The Alfa Romeo 1750 and 2000 Berlinas (both 105 series) were executive 4 seater saloon cars produced by Alfa Romeo between 1968 and 1977. Berlina is the Italian for ‘saloon’ and both cars had Alfa Romeo’s fabulous twin cam inline-four engines. The 1.8-litre 1750 Berlina was produced between 1968 and 1971 and then phased out in favour of the 2.0 litre Berlina which continued in production until 1977. This excellent example of the earlier 1750cc model was first registered in Italy in January of 1969, later being imported into Holland by Italian car specialist Montagna d’Oro. The Alfa is offered with all bills and and a full history file. This is an exceptional example of a rare sporting saloon car of the 1970s, one which we are sure will provide its next enthusiastic owner plenty of enjoyment.

Having established himself as a serious automobile manufacturer with the Mangusta coupÌ Alejandro De Tomaso commissioned Lamborghini designer Gianpaolo Dallara to produce the chassis for his new midengined supercar the Pantera Dallara opted for unitary construction for the steel chassisbody Ò abandoning the Mangustas backbone frame Ò and competitionspecification double wishbonecoilspring suspension all round The Ford Motor Company was De Tomasos partner at the time of the Panteras introduction in 1971 and thus the Pantera like the Mangusta relied on Ford V8 power Mated to an allsynchro ZF fivespeed transaxle the 58litre Cleveland engine varied in output depending on the destination market and in European trim came with 330bhp on tap enabling the Pantera to complete the 060mph sprint in a little over 5 seconds and touch 160mph flat out Styled by Tom Tjaarda at Carrozzeria Ghia the stunning coupÌ body was in fact built by Vignale both companies being part of De Tomasos empire in the early 1970s De Tomasos longstanding relationship with the Ford Motor Company led to an arrangement whereby the Pantera was distributed through select LincolnMercury dealerships in the USA where a lower compression 248bhp Cleveland motor meeting stricter emissions regulations was introduced for 1972 The 1974 energy crisis led to a parting of the ways between Ford and De Tomaso who continued to sell the Pantera in Europe Exceptionally longlived for a supercar the Pantera was still around in the 1990s having undergone a series of upgrades The first of these had appeared on the Lusso luxury ÷L model of 1972 which featured ÷impact resistant bumpers and improved cooling and air conditioning systems Flared wheel arches distinguished the GTS model of 1974 which in European trim came with a 350bhp engine larger wheelstyres and other performance enhancements Introduced at approximately the same time was the GT4 a development of the Group 4 competition cars of 197273 This low mileage Pantera in GTS specification served for years as the demonstrator car of the Californian importer of De Tomaso cars In view of this the car was equipped with the best specification available and having been a showpiece of various fairs It was regularly transported in a truck meaning the modest mileage it has covered to this day is only 16228 During a no expense spared full restoration the 5 litre V8 engine was fitted with a big Holley carburettor and upgraded The car is also equipped with a bigger cooling system and bigger brakes The interior has been retrimmed and Ford Motorsport seats are supplied This wonderful Pantera is now ready to go a mint super sports car with a pedigree and nothing for the faint hearted

The Ford Mustang was conceived in the full knowledge that in the mid 1960s the biggest population bubble in history was now coming of age in America ÷baby boomers would rule the 1960s 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 coupÌ or convertible It shared its front doublewishbonecoil 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 Its with those proportions and detailed with such iconic touches such as the galloping horse in the grille the cutaway 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 47 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

FIRST OWNER FOR 48 YEARS - TWO OWNERS FROM NEW As the first serial production car to wear the Porsche name, the 356 was the car that set the company firmly in the direction of building high quality, cleverly engineered sports cars that could punch well above their weight both on the road and at the circuit, a philosophy that has changed little today. The 356 was a relatively simple car that shared its basic layout with the Volkswagen Beetle and utilized a monocoque chassis design and a highly reworked version of the VW’s flat-four cylinder engine slung out behind the rear axle. For his own car, Dr. Porsche dramatically improved the VW engine with new heads, new cam, new crankshaft and other internals, as well as a dual carburetor intake. The result was an engine that revved freely and produced double the horsepower of the Beetle from whence it came. True to the Porsche ethos, the 356 was continuously being refined and revised over its 17-year production run without ever really being fully redesigned, and by the end of the run in 1965, horsepower had nearly doubled again from the first 356s. Along with its continual mechanical refinement, the 356 was offered in many different body configurations sourced through a variety of German coachbuilders. Standard cars included the Coupé, Cabriolet, and Speedster. There were also Notchback, Roadster and Convertible ‘D’ variants, most featuring subtle differences in the shape of the body. Perhaps the purest expression of the 356 as a driver-focused sports car was the Speedster. It first appeared in 1955 at the suggestion of the influential American importer, Max Hoffman who believed that a stripped-down, lower-cost 356 would sell well in America, particularly in sunny California where sports car racing was all the rage. He believed that a lightweight car with simple equipment could be readily set up for track duty and driven home at the end of the day. Hoffman proved right and the Speedster was an instant hit. Instantly recognisable by virtue of its low, wraparound – as opposed to V-shaped – windscreen, smaller and entirely retractable hood, lower door waistline, horizontal trim strip at the level of the door handles, and twin bucket seats, all of which served to emphasise its sporting image. Powered initially by the 1.5-litre version of Porsche’s horizontally opposed four, upgraded to the new 1.6-litre, 60bhp engine with the introduction of the improved 356A in 1955. Priced at $2,995, the Speedster was the lightest of the 356s, enjoying a commensurate performance boost that meant over 100mph was possible. Allied to its already renowned handling characteristics, this meant that these elegant little cars were an instant success in the burgeoning American sports car racing scene. Production was relatively short, however, running from 1955 through 1958, when it was replaced by the heavier, more luxurious Convertible ‘D’. Today, the Speedster remains one of the most highly sought-after and collectible variations on the 356 theme. This beautiful 356 ‘A’ Speedster was first registered to the United States in September 1956, and was loved and enjoyed by just one owner until 2004, a total of 48 years. Our current Belgian owner has enjoyed the car for over a decade, during which time the Speedster benefited from sympathetic restoration and refurbishment, and in particular much mechanical work over the past 2 years. Presented in Ivory with a black interior and convertible roof, and supplied with a thick history file containing older correspondence, period photographs and current Belgian registration papers, this is a fine example of one of the most desirable of post-war sportscars.

993 is the company’s internal name for the version of the Porsche 911 model manufactured and sold between late 1993 and early 1998 (model years 1995-1998 in the United States), replacing the 964. Its discontinuation marked the end of air-cooled Porsches, with the 993 being not just the last air-cooled 911, but also the last of the hand built 911s. The 993 generation of the 911 is often referred to as the best and most desirable of the 911 series, not only because of its beauty, but also because its performance is very good, even by modern standards, and the 993 was “the last complete ‘modern classic’”; “the 993 was and forever will be that last fresh breath of air that Porsche gave the world; elegance and muscle all in one package.” The book “Porsche 993 – Essential Companion” refers to the 993 as the “King of Porsche,” and it is generally acknowledged as “The purists’ Holy Grail. This particular 993 Cup Car was extensively campaigned during the 1994 FIA World Championship Porsche Cup Series. Restored and well-prepared, further details are available upon request.

Designed by Benjamin Dimson in 1986 Porsche introduced the 964 Turbo model in March 1990 as the successor to the 930 choosing to adopt the wellproven 33 litre engine from the 930 with several minor revisions that made the engine smoother less prone to turbo lag and more powerful Power was improved with an output of 320bhp at 5750 rpm A modest total of 3660 of the 964 Turbo were built across all markets making them very collectableThis stunning 33 Litre 964 Turbo is finished in the rare colour combination of Metallic black over Matador red leather interior and still retains its matching number engine and transmissionOffered with an extensive history file with invoices totalling nearly å115000 GBP including a å35000 engine overhaul in 2006 the addition of a blitz K5C470R turbocharger motec ECU and ÷Big Red OEM braking system More recently the car has been fitted with a coilover suspension and RH 36 Turbostyle wheels It can be noted that all modifications are desirable options however can easily be reverted back to original specificationThe Matador red interior has been wellpreserved and the door panels rear seats rear side panels parcel shelf headliner and dashboard are all described to be in good condition throughout Based on the condition of the car and the available service documentation the mileage of 117000km is believed to be correct It was in 2006 and at 80000km that the 964 turbo received its engine overhaulOverall this 964 Turbo is a mostly original two owner car offered with an extensive file that covers its servicing and its few highquality modifications original manuals and in a very desirable colour combinationThe owner informs us that the car is very fun to drive however one must pay attention when the turbos kick in

Introduced at the 1973 Paris Motor Show the Dino 308 GT4 was a significant departure for Ferrari in several ways It was the first production car from Modena to feature a midengined V8 a layout that would become common to their core range for decades to come along with the first production model to feature Bertone styling rather than Pininfarina bodywork The styling was controversial at the time with some journalists comparing it to the Bertonedesigned Lancia Stratos and Lamborghini Urraco The chassis was based on the Dino 246 but was stretched to make space for a 22 Configuration The 30 Litre V8 was integrally joined with the gearbox and had an alloy block and heads with dual overhead camshafts fed through 4 Weber 40 DCNF carburetors The GT4 was replaced by the Mondial 8 in 1980 after a production run of 2826 308s and 840 208s This early 308 GT4 Dino was delivered new to France in 1974 In the last 43 years the car has covered just 55000 kilometres and has benefitted from restoration work in more recent years The bodywork was treated to a repaint in Rosso Corsa approximately 7 years ago and still presents well The motor has been treated to a rebuild and the brakes have also been recently overhauled The 308 has also benefited from a fresh service with other small items being attended to As you might expect the Ferrari drives very well with the smooth yet powerful V8 motor Offered with French registration papers this is a very nice example of an early and increasingly desirable V8engined Ferrari

Put into production in July 1964 the 911 presaged the end of 356production It was July 1965 before the 911 made it to the US and customers immediately noticed the differences from its predecessor In addition to being more modern and more powerful it was also more expensive nearly 2000 more than the comparable 356 model In Europe too this was a problem Thus by April 1965 a transitional model entered production Essentially a 911 with a 356type flat four the new car designated 912 was not only less expensive selling at near356 prices but enjoyed more even weight distribution and better economy The combination of the fourcylinder engine and the slipperier 911 design was capable of achieving 30 mpgFinished in the appealing colour combination of Golf blue with black interior this wonderful example still retains its original 16L Flat4 engine 746825 producing 90 hp through a 5speed manual transmission This 67 912 also features the external temperature gauge in Fahrenheit 5gauge dash and wooden steering wheelDescribed to run and drive well the car presents nicely with special mention to its interior With vintage Porsche values on the sharp rise this 1967 car makes a great entry point into the 912 market

The Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider was launched in 1958 using practically the same engine and running gear as the far more ubiquitous Alfa Romeo Berlina Coupe, but with a tuned engine and a spectacular convertible monocoque body designed by the famous coachbuilders, Touring of Milan. The four cylinder engine had the same displacement as the Berlina, but produced 115bhp at 5,700rpm, as opposed to the coupe’s 105bhp at 5,300rpm. This was due to the addition of twin carburettors and an improved compression ratio of 8.5:1. This produced a top speed of 109mph, as opposed to the Berlina’s 99mph. One of only 3440 produced, this wonderful example comes from a Danish Alfa Romeo collection in which the last owner lavished much care on the Alfa over his 10 year ownership. The Spider is mechanically in excellent condition with engine, brakes and gearbox functioning very well. The beautiful original interior is still in place, with original instruments. Bodily the car was subject to a restoration during the previous vendor’s tenure, and presents very well with beautiful paint, and very nice chrome. Still in fantastic overall condition, this is a supremely stylish motor car and a true joy for its next owner.

Much of the Porsche 911s development had resulted from the factorys racing program and it was the then FIA Group 4 homologation rules which required 400 road cars to be built which spurred the development of ÷Project 930 Ò the legendary 911930 Turbo In production from April 1975 the Turbo married a KKK turbocharger to the 30liter Carrera RSR engine in road trim a combination that delivered 260bhp for a top speed of 155mph But the Turbo wasnt just about top speed it was also the bestequipped 911 and amazingly flexible Ò hence only four speeds in the gearbox Ò being capable of racing from a standstill to 100mph in 14 secondsWhat set the 930 Turbo apart from its peers was the relaxed way this stupefying performance was delivered Comparing the Turbo to similarly quick ÷heman cars such as the Holman Moodytuned Cobra 427 and the Ford GT40 Motor÷s Roger Bell reckoned what made the Porsche so different was that it hurls you forward with similar velocity but in an uncannily quiet and effortless way To be shoved so hard in the back that you need highback seats to keep your head on yet neither to feel nor hear anything more than a muffled hum is a very odd sensation indeed in a car This wonderful early 930 Turbo was delivered new to Mahag Munchen Germany Most recently the car has received a full windows out respray in its original colour of Platindiamant with a complementary and very period dark green interior

ONE OWNER FROM NEW, BUILT TO GROUP 6 SPECIFICATION IN PERIOD - FRESH FROM COMPREHENSIVE RESTORATION BMW introduced a new two-door coupe that was built for BMW by Karmann in 1968 and production lasted until 1975. Named internally as the BMW E9, the first model to be produced was the 2800 CS which replaced the earlier 2000 C and 2000 CS coupe models. The wheelbase and length were increased to allow the engine bay to be long enough to accommodate the new straight-six engine code-named M30, and the front of the car was restyled to resemble the E3 sedan. The 2800 CS used the 2,788 cc version of the engine used in the E3 sedans and produced 170 horsepower. Not only was the 2800 CS lighter than the preceding 2000 CS, it also had a smaller frontal aspect, further increasing the performance advantage. The 2800CS was replaced by the 3.0 CS and 3.0 CSi in 1971. The engine had been bored out to give a displacement of 2,986. It was offered with twin carburettors in the 3.0 CS which produced 180 hp, or with fuel injection in the 3.0 CSi which produced 200 hp. Both cars were available as either a four speed manual or automatic. Performance of both the 3.0 CS and 3.0 CSi was very competitive compared with contemporaries. This stunning 3.0 CS comes from the first owner, who purchased the car new in 1973 and has developed and later restored the car over his near 45 year ownership. He drove the car for only a few months on the road before commissioning it to be built up to Group 6 specification as a spare car for his racing team. The rebuild of the motor to fast road/race specification was undertaken by Luigi Racing in Belgium. Less than fully satisfied with its performance, our vendor sent the car to known tuner Mannhart in Germany (now known as Mantec Racing). The current specification of the motor includes 45mm Weber DCOE carburetors, a BMW factory specification racing camshaft and crankshaft, a Facet Redtop Competition fuel pump, upgraded pistons and valves, a custom crankcase breather, and finally a custom-made free flowing exhaust with competition manifold. The motor has completed a mere 500kms since the rebuild. The upgraded motor is driven though the original 4 speed manual gearbox (a 5 speed Getrag gearbox is available by separate negotiation), and the original differential (a 100% lock differential is again available separately). Suspension is uprated with Bilstein B6 shock absorbers, BMW factory racing springs, and the fitting of strut braces to the top and bottom. The wheels have been upgraded with 16” Alpina-style rims on each corner. Of course during the rebuild all nuts, washers, rings, bearings and rubbers in the car are new or refurbished. Shortly after the build to Group 6 specification, the car was retired from racing and was stored by the vendor for the next 30 years, until the rebuild started in earnest approximately 10 years ago. During the restoration the bodywork was treated to galvanised doors, trunk lid and hood, in addition to a BMW factory racing front spoiler, and has been repainted in a possibly the best colour for this model of Polaris Silber. The interior has enjoyed a retrim in black leather and grey fabric, the fitting of new carpets and Silent Coat sound deadening, a new headlining, and upgraded Alpina steering wheel.
