service was done this year which included a new clutch being fitted.

1995 TVR Chimaera

Lot #271 (Sale Order 73 of 80)

The TVR Chimaera was launched at the British Motor Show in 1992 and, unusually for TVR, the ‘show’ car looked as if it was actually production-ready, and so it proved. At the time, TVR were basking in the adulation heaped upon the Griffith, and the Chimaera only served to reinforce the perception that here was a home-grown manufacturer capable of mixing it with the big boys. The ‘S’ series of cars were, at the time, still selling well, but with the advent of the Chimaera, TVR’s management knew that their immediate future was V8 powered. Both the ‘S’ and Griffith range were all-out sports models, and the Chimaera’s emphasis was slightly softer, but it was all fairly relative and in Blackpool parlance soft and TVR are not normally bedfellows. Legend has it that during the styling of the Chimaera, TVR boss Peter Wheeler’s dog, Ned, took a bite out of one of the foam models. Wheeler decided that he liked the new styling feature and incorporated the recesses to house the front indicators! The Chimaera’s underpinnings were based on the Griffith’s, which were in turn based on the Tuscan racer. Different dampers and an anti-roll bar were fitted, as was a more accommodating boot to reinforce the new car’s Grand Touring image. The Chimaera was originally destined to house the all-new AJP8 engine designed and built by TVR. Development issues surrounding this engine meant that the trusty Rover V8 based engines were used – 240bhp 4.0 (also available in 275bhp High-Compression) 280bhp 4.3, 285bhp 4.5-litre or 340bhp 5.0-litre capacity. Another little-known fact is that the Chimaera was planned to replace the Rover-engined Griffith, but demand for both models was sufficient to justify their existence. The 4.3-litre car lasted until 1994, whereupon it was replaced by the 4.0-litre High Compression model, the range-topping 5.0-litre model being introduced shortly before. The 4.0-litre HC, in turn, gave way to the 4.5-litre in 1996, and the base 4.0-litre was deleted in 1998. This lovely example was delivered from new to its first Dutch owner in 1995, finished in the stylish colour scheme of Masons Black with a Plum Red Leather interior. Showing under 60,000 kilometres recorded from new, and offered with relevant service books, this is a nicely presented example of what has become a true modern classic.

1984 Opel Manta Group A Rallye

Lot #272 (Sale Order 74 of 80)

It was in 1981 when the futuristic Manta 400 first débuted in the UK, driven by Tony Fall. It was at this time that Jimmy McRae was competing in the Opel Ascona 400. Fall was confident he could make the Manta competitive in a few months. It took until 1983 before the FIA gave the official stamp of approval, and the new rally car made its world début in Corsica, driven by Guy Fréquelin. Unlike the Ascona 400, the Manta makes full use of Kevlar body panels; the front panel, front wings, hood, doors, rear arches, boot lid, spoiler and even headlight holders are all made from the lightweight material, saving a total of 80 kg. To further help distribute the weight, the engine was moved back six cm. With a number of improvements, the Manta 400 was ultimately more competitive than its predecessor. The Cosworth engine, unlike its 144 bhp baby brother, produces 275 bhp in phase 3, in Weber carburetted form. This Opel Manta was converted by its previous owner in Switzerland with no expense spared a number of years ago and still presents itself in stunning overall condition. Fitted with the 2-litre OHC injected engine, and with authentic full rally gear, roll cage, fuel cell etc it would make the perfect entrant to the ever growing 1980’s international Historic Rally scene. A car for the cognoscenti.

1974 Alfa Romeo 1300 GT

Lot #273 (Sale Order 75 of 80)

The Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior was the entry model to the Alfa Romeo coupé range. It was introduced in 1965 as the replacement for the 101 series Giulia Sprint 1300, which was the final development of the Giulietta Sprint series. The GT 1300 Junior was fitted with the same 1300 (1290 cc) twin cam engine, as fitted to the Giulietta series cars, but revised for the 105 series with reduced port sizes and other modifications. The smaller engine was introduced in order to allow buyers to choose an Alfa Romeo coupé while avoiding the higher taxes on the models with larger engine capacity, especially in Alfa Romeo’s home Italian market. The GT 1300 Junior was in production for over a decade. Throughout this period it was updated by the factory, incorporating many of the same revisions applied to the larger-engined models. Together with the Giulia 1300 Ti, the GT 1300 Junior pioneered the use of ATE disc brakes as later fitted throughout the 105 series, replacing the Dunlop discs on earlier cars. The first few GT 1300 Juniors lacked a brake servo, and had the low rear wheel arches of the Giulia Sprint GT and Giulia Sprint GTV. From 1967, a servo was fitted as standard, together with higher rear wheel arches as adopted later on the 1750 GTV. In 1968, concurrently with the replacement of the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce by the 1750 GTV, the GT 1300 Junior was revised with many of the new parts from the 1750 GTV. This included the dashboard, the suspension and larger wheels. In 1970 the Junior was revised a second time, and received the same nose treatment as the 1750 GTV, without the step but with only two headlights. For 1972, new wheels featuring smaller hubcaps with exposed wheel nuts like those on the 2000 GTV were fitted. This wonderful Alfa Romeo by Italian coachbuilder Bertone is very nicely restored and in largely original and excellent condition. It is finished in light ivory with original black leatherette interior and shows a mileage of ca. 95,000 kms. Further equipped with a sliding sunroof, this Dutch registered Alfa Romeo is described as absolutely ready to enjoy and has a sensible reserve.

1980 Ferrari 400i

Lot #274 (Sale Order 76 of 80)

The Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2, 400 and 412 (Tipo F101) are front-engined V12 2+2 grand tourers made by Ferrari between 1972 and 1989. The three cars are closely related, using the same body, chassis and engine evolved over time. After Ferrari’s custom, their numeric names refer to the engines’ single cylinder displacement expressed in cubic centimetres, and therefore changed with each update to reflect the increasing displacement. The 365 GT4 2+2 was introduced in 1972 to replace the 365 GTC/4. It then evolved into the 400, the first Ferrari equipped with automatic transmission. In 1979 the 400 was replaced by the fuel injected 400i. Finally, the improved 412 was introduced in 1985 and phased out in 1989, bringing to an end Ferrari’s longest ever production series. Differences between the 400 and 400i were limited to the fuel injected engine and an “i” badge on the tail. A total of 1305 examples were produced, 883 automatics and 422 GTs. One of only 883 made this wonderful EU specification automatic 400i we are informed is absolutely free of corrosion and has over the past few years received a body-off respray and interior re-trim. Additional works that have been completed over recent years including refreshing the exhaust system, spark plugs, oil and filters. Finished in the iconic colour combination of Rosso Corsa with beige leather interior and described to be in good to excellent condition throughout, this is a great example of a fast appreciating classic. A fun yet practical 2+2 Ferrari and one with desirable EU specification.

1976 Porsche 930 Turbo

Lot #275 (Sale Order 77 of 80)

Group 4 homologation rules, which required 400 road cars to be built before F.I.A approval for international racing was granted, and led to the creation of ‘Project 930’ – the legendary Porsche 911 Turbo. Production began in April 1975: The Turbo married a KKK turbocharger to the 3.0 litre RSR engine, which in road trim delivered 260bhp and a top speed of 155mph. As impressive as this was, there was more to the Turbo than just top speed. It was also the best equipped 911 produced until that point, amazingly flexible – hence there being only a four speed gearbox – as well as being formidably fast. Indeed, standstill to 100mph was achieved in a mere 14 seconds. Borrowing the flared wheel arches and ‘tea tray’ rear spoiler from the Carrera model, the Turbo had aggressive looks to match the performance. It also incorporated the most luxurious interior yet seen in a 911, with leather upholstery, air conditioning and electric windows. One of only 644 Turbos manufactured in 1976 for the European market, this example is finished in the desirable colour combination of red over tanned interior. Supplied with a Porsche certificate of authenticity and service history, this wonderful matching numbers example has been subject to a recent renovation with costs in excess of €28,000 EUR. Described to be in excellent condition throughout, this represents a fantastic opportunity to purchase a matching numbers 930 Turbo finished in Guards red over brown. Offered with a very realistic reserve.

1966 ACA Sbarro Spider

Lot #276 (Sale Order 78 of 80)

Franco Sbarro who built this Barchetta in 1966, needs no introduction. Based on a NSU TT chassis, the car was intended as a race car for junior drivers, however turned out to be too expensive and so the car on offer here, remained a one off example and interestingly the first one that Sbarro realised as a self-employed designer and constructor. The car went into Mr. Sbarro’s own museum in Switzerland until 2006, when it was purchased by Swiss Ernst Sigg who started a complete restoration, details of which can be viewed in the cars file. Mr. Sigg took part in various historic motor events in Switzerland, Germany and Italy. Bought by the now vendor in 2011, who is only the 2nd private owner, the car was imported to Germany and received historic registration documents after further expenditure. Currently the spider, which is visually similar to an Abarth 1000 SP, weighs ca. 500 kg and is equipped with a NSU 1300 cc. engine providing ca. 100 HP. Beautifully presented it comes with German registration documents and a TÜV to September 2018. Presented in excellent condition throughout.

1982 Toyota Land Cruiser

Lot #277 (Sale Order 79 of 80)

The Toyota Land Cruiser, in its many sizes and configurations has had a long and successful history of reliable service through the most rugged of conditions. Patterned after the ubiquitous Jeep and Land Rover utility vehicles, the Land Cruiser demonstrated that Toyota could produce much more than just economical cars. Introduced in 1960, the FJ40 and its variants remained in production for a quarter century, the kind of longevity that demonstrates true value, quality and utility. They became indispensable in unsettled and remote areas of the world, hauled safaris through Africa, developed a devoted following among America’s off-road culture and have spawned a host of imitators. The Land Cruiser’s popularity and utility is reflected in the number of variants in which it was built. There were in fact so many that it is probably impossible to identify all of them, but they came in a short, medium, long, and extra-long wheelbase, with a variety of roofs, half cabs, soft tops and doors, with four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. They climb mountains, cross deserts and rivers, balance their way over rock falls – they are one of the archetypical utility vehicles and today finding a good vintage example can be difficult. This stunningly restored 1982 model BJ42 comes from a private collection of these Toyota models, and features the strong 3.4-litre four-cylinder diesel engine with the useful addition of power steering. Additionally the Land Cruiser is fitted with an electric winch, roll bar, rear seats, freewheel hubs and uprated suspension (both shock absorbers and springs). This Toyota is an iconic classic car which can be used for all manner of activities – offering huge amounts of fun with rugged classic looks.

1984 Porsche 928 Series 2

Lot #278 (Sale Order 80 of 80)

The Porsche 928 is a luxury GT car produced by Porsche AG of Germany from 1978 to 1995. Originally intended to replace the company’s well-known and famed 911, the 928 combined the power, poise, and handling of a sports car with the refinement, comfort, and equipment of a luxury sedan to create what some Porsche executives thought would be a vehicle with wider appeal than the compact, quirky and sometimes difficult 911. The 928 featured a large, front-mounted and water-cooled V8 engine driving the rear wheels. Originally displacing 4.5L and featuring a single overhead camshaft design, it produced 219bhp for the North American market and 237bhp in other markets. Resembled by the complete service history found in its history file, this 928 has been thoroughly looked after by its fastidious owner. A truly remarkable example that is very original yet in very good all-round condition. While usable as a luxurious daily driver still to this day, these second generation 928’s with their technical upgrades and producing up to 310bhp are also truly remarkable GT sports cars.
