1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS 350 Convertible

Highlights

In February 1968, newly commissioned naval officer Gary Kuist was preparing for deployment to Vietnam when he stepped into San Diego’s Courtesy Chevrolet and encountered the car that would remain a part of his life for more than five decades. Displayed on an elevated turntable in the showroom was this striking Granada Gold Camaro RS/SS 350 Convertible. Although sales staff attempted to direct his attention elsewhere, Kuist later recalled returning to “the car spinning above all the rest.” The salesman reportedly cautioned him, “Son, you don’t want that car – it’s used. The car has 75 miles on it, used in a parade with the homecoming queen sitting in back.” Undeterred, Kuist purchased the car on the spot.

First-Year Camaro Convertible with Four-Speed Manual Gearbox Desirably Equipped with Rally Sport and Super Sport Option Packages Retained, Cherished, and Restored by One Owner for More than 55 Years Finished in Its Attractive Original Granada Gold over Gold Color Scheme Awarded First in Class at the 2017 Montecito Motor Classic Offered with Owner’s Manual, Protection Plan, Documents, and Restoration Photographs

$65,000–$85,000 Without Reserve Chassis No. 124677L120334

Following his service, it remained a trusted companion through law school and, in his words, “far too many years of deadline racing from court to court.”

Retired from active use in later years, the Camaro became the subject of an exacting rotisserie restoration. Over a single weekend in 1990, Kuist completely disassembled the car, then spent the next 15 years returning it to show-quality condition.

Remaining in his care for the rest of his life, this beautifully restored RS/SS is now offered from his estate with original documents, restoration photographs, and historic California registrations.

1979 Porsche 928

Highlights

Finished in Silver Metallic over Cork leatherette and Pasha cloth upholstery, it is equipped with the desirable five-speed manual transaxle.

This Porsche’s rare and charismatic Pasha interior is believed by the consignor to be original, and a previous owner who bought the car in 1980 noted that he always used seat covers, with a towel in between for added protection. Various manufacturer stickers and rarely seen original accessories further highlight the car’s originality.

Displaying less than 48,000 miles at the time of cataloguing, this 928 is accompanied by its original bill of sale, invoices, books, tools, jack, and documentation. Increasingly difficult to find in such preserved condition, early five-speed 928s are especially sought after – particularly examples retaining the clean, spoiler-free purity of the original design.

1964 Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider

$140,000–$180,000 Without Reserve Chassis No. AR192644 Engine No. AR00601.04896 Coachwork by Touring

Highlights The Last Twin-Cam Inline-Six Alfa Romeo Model Rare and Desirable Touring-Bodied Spider Variant Recent Restoration; Upgraded with Weber Carburetors Gorgeous Black over Medium Tan Color Combination Open-Top 1960s Grand Tourer with Italian Styling

Debuted at Geneva in 1962, Alfa Romeo’s 2600 was the storied Italian marque’s flagship model line through 1967. It was available in three body styles: a four-door Berlina with factory bodywork, a Bertone-bodied coupe called the Sprint, and a 2+2 Spider featuring Superleggera (Super light) coachwork by Touring. Delivering a wonderful blend of characteristically Italian design and spirited driving dynamics, the Spider is quite rare, with only 2,255 examples built.

This beautifully restored example was discovered by the consignor as a Central California barn find, in unrestored but remarkably complete condition.

After acquiring the car, an extensive multiyear restoration was conducted by Vittorio and Onofrio

Di Leonardis of Alfa Italia in Burbank, California.

During this restoration, the Spider was refinished in an era-appropriate color combination of singlestage black paint with a medium tan leather interior. The correct-type AR00601 engine was rebuilt by Import Auto Parts Machine Shop of Santa Barbara, California. Upgrades applied during the rebuild include Weber 40 DCOE 2 carburetors, reprofiled camshafts by Richard Jemison, an electronic ignition distributor, and a high-torque starter motor. The original Solex carburetors and intake manifold accompany the car. This handsome and rare Italian convertible has yet to be displayed at major concours or club events since its restoration and will provide an ideal entry for its lucky next owner.

London-based specialist Graeme Hunt serviced the Bentley during its time there, as evidenced by invoices and correspondence on file. The consignor, a lifelong Bentley aficionado, brought the car to the US after 2015, where it joined his collection of British automobiles.

Accompanying the Bentley are its books, tool kit, jack, and a history file that includes copies of the original purchase order and factory test sheets.

Showing less than 18,500 miles when catalogued and remaining in gorgeous condition, this Continental Convertible is a stunning example of late-20th century British luxury motoring.

1969 Porsche 911 2.0 S

Highlights

By 1969, Porsche had established the 911 as one of the world’s premier sports cars. That year, the range-topping 911 S featured Bosch mechanical fuel injection, ventilated disc brakes, and a high-revving 170 hp flat-six. As documented on its Porsche Technical Certificate, this 911 was delivered new in the striking special-order shade of Zinc Yellow, referenced on the original bill of sale as RAL1018Ferrari Yellow. The car featured a black leatherette interior and its options included Recaro sport seats and a “special ratio gearbox for fast circuits.”

with his wife, driving to Italy and then shipping it to their home in California. Retaining a largely original character throughout, the Porsche was repainted around the early 1990s, and displays a charismatic patina commensurate with its age. The previous owner’s son reported that his father rebuilt the engine at 100,000 miles, with machine work by longtime California Porsche specialist Lukes & Shorman. The 911 was acquired in 2022 by the consignor after a remarkable 53 years of single family ownership.

The 911 was purchased in 1969 at Otto Glöckler in Frankfurt – one of the earliest Porsche dealerships – by the previous owner’s father, a pilot for Pan American Airways. He picked it up at the dealership

With its rare factory options, long-term California ownership, and striking color combination, this 911 S should excite Porsche aficionados.

1953 Chrysler Special

Highlights

By the early 1950s, America’s “Big Three” automakers were locked in competition to capture the attention of American car buyers. While Ford and GM often took to the auto shows with full-size mockups of their “car of tomorrow,” Chrysler took a decidedly different tack. Virgil Exner and his team of stylists envisioned fully engineered “Idea Cars” to be sold to well-heeled members of the public.

Coachwork by Ghia

A Highly Significant and Influential Automotive Design by Virgil Exner One of Approximately 16 Examples Built and an Estimated Eight Remaining Formerly Owned by Legendary Jockey Johnny Longden Retains Original and Important Documentation and Correspondence Offered from 46-Year Ownership and Unseen in Public for Decades

$250,000–$325,000 Chassis No. 7236150

It was soon registered to his address in Arcadia, California, not far from his “office” at the Santa Anita horse racing track. For a relatively short time during the 1950s, a woman in nearby San Marino owned the Chrysler Special. For added safety, she installed steel guards to protect the car’s irreplaceable, handformed bumpers and distinctive single-piece grille surround; the ports for the mounting brackets are still visible on the lower coachwork.

Following the K-310 and C-200 styling exercises, a short run of about 16 of the sleek Chrysler Special Coupes were built by Carrozzeria Ghia of Torino, Italy. The Special’s distinctive ultra-low roofline, minimal greenhouse, sparing use of brightwork, and inspired fender treatment came together brilliantly in one of the most exclusive and influential designs of its decade.

By 1960, the sleek coupe was in the ownership of Chrysler enthusiast Robert Frumkin of Los Angeles, who would retain it for nearly two decades. In a handwritten letter to Mr. Frumkin, dated 1976, Johnny Longden confirmed his purchase of the Chrysler in Paris, as well as its original color combination of gray and maroon.

Most, if not all, of the Chrysler Specials were retailed by France Motors, a Chrysler subsidiary in Paris. The car offered here was sold new via the Paris dealer in 1953 to famed thoroughbred jockey Johnny Longden. According to original documents that have remained with the car for over 70 years, Mr. Longden booked passage to the US for his Chrysler Special aboard the SS Liberte in September 1953.

In 1979, the Special was acquired by the current owner, a lifelong automotive historian and collector, who has preserved it in largely the same condition for nearly five decades. With the car’s odometer showing just over 58,000 km, he has never performed restoration work and believes that much of the interior material is original, including the door panels and leather on the folding rear seat in the luggage area.

LOT 106

Provenance Johnny Longden, Arcadia, California (acquired new via France Motors in 1953) Private Collection, San Marino, California (acquired circa late 1950s) Robert Frumpkin, Los Angeles, California (acquired by 1960) Current Owner (acquired from the above in 1979)

He adds that some have mistaken Chrysler Specials as the same series as Chrysler GS-1 cars of 1954, which feature a different design, higher rooflines, full bumpers, and more standardized parts. A closer look underscores the Specials as the handmade masterpieces that they are.

Kept out of the public eye for generations, this Chrysler Special is likely the last of its kind to

remain in unrestored condition. A significant automobile for both Chrysler and Carrozzeria Ghia – and created at a critical point for both companies – this rare Chrysler Special represents an important crossroads of styling and engineering.

Its next owner will have the enviable privilege of re-introducing it to fans of historic automobiles the world over.

Contemporary Porsche sources indicate that the earliest 1984 Cabriolets were specified through the Special Wishes department and may not have been recorded using the M491 option code adopted later.

Factory options included California emissions equipment, a tonneau cover, Blaupunkt Monterey radio, limited-slip differential, cruise control, and Tourist Delivery. Together with the Sonderwunsch “Z” designation, the specification suggests an

Originally finished in White (DB 50) over green leather upholstery, the Cabriolet was purchased new by Dr. Austin O’Malley of Massachusetts.

1962 Ferrari 250 GTE Series II

$300,000–$350,000 Chassis No. 3929 GT Engine No. 3929 Coachwork by Pininfarina

The 250 GTE was the first Ferrari to be developed using a wind tunnel, underscoring the marque’s growing emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency and refined, high-speed touring. While intended as a luxurious grand touring car, it retained roots firmly planted in Ferrari’s high-performance tradition.

Elegantly styled by coachbuilder Pininfarina, the 250 GTE was capable of comfortably accommodating four passengers in its luxurious Connolly leather interior. Ferrari built 954 examples of the 250 GTE between October 1960 and late 1963.

100,000 km. The man who had purchased it in the 1970s used the Ferrari for a short time before storing it in his parents’ garage. Once 3929 GT was in his possession, Mr. Berndsen enlisted Ferrari mechanic Bill Evensen at Maranello Motorworks in Northglenn, Colorado, to perform a major mechanical service; a retrim of the interior was completed at that time as well. The majority of the GTE’s paint is believed to be original, except around the driving lights, as the car was upgraded to the more modern Series III lights in period.

This example, chassis 3929 GT, the 578th completed, was sold to Enrico Bergoglio on January 5, 1963.

That June, it changed ownership and was reregistered with Torino plate number “TO 604463,” the same plate that it wears today. Later in the 1960s, the third owner relocated from Torino to Golden, Colorado, to further his education. After enjoying his Ferrari in the western US, he sold it in the early 1970s.

In 2018, chassis 3929 GT was acquired by the consignor, and underwent extensive electrical and suspension upkeep. Struck by the car’s originality, the consignor then set about the challenging process of reinstalling the original Connolly leather and carpets which, thankfully, had been retained following the retrim.

In 2014, Jeff Berndsen of Colorado Springs heard that a nearby resident might own a vintage sports car that had not been seen for decades. He contacted the owner and asked whether he could see the vehicle. To his surprise, in a dusty garage, he found this 250 GTE, then showing just under

The consignor’s commitment to preservation was detailed in an informative article in the Spring 2022 issue of the Ferrari GTE Register & Newsletter, which chronicled the painstaking process of reinstalling the car’s original interior.

Selections from The Robert Cole Collection From his beginnings in Minneapolis and attending university there to his time as an Air Force officer, which brought him to California in 1955, Robert B. “Bob” Cole has led a fascinating and accomplished life. His passion for fine, high-performance automobiles began at an early age and included significant victories in SCCA racing, primarily on the West Coast. Bob was a participant in the Pebble Beach Road Races and was involved in the founding of both Laguna Seca raceway and Sears Point raceway (now Sonoma).

In 1963, Bob began to establish his automobile dealerships in the San Francisco Bay area, which allowed him to pursue interests including yacht racing. He achieved numerous victories, and among them was the “Triple Crown” of West Coast yachting.

He holds an honorary lifetime membership at San Francisco’s exclusive St. Francis Yacht Club.

By the mid-1960s, Bob had also begun acquiring collectible automobiles which, over the decades, have included the famed “Blue Train” Bentley and

Woolf Barnato’s own Blower Bentley. While Bob has collected many marques, his primary focus has always tended toward British manufacturers, and his total number of acquisitions easily surpasses 150. In the 1970s, Bob co-founded The Candy Store in Burlingame, a members-only auto enthusiast club, headquartered in a 1920s Packard dealership; its motto is “Great Cars, Great People.”

In the concours world, in addition to the honor of receiving the Lorin Tryon Trophy in 2019, Bob has had many wins at Pebble Beach, including the Lord Montagu of Beaulieu Trophy and the Pebble Beach Cup, where he also served as a class judge for many years. His autobiography, Press on Regardless!

An American Life, was published in 2024.

Gooding Christie’s is honored to have counted Bob Cole as a friend for decades and is pleased to present this curated selection of some of his favorite automobiles.

1939 Bentley 4 1/4 Litre Sports Coupe SELECTIONS FROM THE ROBERT COLE COLLECTION

Highlights Sleek One-Off Styling by Park Ward Ltd. Dubbed the “Honeymoon Express” in Period A Masterpiece of Art Deco-Inspired Design with Numerous Modern and Unique Features Retains Matching-Numbers Engine per Factory Records Extremely Rare Two-Place Configuration on the Desirable MR-Series Overdrive 4 1/4 Litre Chassis Offered with Tools, Original Manual, and a Trove of Historical Documents Dating to 1962

In October 1933, the Bentley nameplate was relaunched under Rolls-Royce ownership with the debut of the 3 1/2 Litre, aptly touted as the “silent sports car.” A winning combination of modern engineering and ever-evolving and improving technical specifications, the 4 1/4 Litre model appeared in 1936, chasing the elusive 100 mph mark. With the addition of overdrive gear ratios on the later 4 1/4 series, 100 mph performance was achieved, which includes the special example offered here, conceived for high-speed, transcontinental touring.

This 4 1/4 Litre Bentley, constructed on the advanced MR Series chassis, was bodied by Park Ward Ltd. for display on their stand at the Earls Court Motor Show in 1938. Intended as a showcase for their technical talents and modern designs, it featured a sliding Webasto roof panel, frameless side windows, and rear wheel spats. Designed strictly as a two-place automobile and offering very little trunk space, the open area behind the seats was specified for luggage. This configuration, coupled with the power-activated rear window privacy shade, prompted the motoring press to dub Park Ward Ltd.’s Art Deco-inspired creation the “Honeymoon Express” – and the car has carried this moniker ever since.

$550,000–$650,000 Without Reserve Chassis No. B30MR Engine No. C8BM Coachwork by Park Ward Ltd.

With an admiration for its design, the chairman of Park Ward Ltd. used chassis B30MR for several months as his personal transport following its exhibition at Earls Court, and by April 1939 it passed to London Rolls-Royce dealer R.A. Robertson, who had the Coupe repainted in camouflage during the war years.

After a succession of UK-based owners, the Honeymoon Express was purchased in 1965 by American serviceman Maurice Richmond while he was stationed in the UK. He entered the car in a Bentley Drivers Club-sponsored event at Goodwood in 1967, where it was reportedly driven by Bentley historian Johnnie Green on demonstration laps of the historic circuit. Later that year, Mr. Richmond imported the Bentley to the US and enjoyed the car at his homes in California over the next 35 years.

Noted Bentley enthusiast Charles Crail, also of California, purchased B30MR from Mr. Richmond in 2002, and sold it to UK- and Belgium-based collector George Rombouts-Howitt. Mr. Rombouts-Howitt commissioned a full mechanical and cosmetic restoration by Wildae Restorations Ltd. in Devon, and Alpine Eagle Ltd. in Oxford, England, to restore the Bentley to its original Earls Court splendor.

Photographs and invoices on file detail the extent of the seven-year effort.

In 2012, chassis B30MR was selected from over 100 applicants to participate in the epic, 870-mile Louis Vuitton Classic Serenissima Run. At the conclusion of the event, the Bentley was awarded the Coachbuilders Golden Age Award. In 2015, the Bentley was acquired by noted collector of significant classic and sports cars, Robert Mirvis, and was reimported to the US. Mr. Mirvis proudly displayed B30MR at Pebble Beach in 2015, where it earned a class award, and the following March, the Bentley Coupe received First in Class honors at Amelia Island.

Later in 2016, it joined a significant Midwest collection of Art Deco-inspired prewar Classics before it was acquired by Mr. Cole in 2022, fulfilling a decades-long wish to own the Honeymoon Express.

Documented in numerous volumes on the marque, B30MR is well known to Bentley collectors and historians for its modern design, unusual configuration, and sheer beauty. Accompanying the car are a tool roll, original owner’s manual, and hundreds of fascinating documents, receipts, letters, and photographs.

According to its Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, this XK140 was assembled in May 1955, and originally finished in black over a gray interior with red piping. It was sold new via Max Hoffman in New York and dispatched to Hornburg Jaguar in Los Angeles. The car then passed through three generations of a single California family over 58 years.

In 2006, the original owner’s grandson commissioned a restoration, and the Roadster has covered only limited mileage since. Under current ownership since 2016, it has been carefully maintained and astutely upgraded with a five-speed manual gearbox and Wilwood front disc brakes – improvements that aid its usability on tours and rallies. Now presented in British Racing Green over beige leather, it displays chrome wire wheels and a well-kept interior.

1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ ‘Coda Tronca’ SELECTIONS FROM THE ROBERT COLE COLLECTION

Highlights Among the Most Desirable and Collectible Postwar Alfa Romeos Late-Production “Coda Tronca”; One of Approximately 40 Examples Built Delivered New to Lugano, Switzerland, in Rare Metallic Grey Livery Restored by Renowned Zagato Specialist Carrozzeria Galbiati of Milan Long-Term Ownership by Distinguished Alfa Romeo Collectors Retains Correct Tipo 00120 Engine; Eligible for Premier Tours and Rallies

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Zagato owes its existence to an inspired accident. In 1956, after a damaged Sprint Veloce was entrusted to Elio Zagato for repairs, the Milanese coachbuilder replaced the original steel Bertone body with a more aerodynamic design rendered in lightweight aluminum. The transformed Giulietta proved dramatically quicker than the standard car, prompting Alfa Romeo to commission Zagato to build a limited series of factory-sanctioned competition models. The resulting Sprint Zagato, or SZ, would become one of the most successful and charismatic smalldisplacement GT cars of its era.

Toward the end of production, Zagato introduced the ultimate evolution of the model. Drawing upon aerodynamic research, the revised “Coda Tronca” adopted a distinctive Kamm tail and subtly revised nose profile, reducing drag and improving highspeed stability on fast circuits such as Monza and Le Mans. With about 40 examples in the series, these late-production cars represent the ultimate expression of the Giulietta racing program and form the direct link between the SZ and its celebrated successor, the Giulia TZ. Today, the Coda Tronca is widely regarded as one of the most desirable and collectible postwar Alfa Romeos.

Built upon the short-wheelbase Giulietta Spider chassis, the SZ combined Alfa Romeo’s competition-specification tipo 00120 twin-cam engine with a close-ratio five-speed gearbox, finned aluminum drum brakes, and exquisite coachwork hand-formed by Zagato. Plexiglas windows, minimal trim, and a purposeful cockpit reflected the coachbuilder’s relentless pursuit of weight reduction. Introduced late in 1960, the SZ quickly established itself as the benchmark of the 1.3-liter GT class, compiling an extraordinary record of victories in endurance contests, circuit races, and hill climbs throughout Europe.

According to Alfa Romeo factory records, chassis AR10126.00188 was completed on February 10, 1962, finished in Metallic Grey and delivered new through the official distributor in Lugano, Switzerland, to its first owner, Rafael Lochen Izaguirre. Although its earliest history is only partially documented, the Alfa has spent the past five decades in the care of knowledgeable enthusiasts and respected Alfa Romeo collectors.

By the early 1970s, the Coda Tronca had entered the care of Henri Jacques Eugène Vuarraz of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, who operated an Alfa Romeo garage and assembled an impressive collection of Zagato-bodied Alfa Romeos,

including an SVZ, another SZ, and a TZ. During his ownership, Mr. Vuarraz sympathetically restored the car, refinishing it in red, while choosing to enjoy it primarily on the road rather than in competition, even taking extended touring holidays with his young family. After several decades in his collection, he sold the Coda Tronca, together with other Zagato-bodied cars, to an Italian dealer.

Before leaving Italy, the SZ benefited from a sympathetic restoration by the respected Carrozzeria Galbiati of Milan, whose craftsmen included former Zagato personnel uniquely familiar with the construction of these lightweight aluminum-bodied automobiles. The work included refinishing the car in its present silver over black color scheme. By 2004, the Coda Tronca had joined the collection of noted Dutch Alfa Romeo enthusiast Fred van Lingen, who entered the car in several historic events before it was exported to the US in 2008.

Over the past two decades, chassis 00188 has remained in the hands of respected American collectors, first Manny del Arroz, then Tom Stegman, before joining the distinguished collection of Robert Cole. Admired for its exceptional balance, elegant design, and engaging performance, the SZ has been described by Mr. Cole as “great fun to drive and quicker than you might think,” praising its wonderfully precise five-speed gearbox as being “like drawing a knife through warm butter.”

Today, this beautifully presented Coda Tronca retains its correct tipo 00120 engine and benefits from decades of knowledgeable stewardship. One of approximately 40 examples built, it represents the ultimate evolution of the Giulietta and remains among the most rewarding postwar Alfa Romeos to own and drive. Eligible for the world’s foremost touring events, concours, and historic competitions, this Coda Tronca offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of Zagato’s most enduring creations.

1935 Bentley 3 1/2 Litre Drophead Coupe SELECTIONS FROM THE ROBERT COLE COLLECTION

Highlights Originally Built for Legendary Racer and Influential Bentley Client André Embiricos One of Just Two Bentleys Ever Bodied by French Coachbuilder Antem Fitted from the Factory with High-Compression Cylinder Head Recipient of Extensive $500,000 Restoration

by Vantage Motorworks to Show Standards, Completed by Potts Restoration and Ricardo Sanchez Among the Most Overtly Sporting and Exciting of All Derby Bentleys

The first Bentley model produced after RollsRoyce’s acquisition of the company, the 3 1/2 Litre was the first of the “Derby Bentleys” built at Rolls-Royce’s Derby factory. These machines were refined and elegant, earning them the famous “silent sports car” moniker that would become synonymous with the marque.

$500,000–$600,000 Without Reserve Chassis No. B5EJ Engine No. F4BZ Coachwork by Antem

This outstanding and historic example, chassis B5EJ, was bodied by renowned coachbuilder Antem of Paris. It is one of just two Bentleys ever bodied by the company, and the only 3 1/2 Litre for which they built a body. Chassis B5EJ features the characteristically French styling of the period, which was even more elegant and rakish than contemporary English designs. The windscreen was extremely low, hinged at the top to permit ventilation, and able to be folded completely flat from the base.

Mr. Embiricos took delivery of the Bentley in Paris, where it remained until he sold it back to Bentley Motors, who found it a new home in the UK. Chassis B5EJ remained there with a handful of long-term owners before settling with famed racing driver Eddie Hall. Beginning in the early 1920s and spanning nearly three decades, Hall had a successful competition career, driving Bentleys and supercharged MGs at Silverstone and the Ards circuit in Northern Ireland. Hall has been immortalized for his heroic drive at Le Mans in 1950, where he drove a specially prepared 4 1/4 Litre Bentley Corniche TT Coupe for the entire 24-hour race on his own – never offering the wheel to his co-driver Tom Clarke and, amazingly, finishing 8th Overall. He remains the only driver in the history of the famed race to drive the entirety of the relentless event.

This 3 1/2 Litre was originally ordered by legendary Bentley client and Greek shipping magnate André Embiricos, now famous for his streamlined, custom-bodied 4 1/2 Litre Bentley, which ran at Brooklands and competed at Le Mans from 1949–1951, finishing 6th Overall at the 1949 event.

According to a copy of its original Bentley build sheet on file, B5EJ was ordered with a highcompression cylinder head and metric instruments.

In 1978, Hall, then 80 years old, raced this Antembodied Bentley Drophead Coupe at Ards – not only in the rain, but also with the top down. B5EJ was repainted dark blue before being sold in the mid-1980s to Dick Ahrens, an enthusiastic Oakland-based RROC member who kept the car until at least 2004. In 2008, it was purchased by Virginia enthusiast Mark Smith and largely stored until the disbursement of his estate in 2023. The

Bentley was then acquired by Bob Cole, who had missed two previous opportunities to purchase this rare and beautiful example.

Mr. Cole felt he owed this thorough renewal to this particular Bentley, having admired it from afar for so many years.

Immediately following his acquisition, Mr. Cole sent B5EJ to the marque experts at Vantage Motorworks for an extensive evaluation and restoration to its former splendor. The body’s underlying wood was inspected and replaced as necessary, the driveline and mechanicals were serviced or rebuilt, and the cosmetics were finished to show standards throughout, including finishing work by Potts Restoration and Ricardo Sanchez. In total, approximately $500,000 was lavished on the restoration of this rare and sporting Bentley.

The car is accompanied by an owner’s handbook, along with volumes of historical documentation and correspondence. Having been owned by three of the most notable names in the Bentley world and fitted with one-off French coachwork, B5EJ is at once a beautiful work of automotive art and a potent tourer equipped with Bentley’s sophisticated mechanicals. This fantastic motorcar would make a lasting impression on the show field or on myriad vintage driving events for which it is eligible.

Among the most striking products of the Giulietta line, the Sprint Speciale paired Bertone’s curvaceous coachwork, influenced by Touring’s Disco Volante, with Veloce mechanical specification of a high-compression 1.3-liter twin-cam four with performance camshafts and twin Weber carburetors. Just 1,366 examples were built.

This Giulietta Sprint Speciale was completed in October 1961, and ordered by an Englishman who had admired the model while on holiday in Italy.

Then living in Malaysia, he took delivery there and kept the car for seven years before returning to the UK in 1968. He used the car sparingly until his passing in 1971, after which his widow stored it until

2010, when it underwent a restoration. A later owner imported the car to the US in 2012, finishing the work with long-distance touring in mind.

The restoration included a bare-metal repaint in the original color, an engine rebuild by RM Restorations of Chiswick, UK, and a new interior by Auto Weave, employing the correct seat fabric and headliner.

The car also received work on the brakes, gearbox, and suspension, with high-performance components from Alfa West. An enduring icon of mid-century Italian design, this delightful Giulietta is offered with a tool roll, and jack and is certain to delight its next owner.

Introduced in 1951, the Ferrari 212 represented the ultimate development of the marque’s first production model, the Tipo 166. Building upon the success of the 166 and 195, the 212 featured a larger 2.6-liter version of Gioacchino Colombo’s brilliant V-12 engine, delivering increased performance while retaining the refinement that established Ferrari as Italy’s premier builder of sporting automobiles. Offered in both road-going Inter and competition-oriented Export variants, the versatile 212 chassis provided the foundation for some of the most attractive and exclusive coachbuilt Ferraris of the early postwar era.

among the most successful expressions of Ghia’s Ferrari design language. Characterized by a commanding grille, tasteful chrome embellishments, and beautifully balanced proportions, the design reflects the subtle American influences that were increasingly shaping Italian automotive fashion during the early 1950s.

Yet the overall effect remains unmistakably Italian, combining elegance and presence in a manner that underscores the creativity for which Ghia became renowned. As one of only 36 Ferraris bodied by Ghia, 0169 E occupies a particularly desirable place among early coachbuilt Ferraris.

Completed in December 1951, this Ferrari 212 Inter, chassis 0169 E, was dispatched to Carrozzeria Ghia of Turin for coachwork. Among Ferrari’s early coachbuilding partners, Ghia occupies a particularly rarefied position. Between 1950 and 1953, the celebrated carrozzeria produced just 36 bodies for Ferrari, making its output considerably rarer than that of contemporaries such as Pinin Farina, Touring, and Vignale. Focused primarily on refined gran turismo automobiles, Ghia’s Ferrari creations were distinguished by exceptional craftsmanship, luxurious appointments, and sophisticated styling.

Upon completion, the Ferrari was delivered through the Roman agent Ponti e Mambretti to its first owner, Francesco Marsili Feliciangeli. The 212 remained in Italy during its early years, passing through the hands of Silvano Bernabei of Rome, Guido Balestra of Ascoli Piceno, and Benedetto De Martinis, also of Rome. In 1956, the Ferrari attracted the attention of American enthusiast William A. Lester of Del Mar, California, who acquired the car directly through Ferrari.

Upon its arrival in California, he drove the car home from the docks “amid many admiring glances from other motorists.” After covering more than 7,700 km, Lester concluded that the Ferrari was “too valuable a car to drive every day,” ultimately selling it to Donald Levinson of San Mateo.

Levinson retained the Ferrari until 1965, when it passed to noted California enthusiast Robert Gangemi, an owner of several important Ferraris, including a 340 America. In 1970, chassis 0169 E was acquired by Terrill E. Buffum of Palo Alto, who actively enjoyed the Ferrari and entered it in the

During this period, it participated in several editions of the Monterey Historic Automobile Races, including appearances in 1984, 1994, and 1995, before gradually retreating from public view.

As one of the earliest generations of road-going

Ferraris, the 212 occupies a foundational place in the marque’s history, while its handsome and exceptionally rare Ghia coachwork places it among a select group of bespoke Ferrari grand touring cars from this formative era. Equally suited to continued enjoyment on leading tours and rallies or as the basis for a concours-quality restoration, 0169 E represents a singular opportunity to acquire one of the most distinctive and seldom-seen coachbuilt Ferraris of the early 1950s.

1999 Ferrari F355 F1 Spider

Highlights

The Ferrari F355 is the fourth generation of the brand’s famed mid-engine V-8 lineup, produced between 1995 and 1999. Although largely based on the outgoing 348, the F355 utilized technology from the company’s Formula 1 program to improve performance and was the first Ferrari road car to be offered with an F1-style paddle-shift gearbox.

Although displacement was only up 95 cc over the outgoing 348, thanks to a new five-valve cylinder head, the car saw power increase to 375 hp, and the redline rose by 1,000 rpm.

Highlights Delivered New to Famous Bay Tradition Architect Mario Corbett in San Francisco One of 76 Left-Hand-Drive DB2 Drophead Coupes Extensively Refurbished by Automotive Restorations in Original Colors Matching-Numbers Engine with Performance Enhanced by Three-Liter Engine Block Accompanied by Copy of Aston Martin Build Sheet

1954 Aston Martin DB2 Drophead Coupe Introduced in 1950, the DB2 Drophead Coupe – with its fashionable all aluminum body, highly tuned twin-cam straight six, and peerless reputation among sports car enthusiasts – was one of the most exclusive sports cars money could buy. All told, 102 examples were built, of which approximately 76 were specified in left-hand drive for export markets.

Few of these cars were sold to America, and even fewer looked as handsome as this example, which was delivered new in San Francisco with the same color scheme it presents today: Orient Blue with a red leather interior. As a US-market car, it was built in left-hand drive and, though originally ordered in April 1953, it did not leave the factory for a further eight months.

The car’s original owner was Mario Corbett, the famed “Bay Tradition” architect who, during this period, designed a number of his most charismatic residences. Among them were The Round House at Wolfback Ridge in Sausalito, the Spaulding Residence in Pacific Palisades, and 601 Ortega Street in San Francisco – a home distinctive for having no square or rectangular rooms.

Delivered to Mr. Corbett at his Montgomery Street address in San Francisco on February 8, 1954, this

DB2 Drophead Coupe was acquired by a client whose profession reflected the very qualities for which Aston Martin is renowned: elegant design, purposeful engineering, and exceptional craftsmanship. Unfortunately, factory records do not record how long Corbett retained the car or identify its subsequent owners. However, by the late 1990s, the car surfaced at Symbolic Motors and then joined a private New England collection, where it remained for the next 15 years. In 2012, Symbolic reacquired the Drophead Coupe from that collection.

The current owner, a passionate collector and Anglophile, sought out the DB2 for its rarity and its appeal as an all-weather postwar touring car.

He acquired the Aston Martin in 2012, and had it restored over the next few years, initially at Sublime Restorations of New Hampshire, and later at Automotive Restorations Inc. of Stratford, Connecticut. The work culminated in an extensive cosmetic refurbishment, returning the car to its original blue exterior with a red interior.

Alongside this cosmetic work, a larger-capacity three-liter engine block was sourced from Vetus Engineering Ltd. in the UK to enhance performance, along with a new crankshaft, rods, pistons, and

cylinder head from British suppliers. The engine was rebuilt around these components by Charles Sim of Cycles Immortal in Maine, who also rebuilt the transmission and rear axle. The original matchingnumbers engine block, rods, pistons, and related components were retained.

Since restoration was completed in 2020, the car has been rewarded with regular use and benefited from fastidious care within the owner’s personal collection.

An exceptional example of the model, with an intriguing provenance, this DB2 Drophead Coupe is ideally suited for touring or concours display.

1937 Bugatti Type 57C Ventoux

Highlights

Introduced in 1934, the Bugatti Type 57 represented the fullest expression of Jean Bugatti’s creative and engineering vision. Powered by a jewel-like 3.3-liter, twin-cam straight-eight engine and constructed with the marque’s customary delicacy, the Type 57 embodied all that defined Molsheim’s artistry: exceptional mechanical refinement, extraordinary aesthetics, and an unmistakable sense of exclusivity.

Originally an Unblown Example, Upgraded to 57C Specification with Roots-Type Supercharger Previously Owned by Respected Collectors Bruce Meyer and Judge Joseph Cassini Documented Restoration Performed by Marque Specialist Ivan Dutton Ltd. Elegance in Motion Award Recipient at the 1998 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance® One of just 710 Type 57s Built, and Features Supercharged Performance and Drivability

As production evolved, Bugatti continually refined the Type 57 chassis, incorporating strengthened rear-axle components, a cross-braced frame, rubber engine mounts, and upgraded braking systems.

Bugatti offered an array of bodies designed and built in-house at Molsheim, including the closed two-seat Atalante, open four-seat Stelvio, and closed four-seat Ventoux.

According to a copy of the American Bugatti Register and Data Book entry and notes on file, this Bugatti was originally constructed with chassis 57584 and engine 421 in September 1937. A desirable series III chassis, the car was clothed in Ventoux four-seat coupe coachwork and finished in metallic blue with a pigskin leather interior. The Ventoux was used as a factory demonstrator before being sold to M. Bierlein of Switzerland in the summer of 1938.

$400,000–$500,000 Without Reserve Chassis No. 57664 (See Text) Engine No. 507 (See Text)

The Ventoux was retained by M. Bierlien through WWII and stored in France until it was acquired by a local garage owner in 1950, who then sold it a year later to Ken Hassrick, a student from New Jersey living in France. By 1958, the Ventoux was sold to another American, W. Hudson Mills. Mr. Mills, who owned two Type 57s, exported the car to the US and, for unknown reasons, swapped the engines and chassis plates between his two cars. This car received the chassis plate numbered 57664 and engine 507. It was likely during Mr. Mills’ ownership that a Roots-type supercharger was fitted.

Following a succession of American owners, the Type 57C was acquired by Peter Bruppacher of Switzerland in the early 1990s. Mr. Bruppacher entrusted respected UK marque specialist Ivan Dutton Ltd. to restore the car to concours standards. This included refinishing the Ventoux’s coachwork in its current deep blue and burgundy two-tone color scheme, retrimming the interior, and renewing other finishes across the car as needed. The cost of this work reportedly totaled approximately £450,000.

Following the restoration, the Bugatti was sold to the noted Southern California-based collector, Bruce Meyer. Mr. Meyer exhibited the Bugatti at

1961 Porsche 356 B Super 90 GT

Highlights

Developed as a lower-cost alternative to the four-cam Carrera GS/GT, the 356 B Super 90 GT incorporated many of the same weight-saving measures and chassis modifications while utilizing Porsche’s proven 1600 pushrod engine. Aluminum body panels, Plexiglas side and rear windows, lightweight alloy wheels, and Speedster seats reduced weight by approximately 200 lbs. compared to a standard coupe. Further savings came through the removal of insulation and select trim, while competition-oriented suspension, braking, and fuel-system upgrades enhanced performance and durability.

Developed for privateer entrants, the 356 B GT established a formidable reputation in circuit racing, endurance events, and rallies. Lightweight and durable, these special 356s achieved success at demanding events where Porsche’s emphasis on reliability and handling often allowed them to outperform larger, more powerful rivals.

Road testing a new Super 90 GT in 1961, Road & Track described the model as “a Super 90 made extra super for competition purposes,” noting that its substantial weight reduction and specialized gearing demonstrated “the type of performance needed to be competitive in the C-production class.”

$350,000–$450,000 Chassis No. 115761 Coachwork by Reutter

Never an official factory designation, some Super 90 GTs were produced on Carrera GS/GT body shells – complete with fittings for the complex four-cam engine – while others were produced from production Super 90s, specially prepared with factory GT features, as is the case with the car presented here.

Chassis 115761 was delivered via Rittersbacher of Kaiserslautern to Belgian privateer driver Jacques Jamotte on April 19, 1961. Its Porsche Kardex records delivery in Schiefergrau (Slate Grey) over black vinyl upholstery with corduroy inserts, together with an extensive factory options that included aluminum doors and engine lid, Plexiglas side windows, an 80-liter fuel tank, 741/4 transaxle, 60 mm GT brakes, lightweight alloy wheels fitted with Dunlop tires, and seats prepared for headrests.

The car was campaigned extensively by Jamotte in international rally competition, recording a class podium in the 1961 International Tulip Rally and achieving its greatest success with a 4th Overall and 1st in Class finish in the 1962 Rallye de las Dos Cataluñas. Period Kardex entries indicate the original engine was replaced with a factory KD replacement unit in July 1962, likely following its retirement from the Coupe des Alpes.

Today, the Porsche presents to a high standard in its original color scheme, including lightweight Speedster-style seats trimmed in the correct vinyl and corduroy materials. Consistent with its period competition character, the car is currently equipped with a Spyder mirror, Cibie Oscar driving lamps, and reproduction all-alloy GT-style wheels.

Launched at Geneva in 1963, the Mercedes-Benz 230 SL (W113) replaced both the 300 SL and 190 SL in one stroke and ushered in a new single platform sports car policy for its maker. The crisp body lines penned by Paul Bracq coupled with the iconic “Pagoda” hardtop made the SL an instant classic that has only gained popularity in the decades since its debut. Development culminated with the 2.8-liter 280 SL, which was built from December 1967 to February 1971; its refinements and enhanced torque captivated road testers and eager customers. There were 23,885 examples of the 280 SL built, with over half of that number exported to the US.

By Far the Most Elusive and Desirable Variant of the Celebrated W113 Pagoda Series

In May 1966, a five-speed manual gearbox, built by Zahnradfabrik Friedrichshafen (ZF) was first introduced as an option for the 250 SL. This gearbox significantly improved highway drivability, serving as an overdrive. The 5th gear dropped engine cruising speeds, which reduced cabin noise, lowered engine stress, and improved overall fuel economy compared to the standard four-speed.

Only 882 280 SLs were equipped with the ZF five-speed gearbox, and cars so equipped from new – denoted by code 230 on their factory build card – have become highly prized by enthusiasts, both for their rarity, and for the way they transform the

driving dynamics of the 280 SL. This gearbox, priced at approximately $500, was not offered to US buyers, and the few that reside on these shores were individually imported from foreign markets, further increasing their rarity among stateside collectors.

According to notes on file, the 280 SL offered here, chassis 003272, was sold new in Paris and attractively finished in the seldom-seen shade of Papyrus White (DB 717) with a dark red MB-Tex interior. The car was imported to the US in 1983 by its third owner, Jeffrey Fellman. Upon his purchase, Mr. Fellman was told that the car’s first two owners, who were neighbors, never allowed the car to sit out overnight.

In late 1989, the rare 280 SL was acquired by George Klemp of Westport, Connecticut via the noted Mercedes-Benz specialist Alex Dearborn.

Mr. Klemp would go on to enjoy and preserve the car for the next 36 years. Extensive records on file document the major services that were performed on the 280 SL over the years, including a rebuild of the ZF gearbox, which, in addition to the engine, matches the serial number recorded on the build record.

Further invoices on file track the tuning and maintenance of the 280 SL through 2020.

The consignor acquired the Pagoda from Mr. Klemp in 2025, and it continues to present well throughout, including its bright white paint finish as well as its tidy interior and engine bay – a testament to the care it received from its long-term owners.

Over the past few decades, the W113-Series cars have become increasingly collectible. Prized for their innovative yet timeless design and their usability in modern traffic, W113s are the very definition of a modern classic. The final version, the 280 SL, is the most coveted of the group due to its responsive 180 hp fuel-injected straight six.

European models, such as this example, were built with 195 hp output, and coupled with its rare and performance-expanding five-speed gearbox, this 280 SL may be counted among the most appealing, desirable, and collectible of them all.

By the mid-1950s, Enzo Ferrari needed a reliable source of income to support his racing, and a production series of elegant grand touring cars offered exactly that. Ferrari entrusted Pinin Farina to design and build its coachwork and the result was the 250 GT Coupe. It was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 1958 and produced at the carrozzeria’s expanded Grugliasco plant. Restrained where many Ferraris were more flamboyant, the Pinin Farina Coupe paired clean, refined lines with the celebrated three-liter Colombo V-12. The suspension was improved with telescopic shock absorbers, and by 1960 the model gained four-wheel disc brakes. With generous room for two and their luggage, it proved an accomplished long-distance grand tourer and remains one of the most significant models to Ferrari’s early commercial success.

This example, chassis 1671 GT, was delivered new in Europe, finished in gray over a black interior, and specified at the factory with a hood scoop, a feature usually reserved for the Cabriolet. As a later 1960 model, 1671 GT is equipped with disc brakes and overdrive, improving the car’s driveability over earlier examples. The 250 GT remained in Europe before heading to California in 1973.

1671 GT’s American ownership is believed to begin

with Roger L. Ahlgren, an electronics engineer residing in Tahoe City, California. Mr. Ahlgren kept the car until the late 1970s, when it was sold to Richard Conroy, a golf professional in Carnelian Bay, California. After only a few years of enjoyment, it is believed Mr. Conroy passed the Coupe on to Joel Mogul, who retained it for over 20 years. It was under Mr. Mogul’s lengthy and enthusiastic custodianship that the 250 was restored. This work included an engine and gearbox rebuild, installation of a new flywheel, and restoration of the suspension and braking systems. The majority of the mechanical work was carried out by Bruno Borri, a former Ferrari race team mechanic who ran the Los Angeles-based shop Modena Motors. Detail work included chrome

by Christensen Plating, a reupholstering of the interior in tan leather, and, as a final flourish, a repaint to the car’s exciting shade of deep red.

In 2008, the restored Ferrari passed to Cogan Imports of Louisville, Kentucky, which retained it for several years before the current owner, a passionate and knowledgeable Southern California collector, acquired it via Fantasy Junction in 2010.

Under the consignor’s stewardship, 1671 GT received further professional care, as it was prepared to concours standards. This work was

More recently, the Pinin Farina Coupe was showcased at the Carmel-by-theSea Concours on the Avenue in August 2019.

1911 Pope-Hartford Model W 50 HP Seven-Passenger Touring

Highlights

This Model W 50 HP Seven-Passenger Touring was sold new to Philo S. Grant of St. Helena, California.

Mr. Grant was the owner of Grant’s Auto Stage Line, a chauffeur business that provided regularly scheduled service to the main rail line connecting the Napa Valley to San Francisco. Mr. Grant purchased two seven-passenger Pope-Hartfords new for his business in 1911 and kept this car until 1945, when he sold it to Joe Sala of Oakland, California. Mr. Sala retained the Pope-Hartford for four years, during which time he participated in multiple early HCCA tours. In 1949, Bud Catlett acquired the Pope and later that year sold it to famed casino magnate and pioneering automobile collector William “Bill” Harrah of Reno, Nevada.

chosen by Henry Austin Clark as the car he would borrow from the Harrah collection and use on the 1962 Reno Tour. He chronicled this event for an article in volume 1, issue 3 of Automobile Quarterly.

After Harrah’s death in 1978, the Pope was acquired at auction by Newt Withers in 1985 and subsequently

by Doug Magee of Middlefield, Connecticut, in 1997.

During Magee’s ownership, the car suffered some damage to the radiator and front fenders while being transported in a single-car trailer. Magee entrusted respected Enfield Auto Restorations with returning the Pope to a highly presentable tour car, including replacing the radiator and repairing the fenders, while disturbing as little as possible of the preserved nitrocellulose lacquer paint applied in 1962.

During Mr. Harrah’s ownership, the 50 HP was a favorite among his vast collection and was used on HCCA tours across the western US from 1950 through 1958. The car was restored twice by Harrah’s in-house restoration department: first in white in 1950, and then in the correct PopeHartford factory shade of “Purple Lake” with black fenders and running gear from 1961 to 1962.

John Konwiser of Scottsdale, Arizona, an avid collector and founder of the Pure Pope Tours, purchased the 50 HP in 2000 and participated successfully in multiple tours across the US for the next two decades. Under current ownership, this 50 HP has continued to see use on multiple Pure Pope Tours.

Highlights Desirable Steel-Bodied, Weber-Carbureted Ferrari 308 GTB Final Model Year of Carbureted Production for the US Market Striking Giallo Fly (Fly Yellow) over Black Color Scheme Highly Original and Showing Just over 10,000 Miles when Catalogued Accompanied by Books, Leather Folio, Tool Roll, Jack, and Recent Service Records

Introduced at the Paris and London Motor Shows in 1975, the Pininfarina-designed 308 GTB established a design language that would influence Ferrari’s mid-engine road cars for decades. Early production comprised just 712 lightweight fiberglass-bodied “Vetroresina” examples before Ferrari adopted steel coachwork for the remainder of production.

Power came from a transverse-mounted, all-alloy, four-cam V-8 breathing through four Weber carburetors, producing 240 hp in US specification and delivering the crisp throttle response that has made carbureted 308s especially coveted today.

Completed in October 1979, this US-market 308 GTB hails from the final model year to feature Weber carburetors and is one of fewer than 3,000

carbureted GTBs built, according to marque authorities. Finished in striking Giallo Fly (Fly Yellow) over black leather, it is further equipped with a period-correct Concord HPL-115 radio, believed to have been dealer installed when new.

Described by the consignor as a “time capsule” example and displaying just 10,110 miles at the time of cataloguing, this exceptionally well-preserved 308 GTB is offered from a significant private collection. Accompanied by its books, leather folio, tool roll, jack, and recent service records, it represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a highly original carbureted 308 GTB in one of Ferrari’s most iconic color combinations.

1958 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster

Highlights

In the 1950s, Mercedes-Benz sought to refine its immortal 300 SL Coupe with a worthy successor, and the result was the 300 SL Roadster, which made its debut in mid-1957. Built over seven model years, a scant 1,858 examples were made, the last completed in 1963. These cars have always been prized by enthusiasts, and now – nearly 70 years hence – a rare few still exude their original essence.

A Highly Original Example Presented in Its Original Colors Retains Matching-Numbers Engine and Gearbox per Factory Build Record Equipped with Hardtop and Extremely Rare Factory Leather Tonneau Cover Recent Thorough Mechanical Rebuild and Service by the Renowned Paul Russell and Company A Roadster of Great Integrity Retaining Its Original Essence

According to documents preserved in its impressive history file, this 300 SL Roadster’s first owner was Charles Kraus of Hinsdale, Illinois. Taking delivery at the Daimler-Benz factory, stubs in the original service book indicate that Mr. Kraus returned there for initial service appointments to make adjustments before shipping his car home. In addition to a copy of its original build record, several rarely seen order memos detail Mr. Kraus’ wishes for his new Mercedes-Benz. Chief among these specifications were a soft top in red canvas and a thick, fitted leather tonneau. When zipped closed, the tonneau shielded the interior from moisture and sunlight; when opened, it could accommodate either the driver alone or both occupants. Among the rarest of all 300 SL optional equipment, the tonneau, made and fitted by Mercedes-Benz, remains with the car and has been the subject of lively conversation wherever the car has appeared publicly.

Mr. Kraus retained his bespoke 300 SL for a notable 41 years, until it was purchased by the respected California-based collector Don Sears in 1999.

Mr. Sears dutifully maintained the Roadster before passing it to his friend, the noted collector Ken McBride of Kirkland, Washington, in 2003. In a recent conversation, Mr. Sears confessed that he still regrets selling this exceptionally original 300 SL. In 2005, the Roadster was acquired by its current caretaker.

Never comprehensively restored, this 300 SL enjoys the solidity of its factory assembly, which is most often lost during body-off restorations.

Likewise, it proudly displays an original Roser leather interior. During the more than 20 years with its current family, this 300 SL has been enjoyed on numerous organized trips, rallies, and weekend drives around Southern California, as well as on a recent Colorado Grand. Throughout that time, it has been maintained by a private, factorytrained Mercedes-Benz technician. In 2017, the Southern California-based owner sourced a factory hardtop for the Roadster and finished it in a red hue to complement the car’s White (DB 50) paint and red interior, while echoing the color of its rarely seen red soft top.

In 2023, the Roadster was tendered to the respected workshops of Paul Russell and Company in Essex, Massachusetts, for a thorough inspection and service, including an extensive rebuild of its original engine – the first effort of such scale in its history. Concurrent with the engine rebuild, the Roadster benefited from a major mechanical recommissioning. The radiator was re-cored, the tie-rod ends and center drag link were renewed, and the hydraulic braking system was thoroughly serviced, with new brake shoes expertly ground and fitted to freshly turned drums. Attention was also paid to the ignition and charging systems, with the distributor serviced, new coils installed, and the generator wiring harness replaced. The clutch was replaced and the fuel-injection system also received a major service. In all, well over $250,000 was spent, with special attention paid to preserving

the Roadster’s unrestored character. Showing just 77,675 miles when catalogued, it is easy to see that this 300 SL has been a prized possession since it first left the factory.

Each year, perhaps a dozen or more original 300 SLs are thoroughly restored, forever obliterating the unrepeatable essence and finishes of a factoryassembled car. The textures, sounds, scents, and driving dynamics of an undisturbed 300 SL dazzle the senses, fully revealing the engineering genius and craftsmanship that placed these cars so far ahead of their time. Those aware of the value of stewardship and restraint will recognize and appreciate this beautifully preserved and maintained Mercedes-Benz for the modern-day rarity that it is.

130 Highlights A Historically Important, Even-Serial-Number Competition Ferrari One of Six 225 S Vignale Spiders Built on the Advanced “Tuboscocca” Chassis Scuderia Ferrari Entrant in the 1952 1000 Miglia with Piero Scotti and Giulio Cantini Raced by Gentleman Driver Tom Cole at the Targa Florio and Goodwood Nine Hours Driven in the 1953 1000 Miglia by Jacques Swaters and Charles de Tornaco Formerly Owned by Noted Collectors David Shute and Peter Sachs Retains Matching-Numbers Engine; Documented by Ferrari Historian Marcel Massini

1952 Ferrari 225 Sport ‘Tuboscocca’ Spider In 1952, Ferrari introduced one of its defining early competition models: the 225 Sport. Representing the final and most highly developed evolution of Gioachino Colombo’s original V-12 before the arrival of the legendary 250 series, the 225 S occupies a pivotal place in Ferrari history. Developed under the direction of Aurelio Lampredi, it paired an enlarged 2.7-liter version of Colombo’s V-12 producing 210 hp with numerous mechanical refinements.

The result was one of the fastest and most accomplished sports-racing Ferraris of its era.

Equally important was the variety of chassis and coachwork offered to Ferrari’s favored clients.

While most 225 S models employed the familiar tubular frame, a select few were built on Gilberto Colombo’s innovative “Tuboscocca” chassis.

Developed by Gilco, this advanced semimonocoque tubular structure offered increased rigidity while reducing weight, making the ET-suffix cars among the rarest and most technically sophisticated Ferraris of the early 1950s.

The 225 S was clothed by several of Italy’s leading carrozzerie, most notably Touring and Vignale. At Vignale, designer Giovanni Michelotti created a series of striking spiders and berlinettas whose flowing lines and purposeful proportions helped

$2,000,000–$3,000,000 Chassis No. 0194 ET Engine No. 0194 ET Coachwork by Vignale

define Ferrari’s emerging visual identity. Although fewer than two dozen examples were constructed, the 225 S compiled an extraordinary record during the 1952 season, scoring victories across Europe and famously sweeping the first five places at the Monaco Grand Prix for Sports Cars. Campaigned by many of the era’s leading drivers – including Giovanni Bracco, Vittorio Marzotto, and Eugenio Castellotti – the 225 S also served as the direct precursor to the celebrated 250 MM. Among the most rare and desirable 225 S models are the six Vignale-bodied Tuboscocca Spiders, which brilliantly combine Ferrari’s magnificent triple carbureted V-12, Gilco’s innovative chassis, and Giovanni Michelotti’s elegant coachwork. It is within this exclusive group that chassis 0194 ET resides.

Completed in spring 1952, chassis 0194 ET was originally finished in red with brown corduroy upholstery and distinguished by characteristic Vignale details, including three ovoid portholes in each front fender, small rear-brake cooling scoops, and a dashboard centered around two large Jaeger instruments.

According to the research of marque historian Marcel Massini, 0194 ET was initially retained by

Scuderia Ferrari for the XIX Mille Miglia, held in May 1952. Entrusted to Florentine driver Piero Scotti and co-driver Giulio Cantini, the Ferrari wore No. 610 and showed considerable promise before mechanical trouble brought its race to an early conclusion.

Immediately afterward, the Ferrari passed into the hands of one of the era’s most charismatic gentleman drivers, Tommy Cole. Wealthy, cosmopolitan, and immensely talented behind the wheel, the AngloAmerican driver had established an international reputation through his exploits in Allards and Ferraris, including a podium finish at Le Mans in 1950.

Victories on both sides of the Atlantic marked him

as one of the sport’s brightest young stars.

Under Cole’s ownership, 0194 ET was repainted in striking American racing colors – dark blue with a white bonnet – and campaigned extensively throughout Europe during the second half of 1952.

Its first appearance came at the Targa Florio in June, where Cole drove the Ferrari to 11th Overall and 4th in Class on Sicily’s demanding mountain roads.

Cole’s busy campaign continued at the Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti, where contact with the Ferrari of eventual winner Paolo Marzotto relegated him to 15th Overall and 7th in Class.

He then traveled to England for the Daily Mail

International Trophy at Boreham, placing 5th Overall and 3rd in Class against a field that included Stirling Moss and the latest Jaguar C-Types.

The highlight of the season came at the inaugural Goodwood Nine Hours in August 1952. Sharing 0194 ET with Graham Whitehead, Cole drove superbly to finish 2nd Overall, trailing only the works Aston Martin DB3 of Collins and Griffith. The Ferrari’s success continued the following month at the Gran Premio di Bari, where Cole secured another podium finish, placing 2nd Overall behind Chico Landi in another 225 S. By season’s end, 0194 ET had established itself as a successful international sports racer. Its elegant Vignale coachwork and impressive performances also earned considerable publicity, appearing in the Ferrari Yearbook and on the cover of the September 1952 issue of Motor Sport.

For 1953, Cole acquired a new Ferrari 340 MM, while 0194 ET was entered in the 1000 Miglia by Ecurie Francorchamps proprietor Jacques Swaters and Belgian ace Charles de Tornaco. Wearing race No. 556, the pair unfortunately failed to finish, marking the Ferrari’s final race appearance in period.

Cole’s career continued to flourish with the new 340 MM, highlighted by an outstanding 4th Overall finish in the 1953 1000 Miglia. Tragically, one of motor racing’s brightest rising stars was killed at Le Mans that June at just 32 years of age. Though his career was brief, Tommy Cole left an indelible mark on postwar sports-car racing, and 0194 ET remains one of the most significant surviving cars associated with him. Following his death, the 225 Sport passed to his parents and, in December 1953, to his brother Nigel in England, whose careful stewardship preserved the car throughout the remainder of the decade.

In 1962, chassis 0194 ET entered the ownership of respected British Ferrari dealer Dan Margulies of London, marking the beginning of its welldocumented post-racing life. By 1968, it had passed to Peter Gibson of Hemel Hempstead, under whose ownership the Ferrari benefited from restoration.

In June 1972, the car was sold to John Sturgis before almost immediately passing to noted collector David Shute of Wellington. Still carrying the British registration “RGN 92,” first issued during Nigel Cole’s ownership, 0194 ET remained an active participant in the burgeoning classic car movement. Shute listed the car in the Ferrari Owners’ Club register, campaigned it at Prescott Hillclimb, and saw it featured in The Motor and Stan Grayson’s Ferrari: The Man, The Machines.

In 1977, the Ferrari was acquired by renowned collector Peter Sachs and subsequently exported to the US. Shortly thereafter, it entered the present collection, where it has remained for approximately 45 years.

During its early years with the current owner, 0194 ET made a select number of prestigious public appearances, including the 1988 1000 Miglia Storica, the 1991 Ferrari Club of America National Meet –

where it earned the Forza Ferrari Award – and the 1992 FF40 International Ferrari Concours in Brussels.

Since then, it has remained quietly preserved in a distinguished private collection, virtually unseen in public for more than three decades.

Today, 0194 ET retains its matching-numbers chassis and original engine, both stamped 0194 ET, together with its elegant Vignale Spider coachwork.

Its provenance is exceptionally well documented through copies of factory build sheets, Italian registration documents, period photographs, and the comprehensive research of historian Marcel Massini, author of Ferrari by Vignale.

Representing the ultimate development of the original Colombo V-12 sports racers, chassis 0194 ET embodies every quality sought in an early Ferrari. It is an even-numbered Scuderia Ferrari entrant built on Gilco’s innovative Tuboscocca chassis, one of only six such Vignale-bodied Spiders constructed, and a veteran of many of Europe’s greatest road races and endurance events, including the 1000 Miglia, Targa Florio, Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti, Goodwood Nine Hours, and Gran Premio di Bari, before making a final period appearance in the 1953 1000 Miglia with Jacques Swaters and Charles de Tornaco.

Its superb provenance is equally remarkable, passing from Tommy Cole’s family through a succession of knowledgeable custodians before entering its present long-term ownership nearly half a century ago. Having remained largely absent from public view for more than 30 years, 0194 ET now represents one of the finest early Ferraris to emerge from private hands in recent memory.

With its documented racing history, elegant Michelotti-designed Vignale coachwork, and

extraordinary rarity, 0194 ET is ideally suited to the world’s foremost historic motoring events, from the 1000 Miglia Storica and Goodwood Revival to the finest international concours d’elegance.

Notes Please note that this vehicle is sold on a Bill of Sale.

Ninety-five years ago, Louis Schneider piloted this very car across the finish line at the Brickyard, securing its place in history at America’s definitive race: the Indianapolis 500. Today, thanks to the diligent research of its owners and care in restoration, the 1931 “Bowes Seal Fast Special” survives and in beautifully presented condition, faithfully preserved in the exact guise in which it achieved that legendary victory.

Schneider was Indianapolis born and bred and holds a storied place in history as one of only two locals ever to win the race. For anyone born in that city, winning the 500 must be an inbuilt aspiration, and Schneider’s fascination with speed began early. While serving as a police motorcyclist in the mid-1920s, he spent his spare time building and working on race cars. He made his debut at Indy in 1927, and a year later he made his first run in a car of his own – an older Miller fitted with an engine reduced to comply with the 91 cid formula. Schneider qualified an impressive 7th and finished in 11th place on race day.

Schneider sat out the 1929 race but returned in 1930 with funding from Indianapolis-based Bowes Seal Fast, which was keen to promote its tire-repair products and would become a consistent presence at Indy from 1930s onwards.

For the 1930 race, Schneider turned to none other than Myron Stevens to build his car. Born the same year as Schneider, in 1901, Stevens’ place in the Motorsport Hall of Fame is well earned. From the 1920s through WWII and beyond, he was an underlying force in American racing.

Stevens first learned his trade under Harry Miller and was the head of Miller’s chassis and bodywork department. Possessing an intuitive understanding of shape and form, Stevens built frames for Miller unlike those of most of his contemporaries, each carefully and exceptionally aerodynamically refined. His defining skill in this area is clearly evident in his sculpted, windcheating bodywork.

Stevens eventually left Miller to establish his own shop, having been engaged by Frank Lockhart to help construct the streamlined Stutz Black Hawk Special for a land speed-record assault. Although the project ended tragically with Lockhart’s fatal crash at Daytona Beach in 1928, the project showcased Stevens’ considerable talents, and his shop soon became a favored destination for Indianapolis competitors seeking the finest West Coast engineering expertise.

Stevens’ expertise was particularly sought after as American racing formulas continued to evolve, bringing changes to both engine-displacement limits and chassis configurations. Existing cars were frequently adapted to meet changing regulations, and it was not uncommon for earlier Miller single-seaters to be widened for use in two-man competition. Stevens was often entrusted with such conversions, his growing reputation making him a natural choice for competitors seeking to keep pace with the sport’s shifting requirements.

Schneider’s decision to entrust Stevens with the construction of his Indianapolis mount was quickly vindicated. At the 1930 Indianapolis 500, Schneider qualified 7th and finished 3rd – an impressive result.

In 1931, Schneider returned to the 500 partnered by riding mechanic “Jigger” Johnson. Historians agree that the Bowes Seal Fast Special was new for 1931, fitted with a 151 cid Miller eight, though aesthetically it looked much the same as its

predecessor. In qualifying, Schneider found an extra 1 mph, recording 107 mph – only enough to secure 13th on the grid.

The race, however, would prove an altogether different story. After a two-hour rain delay, the 1930 winner, Billy Arnold – who had led all but two laps the previous year – looked set to repeat his success. Despite qualifying 18th for the 1931 race, Arnold quickly carved his way through the pack, and by lap seven he had taken the lead from Indianapolis native Bill Cummings.

Cummings’ race was an adventure in itself. After his Cooper-Miller failed on lap 70, he took over Deacon Litz’s entry, a Duesenberg owned by Henry Maley, and continued in the contest driving the Duesenberg.

Arnold maintained a commanding lead for the next 155 laps, until the rear axle of his Summers-Miller

For the last 39 laps, the race developed into a battle between the hometown heroes: Schneider, in his Bowes Seal Fast Special, and Cummings, now driving the Duesenberg. Running a tight race through the closing stages, Schneider managed to hold on, never surrendering the lead. When Cummings crashed Maley’s Duesenberg, Schneider brought the Bowes Seal Fast Special home, crossing the finish line 43 seconds ahead of Fred Flame’s Duesenberg, making it a true banner day for both Schneider and Bowes Seal Fast at Indy.

In 1932, Schneider returned to the 500 with Bowes sponsorship but did not enjoy a repeat performance of the previous year’s triumph, as the Special placed

30th in qualifying and 23rd overall. The following year, Schneider raced the Special in a new guise, with the car sporting Edelweiss Beer sponsorship and entered by W.R. Blackburn. However, Schneider suffered the ignominy of stalling on lap one, giving him an official last place.

After a two-year hiatus, the Special was revived and, in 1936, returned to the track as the MidWest Red Lion, owned by the MidWest Racing Team. Now sporting power from a 255 cid Offenhauser four, the Special was driven by Fred Winnai and Ray Yaeger, who qualified 12th and finished a much more respectable 11th. In 1937, Cliff Bergere and Louis Mille garnered an even better result, delivering a 5th place finish for the Special and its entrant, George Lyons. A sixth Indy run followed in

It was not until 1990, when passionate collector David Uihlein purchased the car, that a true restoration began. Uihlein was keen to return the car to its Indy-winning 1931 form. Under his care, the Droeger single-seat body was removed and stored, while an exacting copy of the original two-man body was constructed. With the assistance of ace engineer Chris Leydon, the car’s mechanical aspect was attended to. Uihlein would retain the 1931 Indy winner for the rest of his life.

1915 Stutz ‘Weightman Special’

$900,000–$1,200,000 Chassis No. NA14A

FROM THE PRICE MUSEUM OF SPEED

Highlights A Unique Snapshot of Teen-Era Racing Powered by Rare Delage-Inspired Wisconsin B-16 Four Valves per Cylinder 296 CID Engine Winner of the Benning Track Thanksgiving Day Races in 1916 Formerly Owned by Eddie Hearne, Lindley Bothwell, and William F. Harrah One of the Best-Preserved American Race Cars of This Era Sympathetically Restored and Described as a “Blast” to Drive

Presented here is the unique Stutz “Weightman Special,” a car which owes its very existence to one of America’s more colorful characters of the teen-era, William Walker Weightman III. Greatgrandson and an heir to the Weightman chemical manufacturing fortune, his share of that $30,000,000 estate in 1904 was more than $800,000. Ultimately, it proved to be a poisoned chalice, his lifestyle earning him the nickname “Wild Bill” and landing him in jail for bigamy.

As an inheritor during the incubational period of American automobile racing, it was unsurprising that this errant playboy would be drawn to the world of speed and thrills.

Automobile historians note that Weightman initially approached Stutz to acquire one of their White Squadron cars, but was unsuccessful. Undeterred, they built him his own specifically tailored car, utilizing a short-wheelbase lightweight Stutz HCS frame and using one of the three Wisconsin B-16 engines. Featuring four valves per cylinder and configured as an overhead side-valve with rockers, commissioned by Stutz, these engines were a virtual copy of the Delage Type Y that had powered the winner of the 1914 Indianapolis 500. It produced approximately 100 hp at 3,000 rpm.

The resulting Weightman Special was clothed in an elongated torpedo body and made its competition debut at Sheepshead Bay in 1916. Curiously, Weightman entrusted its racing to D. Brailey Gish, a Haynes-Apperson salesman who must have convinced Wild Bill of his skills behind the wheel.

On most outings, Gish and the Special were outclassed by the Delages, Duesenbergs, and Peugeots, driven by many of the luminaries of the day. However, at the Thanksgiving Day races held at Benning Race Track in 1916, Gish proved his mettle, winning the day in two heats and a 15-mile race. To Weightman, this was a world-class victory.

Weightman’s interest in the Stutz soon began to fade, due in part to Eddie Rickenbacker’s simultaneous campaign in his Duesenberg racer on the West Coast. By 1917, Weightman had grown tired of the car and sold it on.

The Stutz’s life story was largely lost in the mists of time until owner David Cammarano, who acquired the car in 1986, retraced its steps precisely. He discovered that Weightman’s special racer had remained under the radar of historians for decades, despite having resided in two of the more significant American collections of all time.

Cammarano’s research revealed that Weightman sold the Stutz to noted racer Eddie Hearne, who in turn passed it to Lindley Bothwell in the mid-1930s.

Bothwell campaigned the Stutz in a number of early historic races on the West Coast, and nearly 30 years later – by now painted red with a large “3” on its side – it became part of the lineup of cars featured in a

prominent 1963 Sports Illustrated article. Circa 1970, Bothwell sold the car to William F. Harrah, in whose ownership it remained until the dispersal sale of his collection in 1986. At the sale, it was described very basically as a “1915 Stutz Race Car...Model not located…has been modified with streamlined body... engine is a 1914 Delage.”

The car’s next caretakers were David Cammarano and his son, who attended the famed 1986 Harrah auction in Reno in search of a worthy project to restore and vintage race. In the Cammaranos, the Stutz found just the enthusiasm and focus that it needed. Through meticulous research, correspondence with historians including Joseph Freeman, and the discovery of numerous period photographs, the remarkable history of this individual racer became clear.

The Stutz remained largely as originally built 70 years earlier, complete with its Wisconsin B-16 power unit. During restoration, the car only showed evidence of modest “battle scars” and was not known to have suffered a major incident. As a result, its key components and the majority of its bodywork, except for the tail, were retained.

From 1986 to 2000, the Cammaranos actively raced and enjoyed the Stutz before selling it to collector Bill Evans of San Diego, California, from whom the Price Museum of Speed acquired the car in 2007.

Over the past 110 years, from its fascinating creator to its succession of prominent collectors and racers, the Weightman Special has developed a character all its own. Beautifully refinished and displaying the light patina accrued over the past three decades, this lightweight racer – powered by its early overhead four-valve-per-cylinder engine – is described as incredibly fast and enormously rewarding to drive.

Widely regarded as one of the best-preserved American racing cars of its era, this storied Stutz Special is deserving of a future custodian keen to continue its extraordinary legacy.

Notes Please note that this vehicle is titled as 250GT2701.

1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione At the Paris Salon in October 1959, Ferrari unveiled a berlinetta that many enthusiasts regard as the finest dual-purpose sports car the company ever produced. The new 250 GT Berlinetta Passo Corto – better known today as the Short Wheelbase, or SWB – combined the civility expected of a grand touring Ferrari with the performance of a thoroughbred competition machine. Designed by Pinin Farina, constructed by Carrozzeria Scaglietti, and built upon a new 2,400 mm-wheelbase chassis developed by Giotto Bizzarrini, Carlo Chiti, and Mauro Forghieri, it possessed a balance, agility, and mechanical sophistication unmatched by its contemporaries. Equally at home on road or track, the SWB quickly established itself as the benchmark against which every other GT car of its generation would be measured.

From the outset, Ferrari offered the model in distinctly different forms. Road-going Lusso examples featured steel coachwork and luxurious interior appointments, while lightweight alloybodied Competizione models were purpose-built for international GT racing. In 1960, approximately 46 Competition Berlinettas were constructed, earning victories throughout Europe and North America and firmly establishing Ferrari’s supremacy in the FIA’s Grand Touring category.

Anticipating increasingly determined opposition from Aston Martin, Jaguar, and Porsche for the 1961 season, Ferrari undertook a comprehensive development program that transformed the already formidable SWB into its ultimate evolution. The resulting Comp/61 Berlinettas – known today as the celebrated “SEFAC Hot Rods” – were the final and most uncompromising expression of the model before the arrival of the legendary 250 GTO. Although outwardly similar to earlier competition berlinettas, the Comp/61 benefitted from myriad upgrades and refinements. A lighter Tipo 539/61 chassis featured thinner-gauge tubing and revised suspension geometry, while the hand-formed aluminum body was fashioned from even lightergauge alloy and equipped with an external quick-fill fuel cap. Beneath the bonnet lay Ferrari’s latest Tipo 168/61 V-12, distinguished by Testa Rossa-type cylinder heads, enlarged valves, high-lift camshafts, and magnesium castings. Breathing through three Weber 46 DCF carburetors and SNAP exhaust extractors, it produced approximately 280 horsepower in a car weighing little more than 2,000 pounds. The Comp/61 represented the pinnacle of the model’s development and, in both philosophy and specification, laid the mechanical foundation for the legendary 250 GTO that would follow scarcely a year later.

Among these exceptional 250 SWB Berlinettas, chassis 2701 GT occupies a particularly distinguished place. Completed in April 1961, it was one of only two Comp/61s retained by SEFAC Ferrari for factory use rather than immediately delivered to a private customer.

2701 GT made its debut at the official Le Mans Test Weekend, where Ferrari entered the car alongside its latest sports-racing prototypes. Factory drivers Mike Parkes, Fernand Tavano, and Jo Schlesser shared the new Berlinetta, recording the fastest GT time of the meeting – more than 20 seconds quicker than a privately entered Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato – and confirming the remarkable pace of Ferrari’s latest competition machine.

Late in the test, however, the Berlinetta sustained significant accident damage with Schlesser at the wheel. Returned to Maranello, chassis 2701 GT was comprehensively rebuilt by the factory before being released later that summer to its first private owners – brothers Carlo and Massimo Leto di Priolo of Milan. Accomplished sportsmen with interests extending from offshore powerboat racing to motorsport, the brothers were among Italy’s leading privateers of the 1950s and 60s, campaigning a succession of Fiats, Alfas, and Ferraris – including a 14-louvre 250 Tour de France – in major circuit races, hill climbs, and endurance events throughout the country, often under the Scuderia Ambrosiana banner. Registered in Milan as “MI 928367,” chassis 2701 GT remained in their care for several years,

although no record of specific race entries under their ownership has been found.

In 1964, the SWB passed to German enthusiast Hans Günter Perle-Lex before being acquired three years later by Egon Hofer of Salzburg, Austria.

A talented amateur racer, Hofer immediately returned the Comp/61 to active competition, capturing class victories at both the Weerberg and Gaisberg hill climbs before entering the 1967 Targa Florio. Still wearing its original Milan registration, chassis 2701 GT was shared by Hofer and American driver Anatoly Arutunoff in this classic Sicilian road race. Although mechanical trouble curtailed the effort, the appearance added yet another important chapter to the Ferrari’s period competition history.

Following the Targa Florio, the Berlinetta’s original engine was repaired and sold separately to Ferrari enthusiast Tom Meade. The car itself was subsequently acquired by Anatoly Arutunoff and imported to the United States, where it passed

through the hands of several knowledgeable enthusiasts during the 1970s. Like many historic Ferraris, it continued to evolve in the interest of keeping it active and competitive, at one point even receiving an American V-8 engine. Such modifications reflected an era when yesterday’s racing cars were valued primarily for their performance rather than their historical significance.

Its fortunes changed dramatically in 1981 when it was acquired by noted collector Brian Brunkhorst, whose appreciation for Ferrari’s most significant competition models ensured that 2701 GT received the careful restoration its importance deserved.

Brunkhorst commissioned respected marque specialist Wayne Obry to undertake a comprehensive restoration, with the mechanical components expertly rebuilt by Rick Bunkfeldt.

Completed in 1983, the project returned the Berlinetta to correct Comp/61 specification using a period 250 GTE engine, no. 4039, which remains installed today.

Since its restoration was completed in 1983, the Berlinetta has spent more than four decades in the collections of just two prominent Ferrari enthusiasts. Michael Leventhal first owned and campaigned the car for approximately 15 years before it passed to Ned Spieker, under whose ownership it became a familiar sight at many of the world’s premier historic motoring events.

Numerous appearances at the Tour Auto, Goodwood Revival, Le Mans Classic, Ferrari Maserati Historic Challenge, Cavallino Classic, and several editions of the Monterey Historics demonstrated that the Comp/61 remained exactly what Ferrari had intended more than six decades earlier: a fast, reliable, and immensely rewarding dual-purpose competition machine.

Today, chassis 2701 GT represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Ferrari’s ultimate competition berlinettas. As one of just 20 Comp/61 “SEFAC Hot Rod” models, it marks the final and most highly developed evolution of the legendary 250 GT SWB – a car whose uncompromising specification provided the direct mechanical and philosophical bridge to the iconic 250 GTO. Its history is equally compelling. Factory-prepared for the 1961 season, it debuted at the Le Mans Test Weekend in the hands of Mike Parkes, Fernand Tavano, and Jo Schlesser before continuing its competition career in Italy and Austria, including an appearance at the legendary Targa Florio.

The genesis of the 5000 GT can be traced to November 1958, when Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, met with Maserati director Omer Orsi and engineer Giulio Alfieri to outline his vision for a new supercar. The Shah’s proposal was both ambitious and unprecedented: a gran turismo that combined exceptional luxury with the thunderous performance of the 450S sports-racing car.

Maserati accepted the commission and created what would become one of the most extraordinary automobiles in the history of the marque.

cylinder heads gleaming amid a vast network of spark-plug wires and fuel-injection lines.

At its heart, the 5000 GT was powered by a magnificent five-liter V-8 featuring dual overhead camshafts, hemispherical combustion chambers, and twin-spark ignition. While the first two examples utilized lightly detuned 450S engines producing nearly 350 hp, Maserati soon developed a dedicated road-going version of the engine, revising its internal dimensions and replacing the competition-style gear drive with more conventional timing chains. The adoption of Lucas mechanical fuel injection further refined the engine, replacing Weber carburetors and improving drivability and throttle response. In production form, the all-aluminum, quad-cam tipo 103 engine was a triumph of Maserati engineering and a sight to behold, with its distinctive metallic-green

Between 1960 and 1965, Maserati constructed just 34 examples of the 5000 GT, each bodied by a select group of Italian coachbuilders, resulting in a series of highly individualized designs. Priced at approximately $14,000 when new, the model competed directly with Ferrari’s 400 Superamerica and was reserved for an elite clientele that included Gianni Agnelli, Briggs Cunningham, Ferdinando Innocenti, and King Saud of Saudi Arabia.

The chassis was derived from the contemporary six-cylinder 3500 GT, but extensively reinforced to accommodate the V-8’s substantial increase in power and torque. A ZF four-speed manual gearbox and twin-plate clutch transmitted power to the rear wheels, while four-wheel Girling disc brakes provided the requisite stopping power for a 160 mph, custom-bodied luxury GT.

The example offered here, chassis AM103.034, is one of 22 examples bodied as elegant coupes by Carrozzeria Allemano of Torino, a firm associated with Maserati since the A6 line of the mid-1950s.

on several Maserati models of the period, including the 3500 GT Vignale Spider, Sebring, and Indy.

Completed on March 12, 1962, this is one of only two 5000 GT Allemano Coupes originally finished in white over red leather – an elegant color scheme well suited to the car’s understated character.

The Maserati was debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1962 and delivered new to Belgian industrialist and Olympic bobsledder Marcel Leclef, who competed in three Winter Olympics and achieved his best result with a 6th place finish in the two-man event at Oslo in 1952. Leclef reportedly used his 5000 GT extensively throughout Europe, including journeys to Alpine ski resorts and bobsledding venues in Switzerland,

retaining it until the 1970s.

Subsequently exported to the US, it was offered for sale by a dealer in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and acquired by Frank Bowlin of Anchorage, Alaska.

It later passed to marque specialist Jerry Wood of Dallas, Texas, who exhibited the car at Pebble Beach that same year in Class N-2 for Italian Custom Coachwork, 1957–1965. Following an extensive restoration, AM103.034 returned to Pebble Beach in 1999, where it placed Third in Class in a special category honoring the 5000 GT. As noted in Maurice Khawam’s Maserati 5000 GT: A Significant Automobile, Jerry Wood – who owned multiple examples of the model – offered a memorable assessment of their character and

performance: “I have owned three 5000 GTs (AM103.028, AM103.034 and AM103.042) over the years…The cars are masterfully engineered and are a real treat to drive. They all have tall gearing and seemingly endless acceleration in any gear.

First gear is useful for almost all city or neighborhood driving. Fourth gear never seems to run out of acceleration. One hundred and sixty-plus miles an hour is cruising for this monster, and it does it absolutely effortlessly.”

The Allemano Coupe was subsequently acquired by Bay Area Maserati collector Chris Rose, who undertook a mechanical restoration overseen by Rod Drew’s highly regarded Francorchamps of America Inc. of Costa Mesa, California. During Mr. Rose’s ownership, the Maserati was shown at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering in 2006, before being acquired by the current owner.

For nearly two decades, this handsome 5000 GT has resided in a private collection comprising some of the finest European sports and grand touring cars. During the consignor’s ownership, the

Maserati has been exhibited at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance and treated to regular exercise and maintenance capably overseen by his in-house staff.

Today, the Maserati 5000 GT remains widely regarded as the ultimate expression of the marque’s postwar ambitions under the direction of the Orsi family and Giulio Alfieri. A true “car of kings,” it combined exotic engineering, bespoke coachwork, and exclusivity in a manner few automobiles have ever matched.

An outstanding example of this rare and historically important Maserati, chassis AM103.034 possesses a distinguished provenance, long-term enthusiast ownership, selective concours appearances, and the unmistakable presence of one of the most dramatic Italian grand tourers ever built. For collectors drawn to the 5000 GT’s unique intersection of performance, artistry, and mid-century glamour, it represents a singular opportunity.

139 Highlights One of the 50 Original Factory Supercharged “Blower” Bentleys Original Alloy-Paneled Vanden Plas Coachwork with Rare Le Mans-Type Seats Retains Its Original Chassis, Steering Box, Front and Rear Axles, with Original Replacement Blower Engine and Gearbox per Factory Records Known History from New and Documented by Bentley Authority Dr. Clare Hay Concours Restoration by Marque Specialists VBE and McDonald Vintage Restoration Awarded First in Class at the 2022 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance®

1931 Bentley 4 ½ Litre Supercharged ‘Blower’ Sports Tourer After a brutal but heroic 8th Place in the 1928 German Grand Prix, Sir Henry “Tim” Birkin was convinced that the Bentley 4 ½ Litre could be substantially more competitive through supercharging. Alfa Romeo, Bugatti, and MercedesBenz were all contenders in international events with blown powerplants, and supercharging appeared to be the key to their success.

W.O. Bentley, however, was firmly against supercharging his cars. His racing strategy was based on endurance and reliability, with the result that Bentleys often pushed hard at the onset of a race, forcing the supercharged competitors to break; easy victory then ensued.

In order to make his dream of a supercharged Bentley 4½ Litre a reality, Birkin had to find outside help. For the supercharger itself, Birkin turned to Amherst Villiers, made famous by the Vauxhall Villiers Special. Despite W.O.’s opposition to superchargers, Birkin was able to enter an agreement with Villiers and Bentley Motors thanks to the support of Woolf Barnato, who at the time controlled much of Bentley’s activities.

In order to run at Le Mans, Birkin’s supercharged 4½ Litre required use of a standard production

model, which W.O. apprehensively approved. The design of the supercharger was left to Villiers, but the parameters were set: the Blower had to be driven off the crankshaft and, therefore, mounted in front of the engine. Immediate deficiencies were noted, and the subsequent development of the “heavy crank” 4 ½-litre block ensued.

Eventually, the design was completed and tested.

Although Birkin failed to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans with his two intended supercharged cars that year, June 1929 saw the first-ever competitive outing for a “Blower” Bentley, and July marked the supercharged car’s first podium finish.

That same year, two production Blowers appeared on the stand at the Olympia Motor Show. By 1930, production Blowers were being delivered to enthusiastic new customers. In April 1930, The Motor published the first road test of the 4 ½ Litre Supercharged, which opens with praise for Bentley’s latest creation: “The recipe is as follows: - Take a sturdy chassis, install an engine rated at 25 h.p., add a supercharger, fit an open body, wings, and windscreen, and make the complete vehicle have a speed range of from 9 m.p.h. to 103 m.p.h. on top

gear. Do all these things and you will have arrived about half-way towards the achievement which the 4 ½-litre Bentley represents. Only half-way, because you have yet to make your car its equal as regards other important attributes, such as roadholding, gear-changing, steering and braking…”

In the end, a total of 50 production Blowers were built over a two-year period – and with that benchmark, Birkin had met the Automobile Club de l’Ouest requirements to compete at Le Mans.

Chassis MS3927 hails from the second batch of 25 cars built by Birkin, which are identifiable by the ribbed supercharger casings protruding from the front of the car. MS3927 was produced early in this

series, before the cars became more challenging to sell, and while they were still equipped with the true sporting lightweight bodies. Significantly, this example has also retained the original body from new, making it one of only a third of such cars extant. This Blower has remained in the public eye throughout its life, its lineage easily traceable through factory, coachbuilder, and club records, which have all been condensed into a definitive report by marque expert Dr. Clare Hay. This supercharged Bentley was supplied to Vanden Plas on February 11, 1931. The coachbuilder bodied the car with the most up-to-date sports touring bodywork, paneled in aluminum. The Vanden Plas order lists the particularly appealing feature of

Le Mans-type bucket seats, designed to enhance the true “Bentley Boy” driving experience. Body 1723 was originally painted in striking raven black with a rich red leather trim.

The finished automobile was delivered to Bentley Motors Cork Street showrooms and registered for the road with the London plate “GP1993.” Jack Barclay of Berkeley Square secured the sale of the new Blower to O.D. Winterbottom of Newbury, for whom it was an upgrade from the stock 4 ½ Litre in which he had covered 30,000 miles in over the preceding two years, and traded in against the purchase.

Mr. Winterbottom kept MS3927 for seven years before the car passed to its next custodian, F. W. Ball of Chelsea, who also acquired the car from Jack Barclay. The last owner before the war was Captain P.G. Ashton, based on the Isle of Wight, who acquired the Blower in 1939.

Just after the war ended, Michael Crowley-Milling, the longtime owner of a Nuvolari Alfa Romeo 8C 2300, briefly owned the Blower before it passed through a series of owners that included Ben H. Bowring, who was particularly keen on racing the car.

Reflecting the fashion of the day, Mr. Bowring and other successive owners progressively chose to add some of the classic Birkin-esque Le Mans-style features. During this period, the Blower gained a large Le Mans tank and drilled handbrake lever, while the alloy bodywork was covered in dark green fabric.

A C-Type gearbox replaced the original for a time and the numbered crankcase was replaced with another original Blower Bentley unit (confirmed by its SM prefix), then stamped as MS3930 to match its original. Although sometimes campaigned in unblown form, its original supercharger, casing no.

127, has remained fitted to this day.

The car remained in the UK until the early 1980s, when owner Sam Ornstein of New Jersey shipped

the car to the US. Mr. Ornstein retained the Blower until 1993, when it passed into one of America’s foremost collections of its day, maintained by Henry Petronis of Maryland, who enjoyed the Bentley for 20 years. The car briefly returned to ownership in the UK before being acquired by the current custodian.

Before bringing it to the US, the consignor commissioned the highly regarded specialists at VBE Engineering to rebuild the Bentley’s mechanicals. During this service, the gearbox change was corrected, and the car was fitted with the stronger D-Type gearbox – the unit from the very next supercharged production car, MS3928.

With this work completed, the Blower was exercised regularly on events such as the Colorado Grand. In preparation for a showing at Pebble Beach, the owner turned to Jeff McDonald’s team at McDonald Vintage Restoration in Candby, Oregon, whose workmanship on Rolls-Royce and Bentleys has consistently garnered major concours awards. The refurbishment respected this Blower’s intrinsic authenticity and utilized sister car MS3926, owned

by Dr. Fred Simeone, to ensure accuracy in the details. The green fabric was removed from its exterior, the bodywork restored, and the color returned to its original black over red palette. As a testament to the quality and exacting detail of this

restoration, the Bentley won its class at Pebble Beach in 2022. Its use since has been regular and careful, and the car continues to present beautifully.

A supercar of its day, Birkin’s Supercharged Bentleys are one of the greatest statements of brazen power and presence in motoring ever built. Rarely for a Vintage Bentley, and particularly a Blower, this exceptional car stands today much as it left Bentley Motors, retaining its original Vanden Plas coachwork, Le Mans seats, and most of its original running gear.

A sterling, blue-chip example, this Bentley offers an exceptional chance to experience this legendary model on fast road tours or in concours competition.

1952 Avions Voisin C31 Biscooter Gabriel Voisin surveyed the recovering automotive market of postwar Europe and designed a small, two-passenger vehicle that could be operated without a driver’s license. With the chassis and bodywork made of lightweight aluminum, the Biscooter was a low-cost, low-maintenance vehicle, and its minimalist design reflected Voisin’s knowledge of aircraft construction methods. A four-passenger prototype was shown at the 1950 French Cycle and Motorcycle Show in Paris.

Despite the great interest and positive reception at the event, the successors of Gnome et Rhône/ SNECMA, the new owners of the Voisin factory, did not recognize Voisin’s engineering expertise and

reputation and did not allow production to proceed on the new vehicle. Voisin soon licensed his original two-passenger design to Autonacional S.A. in Barcelona. The Spanish firm built and sold over 12,000 units using the Hispano Villiers 197 cc engine. The Voisin Biscooter offered here was the tenth in a series of 15 prototype models. In the 1980s, it was owned by the renowned art dealer Adrien Maeght in Mougins, France, and in subsequent ownership, the Biscooter received a mechanical restoration at the capable hands of Michel Magnin. In 2011, it joined the Mullin Collection in California, and was showcased in the Mullin Automotive Museum’s 2012 exhibit, La Vision de Voisin.

Among the most celebrated sports cars of its era, the Ferrari Dino represents the perfect union of Pininfarina-inspired design, mid-engine balance, and engineering. Offered here is an exceptionally original and beautifully preserved 246 GT finished in Azzurro Metallizzato, an elegant light blue metallic hue applied to just 116 Dinos during the model’s entire production run.

Displaying just over 14,140 miles at the time of cataloguing, this Dino ranks among the finest unrestored, low-mileage examples extant.

Remarkably, it has never required a mechanical restoration or major rebuild, a testament to its careful ownership and the consistent maintenance it has received.

According to the research of Matthias Bartz, author of the definitive Dino Compendium, this Dino 246 GT, chassis 03236, was completed on January 28, 1972. A US-specification E-Series car equipped with optional power windows and metallic paint, it was originally retailed through Ferrari’s official North American distributor, Luigi Chinetti Motors.

This Dino spent nearly four decades in the care of its original owner, Ernst “Nick” Ohnell of Greenwich, Connecticut. Supplied new with black

vinyl upholstery, it is believed that Chinetti Motors fitted the present beige leather upholstery and carpeting at Mr. Ohnell’s request, and these appointments have been preserved ever since.

In 2012, Mr. Ohnell’s neighbor, Jonathan Cohen, acquired the 246 GT and retained it in his personal collection for approximately five years. During his ownership, the Dino was presented at the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance, where it received the Preservation Award in 2015 in recognition of its extraordinary originality.

In 2020, the 246 GT was acquired by a collector based in Naples, Florida, who added it to a stable that included several significant Dinos – special examples of the model selected for their exceptional provenance, colors, and condition.

During his ownership, this car benefited from more than $50,000 in service work performed by authorized dealer Ferrari of Naples, as documented by invoices on file. Since it was acquired by the current owner, the Dino has benefited from additional attention and a preservation-focused detailing.

1954 Bentley R-Type Continental Fastback With all the accolades that the Vintage Bentley has received, a single postwar model deserves similar praise. The R-Type Continental Fastback is, in all respects, a stroke of genius and is perfectly embodied by the spectacular example offered here.

It was perhaps The Autocar that best captured the essence of Bentley’s exclusive model upon its release: “This Bentley is a modern magic carpet which annihilates distances and delivers the occupants well-nigh as fresh as when they started.

It is a car Britain may well be proud of, and it is sure to add new lustre to the name it bears.”

A clean-sheet design for which there was no equivalent Rolls-Royce, the R-Type Continental Fastback by H.J. Mulliner represents the essence of 1950s luxury grand touring. Upon its release, the R-Type Continental was the world’s fastest four-seater as well as the most expensive production car. Its top speed of 120 mph was achieved in the utmost comfort and style.

Of the 207 production R-Type Continentals built, 192 received fastback coachwork by H.J. Mulliner as developed on the prototype, known affectionately as “Olga.” From every angle, the H.J. Mulliner Fastback is a stunning example of the

In Excess of $2,000,000 Without Reserve Chassis No. BC38LC Engine No. BCC37 Coachwork by H.J. Mulliner

coachbuilder’s art. From the curved front windscreen to the slightly raked radiator shell and the perfectly proportioned rear fenders, the design is breathtaking and evokes the effortless performance that Bentley provided with its uprated Continental underpinnings.

Lightweight was the watchword, and H.J. Mulliner’s proprietary all-aluminum construction method delivered. Even the carpets, leather, and glass were considered “aero-grade,” weighing less than standard materials. Production of the exclusive Continental commenced in January 1952, and the limited production was marked by gradual evolution and improvement.

Original owners of these incredible machines include a roster of world-famous names such as Onassis, Cunningham, Burden, Filipinetti, and Embiricos, as well as a host of royals. Significantly, this R-Type Continental, chassis BC38LC, was the second purchased by famed American sportsman Bill Spear, who took delivery of his first R-Type, chassis BC3A, in mid-1952. A compatriot of Briggs Cunningham and member of his racing team, Spear’s races and successes with the newest competition Ferraris of the day are well documented – including his five consecutive years driving at the 24 Hours of

The example offered here, chassis BC38LC, was originally ordered with the options Alfred Momo specified on Spear’s first R-Type, as he also did for Cunningham and Charles Moran. The delivered options included special damper valving, a Bluemels sprung steering wheel, and a shift-lever extension; the main difference between Spear’s two cars being that this second Fastback was optioned in left-hand

drive, one of just 44 built in total. According to Christian Hueber and David Sulzberger’s definitive register, BC38LC was damaged at an SCCA race in Hagerstown, Maryland, when a competitor’s 300 SL Gullwing left the track and made contact with the Bentley in the paddock. As the bodywork was being repaired, Spear upgraded the R-Type’s engine to the enlarged 4.9-litre unit that the Bentley factory made available via an exchange program to buyers of the A-, B-, and C-Series Continentals.

In 1957, the R-Type was in the ownership of Edward Nisbet of Connecticut, and in 1961, it joined the esteemed collection of Mr. W. Flaccus Stifel of Maryland, where it remained for over 20 years.

Following acquisition by two additional US-based owners in the 1980s and 1990s, BC38LC was exported to Switzerland in 1998, when it was acquired by His Highness Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan. Known primarily for his environmental and humanitarian work throughout the world, the prince was also a lifelong lover of automobiles, with his collection including a Rolls-Royce Phantom IV, Aston Martin DB5, and a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupe. Interestingly, the prince had considered purchasing an R-Type in the early 1950s but passed on the opportunity. Soon after the purchase, the prince commissioned a restoration of the Continental under the supervision of William Medcalf, a London-based restorer and official within the Bentley Drivers Club. It is clear from the volume of correspondence between the two men that not only was a thorough refurbishment of the car performed, but they became personal friends as well.

The work was finished in April 1999, and the prince is said to have been seen in the R-Type quite often on the mountain roads above Gstaad. In 2001, the

prince had a pair of lightweight-style seats built and upholstered to match in anticipation of taking part in various rallies. Plans were made for the prince to attend the 50th anniversary celebration of the R-Type at Silverstone in 2002, where over 50 of the cars would be gathered, but failing health prevented his attendance. Upon the Aga Khan’s passing in 2003, he bequeathed his Bentley to his loyal chauffeur of 22 years who, in early 2004, sold it via a broker to a respected Swiss-based collector and friend of the Aga Khan.

In early 2007, the new owner sent the R-Type to renowned Rolls-Royce and Bentley authorities P & A Wood outside London for considerable additional restoration services. A group of highly detailed receipts totaling nearly $400,000 chronicle the progression of the work, which encompassed mechanical, electrical, and cosmetic aspects. The coachwork was refinished in a darker shade of blue, and the overall results of the job are truly stunning. Once complete, the Bentley took part in the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance®, where it earned a well-deserved First in Class award. In 2018, the Bentley joined a US-based collection, each member of which had been carefully chosen as a masterpiece of design.

1962 Porsche 356 B ‘Twin Grille’ Roadster The development of one of Porsche’s most sporting 356 body styles – the Roadster, itself an evolution of the venerable Speedster – took a fortuitous turn in early 1961. Production demands had long influenced where Porsche’s open 356 models were built and, consequently, the character of their construction.

Just as capacity constraints at Reutter had prompted Porsche to shift Speedster production to Drauz in Heilbronn, Germany, resulting in the aptly named Convertible D of 1958, a substantial contract for Ford truck bodies at Drauz around 1960 once again forced Porsche to seek an alternative coachbuilder for Roadster production.

The solution was found in D’Ieteren Frères, the respected Belgian coachbuilder and long-standing Porsche importer that had held exclusive distribution rights for the marque in Belgium since 1950.

Engaged in automobile coachbuilding beginning in the 1930s, D’Ieteren proved to be an ideal, albeit short-lived, partner for roadster assembly. The Belgian company went on to build approximately 248 examples of the 356 B Roadster during its stint as Porsche’s coachbuilder of choice before the body style was phased out altogether. Featuring the classic twin-grille engine panel of the T-6 coupe design, the rare model has come to be known worldwide as the “Twin Grille” Roadster. Given its

brief period of production and unique character, the D’Ieteren-bodied 356 B Roadster has become one of today’s most prized open 356 models.

According to its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity on file, this “Twin Grille” Roadster completed assembly on December 14, 1961, and was finished in Champagne Yellow paint with a black leatherette interior. As reflected by an original sales contract included with the car’s considerable documentation, this 356 B was sold on September 6, 1963, by its original owner, Robert Freels of New Egypt, New Jersey, to his friend, Hans Arvidson, a serviceman with the 38th Transport Squadron at McGuire Air Force Base. Mr. Arvidson retained the rare Twin Grille Roadster for the next 43 years. The Porsche accompanied him during moves to Colorado in 1966, and Louisiana by 1974.

In July 1991, Mr. Arvidson retained Bill Edwards’ Restoration Services of Golden, Colorado, to conduct a partial mechanical restoration, including an engine rebuild and cosmetic overhaul, as demonstrated by nearly $20,000 in receipts on file. Following Mr. Arvidson’s passing in 2006, the Twin Grille Roadster was inherited by his son, Erik, a resident of Eagan, Minnesota. As the Porsche had spent the preceding seven years in storage,

1957 Alfa Romeo 1900C SSZ ‘Lusso’

$1,250,000–$1,750,000 Chassis No. AR1900C.10593 Engine No. AR1308.10508 (see text) Coachwork by Zagato

Highlights The Ultimate Evolution of the Zagato-Bodied Alfa Romeo 1900 The Last of Only Three Such “Lusso” Coupes Built in 1957 Distinguished by Low-Nose Design and Zagato’s Signature Double-Bubble Roof Formerly Part of Peter Kaus’ Renowned Rosso Bianco Collection; Later Owned by Paul Schouwenberg, Craig Davis, and Mark Gessler Veteran of Six 1000 Miglia Retrospectives, the Colorado Grand, California Mille, and Other Prestigious Events Displayed in the Zagato Centenary Class at the 2019 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance®; Best of Show Postwar and ArtCenter Award Winner at San Marino

By 1957, the Alfa Romeo 1900 Super Sprint Zagato – or SSZ – had largely fulfilled the mission for which it was conceived. Introduced earlier in the decade as a lightweight, dual-purpose gran turismo, the SSZ combined Alfa Romeo’s advanced 1900 chassis with Zagato’s aerodynamic aluminum coachwork to create one of Europe’s most successful under-twoliter GT cars. As newer designs emerged, Zagato began to reinterpret the SSZ for a different clientele: discerning enthusiasts seeking a more refined and individualized sporting automobile.

The original 1900 SSZ emerged directly from Zagato’s racing experience. Through lightweight aluminum panels, Plexiglas windows, and aerodynamically effective coachwork, Zagato reduced weight and improved performance, allowing the 1900 to challenge rivals including the Fiat 8V and Maserati A6G 2000. These early cars were uncompromising sporting machines, designed for both fast road use and competition.

Among the 39 examples built, the final Zagatobodied coupes represented a significant evolution.

At the 1957 Geneva Motor Show, Zagato unveiled an SSZ Spider that previewed a new design language – lower, cleaner, and more elegant than the earlier SSZ coupes. Only two Spiders were produced, neither of which is believed to survive,

but the design directly inspired the three final SSZ coupes, often referred to as the “Lusso” models.

The transformation was substantial. The aggressive forms of the earlier SSZ gave way to a more sophisticated design featuring a lower nose with a smaller Giulietta-style grille, smoother side treatment, refined rear bodywork, and a more luxurious interior. Most notable was Zagato’s double-bubble roof, originally developed as a practical solution to provide additional headroom without increasing overall height, but which quickly became one of the coachbuilder’s signature designs. In the SSZ Lusso, these features transformed the car from a lightweight competition special into a sophisticated sporting GT, a philosophy later echoed in celebrated Zagato creations including custom bodies for the Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France, Lancia Flaminia Sport, and Aston Martin DB4 GT. As Michele Marchianò observed in his definitive book Le Zagato: Fiat 8VZ–Alfa 1900 SSZ, these final examples represented a departure from the earlier racing-focused cars: “It was in fact a luxurious Gran Turismo which Zagato finished in 1958 and which today has become a coveted prize by international collectors.”

Completed in May 1957, chassis AR1900C.10593 is one of only three SSZ Lusso coupes produced and the final Zagato-bodied Alfa Romeo 1900 built.

Uniquely, it is believed to be the only example completed with a floor-shift gearbox rather than the more common column-mounted arrangement.

While its earliest history is not fully documented, the car is believed to have been used briefly by Elio Zagato before being exported to France.

It was later discovered by noted Italian automotive historian, author, collector, and dealer Rob de la Rive Box, leading to its acquisition by Peter Kaus in 1971.

For many years, 10593 was a centerpiece of Kaus’ renowned Rosso Bianco Collection in Aschaffenburg, Germany, displayed alongside significant Zagatobodied Alfa Romeos including an SVZ, SZ, TZ, and TZ2. In 1977, it passed to Dr. Paul Schouwenberg of the Netherlands before being imported to

California in 2000, where it joined the collections of Craig Davis, Dennis Birkheimer, and Mark Gessler.

Under Gessler’s ownership, the SSZ was enjoyed as intended, participating in six editions of the 1000 Miglia retrospective, as well as the California Mille, Colorado Grand, and other historic rallies.

Members of the Zagato family, including Andrea and Marella Rivolta Zagato, as well as Stellantis design executive Ralph Gilles, drove the car on the 1000 Miglia multiple times.

Acquired by its current owner in 2018, the SSZ underwent an extensive concours-quality restoration. The aluminum bodywork was restored

by Beckman Metal Works of Costa Mesa, California, and refinished in an elegant period-correct shade of Amaranto (Amaranth). The interior was retrimmed in two-tone leather by Westminster Auto Upholstery, while the suspension, braking system, and

mechanical components were rebuilt using original and new-old-stock components wherever possible.

During restoration, the car was fitted with a rebuilt tipo 1306 engine incorporating a TIspecification cylinder head for improved performance and drivability. Importantly, it is accompanied by its correct-type tipo 1308 engine, no. 10508, and spare gearbox, allowing a future owner the option of returning it to its original mechanical specification.

As the last of just three SSZ Lusso coupes built, 10593 represents a pivotal moment in Zagato’s history, marking the transition from competitionfocused lightweight construction toward the creation of highly individualized sporting automobiles for connoisseurs. The two other surviving Lusso coupes have remained fixtures in significant California collections for decades, underscoring just how rarely these exceptional Zagatos are offered publicly.

Following completion, the SSZ Lusso debuted at the 2019 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance® during the Zagato Centenary celebration. Since then, it has earned additional honors, including Best of Show Postwar and the ArtCenter Award at the San Marino Motor Classic, as well as Participant’s Choice at the AROC National Convention.

Combining exceptional provenance, exquisite double-bubble Zagato coachwork, and broad eligibility for the world’s most exclusive driving events and concours celebrations, this SSZ presents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most distinctive Alfa Romeos of the 1950s – a brilliant expression of the artistry, innovation, and individuality that define Carrozzeria Zagato.

Alfa Romeo’s Bertone-styled Giulietta Sprint debuted in April 1954, powered by a 1.3-liter, all-alloy, twin-cam, four-cylinder engine. The model was an instant success, and to meet demand for a high-performance version, the sporting Veloce model was introduced for 1956. Having been designed by the same technicians involved in Alfa Romeo’s racing program, the task wasn’t especially difficult.

For those seeking even more outright speed and race-winning capability, an alleggerita (lightened) variant was developed and offered. Coupled with the Veloce’s near-50% increase in horsepower, thanks in part to the cold-air intake fed dual Weber 40DCO3 carburetors and higher compression ratio, these purpose-built machines were about 150 lbs. lighter than the standard model, with their aluminum doors, hood, trunk lid, bumpers, headlight bezels, revised and simplified interior, and Plexiglas windows. These lightweights were equipped to participate in events such as the 1000 Miglia and Targa Florio and achieved success in the Coupe des Alpes, 3 Hours of Daytona, and 12 Hours of Sebring; almost 500 wins were achieved in total.

Alleggerita was purchased new in January 1957 by Denis de Graffenried Villars, who campaigned it in local Swiss rallies including the International Mountain Race at Tiefencastel that August. A copy of the event program and photos of the car competing accompany the sale, as do maintenance receipts from well-known Swiss automotive specialist Karl Foitek. In 1967, the Alfa Romeo was sold to fellow Swiss resident Benjamin Muller, who reportedly continued to enter the car in competition. In about 1973, Muller placed the Giulietta in storage, where it remained until circa 1996, when it was discovered and purchased by the noted Swiss collector Christoph Grohe. Mr. Grohe and subsequent European owners performed restorative work to the car and by 2014, the lightweight Giulietta had been imported to California by the respected automotive historian and Pebble Beach Concours Judge, Ron Hein.

Mr. Hein’s restorations of important Italian cars are known the world over as some of the most accurate and detailed ever performed. Of the 10 or so cars he has completed for his own enjoyment, his exacting nature is particularly evident in this Alfa Romeo’s presentation.

1930 Packard 734 Speedster Runabout In early 1929, Packard executives circulated a memo to distributors describing a new, high-speed sporting model to be built in extremely limited numbers for the upcoming Seventh Series and available only by special order. Built on a 134.5" wheelbase, the Model 734 Speedster has since earned a reputation as one of the finest sporting automobiles produced by an American manufacturer before WWII. The brainchild of Col. Jesse G. Vincent, Packard’s Vice President of Engineering, the 734 was a true factory hot rod. Built on Packard’s shortest chassis, it featured 19" wheels, a high-speed 3.31:1 rear axle ratio, finned brake drums, and a specially tuned DeLuxe Eight engine. Equipped with a dual-throat Detroit Lubricator carburetor, hemispherical combustion chambers, special manifolds, a high-compression cylinder head, and cutoutequipped exhaust system, the Speedsters produced an impressive 145 hp. In 1930, only the Duesenberg Model J offered more power from an Americanbuilt, eight-cylinder automobile.

The 734 Speedster could reach 60 mph in second gear and achieve a top speed exceeding 110 mph – extraordinary figures for the period, particularly for a luxury automobile. Yet performance was only part of

the story. Beautifully engineered and elegantly styled, these Packards combined effortless speed with refinement. Priced at more than $5,000 when new – at a time when a Ford roadster cost approximately $460 – each was extensively tested at the Packard Proving Grounds and delivered ready for sustained, high-speed motoring.

Never advertised and exclusive from the outset, the 734 Speedster was offered in five body styles: boattail runabout, phaeton, victoria, sedan, and the later 2/4-place runabout roadster. Bodies were built

by Packard’s in-house Custom Body Works and tailored specifically to the Speedster chassis, being lower, narrower, and more sporting in appearance than standard Packards. Among them, the boattail runabout, with its minimal top and staggered seating arrangement, was the most dramatic and ultimately the most sought after. Of the approximately 113 Model 734 Speedsters built, only 39 were fitted with this runabout body style.

The 734 Speedster offered here is among the finest surviving examples and boasts a fascinating history dating back to new.

Brooklyn, New York. Described by The New York Times as “an exhibitor and judge of dog shows and a sportsman of varied interests,” Mr. Halley was an accomplished outdoorsman, collector, and automotive enthusiast. A veteran of WWI, he later managed Giralda Farms, the celebrated New Jersey estate of Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge and Marcellus Hartley Dodge, while also becoming a respected figure in the dog-show world.

Above all, Halley was an automobile connoisseur.

His collection included some of the finest sporting automobiles of the era, among them a Bugatti Type 51 Grand Prix and a bespoke Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Touring Spider. He also commissioned the famous custom special known as “Halley’s Comet,” built by Zumbach’s of Manhattan.

Halley entrusted Zumbach’s with the care of his Speedster and personalized it with several tasteful additions. Period photographs show the Packard finished in a single, dark color and equipped with painted wire wheels, chromed spare covers, French Marchal headlamps, a radiator-cap tachometer, auxiliary lights and horns, and other distinctive details.

The striking appearance of Halley’s Speedster made a lasting impression on New York enthusiasts, including noted automotive historian Smith Hempstone Oliver. So captivated was Oliver by this particular car that it inspired his landmark 1958 Bulb Horn article, “Model 734 Packard Speedster of 1930.” Recalling his first encounter with the Runabout, Oliver wrote:

LOT 146

“The first such car that I ever saw was a pointed-tail specimen that was being driven by a blonde down Flushing Avenue in Brooklyn in 1932. This, I later learned, was the car of McClure Halley, an ardent enthusiast who lived practically across the street from the Coney Island Hospital on Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn. The blonde was his wife. I later saw the car parked outside Abercrombie and Fitch’s on Madison Avenue in Manhattan, and had a chance to examine it somewhat. Later I met Halley at his home, and made occasional visits there to see him and his cars.”

Prior to WWII, Halley sold the Packard to noted photographer and automobile enthusiast Leo Pavelle of Mount Vernon, New York. In 1942, Pavelle sold the car to legendary automotive author Ralph Stein. Although Stein owned the Speedster for only a short time, it clearly left a lasting impression. He featured the car in The World of the Automobile and later reflected on selling it in The Great Cars: “The Packard boat-tail is one of the few cars I regret selling. But I had little choice. The garage operator in whose premises lay an Invicta I had bought refused to allow me to remove it unless I sold him the Packard for $300. Although the Packard looked new and ran perfectly, I was so smitten with the Invicta that I allowed him to get away with his extortion.”

By approximately 1948, the Speedster had passed to John Putch of Shreveport, Louisiana, who retained it for nearly two decades. In 1967, it was acquired by Bill Carney of Kansas and subsequently passed through a small number of dedicated collectors in Wisconsin, California, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. During this period, it was featured in The Classic Car Bulletin and preserved as an important surviving example of Packard’s celebrated sporting model.

The Speedster later joined the collection of noted enthusiast and vintage racer Tom Hollfelder, who displayed it at the Packards International Grand Salon’s Circle of Champions and drove it on the 1994 California Mille. In 2001, Hollfelder sold the car at Christie’s Pebble Beach auction to Otis Chandler, famed collector and publisher of the Los Angeles Times. Three years later, it was acquired by prominent California collector Ray Scherr, who commissioned a comprehensive restoration by Stone Barn Automobile Restoration of New Jersey.

Refinished in a rich, dark green with tan leather upholstery, the Speedster debuted at the 2006 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance®, where it earned First in Class honors. Additional accolades followed, including the Breitling Award for Timeless Beauty at the 2007 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance and First in Class at the 2009 Kirkland Concours d’Elegance.

BEX 1213’s next custodian was Carl W. Bloom of Santa Ana, California. A number of original receipts and registration cards dating from his ownership are on file. Bloom placed the AC in storage in the late 1960s, where it remained undisturbed and largely forgotten until discovered intact in 2012, with just 5,100 miles on its odometer.

This Continental lived up to its name, crossing the US with its original owner, Robin McAlpine, in 1933.

1932 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental Close-Coupled Coupe Rolls-Royce introduced the Continental version of the Phantom II to cater to owners desirous of high-speed touring over extended distances. Fitted to the shorter-wheelbase chassis and generally equipped with a higher-compression engine and taller gearing, these technical features provided a swift and luxurious conveyance well-suited to the improved road conditions on the European continent. Just 279 Phantom II Continentals were built, and this one is distinguished by handsome one-off close-coupled coupe coachwork by Windovers in well-preserved condition.

The build sheet for chassis 81 JS lists an off-test date of April 29, 1932, destined for Robin McAlpine at Fairmile, the McAlpine estate in Cobham, Surrey.

His grandfather, Robert McAlpine Sr., founded the construction empire that built such noteworthy structures as Wembley Stadium and the Dorchester Hotel. The younger McAlpine cultivated a fondness for fine motorcars, later purchasing two additional Phantom IIs and a 25/30 model. McAlpine’s intentions for 81 JS were clearly documented on its build sheet: “Car for use in the UK and on the Continent, mainly for touring.” Specific features included 5:1 compression ratio pistons, the low-rake “F” steering column, a louvered bonnet, a twin rear carrier for the spare tires, and even a “Bentley

pattern steering wheel with reeded grip and 1" diameter rim,” all designed to enhance the car’s touring capabilities.

Coachwork for 81 JS was equally impressive.

Windovers Ltd. of London crafted a one-off, close-coupled coupe perfectly suited to this high-speed chassis. Carrying design no. 5830, it features a lengthy hood with flowing front fenders uninterrupted by side-mounted spares.

The leading edge of the low roofline incorporates a visor, while the blind rear quarters ensure privacy, creating an intimate passenger compartment accessed by rear-hinged doors. A distinctive chrome beltline molding runs the length of the body, then tapers down to match the contours of the rear fenders.

Highlights The Ultimate Development of the GTC; One of Only 168 Examples Built Documentation Includes Classiche Red Book, Factory Build Sheets, and Marcel Massini Report Offered in Its Original Grigio Mahmoud over Pelle Bleu Specification, with Borrani Wire Wheels and Desirable Factory Air-Conditioning Thoroughly Maintained and Tastefully Upgraded with over $55,000 Spent Since Its Acquisition in 2014 Retains Matching-Numbers Engine and Transaxle per Classiche Certification

$750,000–$850,000 Chassis No. 12541 Engine No. 12541 Coachwork by Pininfarina

The 365 Grand Touring Coupe, or GTC, was the ultimate mechanical development of Ferrari’s luxurious late-1960s road car. Positioned as a refined gran turismo to complement the contemporary 275 GTB, the GTC first appeared at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show featuring the single-cam, four-liter engine introduced in the 330 GT 2+2. In the smaller and lighter GTC, this engine provided performance dividends, and the new Pininfarina coachwork was exceptionally elegant, combining the prior Ferrari cues of an oval-shaped grille and tapered tail with new features, such as slim pillars and an airy, glass-oriented cabin.

Viewed by many enthusiasts as the proper replacement for the beloved 250 GT Lusso, which lacked a true successor after being discontinued in 1964, the 330 GTC was made in a limited quantity of 598 examples. In late 1968, the model was replaced by the improved 365 GTC, which featured a larger 4.4-liter engine, designated as the tipo 245/C. The 365’s most notable physical difference from its GTC predecessor was the relocation of the front cooling vents from the fenders to the hood. Far rarer than the 330 GTC, the 365 was made in a sparing run of just 168 examples and, in many

respects, the model can be considered the ultimate evolution of Ferrari’s vintage touring coupe, both refined and sporting.

This 365 GTC, chassis 12541 was inspected by Ferrari’s Classiche department, and its Red Book was issued in May 2015, confirming its original specification and all-important matching-numbers engine and transaxle, ensuring its authenticity and factory-correct specification. This ideally presented late-production 365 GTC is also documented with copies of its factory build sheets and a history report by Marcel Massini. It is equipped with air-conditioning, power windows, and a Blaupunkt radio.

Chassis 12541 was originally finished in Grigio Mahmoud (Mahmoud Gray) paint over an interior of blue leather, as it is presented today. Other than a refinishing in its original color in 1994, this car is believed to be largely original and displays excellent quality in its brightwork, interior, and Borrani wire wheels, mounted with correct Michelin XWX tires.

Accompanied by its books and tools, this beautiful and rare Ferrari has been maintained by one knowledgeable and fastidious owner over the last 14 years and is documented with yearly service receipts over that period.

In current ownership, over $55,000 has been invested in the GTC’s preservation and performance, including rebuilding the shock absorbers, overhauling the steering box, and replacing the suspension bushings. To enhance its touring capabilities, the car underwent a multiyear modernization of its air-conditioning system, featuring an upgraded blower motor, customfabricated lines, and a modern condenser. The V-12 powerplant has been finely tuned with larger main jets and updated ignition components.

As the GTC models have recently evolved into the next highly sought-after Enzo-era Ferrari, wellrestored examples have increasingly appeared on the show fields of FCA events and prestigious

concours d’elegance. This newfound popularity only further distinguishes pristine, unrestored examples such as this car, which should make an ideal entrant in concours competition.

Complete with copies of factory build sheets, Marcel Massini Report, and its all-important Ferrari Classiche Red Book, chassis 12541, finished in its distinguished, original colors is a highly presentable example of the exceedingly rare 365 GTC.

The Brian Brunkhorst Collection A life defined by competition, curiosity, and an unrelenting pursuit of excellence. From a gifted young basketball star to a participant in the world’s great motoring events, Brian Brunkhorst lived with rare intensity and purpose.

Born in Abbotsford, Wisconsin, on June 12, 1945, Brian quickly distinguished himself as a natural athlete. At Marquette University in Milwaukee, playing basketball under coach Al McGuire, he rose to team captain and set free throw records, embodying discipline, leadership, and competitive drive. Drafted by both the New York Knicks (NBA) and the Los Angeles Stars (ABA), he ultimately moved to California, where a second, equally defining passion took hold.

That passion was the automobile, and it became a lifelong devotion grounded in encyclopedic

knowledge and deep historical curiosity. A student of automotive history, Brian spent countless nights studying marques and chassis evolution, often immersed in issues of Ferrari Market Letter, developing an expertise that matched his enthusiasm. He emerged as a discerning Ferrari collector and driver, assembling a remarkable group of cars including a 250 GTO, a Competition California Spider, 275 GTB, Tour de France and SWB Berlinettas, and multiple Daytonas and Dinos – cars he not only collected, but understood in extraordinary technical depth.

His curiosity extended beyond the Ferrari marque and eventually led him to the finest prewar sports and racing cars. He owned significant examples including a Bugatti Type 35 Grand Prix and a Mercedes-Benz SSK, yet it was Alfa Romeo that ultimately captured his deepest admiration –

particularly the Vittorio Jano-designed 6C and 8C models.

Brian’s enthusiasm carried him across the world, as he competed in the 1000 Miglia on multiple occasions, the Colorado Grand, historic racing at Road America, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance®, the Louis Vuitton Bagatelle Concours d’Elegance in Paris, and Alfa Romeo 8C tours throughout Europe and the US. Gooding Christie’s is honored to offer three automobiles from the estate of Brian Brunkhorst, presented as a continuation of his extraordinary legacy and enduring passion for the world’s finest motor cars.

1932 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Lungo Spider FROM THE BRIAN BRUNKHORST COLLECTION

Highlights Magnificent, Highly Individual Example of Alfa Romeo’s Legendary 8C 2300 Delivered new to Naples, Italy, with Exceptional One-Off Open Coachwork by Zagato Owned by Noted Alfisti Including the Wilkins Brothers, Vojta Mashek, and Hugh Taylor Part of the Esteemed Brian Brunkhorst Collection for over Two Decades Matching-Numbers Chassis Mechanically Restored by Rick Bunkfeldt with Masterfully Recreated Zagato Coachwork by Acclaimed Restorer Dino Cognolato Participant in the Exclusive Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance® and 8C Tour

When introduced in 1931, the 8C 2300 established a new benchmark for high-performance sports cars. Conceived by the brilliant engineer Vittorio Jano, whose designs had already delivered Alfa Romeo numerous victories in sports car and Grand Prix racing, the 8C combined a supercharged twin-cam, straight-eight engine with a sophisticated chassis derived directly from the company’s competition program. Sold as a bare chassis to an exclusive clientele, it was clothed

by Italy’s foremost coachbuilders, including Touring and Zagato, whose elegant bodies helped define the visual language of the great prewar sporting automobile.

This exceptional long-wheelbase example, chassis 2211086, is among the most individual and historically fascinating 8C 2300s. Delivered in late 1932 to Naples, Italy, it was fitted from new with striking one-off open coachwork by Zagato – an unusually sporting and distinctive design that immediately set the car apart, even within the rarefied world of custom-bodied Alfa Romeos.

While Italian registration records describe the car simply as a two-seat Spider, period photographs and contemporary documentation reveal a far more elaborate and imaginative configuration, incorporating unusual details that suggest

$2,500,000–$3,500,000 Chassis No. 2211086 Engine No. 2211086 Coachwork In the Style of Zagato

a bespoke commission executed for a particularly discerning customer.

The Zagato body combined flowing, purposeful lines with an unusual degree of functional sophistication, including flared cycle-style fenders, louvered valances, a fold-flat windscreen, dual rear-mounted spares, and streamlined tool and battery boxes. Most unusual of all were the rear-access doors and folding occasional seating arrangement, concealed beneath a removable metal cover when not in use. The result was a uniquely adaptable Zagato Spider – the only example of its kind known to have been built on an 8C 2300 chassis.

The car was first registered in Naples in December 1932 to Vincenzo Russo, a figure whose connection to racing in southern Italy adds an intriguing dimension to its earliest history. Russo is believed to have moved within a broader circle of Neapolitan drivers and intermediaries associated with Giovanni Rocco, and period research suggests that he may have acted as a prestanome – a nominal registered owner – on behalf of Rocco or related interests.

While such arrangements were not uncommon in Italy, particularly among owners of valuable automobiles, they reflect the often complex and

opaque circumstances surrounding some of the era’s most desirable machines.

Unlike many of its contemporaries, this 8C does not appear to have been actively raced, serving instead as a fast and stylish road car. Nevertheless, one of the earliest known photographs of 2211086 places it at the 1933 Sorrento-Sant’Agata Hillclimb, where it was pictured among the competition machinery gathered for the event. Whether present as a participant, support vehicle, or simply the personal transportation of one of the event’s protagonists remains unknown, but the image provides a fascinating glimpse into the car’s earliest years and confirms its association with the vibrant Italian sporting scene of the period.

Sometime after May 1934, following the resolution of Russo’s financial obligations associated with the car, 2211086 left Italy and migrated to the UK, where it was acquired by the Wilkins brothers – G.T.

“Pat” and Dick Wilkins of Surrey. Enthusiastic early Alfisti, the brothers had already owned several significant examples, including a 6C 1750 Grand Sport Spider by Zagato. Their acquisition of 2211086 marked a natural progression to the more powerful and prestigious 8C. Registered in the UK in July 1934 as “BGO 883,” the Alfa Romeo was likely kept at the Wilkins family residence at Sendhurst Grange in Surrey. During this period, the car was actively enjoyed on the road, reflecting the brothers’ enthusiastic approach to motoring. One such excursion took the Alfa Romeo to the Isle of Man for the Mannin Moar, where Dick Wilkins competed aboard his 8C Monza alongside friend Jock Leith in a Bugatti Type 35B. Chassis 2211086 made the journey as the brothers’ personal transport, a fitting role for such a fast and sporting road car.

In late 1935, a significant transformation altered the car’s appearance and identity. For reasons that remain partly speculative – though likely related to a desire for improved weather protection and year-round usability – the original Zagato body was removed and replaced with a second-hand Castagna Drophead Coupe body. The conversion was carried out in Surrey by Newns Coach Builders and Engineers, and the car was subsequently refinished in black with contrasting white pinstriping.

In this Castagna configuration, 2211086 remained in the UK throughout the remainder of the prewar era and into the early postwar period. During these years it passed through a succession of British owners, including G.V. Burton and later George Ryley, and at some point received further modifications, most notably the installation of a Monza-style radiator cowl.

By the early 1960s, the 8C had been exported to the US and entered the collection of pioneering Chicago-based enthusiast Vojta Mashek, whose stable included some of the era’s most important Alfa Romeos, Bugattis, and European sports cars.

During Mashek’s ownership, chassis 2211086 became a familiar and admired presence within the Midwest collector community. Finished in gray with

red wheels and still carrying its British registration, the 8C was illustrated in several landmark automotive publications, including Ralph Stein’s The Great Cars and Automobile Quarterly.

Following Mashek’s death, the Alfa Romeo remained within his family for several decades, passing to his widow and later their daughter, who preserved the car with minimal intervention.

The next significant chapter began when the car returned to the UK under the ownership of respected collector Hugh Taylor, himself a custodian of important Alfa Romeo machinery, including an exceptionally original 8C 2300 Touring Spider and the ex-Don Lee P3. Taylor maintained the 8C until 2005, when it was acquired by Brian Brunkhorst, whose estate offers the car today.

At the time of Brunkhorst’s acquisition, chassis 2211086 still wore the Castagna Drophead Coupe body fitted in 1935. Over time, and with a deep appreciation for the car’s earliest and most evocative configuration, Brunkhorst made the decision to return the Alfa Romeo to its original appearance. This was not undertaken as a corrective erasure of history, but rather as a carefully considered restoration informed by

LOT 151

surviving period photographs and material preserved within the Wilkins family archives.

Following a mechanical rebuild by master technician Rick Bunkfeldt, the rolling chassis was shipped to acclaimed restorer Dino Cognolato, whose work on significant Italian automobiles is widely respected. The result is a masterful recreation of the car’s original Zagato Spider body, executed with exceptional fidelity to proportion, detail, and finish. Handsomely finished in black and accented by finely polished trim, the car captures the purposeful sporting presence that defined it when new. It is a particularly striking interpretation of the long-wheelbase 8C 2300: sinister, elegant, and unmistakably Italian in character.

Following completion of the restoration, 2211086 was shown and enjoyed at prominent events, including the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance® and the exclusive Alfa Romeo 8C Tour of the Rockies.

Offered today from the esteemed Brian Brunkhorst Collection, this extraordinary Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 combines many of the qualities most prized by discerning Alfisti: a matching-numbers chassis and engine, exceptional provenance, and a distinctive coachbuilt design unlike any other. From its intriguing early history in Naples and association with the circle of Giovanni Rocco, to its ownership by the Wilkins brothers during the golden age of British motoring, this Alfa Romeo has led a fascinating and unusually well-documented

1932 Ford Hi-Boy Roadster

Highlights

This incredible Deuce traces its roots to the very beginnings of the West Coast hot rod movement in the years immediately following WWII. It was acquired by Brian Brunkhorst in 2000 from his friend and noted hot rodder Mitchell Rasansky, having disappeared from the hot rod scene following a long period of storage after its active career. Fascinated by the provenance of his automobiles, Mr. Brunkhorst began researching his latest acquisition in the Don Montgomery books, when he noticed a striking resemblance between his new roadster and a car campaigned by William Benson during the 1940s. Ultimately, this discovery led him to track down Benson, with the most remarkable result. Benson not only confirmed that this was indeed his car, but he also had many photographs of his exploits and could recount its extraordinary history. Incredibly, he still even had original receipts for parts he had purchased.

From this research, it is known that the car was built

by Elwood Rehkop of Ontario, California, and originally powered by an Edelbrock engine, enabling its creator to achieve 106.25 mph at El Mirage Dry Lake on June 2, 1946. Less than a year later, Rehkop traded it to William Benson for a 1946 Ford Coupe. In this next chapter of the roadster’s history, Benson beat Rehkop’s time, recording 108.04 mph in July 1948

$100,000–$150,000 Without Reserve Chassis No. CALN174215

– and later pushing that to a remarkable 121.93 mph.

Benson subsequently made several modifications to the roadster: fitting a louvered hood, adding “Lakes Pipes,” and switching its Auburn instrument cluster for a Stewart-Warner panel, while the interior and top were redone by Bob Lee and a Mercury steering wheel was installed. In this configuration, Benson exhibited the roadster at the 1948 Hot Rod Exposition at the L.A. National Guard Armory, regarded as one of the key events in the formative years of hot rodding. Remarkably, Benson’s roadster is one of only three known survivors to have been present, the other two being the Doane Spencer and Ray Brown roadsters.

Roughly a year later, Benson sold the roadster to Ralph Cooper of the Pomona-Chino area, a decision he still regretted when Mr. Brunkhorst tracked him down 50 years later. Retired from active use, the roadster was placed into storage in 1956 and remained there until the 1980s. At that point, it passed through Frank Pittenger’s esteemed Vintage Parts store in Phoenix, before being acquired by Mitchell Rasansky and, ultimately, Brian Brunkhorst.

Conceived by the brilliant engineer Vittorio Jano and unveiled at Milan in 1925, the 6C was the first Alfa Romeo to bring Grand Prix technology to a production sports car. This lightweight twin-cam six-cylinder model, introduced in 1500 cc form, established Alfa Romeo as the dominant sporting Italian marque of its era. Combining advanced engineering, exceptional road manners, and thoroughbred performance, the 6C captured victories in many of Europe’s most important events, including the 1000 Miglia, Targa Florio, and Spa 24 Hours. In supercharged Super Sport and Grand Sport specification, the model represented the pinnacle of Alfa Romeo’s development of the 6C and laid the foundation for the legendary eight-cylinder cars that followed.

Among the most coveted 6Cs are the rare “Testa Fissa” variants, highly specialized competition derivatives created to withstand the demands of endurance racing. To eliminate the head-gasket failures that could plague highly stressed supercharged engines, Alfa Romeo cast the cylinder head and block as a single unit, producing one of the most sophisticated high-performance engines of its day. Built in extremely limited numbers and reserved for the factory’s most serious competition efforts, these powerful Testa

Fissa engines were supplied to leading drivers including Nuvolari, Campari, and Varzi.

Offered here, chassis 0312871, is among the most historically significant surviving examples of this rare breed. A genuine Super Sport model with important period racing history, it boasts associations with Giulio Ramponi and Giuseppe Campari, as well as an extraordinary chain of stewardship that includes just three knowledgeable custodians since 1961 – the most recent being the great American Alfista Brian Brunkhorst.

According to respected marque historian Angela Cherrett, “Four Zagato-bodied 1500 SS Supercharged cars were collected from the factory and driven to England, where they were to compete in various races.” The purchaser was Fred W. Stiles, founder of Alfa Romeo (British Sales) Ltd. and one of the marque’s earliest and most enthusiastic advocates outside Italy.

Chassis 0312871 was among this select quartet collected directly from Alfa Romeo’s Portello works on April 29, 1929. Originally registered in Milan as “MI 29480,” it was driven to England and soon issued the British registration “UV 818,” under which it would achieve its most important period

competition successes. Prepared as part of Stiles’s semi-works racing effort, the Alfa Romeo was entered in the inaugural Brooklands Double Twelve, held on May 10–11, 1929, where it formed part of a three-car team that Stiles assembled to challenge the finest sporting machinery of the day.

Conceived by the Junior Car Club as a practical alternative to the traditional 24-hour race, the Brooklands Double Twelve required competitors to complete two separate 12-hour sessions on consecutive days, with cars sealed overnight and inaccessible to mechanics. For this demanding event, chassis 0312871 was fitted with the highperformance Testa Fissa engine and entrusted to Alfa Romeo works test driver Giulio Ramponi and Count Giovanni Lurani, carrying race no. 53.

Ramponi was one of the most accomplished figures in Alfa Romeo’s competition department, having served as riding mechanic to Antonio Ascari and

Giuseppe Campari while playing a key role in the testing and development of Vittorio Jano’s racing cars. During the Double Twelve he delivered a performance of remarkable consistency and determination. As Lurani later recalled in Racing Around the World, he waited in full racing gear ready to relieve Ramponi, only to discover that his co-driver had no intention of relinquishing the wheel. Despite a late mechanical delay when the battery box came loose, Ramponi pressed on and secured victory by the narrowest of margins – defeating a Bentley on handicap by just four seconds.

The Brooklands triumph immediately established the Alfa Romeo as one of the most formidable 1.5-liter competition cars in Britain. Later that season, the Testa Fissa was likely among the Stiles-entered 6Cs campaigned in the Irish Grand Prix at Phoenix Park and subsequently appeared in the RAC Tourist Trophy at Ards. There, reportedly driven by Giuseppe Campari, “UV 818” delivered

another outstanding performance, winning the 1.5-liter class and finishing 2nd Overall, beaten only

by Rudolf Caracciola’s far more powerful 7.1-liter supercharged Mercedes-Benz SS.

Family accounts suggest the arrangement proved short-lived, with Mrs. Cunningham eventually returning home by train, leaving Briggs to continue his journey with the Alfa Romeo alone.

Originally delivered as a lightweight, cyclefendered Zagato Spider, the 6C 1500 was updated after the 1929 racing season with a traditional Gran Sport-type Zagato body. The resulting configuration, which it retains today, perfectly complements the compact proportions and purposeful character of the Super Sport chassis.

By the early 1930s, the Alfa Romeo had passed to the colorful jazz musician and amateur racing driver Buddy Featherstonhaugh, who campaigned it successfully at Brooklands. In the years that followed, it remained in the hands of a succession of notable enthusiasts, including George Abecassis, Frank Kennington, and Bill Moss, pillars of the vibrant British sporting scene. Throughout the ’40s and ’50s, the 6C continued to appear in speed trials, hill climbs, and club competition, retaining its identity as a highly capable and charismatic sporting machine.

While it cannot be confirmed definitively, it is believed that this Alfa Romeo was acquired in 1930

by American sportsman Briggs Cunningham, later celebrated for his Le Mans campaigns and America’s Cup challenges. Seeking a suitable companion for a European honeymoon tour, Cunningham purchased the Zagato Spider and set off across Britain with his bride, Lucie Bedford.

In 1961, the Alfa Romeo entered what would become one of the defining chapters of its history when it was acquired by Bill Meacham. Having

LOT 153

admired the car for years, Meacham eventually persuaded its owner to part with it, financing the purchase by selling his Lotus Seven. He later recalled first encountering the Alfa Romeo as a student, hearing the unmistakable whine of its supercharger long before it came into view - a moment that left an indelible impression and ultimately inspired him to acquire it.

During the next 37 years, Meacham proved one of the car’s most devoted custodians. He rebuilt the engine while deliberately preserving its original 1,500 cc displacement, together with the period Roots-type supercharger and SU carburetor installed in the early 1950s, explaining that its extraordinary history made any further modification unthinkable. Rather than preserving the Alfa Romeo as a static artifact, he used it extensively for touring and enthusiast events, even driving it on the Meachams’ honeymoon. It became a familiar presence within British Alfa Romeo circles and was featured in television programs, exhibitions, and specialist publications, including Angela Cherrett’s authoritative book on the model.

In 1998, the 6C 1500 was acquired from Meacham by renowned Alfa Romeo enthusiast David Uihlein.

Later passing to Brian Brunkhorst, it became a

cherished centerpiece of his collection, enjoyed on annual trips to Road America and weekend excursions around the rural roads of Wisconsin.

Today, this remarkable 6C 1500 Super Sport retains its period Zagato Spider coachwork and the rare Testa Fissa engine (no. 0312654) fitted when it was campaigned by F.W. Stiles in 1929. While the cylinder head was converted in later years to the more conventional detachable type, its original non-detachable Testa Fissa head accompanies the car as a spare.

Victorious at Brooklands with Giulio Ramponi, a class winner at Ards with Giuseppe Campari, and later owned by several of the most influential figures of the postwar sports car movement, it possesses a provenance that reads like a who’s who of motorsport history. Perhaps most remarkably, chassis 0312871 has been in the care of just three devoted custodians since 1961.

Now offered from the esteemed Brian Brunkhorst Collection, this historically significant 6C 1500 Super Sport stands among the most compelling prewar sports cars extant – a true connoisseur’s motorcar and one of the most evocative survivors of Alfa Romeo’s golden age.

2005 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

Highlights

Named after a legendary Italian designer and coachbuilder, the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti was built as a successor to the long-running 456. Unlike so many of the brand’s previous cars with a 2+2 layout, the 612 actually had room to fit four comfortably, largely thanks to an additional 14" in the wheelbase.

Although the car grew dimensionally, an allaluminum spaceframe meant the car weighed less than the significantly smaller 456 and, when paired with a 5.7-liter V-12, made the 612 one of the fastest four-seaters on the market with a top speed of nearly 200 mph.

1914 Stutz Model 4E ‘Bearcat’

Highlights

Few names in the motoring world are as recognizable as Stutz. Although Harry Clayton Stutz began his journey in the automotive industry in 1903, it was not until 1911 that his name became synonymous with quality and performance. Just five weeks before the inaugural Indianapolis 500 in 1911, Stutz designed and built a racing car of his own.

Named the “Bear Cat,” it finished an extraordinary 11th place without suffering a single mechanical flaw. This achievement inspired the slogan, “The Car That Made Good in a Day,” and began a trailblazing legacy for one of the most famed marques in American automotive history.

Notes Please note that this vehicle is titled by its engine number.

This example of Stutz’s legendary 1914 Model 4E is believed to have once been owned by the pioneering collecting trio of Orris Meyers, Purcell M. Ingram, and Orville Race. In 1954, the three opened the Kings of the Road Museum in Cucamonga, California, taking its name from Ken Purdy’s book, The Kings of the Road. Situated along historic Route 66, the museum served as an early roadside automotive attraction for travelers. It is believed that this Stutz, then in touring-bodied form, spent its earliest known days on display there.

By 1957, the Stutz had been acquired by Pacific Auto Rental, a company founded by dentist and

$300,000–$400,000 Without Reserve Chassis No. 1403 Engine No. AI3

automobile enthusiast Dr. George F. Schweiger.

The business grew from an automobile collection Dr. Schweiger had assembled beginning in the 1920s, and at its peak comprised more than 300 vehicles. Pacific Auto Rental supplied vehicles to various Hollywood studios, with its collection appearing in countless films and television shows from the 1940s through the 1970s. Prior to its screen debut in The Wings of Eagles, the Stutz was converted from its original touring configuration to Bearcat specification. Such transformations were not an uncommon occurrence during the period, as both body styles shared the same chassis and mechanical underpinnings, making it easy for owners to give touring models the more sporting appearance of the Bearcats.

During its years with Pacific Auto Rental, the Stutz became a Hollywood star. Between 1957 and 1971, it appeared in no fewer than 10 films and television shows, making it one of the most recognizable Brass Era automobiles to grace the silver screen.

Throughout its time on Hollywood sets, the Stutz was presented in a variety of color combinations, including red and black, a striking white with a spotlight fitted, and, of course, the marque’s signature yellow. Additionally, while appearing in various productions, Hollywood icons such as

John Wayne and James Earl Jones took turns behind the wheel of this very car.

By 1972, the Stutz’s Hollywood career had come to an end. It nevertheless remained part of Dr. Schweiger’s remarkable collection until his passing in 1982. By the early 1990s, the car had joined a significant collection of Brass and Nickel Era automobiles, where it has remained a prominent fixture ever since. Upon its acquisition, the Stutz was subject to a restoration and was finished in its dramatic all-black livery, accented by a black radiator and contrasting red wheels.

It still presents wonderfully today.

Among the most recognizable prewar American automobiles, the Stutz Bearcat is one of the finest Brass Era automobiles ever produced. Since its debut, the Stutz has been highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike, thanks in large part to the influence of Ralph Stein’s The Great Cars, the aforementioned Ken Purdy book The Kings of the Road, and nearly a dozen Hollywood productions that prominently featured this exact Bearcat.

Today, this Stutz is ready to embark on the next chapter in its already impressive and illustrious history. Collectors seeking to enjoy the thrills of Brass Era motoring should not overlook this opportunity to acquire a fine example from one of the most celebrated marques of the era.

Highlights Among the Finest, Most Beautifully Restored Spider Americas Extremely Rare as One of Only 181 Left-HandDrive Examples Presented in Its Striking Original Verde Acquamarina over Green Color Scheme Retains Matching-Numbers Engine and Transaxle per Lancia Factory Records Concours-Quality Restoration Completed in 2022 by Renowned Italian Specialists Offered with Fontana Hardtop, Books, Tools, and Lancia Classiche Certificate

1955 Lancia Aurelia B24S Spider America Upon its debut at the 1950 Torino Motor Show, the Lancia Aurelia was recognized as one of the most technically sophisticated automobiles of the era.

Developed under the direction of legendary engineers Vittorio Jano and Francesco de Virgilio, the Aurelia showcased a variety of advanced features, including a rear-mounted transaxle, four-wheel independent suspension, inboard rear brakes, and the world’s first production V-6 engine.

The model’s sporting credentials were swiftly established by the Aurelia B20 GT, which achieved a sensational 2nd Place finish at the 1951 1000 Miglia, beaten only by a Ferrari 340 America. Further successes followed, including a class victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, cementing the model’s reputation as one of the most capable gran turismos of the postwar period. The Aurelia’s sporting success encouraged Lancia to develop cutting-edge sports racing and grand prix machines, culminating in the formidable D24 and D50.

Introduced at the 1955 Brussels Motor Show, the B24 Spider America represented the ultimate expression of the Aurelia line. Built upon the fourth-series B20 GT chassis, the Spider America featured a 2.5-liter V-6 engine, De Dion rear axle, and floor-mounted gearshift. With performance

approaching 115 mph, the B24 ranked among the finest open sports cars of its day.

As its name implied, the Spider America was conceived with the lucrative US market in mind, where demand for stylish European sports cars was rapidly growing. Contemporary road tests praised the model’s remarkable poise and handling. Writing in Motor Trend in 1956, Walt Woron compared the Lancia favorably with the contemporary Ferrari 250 GT and Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. Equally impressive was the Spider America’s breathtaking coachwork by Carrozzeria Pinin Farina. Its low, flowing lines, cut-down doors, split bumpers, and dramatic wraparound windscreen combined Italian elegance with subtle American influence. True to its sporting purpose, the design dispensed with conventional wind-up windows in favor of lightweight side curtains and a simple folding top.

Just 240 examples were built before the model evolved into the more civilized – and more common – B24 Convertible. Of these, only 181 were completed in left-hand-drive B24S configuration, making the Spider America among the most rare and coveted postwar Lancias.

The exceptional example offered here, chassis B24S-1021, was completed on May 16, 1955, finished in the striking period color scheme of Verde Acquamarina over green leather upholstery.

Delivered new to the US through famed New York importer Max Hoffman, the car remained in American ownership for decades, including long-term stewardship by Frank P. Anzuena of Glassboro, New Jersey, from 1960 to 1980.

During this period, Mr. Anzuena commissioned a removable hardtop from Carrozzeria Fontana, the coachbuilder originally contracted by Lancia to manufacture these rare and sought-after accessories.

In the early 1980s, the Spider America was acquired

by Italian collector Paolo Vento, son-in-law of noted industrialist Count Giovanni Treccani. During his ownership, the Aurelia was refinished in red to harmonize with the other cars in his collection. The Lancia remained in Italy thereafter and was acquired in 2017 by a private collector of sports and racing cars.

Prior to restoration, he submitted the Lancia to FCA Heritage in Torino for inspection and certification, where its matching-numbers components were documented, including the engine (no. 1080), steering box (no. 202), front axle (no. 30), and transaxle (no. 187).

One of the most significant American grand touring automobiles of the postwar era, the C-3 embodies Briggs Cunningham’s ambitious vision of creating an American-built car capable of competing with Europe’s finest sporting machines. Combining competition-derived Chrysler Hemi power with exquisite coachwork by Vignale of Torino, the C-3 remains among the rarest, most charismatic, and most exclusive automobiles of the 1950s.

As documented in Richard Harman’s book Cunningham: The Passion, The Cars, The Legacy, this Vignale C-3 Coupe, chassis 5211, was commissioned on October 19, 1951, with Works Order 19, and delivered new fitted with engine IND 20-1008, which it retains to this day. Its original owner was American automobile enthusiast William A.M. Burden Jr. The son of William Armistead Moale Burden and Florence Vanderbilt, William Burden Jr. was a philanthropist, collector of the finest art, and one-time ambassador to Belgium. The wealth management firm he founded, William A.M. Burden & Co., is acknowledged as one of the first to pioneer what we know today as a family office.

In the car world, Burden held a reputation for acquiring the finest automobiles. Burden Jr. was a patron of Mercedes-Benz throughout his life,

owning an SSK, 540K, 770K Grosser, and 600 Pullman, among others. His keen eye and passion for automotive engineering led him to work with Harry Miller on his early 1930s V-16 project.

Cunningham’s C-3 appealed to Burden Jr.’s tastes.

After its initial build, chassis 5211 followed the standard process of being shipped to Vignale in Italy on July 3, 1952, and returning with its completed bodywork in December that year. It is believed to have been built with a number of performance improvements, akin to the cars Briggs had run at Le Mans.

As with many of Burden Jr.’s cars, it had a black exterior, which accentuated the Vignale chrome bodywork trim and was contrasted with a red leather interior. The cabin is recorded to have featured supplementary non-standard instruments: an indicator arm on the steering column, Chrysler pistol grip handbrake handle, and a brass chassis number plaque to its dash.

Following Burden Jr.’s appreciative tenure, this Cunningham passed to Alfred Momo, the former team manager for Cunningham, and then to Laurence Leeds of New Jersey, who kept it until the early 1960s. In 1961, it passed to enthusiast

SELECTIONS FROM THE MULLIN COLLECTION

Highlights Among the Rarest and Most Desirable of All Bugatti Automobiles One of 10 Known Surviving Examples of the 19 Jean Bugatti Type 43A Roadsters Built Sold New to Racing Driver Count Czaycowski; Largely Untouched Since the 1960s A Part of The Mullin Collection for Nearly Two Decades Retains Matching-Numbers Lower Crankcase per Accompanying Factory Records

In 1927, the Bugatti factory was at the peak of its automobile production, with multiple lines to handle the demand for the various Type 35 Grand Prix models: the blown and unblown Type 37 Sports and GPs; the Type 38, Type 38A, Type 40 and 40A touring cars; and the Type 43 and Type 44 Grand Sport models.

It was during this period that Bugatti began manufacturing their own sports-touring bodies.

Prior to this point, completed chassis had to be delivered to coachbuilders in or near Western Europe. The first car outfitted with a Bugatti-built body was the four-cylinder Type 40 Grand Sport, followed by the Type 43.

The introduction of the Type 43 created a sensation. The first true sports car with a genuine 100 mph capability, the Type 43 coupled a slightly detuned Type 35B 2.3-liter supercharged Grand Prix engine with a shortened and “waisted” Type 38 touring chassis frame, contoured to the shape of the standard Grand Sport coachwork.

This achievement by Ettore Bugatti was considered a true masterpiece. Noted author and marque specialist H.G. Conway said of the Type 43, “it was the model to be aspired to in the 1927–1932 period

as a Ferrari may be today, as a road car with the qualities of its racing sister.”

In 1929, Bugatti introduced the Jean Bugattidesigned roadster for the late Type 40, 40A, and 43A. Bearing a strong resemblance to some of the roadsters then being built in the US, it led to speculation that the Type 43A Roadster was originally intended for the American market.

However, of the mere 19 examples built, only two went to the US prior to WWII. Several remained unsold at Molsheim, as sales slowed due to the economic uncertainty. Nevertheless, all of the Type 43s eventually found owners, with orders fulfilled as late as 1935.

According to The American Bugatti Register and Data Book by Sandy Leith and Kees Jansen, this example was constructed in November 1928. However, the completed car was not delivered to its first owner, Count Stanislas Czaykowski of Paris, until early 1930.

Born in Holland in 1899, Count Czaykowski was a Polish aristocrat who spent most of his life in Paris.

In 1929, he purchased a Type 37A and entered it in that year’s Comminges Grand Prix. Ct. Czaykowski would go on to own and campaign Bugatti Types 35B, 51, 54 and 55, among others, entering them in

By August 1932, chassis 43289 was sold to Marcel Dornel in Paris. Following a handful of French owners, this Type 43A was acquired by noted French Bugattist André Binda of Nice,

before passing to the chairman of Club Bugatti France, Marc Nicolosi, in 1987.

After 20 years of active use on club rallies and even at the Le Mans Classic in 2002 and 2006, Mr. Nicolosi sold 43289 to Peter Mullin in 2007.

The Mullin Museum in Oxnard, California, was opened in 2010, and for over a decade, this Type 43A was displayed in the loft alongside two grand prix Bugattis – a nod to its racederived underpinnings.

The “Quarante Cheveux,” or 40 HP, was the pinnacle of Renault’s broad range from its introduction in 1911 until the late 1920s. With its 9.1-liter six-cylinder engine and 17.5’ wheelbase, this majestic automobile maintained the brand’s stylistic hallmarks – including its brass-trimmed “coalscuttle” hood – only scaled to monumental proportions.

The Avions Voisin C3 Strasbourg (C3 S) was a significant improvement over the standard C3, with the inline four-cylinder engine positioned lower in the frame, leading to improved road handling.

Gabriel Voisin and his chief engineer, André Lefèbvre, fashioned the C3 Strasbourg’s narrow torpedo body with elongated and streamlined running boards that extended just enough to meet the minimum 1.30 meter width requirement. The C3 S debuted at the ACF’s Grand Prix de Tourisme in Strasbourg, where Voisin entered four Type C3 S cars. These were driven by Rougier, Duray, Gaudermon, and Piccioni, who finished in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th place, respectively. Following this success, Voisin took what he had learned from the C3 S and integrated it into the new C5 series.

Sadly, none of the original C3 S cars remain in existence today. This C3 S was created by Voisin enthusiast Philipp Moch using a C5 chassis frame and other factory components to replicate the lost car driven to victory at Strasbourg by Rougier.

Following completion, this Voisin was displayed by Mr. Moch at the 2006 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance® and driven on the Tour d’Elegance. The Mullin Collection acquired this Voisin in 2010, and it was regularly displayed in the museum’s loft alongside other significant Voisin production and racing cars. A faithful recreation of one of Voisin’s most significant cars, this C3 S offers a rare opportunity to acquire one of the defining designs of Gabriel Voisin’s early career.

1930 Bugatti Type 46 Convertible Coupe SELECTIONS FROM THE MULLIN COLLECTION

Highlights Rare Example of Sporting Coachwork on Luxurious Type 46 Chassis Original Coachwork and Retains MatchingNumbers Engine Known History from New; In Current Ownership for More than 25 years Concours Restoration Completed by Alan Taylor; Numerous Exhibitions A One of One Automobile

By the late 1920s, Bugatti had cemented itself among the most sophisticated and successful manufacturers of racing and road cars, competing for market share with Alfa Romeo, among others.

The ambitious, if ill-fated, Type 41 Royale was intended to showcase the company’s abilities and produce the world’s most luxurious road car; however, when the extraordinary cost of the Royale collided with the economic times of the era, Bugatti needed to shift to a more profitable and affordable option.

The Type 46 debuted for the 1929 model year as Bugatti’s largest production model to date. The Type 41, notwithstanding, the Type 46 was soon being referred to as “La Petite Royale.” The model’s 5.4-liter, SOHC straight-eight engine used three valves per cylinder and is often referred to as the last new Bugatti engine from the period – as later models used evolutions of earlier designs. Its three-speed manual gearbox was built in unit with the rear axle, and its impeccable road manners were due to the innate flexibility of the drivetrain.

Even in a recessionary economy, demand for the Type 46 was robust and roughly 450 examples were built through 1933. Most of the Type 46s left Bugatti’s Molsheim factory as bare frames, and no

$800,000–$1,200,000 Without Reserve Chassis No. 46360 Engine No. 227 Coachwork by de Villars

fewer than 45 coachbuilders are thought to have bodied the model in period.

The large-capacity engine and corresponding performance of the Type 46 led many buyers and coachbuilders to equip them with equally largescale, closed or formal bodywork, reflecting the fashion of the early 1930s. Against this backdrop, this spectacular Convertible Coupe is all the more important.

Chassis 46360 was built at the Molsheim Works in June 1930 to fulfill an order placed by the lesserknown Parisian agent Larrousé on June 16. It was dispatched to the French capital the following day.

Although infrequently referred to, Larrousé was an upper echelon dealer of the finest automobiles, and the Type 46 must have suited their clientele as the agency ordered some 32 chassis in all, representing 7% of total production. From Paris, the chassis would have been supplied to the boutique coachbuilder de Villars of the suburb Courbevoie.

De Villars was the brainchild of Frank Jay Gould, son of railroad magnate Jay Gould, who – recognizing his own appetite for special design and that of his friends – decided to create the house to supply them. Founded in 1925, Gould named the company after his son-in-law,

Roland de Graffenried de Villars. His belief turned out to be correct, with numerous clientele clothing luxury automobiles with their designs, including arguably one of the most beautiful cars of all time: the long-finned Delage D8-120 Roadster.

This de Villars Convertible Coupe is another typically well-proportioned and sporting design, with a low and raked windshield, a step rather than running boards, louvred panels covering the chassis sides, lightweight fenders, and the spares placed at the tail to leave the side panels uninterrupted.

Although the Bugatti ledgers do not record the car’s original owner, as the factory did not supply it directly to the buyer, Barrie Price’s reference work The Big Bugattis, notes that it was delivered to

Bugatti’s Athens agent, Mr. Conzous, suggesting that Larrousé transferred the car to the Greek distributor.

The de Villars Bugatti is known to have been owned

by Panos Harokopos from 1937 to 1940, a wealthy Greek socialite and later one-time husband of Melina Mercouri, the actress and politician. It is believed that Harokopos sold the car to Kriton Kangas circa 1940, after which it appears to have seen little road use from this period onwards.

Its next chapter is almost unfathomable in today’s era of instant communication. According to the story, Kangas advertised the Bugatti for sale in the Antique Automobile Club of America publication in

1962, but apparently without success. Nearly four decades later, in 1999, noted collector and one-time Co-Chairman of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance® Glenn Mounger came across the advertisement and chanced an approach, only to discover that Kangas still owned the car. Mounger quickly acquired the T46 and shipped it to the US. Acquired in ostensibly complete, but well-worn condition, the car subsequently passed through the hands of Ken McBride and Charles Morse, remaining unrestored before joining the Mullin Collection.

The Mullins entrusted Alan Taylor to return the de Villars Convertible to its former glory.

When Peter Mullin was unable to settle on an appropriate color scheme, his wife, Merle, selected the livery we see the car in today – a rich orange body complemented by lighter moldings and contrasting fenders and top. The striking de Villars Type 46 emerged from its refurbishment with a debut showing at Pebble Beach in 2003.

This striking Bugatti was always one of the most prominent features at the Mullin Automotive Museum in Oxnard, California. With its fascinating history and rakish sporting coachwork, this de Villars Type 46 is certain to remain a standout wherever it is shown.

Its striking, all-aluminum bodywork, referred to as tout alu, was designed and patented by automobile designer Jean de Vizcaya, and is thought to have been a show car for the marque.

The Talbot is believed to have been sold new through the Paris agent Weismann to the original owner, M. le Franc. Subsequent owners included

The marque originally manufactured cyclecars, before progressing to voiturettes, which provided an inexpensive, light, and economical sports car perfect for the sporting person of the 1920s.

As times became more austere toward the close of the decade, Amilcar modified their offerings and introduced a new series of light sedans marketed as the Model M. By 1931, the model had been updated to the M3, which featured the 1,244 cc fourcylinder, now in a slightly longer 105.3" wheelbase.

1928 Lorraine-Dietrich B3-6 15CV Sports Roadster SELECTIONS FROM THE MULLIN COLLECTION

by French Car Specialist Sargent Metal Works Multiple Concours Award Winner, Including Pebble Beach One of Two Known Survivors with H. de Corvaïa & Cie. Sports Roadster Coachwork Part of the Mullin Collection Since 2002

Founded in 1896 as an automotive branch of French locomotive manufacturer De Dietrich, Automobiles Lorraine-Dietrich will always be best known for its pioneering B3-6 model, which was powered by its 3.4-liter six-cylinder with pushrod overhead valves and secured the company back-to-back Le Mans victories in 1925 and 1926. It was a testament to the build quality and resilience over the arduous track and their competitors, as it would be a decade before a French car would win at home once more.

As for many manufacturers, the glory of racing wins translated into sales success, and Lorraine saw demand for copies of the race chassis through the late 1920s. This sturdy automobile was equipped with many different body styles, from large limousines and sedans to tapering torpedos reminiscent of the Le Mans winners; however, few can claim the sheer beauty of this example.

Built in 1928, the Lorraine’s frame is clothed with sporting roadster bodywork by the lesser-known Parisian firm H. de Corvaïa & Cie., which supplied coachwork to a number of French manufacturers, including Hotchkiss and Delage. In addition to building its own bodywork, the firm also provided designs executed by other coachbuilders, such as

$400,000–$600,000 Without Reserve Chassis No. 134167 Coachwork by H. de Corvaïa & Cie.

Pourtout – invariably they were particularly rakish in their stance. One of a pair of surviving Lorraines in this configuration, it features carryovers from the Le Mans cars, including the same racing instruments and engine modifications. Its low windshield, lack of running boards, light “helmet” fenders, and tail-mounted spare provide a dramatic and sinister appearance, not unlike American hot rods of the 1950s, but years ahead of its time.

This Lorraine’s early French history is sadly lost to time, but its tale picks up in 1968, when Chicagobased car collector Irv Silverman discovered the sports roadster while sleuthing for cars in the south of France. He shipped the car to the US and passed it on to Rik Christensen in 1972.

As the Mullin collection gathered momentum at the start of the 2000s, a variety of the more obscure French marques would join the collection’s Bugattis, Delages, and Hispano-Suizas; this was one such automobile acquired in 2002. The Lorraine underwent an extensive restoration by noted French car specialist and Pebble Beach Best of Show winner Sargent Metal Works, respecting its design aspects and detail features from which it emerged late in that decade.

Highlights The Second Production Model from Avions Voisin Striking Factory Limousine Coachwork Powered by a Knight Sleeve-Valve Engine Rare as One of About 15 Known Survivors An Attractive Entry Point into the Iconic French Brand

Notes Please note that this vehicle is titled as C3L1946.

Gabriel and Charles Voisin began building airplanes in 1908. Though Charles died in 1912, Gabriel continued building their company, Avions Voisin, which became a major producer of aircraft during WWI. Following the war, military needs subsided and Voisin’s interests shifted towards producing automobiles, though aviation remained a large influence in his designs. The first model was the C1 in 1919, and just two years later, the C3 was introduced, debuting at the Paris Motor Show in 1921.

The C3 differed from the C1 with the addition of front brakes as well as longitudinal leaf-spring suspension that replaced the cantilevered leaf springs of the outgoing model. The C3 was offered

in short and long wheelbases and only about 15 long-wheelbase examples, like the car offered here, are thought to survive today. The C3 was mostly offered with factory-built coachwork, though a few examples were entrusted to outside coachbuilders.

This striking C3 Limousine features factory Voisin coachwork finished in maroon with black fenders and is equipped with dual rear-mounted spare wheels and an external trunk. It would make an attractive entry point into the iconic French brand.

During the Mullin Collection’s ownership, the C3 has been featured in a Voisin exhibit at the Mullin Automotive Museum and was also displayed at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance.

Chassis 43284, a stock, supercharged Type 43, was completed at the Bugatti works in March 1928.

According to Bugatti historians, however, it remained at the factory for a further two years before being shipped as part of a trio of cars to the Paris Bugatti agent Mondan et Wilson.

Dr. Granoff entrusted Henri Novo to restore the car, with work carried out over the next several years. Perhaps reflecting its condition and for ease of the restoration, the engine was replaced with a Type 49 unit (no. L47, ex-49717) purchased directly from the Bugatti factory in 1959.

The car received its first road registration in Paris as “8005 RE” in May 1931. Although details of the original buyer remain unknown, a period photograph shows the Bugatti already wearing its sporting two-seater coachwork. Believed to have been penned at the factory, it is a particularly interesting design and clearly can be seen as part of the journey to its successor, the Type 55 and its Super Sport roadster bodies.

The history file includes a series of letters documenting Dr. Granoff’s correspondence with the factory concerning a variety of technical topics and the acquisition of necessary mechanical spare parts. At Dr. Granoff’s request, the Bugatti was also fitted with hydraulic brakes and wire wheels.

The first documented private owner of the car appears in 1936, when it passed to Monsieur Ferry of Paris. Ferry retained the Type 43 throughout WWII and was still listed as its owner in 1948. The Bugatti remained unregistered for road use over the next decade, eventually resurfacing in a junkyard, where it was discovered by Dr. W. Granoff in the Paris suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine. The discovery confirmed that the car had remained in the Paris area for most of its early life.

Dr. Granoff kept the Bugatti for the rest of his life, after which it was acquired from his estate by Daniel Rogwiler in the early 1960s. Enjoyed

by Mr. Rogwiler for many years, the Bugatti was next sold to noted European marque specialists Bruno Vendiesse and Jaap Braam Ruben in the early 2000s, and then acquired by the Mullin Collection in 2006.

More recently, the Bugatti was returned to the correct Type 43 cast-alloy wheels and their corresponding cable brakes, with work carried out by expert Simon Klopper of the Netherlands.

A testament to the far reach of the company at that point, this T5 Roadster was sold new to Australia, where it was shipped to Mr. Manalac of Melbourne and bodied with coachwork by Coffey Brothers of Richmond, Victoria.

Its second owner is believed to have been Alf Fairfax of Sydney, who raced the car before selling it in 1929 to garagiste Maurice Gascoigne of Bexley, New South Wales. Gascoigne laid the car up from 1931 to 1954, and then returned it to the road and used it regularly until his death 20 years later.

After passing through several collectors during the active UK market of the 1980s, and receiving the refurbishment it wears today, the Chenard was acquired by a passionate Francophile, Abraham Kogan, circa 1992. Of like minds in their car tastes, the Chenard was snapped up by Mr. Mullin in 2004, residing as part of his collection ever since.

A new formula was established for the 1922 Grand Prix season that permitted a maximum engine capacity of 2 liters and a minimum weight of 650 kg. Based on this, Gabriel Voisin and his Chief Engineer, André Lefèbvre, developed the C6 Course in just six months – determined to conquer the ACF Grand Prix. The C6 was a radical new design that drew heavily upon aviation in both its design and construction. Their idea was to create “a double wedge-shaped” aerofoil offering a negative angle of attack, making the car “adhere to the road by down force,” as Lefèbvre later wrote.

To reduce the car’s weight, they abandoned the technique of a body shell set on a structural chassis.

Instead, they formed thin-gauge aluminum sheets

around a wood frame reinforced with lateral steel tubes to create a stressed-skin body or monocoque structure – an innovation that was decades ahead of its time. In recognition of its experimental character and abundant technical innovations, the C6 Course became known as the Laboratoire (Laboratory). Laboratoires competed at the ACF Grand Prix at Tours, Monza, and Gaillon hill climb, but their highest place finish was 5th.

In 1992, Philipp Moch recreated this Laboratoire and later displayed the car at the 1995 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance®. The C6 was purchased by the Mullin Collection in 2009 and displayed in the Mullin Automotive Museum for over a decade.

Peugeot was the first French manufacturer to build a series of production automobiles in the early 1890s.

From that point to the development of its twinoverhead camshaft Grand Prix cars just before WWI, the company offered a broad range of high-quality automobiles. The Type 134 was a single-year model for 1910, powered by a 4.7-liter four-cylinder engine with a four-speed gearbox with shaft-drive. A mere 16 examples are listed as built.

The known history of this Peugeot includes a small feature article in the Horseless Carriage Gazette in 1968, showing the car in both unrestored and restored form while owned by Fernando Ariza of

Mexico City, Mexico. All the cars in the article, including a Lion-Peugeot, Hispano-Suiza, and Panhard-Levassor 50 hp racer, appear to have passed to the Petersen Automotive Museum before being offered at a Christie’s auction in June 2000.

By then, the Type 134 Peugeot was clearly in need of further restoration work and was missing some of its interior.

From 1931 to 1939 Ettore Bugatti evolved a range of different grand prix cars in his continuous search for more power and speed to try and offset the rising might of the Italian Maserati and Alfa Romeo teams and the ultimately dominating German governmentaided Mercedes-Benz and Auto Unions.

The Type 35B had proven to be all-conquering in the late 1920s, and its replacement, the Type 51, was competitive in tight closed-circuit racing such as Monaco, but lacked straight-line speed on the more open and faster circuits of Europe. His efforts to deal with this opposition resulted in a few special-engined cars, all of which were in the concept and pedigree of the original Type 35. The most brutish and powerful of them all was the Type 54, which used the eight-cylinder 4.9-liter Type 50 touring car engine of the configuration used in the 1931 Le Mans team cars.

This first of the twin overhead camshaft designs with its alloy crank case and cylinder head had a compression ratio of 6:1 and a large Roots-type supercharger linked to two Zenith carburetors. The engine produced 300 bhp at 4,500 rpm, making it the most powerful Bugatti at the time. The chassis was a developed Type 45 16-cylinder frame which was subsequently used for the production Type 55

model and had similar cast-alloy wheels of the Type 51, but with larger brake drums. The general layout and style was similar to the Type 51 race car, but larger and heavier. It was extremely fast and very powerful, but proved to be difficult to handle.

The first outing was the Italian Grand Prix at Monza in 1931 with Chiron and Varzi, who finished 3rd. As a result of extreme handling problems, the engine was relocated and the cars were completely rebuilt, with the first five customer cars being delivered in time for the 1932 season.

The first chassis, 54201, was delivered to Swiss agent Bucar in Zurich, for the Czechoslovakian driver Prince Christian Lobkowitz. Tragically, Prince Lobkowitz was killed at the Avus circuit when he crashed his Type 54 in April 1932. Following the crash, the prince’s friend, Zdenek Pohl, acquired the wrecked Type 54 and commissioned Oldrich Uhlik to construct a strikingly handsome roadster body in steel with an aluminum bonnet for the racing car.

According to The American Bugatti Register and Data Book by Sandy Leith and Kees Jansen, the example offered here was built from components sourced from Bugatti parts collections. These include its Type 55 chassis frame, no. 33, which

shares the same wheelbase dimensions as a Type 54, its engine, no. 1, which originated in a Type 50, and its coachwork which is the aforementioned Uhlik-constructed roadster body from 1932.

The project was completed in the early 1990s by Michael Giddins of Robin Engineering in Sonoma, California for then-owner Skip Berg. Following its completion, the Type 54 was awarded the Chairman’s Cup at the 1991 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance® and was granted chassis no. BC70 by the Bugatti Owners Club. It also received Best of Show honors at the Newport Beach Concours d’Elegance.

The Mullin Collection acquired this Bugatti at the Christie’s Pebble Beach Auction in 1992 and regularly used it on club rallies. With its striking Roadster coachwork, grand prix-style dashboard, dual spares, external oil filler, and supercharged dual overhead cam inline eight-cylinder engine, this Type 54 is sure to provide its next owner with enjoyment whether on a concours field or club rally.

1958 Porsche 550A Spyder

Highlights

As Porsche’s initial dedicated competition model, the 550 Spyder was an unqualified success and a legendary performer. In both factory and privateer hands, the 550 and its successors would dominate small-displacement international sports car competition for nearly a decade and could even challenge for overall victory against much more powerful machinery from Ferrari, Maserati, and others.

Successfully Campaigned New by Austrian Composer, Pianist, and Privateer Racer Ernst Vogel Helped Secure the 1958 Austrian 1.5-Liter Sports Car Championship and Established Multiple Top Speed Records One of Just 40 Examples Produced, Featuring Significant Improvements over the 550 Spyder Documented Mechanical Rebuild by Renowned Four-Cam Specialist Bill Doyle Owned and Researched for Nearly 40 Years by Devoted Porsche Collector Steve Terrien Accompanied by Tool Kit, Jack, Spare, Roll Bar, Invoices, Correspondence, and Photographs

Never resting on its laurels, Porsche redesigned the 550, replacing the model with the 550A in 1956. Various changes greatly enhanced its drivability, including a change to a space-frame design, a first for Porsche. Its body shape was also modified, and the spare tire and wheel were moved to the front trunk for better weight distribution. Importantly, the rear suspension now used trailing arms instead of swing axles, giving the car greater stability. Still powered by Ernst Fuhrmann’s marvelous four-cam, flat four-cylinder engine, the results were remarkable, and the 550A is widely regarded as one of the easiest-to-drive and most forgiving of Porsche’s racing spyders. It was called “the greatest long-distance racer in the world” by legendary racer Ken Miles, who had significant time behind the wheel of a 550A.

Completed on March 3, 1958, this example, chassis 550A-0141, is among the final 550A Spyders constructed, and has a fascinating competition history. Delivered through Porsche Salzburg, it was acquired new by Austrian composer, concert pianist, and accomplished driver Ernst Vogel, one of Austria’s foremost Porsche privateer racers during the 1950s. Already well known for his success behind the wheel of a 550 Spyder, Vogel naturally elected to upgrade to Porsche’s latest machinery in the form of this 550A. During the 1958 season, Vogel established 0141 as one of the region’s most successful competition cars. Among its finest achievements was an outright victory at the Opatija Grand Prix in Yugoslavia, where the nimble Porsche demonstrated its brilliance against substantially more powerful machinery. Vogel also captured class victories at Zeltweg and Innsbruck in Austria, helping him secure the 1958 Austrian Championship for 1.5-Liter Sports Cars.

In addition to his racing, Vogel also embarked on a speed record attempt in 0141 on a closed section of motorway near the German-Austrian border in November 1958. He recorded an average speed of 218.182 kph (135.27 mph) based on a flying-start

Following its remarkable European campaign, chassis 0141 returned to Porsche KG in Stuttgart, where it was reportedly refurbished before being exported to the US. There it was owned and campaigned by noted Porsche dealer and

accomplished racer Harry Blanchard, one of the earliest and most influential Porsche privateers in America. Blanchard successfully campaigned the Spyder in Sports Car Club of America competition, further adding to its impressive racing résumé.

The Porsche reportedly next passed through the hands of respected Porsche dealer Chuck Stoddard before being acquired by enthusiast Joel Neshkin, who continued to race the Spyder in vintage competition. While Neshkin was piloting 0141 in a race at Road Atlanta, he was hit by a Corvette and

The fire caused sufficient damage that 0141’s front bodywork had to be discarded. However, Neshkin continued to race the car, albeit now with a fiberglass Devin body.

Longtime Porsche four-cam enthusiast Steve Terrien of Issaquah, Washington, acquired the Spyder nearly 40 years ago via four-cam expert Jim Wellington at Rennsport Werke of California in 1986, and served as an exceptionally dedicated steward of this historically important machine. The Porsche’s current aluminum body was recreated by the renowned Kimmins Brothers of Arizona, using a wooden buck they made from chassis 550A-0135. The same buck was reportedly later employed in the reconstruction of a body for 550A-0129, now part of the Porsche Museum collection, according to documents on file. Terrien was so pleased with the results that he left the car in polished aluminum for decades to showcase the Kimmins Brothers’ work.

Among the most significant restoration work undertaken during Terrien’s ownership was a mechanical rebuild, including of the car’s transaxle

and four-cam engine, by renowned Porsche specialist Bill Doyle around the year 2000. This work is documented by invoices and detailed records on file. The Spyder’s engine is stamped with number P90-108.

In the last year, the Porsche was painted in its original metallic silver shade by a Seattle-based specialist and was fitted with beige upholstery sourced from Germany, the same color in which it was originally specified. The experts at Griot’s Motors of Seattle then took great care to recreate the Spyder’s 1958 competition appearance, including expertly hand-painted race numbers in One-Shot sign paint, matching those visible in its period competition photographs. Complementing this presentation is a beautifully executed, European-style front license plate, created using CAD design to replicate the distinctive plate worn by the Spyder during its Austrian competition career. The result is an evocative presentation that honors one of the defining periods in the car’s life.

Adding to the Porsche’s appeal is an archive of period photographs that capture chassis 0141 during its racing career, and the car is further documented by mechanical invoices, records, and correspondence.

Few automobiles embody Porsche’s formative years as completely as the 550A Spyder. The model helped establish the engineering philosophy that would propel Porsche to international dominance in sports car racing for decades to follow. Chassis 0141 represents that legacy at its very best: one of the final 550As built, raced successfully by one of Austria’s leading Porsche privateers, campaigned by an important American Porsche pioneer, and

cherished by Steve Terrien for nearly four decades.

Sadly, Mr. Terrien passed away in 2025 and the car is offered today by his family.

The 102-Series 2000 Spider marked yet another open Alfa Romeo grand touring car reminiscent of its elegant prewar cabriolets. Bodied by Carrozzeria Touring, the Spider’s clean, minimally adorned coachwork has aged exceptionally well alongside contemporaries such as the Maserati 3500 and Lancia Flaminia. The tipo 102 engine is an evolution of the cast-iron block, inline four-cylinder of the 1900-Series cars. Renowned for its reliability, the engine featured twin Solex carburetors and a more modern valve train, making a sprightly 115 hp.

Coupled with a five-speed synchromesh gearbox and relaxed highway gearing, the 2000 Spider excelled at long-distance touring in comfort and style. More than 3,400 examples were built before production ended in 1962.

According to one account, this Alfa Romeo Spider was completed in early 1959, and first delivered via Hoffman Motor Car Company on New York City’s Park Avenue. A three-year cosmetic and mechanical restoration is said to have commenced in 2013, including a bare-metal repaint in Grigio Biacca (Chalk Gray), a retrim of the interior, and restoration of the brightwork. Mechanically, the engine, gearbox, suspension, and braking systems all reportedly received thorough refurbishment.

Beautiful from any angle and comfortable on longer adventures, these Touring-bodied Spiders are a distinctive entry into any show or driving event, and the example presented here is a handsome thoroughbred that can be enjoyed by any new or seasoned Alfa Romeo enthusiast.

1934 Cadillac V-16 Series 452D Town Sedan

Highlights

Cadillac ushered in the multicylinder rivalry with its 16-cylinder model in 1930. By 1934, significant mechanical and styling improvements had been made, however a mere 56 examples of the 452D series were built across the myriad body styles offered that year.

Later, 5100024, having returned to the US, came into the ownership of a respected East Coast-based collector who had sourced an original 1934 Town Sedan body from a V-8 example and installed it on this car’s chassis.

Pontoon fenders blended smoothly with the body, and integration of exterior components such as Art Deco-style biplane bumpers, and single-blade wheel center caps contributed to a contemporary design that evoked quiet luxury within a commanding presence.

In 2016, the current owner, a recognized authority in the restoration of V-16 Cadillacs with numerous Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance® wins to his credit, acquired the V-16. A longtime devotee of Cadillac’s 1934 model year, and the seldom-seen Town Sedan – of which none of the sleek, flat-windshield examples were built on the V-16 chassis for 1934 – he commenced a no-expense-spared, concourslevel, nine-year restoration of the grand Cadillac.

Bentley’s prewar dominance of Le Mans culminated with successive wins in 1929 and 1930 by “Old Number 1,” a Speed Six tourer driven to victory by Woolf Barnato, Henry Birkin, and Glen Kidston.

Based on the six-cylinder 6 ½-Litre model, the Speed Six had made its debut at London’s Olympia Motor Show in October 1928, featuring increased horsepower from 147 to 180. Just 182 examples were built, and while most were equipped with saloon bodies, many have since been updated with more sporting coachwork, paying homage to the cars that were so successful at Le Mans. Offered here is one such example, employing at its heart an original Speed Six engine.

This example’s engine, no. LB2340S, was originally fitted to Speed Six chassis LB2334 with Victor Broom saloon coachwork, delivered in March 1929 to Dennis Cohen of England. According to renowned Bentley historian Dr. Clare Hay, the car had several subsequent UK-based owners until it was “believed broken up, parts built into other cars.”

The Speed Six’s engine, LB2340S, was ultimately placed in a replacement chassis numbered RC2898, sourced by UK-based marque specialist Julian Ghosh of Green Farm Racing and registered with

the Bentley Drivers Club. This combination of engine and frame was acquired by the current owner in 2016, who recognized it as a worthy candidate for the creation of a Speed Six with Le Mans Sports Tourer coachwork in the style of Vanden Plas.

Vintage Bentley authority David Ayre was commissioned to recreate the coachwork, which he based on ash frame construction, with correct Rexine fabric used for the body and the right-hand beltline cut down for the driver’s easy access. The mechanicals were also restored by Ayre, including an engine rebuild, and the completed product was delivered to the consignor, a longtime British sports car enthusiast, in 2019.

Presented in traditional British Racing Green, the car features details such as Rudge-Whitworth spoke wheels, cycle fenders, a fold-down windshield with individual wind screens, and stone guards for both the radiator and headlamps. The details highlight the high-level build of this example, and its interior is resplendent with green upholstery and a Jaeger tachometer prominently featured on the dashboard.

1958 Porsche 356 A Speedster The brainchild of Max Hoffman, the legendary American distributor for Porsche, the Porsche 356 Speedster was conceived specifically for the US market and purpose-built to compete with inexpensive English sports cars from MG, Austin-Healey, and Triumph.

Debuted in 1954 with a base price of $2,995, the Speedster quickly became a club-racing contender upon its introduction, as well as a sales success. Its purposeful design and nimble handling made it a favorite among enthusiasts and amateur racers alike.

Stripped of extraneous items to save cost and weight, the Speedster featured modified bodywork, a removable windshield, lightweight bucket seats, and a rudimentary folding top with side curtains.

A June 1956 road test by Car and Driver praised the revised 356 A Speedster, which ushered in numerous stylistic and mechanical changes. “The new Porsche 1600 is one of the world’s truly fine cars,” the magazine stated.

One of a mere 552 built for the 1958 model year, this Porsche 356 A Speedster is a US-specification model supplied new in January of that year to its first owner, Theodore Nix of Sharon, Connecticut, through Porsche’s European Delivery Program.

In August 1987, Ernest Groves of Framingham, Massachusetts, became the third owner of this car.

Mr. Groves, a former national secretary of the Porsche Club of America, commissioned a local specialist to perform an extensive restoration of the Speedster. The work, conducted between 1989 and 1992, included a bare-metal repaint in its current color of Elfenbein (DB 608), a MercedesBenz shade of slightly deeper and richer ivory.

Other DB4 technical highlights included twin SU carburetors, fully synchronized David Brown gearbox, rack and pinion steering, and disc brakes.

This stunning Anglo-Italian collaboration is perhaps best known for the model’s prominent appearance in the movie The Italian Job (1969), as the wheels for Michael Caine’s charming thief Charlie Croker. Its elegance is beautifully summarized in the film by Mafia boss Altibani, who dubs it a “pretty car” before pushing it over a ravine.

Over the course of its production run, the model evolved based on clientele feedback and changing fashions, with incremental increases to the

wheelbase and a series of technical and stylistic refinements, categorized into five series. From 1963, an elegant Convertible was offered on Series IV and V cars and incorporating their corresponding design updates. The convertibles were built in extremely limited numbers, with just 70 examples completed in total. These comprised 30 Series IV and 40 Series V cars, of which only 24 were configured in left-hand-drive. It is believed that just a dozen were delivered new to the US. Reportedly built for exhibition at the New York International Auto Show, chassis DB4C/1083/L may be the most prominent and best-specified example to leave the Newport Pagnell Works.

Then, as now, it was common practice to “fully load” show cars, and DB4C/1083/L was no exception. As new, the Aston’s hood opened to reveal highly polished special engine covers, chrome linkages, and painted SU carburetors. On the technical side, it boasted the four-speed with overdrive transmission, chrome wire wheels, and an oil cooler. This stunning show car wore Desert White paint with a contrasting Connolly blue leather interior.

1924 Hispano-Suiza H6B Dual-Cowl Phaeton The Roaring Twenties were in full swing when Peggy Guggenheim received this Hispano-Suiza H6B as a gift for her 25th birthday. Fitted with a limousine body by the Parisian firm Kellner, the Hispano was frequently used by Guggenheim and her husband, Laurence Vail, including on a voyage during which they “put the Hispano on a boat at Marseilles and disembarked at Algiers.” Unfortunately, their marriage did not last long, with Vail receiving the H6B in their divorce and retaining it until 1932.

The car reappeared in Switzerland in 1934 at Carrosserie Graber, where it was fitted with a striking LeBaron Sweep-Panel Dual-Cowl Phaeton body reportedly sourced from a Duesenberg Model J.

Upon acquiring the car, Peck painted it red and black and, interestingly, added a maple leaf motif to each rear door. The Hispano remained in Peck’s care until 1948 and was acquired by the consignor’s family in 1949, with whom it has remained ever since.

by Long-Term Ferrari Collector US-Delivered Example with Power Windows and Air-Conditioning; Documented with Photos and Records Matching-Numbers Engine and Gearbox per Accompanying Matthias Bartz Report

Notes Please note that this vehicle is titled as 246GTS08466.

Born from the visionary mind of Enzo Ferrari himself and named in loving memory of his son Alfredo “Dino” Ferrari, the Dino marked Ferrari’s entry into the mid-engine sports car segment.

Originally unveiled in 1967 as the 206 GT, the Dino was continuously improved and updated throughout its production run, resulting in the updated 2.4-liter 246 GT and targa-top 246 GTS. Consistently ranked among the most beautiful and engaging automobiles ever conceived, the Dino was an inspired product of Ferrari’s highly successful V-6 engine development program of the 1950s and 1960s. The two-liter 206 GT and 2.4-liter 246 GT/ GTS road cars, together with their Fiat Coupe and Spider counterparts, enabled Scuderia Ferrari to meet the FISA-mandated 500-car production requirement to homologate the Dino V-6 engine for Formula 2 competition beginning in 1967.

This original US-delivery 246 GTS, chassis 08466, was imported new through Chinetti Garthwaite and finished from the factory in striking Blu Chiaro Metallizzato (Light Blue Metallic) over a Nuvola (Cloud) light blue leather interior, per its accompanying report by model expert Matthias Bartz. The Ferrari was owned by a series of American collectors before being offered at

Christie’s Pebble Beach auction in 2000, where the 24,240 miles shown were noted as being believed original from new.

The consignor purchased the car in 2001 from a Long Island dealer with 24,315 miles on the odometer, and it has remained in his stable ever since. An avid vintage racer and Ferrari collector, the consignor has had Ferrari specialists maintain and refresh it as needed, documented by more than 40 pages of records and extensive photos on file. This work included a rebuild of the engine, suspension, and gearbox, among other mechanical items.

The current owner reports that he had the leather on the seats replaced, but that the mousehair dash and carpets were never replaced in his ownership and he believes they may be original. Showing less than 33,000 miles when catalogued, this is an outstanding example of a 246 GTS in extremely desirable colors that has never required a full restoration and has instead been sympathetically maintained.

Fitting for an example of this quality, the Dino is accompanied by its manuals inside their folio as well as a tool kit and jack, along with other accessories.

With its rare color combination, extensive documentation, and timeless Pininfarina styling,

this is a particularly appealing Dino that would impress even the most seasoned Ferrari collector.

The Ferrari has been cared for by a knowledgeable enthusiast for the last 25 years, remaining a beloved part of his impressive collection of sports and racing cars. The Dino’s Blu Chiaro Metallizzato

Uprated with MX-Series Engine and Marles Steering Box Concours Restoration Completed by Tired Iron Works Exhibited at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance® in 2003 and 2014 (Third in Class) In Present Ownership Since 1972

1937 Bentley 4¼ Litre Roadster Few automobiles better embody the ideal of the sporting British grand tourer than the Derby Bentley. The 4 ¼ Litre paired refined six-cylinder performance with a robust chassis capable of accommodating a wide variety of bespoke coachwork, encouraging close collaboration between Bentley and many of Britain’s premier coachbuilders. Bentley and Vanden Plas enjoyed a close working relationship that spanned both the Vintage years and the Derby eras. The Bentley 4 ¼ Litre Roadster is wonderful evidence of this: a rakish example of the “silent sportscar” with near perfect proportions, a low-profile windshield, and a discreet rumble seat. A mere trio of Bentleys were equipped in this fashion, and B42KT was the last to be constructed.

This Roadster was sold through Jack Barclay to Mr. S.B. White of Camberwell in London, and registered for the road with the distinctive plate “DYN 4” in July 1937. Within a year, at 10,000 miles, the car was offered for resale by Jack Barclay, described as: “A special two-seater Roadster [...] The car is beautifully equipped and has very attractive lines.” Its second owner was the prominent British artist Edward Le Bas, who kept the car through the war years. Subsequent UK owners were A. Dormer in 1947, Brooklands of Bond Street in May 1949 – being

sold again via Barclays with 34,000 miles – and H.M. Moffat in August 1950.

By 1966, the Bentley had arrived in the US. Advertised in the Flying Lady publication for $12,500, the buyer was reportedly David Thornton of Los Angeles. Noted West Coast collector Barry Hon acquired the Bentley in 1972. During an initial refurbishing, the car’s performance and driveability were enhanced by the fitting of a later MX-Series engine (no. S8BG, ex-B153MX) and that model’s preferred Marles steering box. In the late 1990s, Mr. Hon commissioned a more extensive refurbishment, carried out by Chris Kidd of Tired Iron Works in Monrovia, California.

Mr. Hon was so impressed with the result that it was promptly shipped to the UK to compete in the high-profile British Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club Annual Rally and Concours d’Elegance in 2002, where it garnered a Second in Class award. The following year, it was shown at Pebble Beach, where it was honored with a First in Class. A decade later, on a return outing at Pebble, it was again lauded with a Third in Class. In between, the Roadster was shown at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in 2004. Through a lifetime of car collecting, and having owned and dispersed a stable that included

Highlights An Exciting Find; Not Publicly Exhibited for over Four Decades Owned New by Italian Ferrari Privateer Racing Driver Pietro Ferraro Originally Finished in Attractive Grigio Fumo with Red Leather Interior Exceptional Provenance; Owned by One Southern California-Based Family Since 1981 Documented by Historian Marcel Massini; Retains Matching Chassis and Engine Numbers Accompanied by Books, Tool Kit, and Records Dating Back to 1978

Notes Please note that this vehicle has been in long-term static storage and is not currently operational. It will require mechanical attention prior to road use.

Introduced at the Paris Motor Show in October 1964, the Ferrari 275 was the replacement for the long-running 250 series. The new model featured a 3.3-liter tipo 213 V-12 engine which produced 20 more horsepower than the outgoing 3-liter. Power was sent to the rear wheels through a rearmounted, five-speed transaxle, giving the car a near 50:50 weight distribution. The 275 was offered in both berlinetta and spider body styles, and much like the earlier 250 SWB Berlinetta and California Spider, the two designs differed greatly but shared the same mechanical underpinnings. Just 200 examples of the Pininfarina-bodied 275 GTS spider were built through early 1966, making the model considerably rarer than its berlinetta counterpart – of which 450 were built.

Completed in March 1966 and finished in Grigio Fumo (Smoke Gray, Italver 18944) over red Connolly leather upholstery and red carpets, chassis 07929 was one of just three such examples built in this elegant color scheme, according to research compiled by Ferrari historian Marcel Massini.

The car’s first owner was Cartiere del Timavo S.p.A., a paper manufacturing company owned by Pietro Ferraro of Trieste, Italy. Mr. Ferraro was a stalwart

privateer Ferrari racer whose stable included no less than seven competition Ferraris throughout the late 1950s and 1960s, including a 250 Tour de France, 250 SWB Competizione, 250 GTO (in which he finished 4th in the 1962 Targa Florio), 330 GTO, 330 LMB, and a 275 GTB Competizione Speciale.

Ferraro retained the 275 GTS until December 1969, when it was exported to California by Milan-based dealer Dino Armando Genghini. There, it was acquired by Cupertino resident James W. Miller, and by 1976, the car had been sold to real estate developer and Ferrari of Los Gatos co-founder Richard Rivoir. A copy of a period photo on file shows the 275 GTS parked in front of the Ferrari of Los Gatos showroom, fitted with cast-alloy wheels and finished in red with the distinctive, blackpainted side vents it retains today.

The current owner acquired this 275 GTS from William Brand of Palo Alto, California, in 1981, and since that time the car has resided with one Southern California family. The Ferrari was initially registered in February of that year on blue California license plates reading “GIDDAP” (short for “giddy-up”) and later that October received the “66 GTS” plate, which remains affixed to the car today. In August 1984, the GTS was displayed

at the International Ferrari Concours in Monterey, California. In the early 1990s, the owner reportedly entrusted Tillack & Co. of Redondo Beach to remove and rebuild the car’s matchingnumbers engine and five-speed transaxle.

Following completion of the work, the engine and transaxle were stored alongside the car in the owner’s garage until discovery by the Gooding Christie’s team in early 2026.

In preparation for the sale, the GTS was carefully assembled, ensuring original hardware was used wherever possible and that no original finishes were disturbed. The final digits of the Pininfarina body number (166) were noted to be visible, written in chalk on the backsides of the original door panels.

At the time of cataloguing, the car’s odometer showed just 83,353 km (51,793 miles).

Never fully restored, 07929 still retains its original red Connolly leather interior and carpets and a period Voxson radio. Included in the sale is a report

by Ferrari historian Marcel Massini, which confirms the original Pininfarina body number (175166), as well as books, a tool kit, and records dating back to 1978. Just 200 examples of the 275 GTS were built

and of these, a precious few retain the level of originality of this remarkable machine.

An ideal candidate for a continued mechanical recommissioning or a sympathetic restoration to return the car to its original Grigio Fumo livery, this Ferrari is surely among the last unrestored examples of its type to be found. Never before offered at auction and unknown to the Ferrari world for decades, this car represents a fresh, exciting opportunity to acquire a truly distinctive 275 GTS.

1967 Maserati Mistral 4000 Spyder From its beginnings, Maserati’s road cars have been characterized by their thoroughbred engineering and contemporary styling. The Mistral Spyder is a particularly successful example of this approach to building sports cars, as it combines the competition-derived twin-plug DOHC straight six with a masterful Pietro Frua design, executed by Carrozzeria Maggiora of Turin. The successor to the popular 3500 GT, the Maserati Mistral was produced in relatively limited numbers, with 828 examples of the two-seater coupe built. Far more exclusive was the Spyder model, of which just 120 were built during the model’s eight-year run.

This Mistral 4000 Spyder was completed on March 17, 1967, finished in Bianco Polo Park (Polo Park White) over a red Connolly leather interior, according to a copy of the car’s factory order sheet on file. Additional factory options included a removable hardtop, ZF five-speed manual gearbox, limited-slip differential, Borrani wire wheels, and air-conditioning.

This Spyder is believed to have been sold new through Maserati dealer Martinelli & Sonvico of Lugano, Switzerland, to noted Swiss-American architect Otto Kolb of Chiasso. Little is known about Mr. Kolb’s ownership, but by the late 1960s

the Mistral Spyder was acquired by Swiss Maserati enthusiast and author Rob de la Rive Box. Mr. Box later featured the white Spyder in his 1984 book Illustrated Maserati Buyers Guide. A decal from Mr. Box’s ownership can still be found on the car’s windshield.

In the mid-1970s, Mr. Box sold the Spyder to British Maserati enthusiast Michael Miles, who drove the Mistral, along with his 5000 GT, extensively throughout England and Europe. The Spyder made its way to America circa 1978, when it was purchased by famed car dealer Bob Grossman of West Nyack, New York. A copy of a photo on file shows the white Spider with a hardtop and a metal “CH” badge at Grossman’s facility.

After briefly entering the ownership of Stephen Frair of Atlanta, the Spyder was acquired by Bill Lemasters of California who, upon purchasing the car, flew to Atlanta in October 1979, and drove the Mistral all the way back to California. It was during Mr. Lemaster’s ownership that the current black paint was applied.

In August 1988, the Maserati was acquired by the noted car collector Ron Tonkin of Portland, Oregon.

By this time, the interior had been retrimmed in tan leather. Mr. Tonkin and his family retained the Maserati as part of his impressive collection of Italian

The consignor, a lifelong Maserati enthusiast and owner of multiple Mistrals, acquired the car from Tonkin’s estate and entrusted Norbert Hofer of Gran Touring Classics in Long Beach, California, to recondition the car’s fuel and braking systems at a reported cost of $35,000.

At some point in the car’s history, its original engine, no. AM109.SA1.665, was replaced by another 4.0-liter engine, no. AM109.A1.1140, which is currently installed. The consignor located the

car’s matching-numbers engine block in Germany, and it accompanies the sale. This Spyder retains important original details, including its factoryinstalled air-conditioning, removable hardtop, and original data tags.

1957 Jaguar XK140 SE Drophead Coupe

Highlights

The XK140 was launched in 1954 as Jaguar’s top sporting offering, with increased power and interior space over the XK120. The drophead coupe was the elite model, featuring a beautiful wooden dash, sumptuous leather upholstery, and roll-up windows with a substantial, insulated convertible top.

According to its California-based consignor, this handsome Jaguar was purchased from its second owner in 2003, and before long it was entrusted to the noted Jaguar specialists XKs Unlimited for an extensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration. The work included refinishing the coachwork in its attractive maroon metallic, complemented by a retrim in biscuit leather and a fully lined brown canvas top. Brightwork was replated and the veneered dashboard and door caps were expertly revarnished.

1970 Pontiac Firebird One

Highlights

Conceived as a vision of the Firebird decades ahead of its time, this one-off prototype began life as a stock 1970 Pontiac Firebird. Over four years, GM Technical Designer Dave Crook transformed the vision into a reality, working from drawings by Harry Bentley Bradley, the GM stylist behind the Dodge Deora and the Hot Wheels line. Crook faithfully translated Bradley’s sketches into an impressive and influential form: a dramatically lowered body, skirted rear wheels, six hood scoops, and an aerodynamically studied nose that hinted at the look GM’s performance cars would later adopt.

even the glass was genuine safety glass, not the usual show-car acrylic. Power came from a 350 cid Pontiac V-8 and automatic gearbox, and unlike most concepts of the period, this one was engineered to be road-going.

Vice President of Styling Bill Mitchell was reportedly so taken with the result that there was talk of adopting the One as an official GM display car. However, shifting industry priorities toward efficiency and safety intervened. Accompanied by its original development file and Bradley’s sketches, this Firebird One remains the only example built – a rare survivor of GM’s design ambition that will make a stunningly unique addition to any collection.

1929 Ford Model A Hot Rod

Highlights

In the 1920s and 1930s, young motoring enthusiasts transformed their cars into faster, more stylish machines, giving rise to the hot rod movement.

Brothers Frank and Manny Betes of Hawthorne, California, were among its early participants, and during the winter of 1939–1940, they rebuilt their 1929 Ford Model A into a proper hot rod. The body was mounted on now-iconic 1932 Ford “Deuce” frame rails and fitted with a Ford Model B block – enhanced with a Riley cylinder head, Winfield camshaft and carburetors, and Mallory ignition.

achievement remain in place today. With the outbreak of WWII, racing ceased, and Manny enlisted with the Army Air Corps, relocating to Utah with the car. While stationed there, he worked on the Enola Gay and fabricated a new hood for the Ford at the same facility. After returning to Los Angeles in 1945, Manny resumed racing before retiring the car to storage in 1952, as faster flathead-powered competitors emerged. It remained in storage for over three decades.

Remarkably preserved, this Model A remains a tangible link to the formative years of hot rodding, retaining its original black paint, wonderfully cracked red interior, and authentic period character throughout.

Descriptions of Property Any written or oral descriptions of the Lots or related information, including any published catalogue, Lot description or other Auction-related materials, postings, announcements, press releases, advertisements, bill of sale or invoice, or statements or affirmations made by or on behalf of Gooding Christie’s prior to or at the Auction, including any reference to a Lot as being a particular model, make, or type or the rarity or uniqueness or provenance thereof, are only statements of opinion and not statements of fact and do not, and shall not under any circumstances be deemed to, create or constitute representations or warranties of any kind by Gooding Christie’s or the Seller.

Inspection of Lots Viewing Hours and Appointments. During viewing hours or by appointment (as applicable), bidders are provided an opportunity to inspect the Lots prior to bidding and are invited and strongly encouraged to conduct, and must solely rely upon, their own independent inspection and examination of any Lot and all matters relating thereto before placing any bid. Refer to the published event information, including the “Event

Information” page on the Site, for the viewing hours and information for scheduling appointments.

Buyer Responsibility. Gooding Christie’s has no obligation or responsibility, and does not assume any obligation or responsibility, to undertake an inspection of any Lot prior to the Auction. Bidders are solely responsible for inspecting the Lots prior to bidding (regardless of whether Gooding Christie’s conducts its own inspection of the Lot) and satisfying themselves as to the condition of the Lots and all other matters relating to the Lots, including condition, title, importance, value, quality, authenticity, description (including the published Lot description), provenance and whether or not any Lot complies with any applicable federal, state or other laws or regulations of any kind, and to identify any repairs, restoration or replacement parts and to ascertain completeness. As the condition and other potentially relevant matters related to a Lot are not necessarily easily determined, and Gooding Christie’s does not claim or possess any peculiar knowledge or experience in determining such matters and does not have access to relevant information, Gooding Christie’s does not, and does not assume any obligation or responsibility to, undertake a level of inspection necessary to obtain or verify such information, including any published Lot description or other description or announcement or affirmation, and Gooding Christie’s relies upon information provided by the Seller.

No Warranty on Condition. Gooding Christie’s does not assume any responsibility to determine the condition of any Lot, and any condition report (and/or any other description or information provided relating to the Lot, including in the published Lot description, in any statement by any employee, officer, agent, or representative of Gooding Christie’s, or in any other Auctionrelated materials) is not intended to and does not negate or modify the paragraph labeled “As Is – No Warranty” or any other provisions of the General Conditions, contains only statements of opinion and not statements of fact, and shall not be deemed to create representations or warranties of any kind.

In no event shall Gooding Christie’s or any of its directors, employees, officers, agents or representatives have any liability or responsibility for any matters relating to or arising out of such report and/or the condition of any Lot, regardless of the content or omissions of, or any errors in, the report. The absence with regard to a Lot of any mention of repairs, damage, replacement parts or restoration in any condition report, published Lot description or statements by Gooding Christie’s shall not be deemed to mean the Lot is free of the foregoing, nor shall reference to any of the foregoing be deemed to exclude any others.

Certificate of Title; Registration Gooding Christie’s makes no representation or warranty with respect to any existing certificate of title or registration with regard to any Lot. It is each bidder’s and Buyer’s responsibility to make their own independent investigation with regard to the title, including examining any and all documentation pertaining to the title or registration provided by the Seller and made available by Gooding Christie’s prior to the Auction, and determining whether a Lot is or can be registered. Gooding Christie’s does not guarantee or make any representation or warranty that any or all title or registration documentation will satisfy the requirements of any state in the United States or of any foreign jurisdiction, and Gooding Christie’s shall not be liable under any circumstances with regard to whether or not such documentation is acceptable, complete or adequate, or otherwise in connection therewith. All such title documentation is provided by the Seller, and Gooding Christie’s does not assume any responsibility or liability with regard to such title documentation or the quality or marketability of title to any Lot. The Buyer of a Lot is solely responsible for complying with all registration requirements as to such Lot. Subject to the foregoing, for Vehicles purchased at any Live Auction held in California or Online-Only Auction, Gooding Christie’s will manage the title transfer process on the Buyer’s behalf, send the Buyer the title by courier after the Auction and assess a documentation fee in the amount of $80.00 per Vehicle. Upon receipt of such title, the Buyer is responsible for registering the Vehicle at its final destination.

Absentee, Telephone, and Online Bidding Generally. Subject to availability during the Auction and prior approval in Gooding Christie’s discretion, with respect to one or more Lots as determined in Gooding Christie’s discretion, Gooding Christie’s, only as an accommodation and convenience, may offer absentee, telephone and online bidding to bidders who cannot attend a Live Auction, as well as absentee and telephone bidding to bidders participating in an Online-Only Auction. Telephone bids and the bidder’s telephone conversation with Gooding Christie’s employee, officer, agent or representative may be recorded, and by participating or bidding at the Auction by phone the bidder expressly consents to all such recording.

Bidding Increments. Bidding will be opened at a level determined by Gooding Christie’s (via the Online Bidding System) or the Auctioneer, as applicable (“Auction Conductor”), and will generally advance in increments of approximately 10% or as may be otherwise set forth in notices posted by Gooding

Christie’s on the “Important Notices” or “Event Information” pages of the Site. Absentee, telephone or online bids that do not conform to these increments may be lowered to the next bidding increment as determined by the Auction Conductor.

Gooding Christie’s will attempt to execute absentee bids and any emergency covering bids for telephone bidding and online bids at the lowest price, taking into account reserves and bids from all other parties and determining bid precedence in the event of simultaneous or nearsimultaneous bids. Each bidder also authorizes Gooding Christie’s to bid on the bidder’s behalf on the Lots specified up to the amount specified by the bidder.

Countdown Clock. With respect to any Lot in an Online-Only Auction, at least three minutes must elapse between placement of the final bid and the close of bidding. In furtherance of the foregoing, with respect to any such Lot, if a bid is placed with fewer than three minutes remaining on the countdown clock for bidding (“Countdown Clock”), then the bidding period will be extended and the Countdown Clock will be reset at three minutes, and such extensions will continue indefinitely until there is no more bidding activity on the Lot for a period of three consecutive minutes. The extension of any one Lot’s closing time will not affect other Lots’ closing times; therefore, in any Online-Only Auction, Lots may close out of numerical Lot order.

Currency Converter Gooding Christie’s may provide a currency converter during the Auction as an accommodation to bidders who wish to follow the bidding in foreign currencies, and any rates quoted or displayed are only indications of the conversion amount and shall not be relied upon by any bidder or Buyer for any purpose, including bidding. Gooding Christie’s shall not be liable or responsible for any errors or omissions in connection with such currency conversions or rates, and the bidder accepts and assumes all responsibility and liability for any errors or omissions relating thereto and for calculating any conversion rates.

Currency conversion rates may change from the time of bidding to the time of payment. All bids are made in and must be paid in U.S. Dollars. With respect to Online-Only Auctions, bids will display in U.S. Dollars only.

Estimates Estimates for the Lots published in any Lot description do not include the Buyer’s Premium (as defined below) or any taxes, are only opinions, are prepared well in advance of the Auction, are subject to change, and may be amended either orally or in writing prior to or at the Auction. Estimates should not be relied upon, and each bidder and Buyer hereby agrees not to rely upon any estimate, as fact or a guarantee or prediction of the actual selling

price or value of a Lot, and Gooding Christie’s shall not have any liability with regard to any estimates under any circumstances.

Reserves Unless otherwise specified in the published Lot description or announced at the Auction, the Lots will be offered subject to a reserve, which is the minimum amount that the Seller is willing to accept with regard to the respective Lot. Reserves are confidential and will not exceed the low presale estimate.

Gooding Christie’s may act to protect the reserve by bidding through the Auction Conductor, which may open bidding below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller, place bids on behalf of the Seller up to the reserve amount, place bids in response to other bidders or elect to withdraw the Lot from bidding if the opening bid is below the reserve. The Auction Conductor shall not be obligated to specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the Seller to protect the reserve nor will the Auction Conductor place a bid on behalf of the Seller at or above the reserve. Sellers may not bid on Lots they have consigned to Gooding Christie’s without prior announcement at the Auction.

Auction Conductor’s Role/Bidding Disputes Generally. The Auction Conductor has the absolute right and ability to refuse any bid or to split or advance bidding in any increments, regardless of any increment parameters set forth in the published Lot description or otherwise. The Auction Conductor makes the final determination about the validity of any bid, any error relating to bidding or any bid (including error by the Auction Conductor or Gooding Christie’s), or any dispute between bidders, whether bids are made in person, through an agent or representative, by absentee bid, by telephone bid, by online bidding, or by otherwise attending or participating in the Auction. The Auction Conductor has the absolute right and ability to choose to continue bidding, refuse a bid, cancel a bid, determine the successful bidder (including in the event of simultaneous or near-simultaneous bids), withdraw a Lot, reoffer a Lot, reopen bidding or restart the bidding, as the case may be, including in the event of concern, error, dispute or doubt with regard to any bid or bidding. In any dispute, Gooding Christie’s records (including the records of the Online Bidding System, as applicable), in each case whether audio, visual or written, are conclusive.

Buyer’s Premium; Taxes. Bid amounts, including the amount of any winning bid or final bid price, do not include the Buyer’s Premium (as defined below) or any taxes.

Bids Are Final. Each bid is final, binding, and irrevocable, and bidders may not change, retract or rescind any bid once made.

The Buyer Binding Contract. The buyer (“Buyer”) is the highest bidder acknowledged by the Auction Conductor and accepted by Gooding Christie’s, subject to the reserve, if any, and the terms of the General Conditions. The fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer (with respect to Live Auctions) or the moment when the Countdown Clock reaches zero (with respect to Online-Only Auctions), as applicable (the “Fall of the Hammer”), marks the acceptance of the Buyer’s bid and a contract of purchase and sale is made between the Buyer and Seller. Gooding Christie’s is not a party to the contract of purchase and sale and Gooding Christie’s shall not be liable or responsible for any breach or default of such contract by either Buyer or Seller. All sales are final.

Risk of Loss. Upon the Fall of the Hammer, the Buyer is thereupon responsible for and assumes all risk of loss or damage to such Lot. Gooding Christie’s, its employees, officers, directors, agents and representatives shall not be liable for any loss or damage to or any loss or damage caused by any Lot at any time.

Confirmation of Purchase. With respect to Live Auctions, immediately following the Fall of the Hammer, any Buyer that is physically present at the Auction shall be required to execute a Confirmation of Purchase, which confirms Buyer’s purchase of the Lot as announced by the Auctioneer.

Buyer’s Premium In addition to the final bid price, the Buyer is required to pay Gooding Christie’s a percentage of the final bid price, which Gooding Christie’s retains (the “Buyer’s Premium”). Gooding Christie’s Live Auctions in the U.S. and Online-Only Auctions will have the following Buyer’s Premiums: For Vehicle Lots: Live Auctions in the U.S.: (a) For a final bid price of $250,000 and below, Gooding Christie’s will receive a Buyer’s Premium of 12% of the final bid price; and (b) for a final bid price of above $250,000, Gooding Christie’s will receive a Buyer’s Premium of 12% on the first $250,000 and 10% on the remainder of the final bid price. Online-Only Auctions: Gooding Christie’s will receive a Buyer’s Premium of 10% of the final bid price.

For Automobilia Lots: Gooding Christie’s will receive a Buyer’s Premium of 25% of the final bid price.

Payment Purchase Price. The purchase price to be paid by the Buyer is, and the Buyer acknowledges it is responsible for and agrees to timely pay, the sum of the final bid price (the highest bid acknowledged and accepted by the Auction Conductor), plus (i) the Buyer’s Premium and (ii) all applicable state and local sales and/or use taxes and license fees (such taxes and fees to be

determined by Gooding Christie’s in its sole discretion) (collectively, the “Purchase Price”).

Payment Terms. Payment of the full Purchase Price is due to Gooding Christie’s no later than the Wednesday following completion of the Auction by (x) 5:00 pm local time of the Auction location with respect to Live Auctions or (y) 5:00 pm Pacific Time with respect to Online-Only Auctions.

Late Payment Fees. Gooding Christie’s and/or the Seller reserves the right to charge interest to the Buyer of up to a maximum of 18% per annum (or the maximum rate permitted by law if less than 18%) on any portion of the Purchase Price if the Buyer does not make timely payment of the Purchase Price when due under these Conditions of Sale. Such interest shall be calculated from when the Purchase Price (or any part there of) became due, until it is paid.

Other Amounts. In addition, the Buyer acknowledges it is responsible for, and agrees to timely pay, (a) any and all costs and expenses incurred on behalf of the Buyer and/or as a result of the Buyer’s failure to timely and fully comply with the General Conditions, including removal, transport and storage costs for the Lot and taxes thereon and (b) all other amounts due and owing pursuant to the General Conditions.

Payment Method. All payments must be made by wire transfer, certified bank check, cashier’s check or, with prior approval of Gooding Christie’s finance department, personal or company check. Unless otherwise agreed to by Gooding Christie’s in writing, Gooding Christie’s will not accept payment of any portion of the Purchase Price from any party other than the Buyer.

Passage of Title. Title to a Lot does not pass to the Buyer until good and cleared funds in the amount of the full Purchase Price are received by Gooding Christie’s.

Promotional Pricing Gooding Christie’s may offer certain promotional pricing (including waiving certain fees) from time to time that differs from standard rates for registration and the like (“Promotional Pricing”), and may discontinue such Promotional Pricing at any time. Such Promotional Pricing is offered in Gooding Christie’s sole discretion, and offering Promotional Pricing to one or more individuals on a particular occasion does not constitute a commitment to offer the same Promotional Pricing on any other occasion, or to any other individuals on any particular occasion.

Collection, Removal, And Storage Following the Auction, Buyer must remove all Lots from the Auction site, Gooding Christie’s facility or other location as directed by Gooding Christie’s (as applicable) at Buyer’s risk and expense, no later than (x) 5:00 pm local time on the Wednesday following completion of the Auction with respect to Live Auctions or (y) 5:00 pm Pacific Time on the Friday following completion of the Auction with respect to OnlineOnly Auctions (or such other time communicated by Gooding Christie’s to bidders and/or Buyers). If not removed timely by Buyer, in addition to any and all other remedies and rights Gooding Christie’s may have, Gooding Christie’s shall have the right (but not the obligation) to remove any Lot at Buyer’s sole risk and expense and store it, at Buyer’s expense, including removal, storage, transportation and handling expenses and costs and applicable taxes, at a third-party warehouse, and Buyer hereby grants Gooding Christie’s an irrevocable power of attorney to remove and store such Lots at Buyer’s expense.

Except in Gooding Christie’s sole discretion, no Lot shall be released to Buyer until Gooding Christie’s has received payment in full, in good, cleared funds, of the Purchase Price for the Lot, and Buyer has fully complied with the General Conditions.

Roadworthiness/Compliance Notwithstanding any oral or written statement or description of any kind regarding any Vehicle, whether by or on behalf of Gooding Christie’s or Seller, including in the published Lot description, all Vehicles are sold “as is” and only as collector’s items and Vehicles may not be suitable for use on the road. The Buyer of any Vehicle who intends to use the Vehicle on the road is responsible for determining roadworthiness and for complying with all applicable regulations regarding title, registration, insurance, emission control and safety equipment and the Buyer assumes all risk of whether any such Vehicle will or does comply, and neither Gooding Christie’s nor Seller shall have any liability or responsibility of any kind for failure to comply by or lack of roadworthiness of any Vehicle.

Export Permits The Buyer is responsible for determining whether or not an export permit is required to export a Lot and for obtaining and paying the costs of any permits or licenses necessary to export any Lot from the United States or any other country where it is registered and/or import it into any other country, and for the payment of any import duty that may be levied by the country of import. Gooding Christie’s makes no representation or warranty of any kind with regard to whether or not any Lot can be exported or imported or the issuance of an export or import permit for any Lot.

If the Buyer or a bidder fails to comply with any of the General Conditions, including if a Buyer or bidder fails to timely pay the full Purchase Price and/or remove a Lot when and as required by these Conditions of Sale, the Buyer or bidder, as the case may be, shall be in breach and default of the General Conditions, and shall be liable to Gooding Christie’s, and each bidder and Buyer agree that Gooding Christie’s shall be entitled to recover from such Buyer or bidder, as the case may be, any and all damages, costs, expenses, fees (including attorneys’ fees) and other amounts suffered and/or incurred by Gooding Christie’s as a result of such failure to comply (including any such damages, costs, expenses, fees and other amounts suffered or incurred as a result of suit(s) by the Seller or other third parties). Further, in such event of a failure to comply, Gooding Christie’s may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, in addition to all other available remedies under the General Conditions, at law and otherwise, and without any notice to such Buyer or bidder, take any one or more of the following actions to the fullest extent allowed by law: (a) hold the defaulting Buyer or bidder, as the case may be, liable for the Purchase Price, all other amounts due under the General Conditions, and all damages, costs and expenses suffered or incurred by Gooding Christie’s and/or the Seller as a result of such default and failure to comply, including initiating legal action against the Buyer or bidder, including an action for specific performance; (b) cancel or rescind the sale; (c) resell the Lot(s) with or without reserve privately or at public auction, in which case the Buyer or bidder shall be liable for any deficiency between the Purchase Price and other amounts due under the General Conditions (plus all damages, costs, expenses, fees (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Gooding Christie’s and/or the Seller as a result of noncompliance and all

commissions, premiums and fees applicable to such resales) and the price received upon the resale; (d) remove or arrange for the removal and storage of the Lot at the sole risk and cost of such defaulting Buyer or bidder; (e) offset any sums due from Gooding Christie’s to the Buyer or bidder against the Purchase Price and all other amounts due and owing by the Buyer or bidder under the General Conditions; (f) repossess the Lot(s) for which the Purchase Price or any portion thereof is unpaid, and resell such Lot(s) and apply the sale proceeds against amounts owed by such Buyer or bidder under the General Conditions; and/ or (g) take any other action that Gooding Christie’s in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable, including any combination of the foregoing remedies.

Short Payments. If Buyer or bidder has purchased more than one Lot and Gooding Christie’s receives less in payment than the total due for all Lots purchased, Gooding Christie’s may apply the funds received toward payment of whichever Lot(s) it selects in its sole discretion, regardless of what the Buyer or bidder may or may not direct.

Security Interest. By registering to bid or by placing a bid at the Auction, each Buyer and bidder hereby agrees to grant Gooding Christie’s, and Gooding Christie’s shall be deemed to have, a first priority security interest in, and Gooding Christie’s may retain as collateral security for such Buyer’s or bidder’s obligations to Gooding Christie’s, any Lot and any other propert`y in Gooding Christie’s possession owned by such Buyer or bidder and any and all proceeds (including proceeds as defined under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in California), including insurance proceeds, of any of the foregoing. Gooding Christie’s shall have all the rights and remedies provided to a secured party under the UCC and shall be entitled to file one or more financing statements as Gooding Christie’s may desire, with regard to any and all such Lots and other personal property, and shall be entitled to sell any such property in Gooding Christie’s possession and apply against the Purchase Price and other amounts due and owing by the Buyer or bidder the proceeds from such sale. If Buyer or bidder defaults and Gooding Christie’s elects its discretion to pay the Seller a portion of the net proceeds due Seller with regard to the sale of the Lot, Gooding Christie’s shall have all the rights and remedies of Seller against the Buyer or bidder, including the right to pursue the Buyer or bidder for all such amounts and any and all other amounts, damages, costs, fees and expenses as may be available under the General Conditions, at law, in equity or otherwise.

Governing Law; Jurisdiction California Law. The Auction, the General Conditions and the

relationship and rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed solely and exclusively by the laws of the state of California, without regard to such state’s choice of law rules and regardless of where the bidder or Buyer is located or received any Auction materials.

Binding Arbitration. Each bidder and Buyer agree that any dispute (including any claim, counterclaim or other action) or controversy arising out of or relating to any of the General Conditions, the Auction or any Lot shall be brought and determined by arbitration in Los Angeles, California before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The determination of the scope or applicability of this Agreement to arbitrate shall be solely determined by JAMS. Judgment on an award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. In the event that any party seeks relief under this Agreement in any venue other than through JAMS (including federal or state court), then the complaining party shall pay all of the costs, fees, including attorneys’ fees, and expenses of the responding party. Each party shall pay its own proportionate share of arbitrator fees and expenses. The parties waive their right to a jury trial and the right of appeal. In the event that either files any claim against any shareholder, employee, officer, director, member, manager, representative, principal, or agent of the other party, then the parties hereby agree that any such claims shall also be subject to this dispute resolution section. Each bidder and Buyer, by registering to bid at or participating in the Auction (whether in person, through an agent or representative, by absentee bid, by telephone bid, by online bid, or by otherwise attending or participating in the Auction), and any person attending the Auction, hereby submits to the jurisdiction of state and federal courts in California.

Miscellaneous Headings are for ease of reference only and may not be used to interpret the substance of the section to which they apply. All uses of the word “including,” “include” and “includes” shall not be limiting, and shall be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” If any term, provision, condition or covenant of the General Conditions or its application to any party or circumstance shall be held, to any extent, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the General Conditions, or the application of the term, provision, condition or covenant to persons or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected, and shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. In the event of a conflict between these Conditions of Sale and any other document constituting a part of the General Conditions, the Conditions of Sale shall prevail unless the other conflicting provision is more strict against the Buyer or bidder. Time is of the essence for bidders’ and Buyer’s performance under the General Conditions.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no employee, officer, agent, representative or contractor of Gooding Christie’s is authorized by Gooding Christie’s to modify, waive or contradict any of the General Conditions. No act, omission, statement, promise, assurance or commitment of Gooding Christie’s or any

of its employees, officers, agents, representatives, or contractors shall be or be deemed to be, or operate as, a waiver or amendment of any of the General Conditions or of any of Gooding Christie’s rights and remedies thereunder or constitute a representation or warranty of any kind and shall not have or be of any force or effect. Any statements, terms, conditions, representations or warranties relating to any Lot or the Auction not expressly set forth in the General Conditions shall not be, or be deemed to be, of any force or effect, regardless of how or when made.

For Online-Only Auctions: Consumer Rights If the Seller is a natural person or legal entity in the business of selling automobiles and acting for purposes related to such business (a “Business”) and the Buyer is a consumer that has a right of withdrawal against the Seller on the basis of EU consumer protection laws, then the Buyer may have an automatic statutory right to rescind the purchase of a Lot in an Online- Only Auction for 14 calendar days after the Buyer becomes responsible for taking possession of the Lot. Gooding Christie’s reserves the right to make the reasonable determination as to whether a Seller meets the definition of “Business.” A Buyer who exercises the foregoing right to rescind is responsible for any and all expenses associated with the Lot, including transportation, duty, storage, insurance, and taxes. If the Buyer exercises this right, the Buyer bears all risk of loss, and is therefore advised to insure the Lot, until the Seller re-takes possession of the Lot. For California Auctions: California Car Buyer’s Bill of Rights Pursuant to California law, Gooding Christie’s offers any Buyer who purchases a used Vehicle for less than $40,000 at Auction the option to purchase a two-day cancellation option agreement, subject to statutory conditions. There is no coolingoff period unless the Buyer obtains a contract cancellation option agreement.
