Original vintage film advertising poster for the 'Cronache Del Mondo' - Chronicles of the World, captioned '23rd One Thousand Miles, Coloured - Special Issue in Cinediorama, a G.L.M. Production.' This longer poster features a simple artwork with a cinematographer holding an Arriflex film camera pointed at a blue tinted globe. The 23. edizione Mille Miglia was an auto race held on a 992.332 mile (1597 km) course made up entirely of public roads around Italy, mostly on the outer parts of the country on 28-29 April 1956. The route was based on a round trip between Brescia and Rome, with start/finish, in Brescia. It was the 3rd round of the 1956 World Sportscar Championship. This race was won by Scuderia Ferrari driver Eugenio Castellotti without the aid of a navigator. The Italian finished 12 minutes in front of their second-placed team-mates, the English pairing of Collins and Louis Klementaski. Luigi Musso and Juan Manuel Fangio were next ensuring Ferrari finished 1-2-3-4. Very good condition, fold line, scuffs and paper loss on margins. Country of issue: Italy, designer: Unknown, size (cm): 70x33, year of printing: 1956

A good opportunity to recommission this beautiful V12 Ferrari GT, just 14,318 miles.UK-supplied, right-hand drive 456 Modificata Automatic. Just 14,318 miles (atoc) from newThe definitive Grand Tourer - fast yet practical, front-engined, 436bhp, 5.5-litre V12Well presented in Azzuro California with light tan leather and dark blue carpetsMost recent MOT dated 2013 but appears to have been stored correctly sinceThis car has formed part of a large collection with little or no use. Will require a degree of mechanical recommissioning, offered as a non-runnerPowered by what was essentially a detuned version of the engine powering the 550 and 575, the new 5.5-litre V12 unleashed no less than 436 bhp and, except for the F40, the 456 was the most powerful road car developed by Ferrari up to that point. Pininfarina worked its magic on the 456 to create a subtly beautiful curvaceous body contrasting with the hard edges of its predecessor. Aerodynamically efficient, the 456 remained stable up to its maximum speed of around 190 mph. Acclaimed on its debut, the 456's styling has not dated and is a tribute to Pininfarina's vision in creating one of most beautiful vehicle designs of modern times. The 'Modificata' 456 M appeared in 1998, starting with chassis number 109589 and it incorporated a number of changes, including improvements to the aerodynamics and cooling. The interior, still featuring Connolly Leather, was also freshened up with new seats and other detailing. The updated 456M, which was the last Ferrari model to use pop-up headlamps, was replaced in 2004 by the 612 Scaglietti.Offered here is a UK supplied, right-hand drive 2001 Ferrari 456M GTA with just 14,319 miles displayed on the speedometer at the time of cataloguing. Presented in a beautiful colour combination of Azzuro California with light tan leather and dark blue carpets. This particular example formed part of a significant private collection and appears to have been stored correctly over the years however may not have been used for some time. Consequently, the Ferrari is offered 'as is' and should be considered a non-runner. The last MOT expired on 7th March 2013 and before any attempt is made to start this car we would suggest a thorough inspection, the Cam-belts are replaced and all fluids changed as a minimum.Guided accordingly, this is an exciting opportunity to recommission this wonderful GT which, with all the work completed will provide its new owner with many years of enjoyment.In recent years this motorcar has formed part of a large collection and as such has received little or no use, an element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once again.

The 51st E-Type to be made, this Lightweight Evocation has FIA papers and is eligible for a variety of high-quality eventsChassis no.#850051 was the 51st E-Type to be produced at Browns Lane (22/06/1961)Finished in Opalescent Silver Grey with red leather it was part of the historically significant, initial batch of 64 UK dealer demonstrators South Devon Garages Ltd of Torquay sold it to its first recorded keeper, Mr E.G.DawesIn 2001, it was owned by Ferrari Formula One driver, Eddie Irvine, who sent it to J.D. Classics for an upgrade to their lightweight replica specification (£25,056)Vented hardtop, boot lid, perspex headlamp covers, Le Mans-spec front sill darts, Dunlop-pattern peg-drive alloy wheels with 3-eared spinners, and a competition-spec engine running triple Weber 48DCOEs Currently full race spec. FIA HTP papers (31/12/2029) Period F (1962 - 1965) Class GTS 12Most recent MOT is dated 2018. Current V5c and still usable on the roadAn exciting opportunity for an enthusiast who wants to aim for higher-profile events. Surely Classic Le Mans, Tour Auto and Goodwood all beckon as future possibilities Early production, Series 1 E-types are both extremely rare and very collectable so Silverstone Auctions are very privileged to be offering, not one, but two cars from these early days in our forthcoming Silverstone Classic Online Sale. This car ~ Chassis no. 850051 ~ was the 51st E-Type to be produced at Browns Lane (the Heritage Certificate confirms the date of manufacture as 22nd June 1961) and is part of the, historically significant, initial batch of 64 UK dealer demonstrators. It was despatched to the West Country where South Devon Garages Ltd of Torquay eagerly took delivery of their Opalescent Silver Grey demonstrator with red leather upholstery and a black soft top and they quickly sold it to its first recorded keeper, Mr E.G.Dawes of Torquay. At the time, Jaguar dealers were under strict instructions not to sell their E-type demonstrators but as a close friend of Tommy Sopwith and John Coombs, fellow powerboat racers and Jaguar racers a few strings were pulled! He appears to have upgraded the car early on for sprints/hill climbs and club racing. The history file is comprehensive and it would be worthwhile for the car's new owner to investigate further #850051's long and intriguing history. However, with limited research, the file suggests that in 2001 the car was owned by noted Ferrari Formula One driver, Eddie Irvine, and he subsequently sent it to J.D.Classics for an upgrade to their 'lightweight replica' specification. The invoice for this totalled a substantial £25,056 and is fully detailed but, suffice it to say, the Jaguar was now in seriously fast road specification as a factory 'Lightweight Evocation' with lots of external body upgrades, including a vented hardtop, boot lid, perspex headlamp covers, Le Mans-spec front sill darts, Dunlop-pattern peg-drive alloy wheels with 3-eared spinners, and a competition-spec engine running triple Weber 48DCOEs. The cockpit was fitted with competition harnesses, racing seats and a padded transmission tunnel and under the bonnet, were many upgrades to both the engine and the brakes as fully detailed in the paperwork. It was, perhaps, the ultimate road-going E-Type spec of that era.At one point it was purchased by Silverstone Auctions owner, Nick Whale, and used enthusiastically on fast road rallies. Later, the file shows it was sold through the auspices of, highly esteemed, Eagle E-Types as a used car worthy of their reputation. Various owners have come and gone according to the paperwork, although most recently there is an invoice on file for £215,000 when #850051 was sold by Hofmanns of Henley on Thames to our vendor.Today, it's now in full racing competition spec and carries current FIA HTP papers for period F (1962 -1965) Class GTS 12 which are valid until 31-12-2029. The most recent MOT is dated 2018 and, as the car still has a current V5C, it is still useable on the road as well as the track, meaning this early fully-historied car is an interesting proposition for International Rallies and Tours that specialise in genuine period cars.An exciting opportunity for an enthusiast who wants to aim for higher-profile events. Surely Classic Le Mans, Tour Auto and Goodwood all beckon as future possibilities.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

A superbly presented, low ownership Mk2 with just 9,500 milesA late production face-lift Mk2 specified for driving purity with 2WD and a manual gearboxJust 9,500 miles from new and in amazing condition wholly commensurate with the low mileage and diligent ownership by just two previous keepers3.6-litre dry-sumped, water-cooled flat-6 with 320PS. 0-62mph in 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 178 mphTastefully finished in Polar Silver and optioned with a factory-fitted Aero Kit and Sports exhaustFull service history - most recent major service just over 1,000 miles agoSupplied with a complete book-pack and spare keysProduced from 1997 to 2004, the 996 received the first all-new platform in the 911's 34-year existence, but was controversial at the time of its launch mainly because it was the first 911 to switch from air to water-cooling. In 1998, Car and Driver put the Carrera 2 up against the Ferrari 355 and the Porsche came out on top. Furthermore, it was prized as the EVO Magazine car of the year with "its ability to be approachable and accessible like a sports car, but still with the ability to inspire awe like a supercar... on the road its purity of purpose, poise, finesse and honed athleticism allowed it to dominate a test that included the Ferrari F355 and Elise 135".The base model, the Carrera 2, is now rightly regarded as the purest, most driver-focused model in the range, being rear-wheel drive, with three pedals, and has a beautiful naturally aspirated flat-six. It's the lightest water-cooled 911 you can buy, the same-generation GT3 included. It's also 80kg lighter than the air-cooled 993 predecessor, which is 50% wobblier. And you still get the rear +2 seats, as a 996 is 18.5cm longer than the previous 993.The car presented here is C16 (UK-supplied), last-year-of-production Mk2 (face-lifted) model, with the staggeringly low mileage of just 9,500. It really must be seen to be fully appreciated, this cossetted example really is in superb original condition and still retains that distinctive 'new car smell'. It was delivered new on the 3rd of January 2004 via Porsche Centre Aberdeen and returned a further three times for a service at 3,175 miles, 5,014 miles, and 6,795 miles, all with its first owner who kept it until 2017. Our vendor acquired the car later in 2017, through Porsche specialist Steve Bull. He, in turn, kept this lovely Porsche in the manner to which it had become accustomed and it has always been garaged and was serviced (including a belt change) at Cotswold Porsche Specialists at 8,382 miles. With a complete book-pack, including its original service booklet, an as-new full key set and invoices for maintenance, this is simply the nicest 996 C2 we have ever offered for sale and it must be one of the best available anywhere currently.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

One of just 68, UK-delivered, right-hand drive examples with just 18,980 milesOne of just 68, UK-delivered, right-hand drive Spiders with just 18,980 miles indicated (atoc)The low mileage is supported by a detailed history file including specialist invoices, receipts and old MOTsBeautifully presented in summer-fresh Giallo Modena with black leather seats and a black hoodKnown to Silverstone Auctions, one of the best we have seen. Offered from a private collectionDance on the pedals and enjoy the 'click-clack' of that open gate with the wind in your hair and the rasp of that glorious V8 soundtrack over your shoulder. A wonderful introduction to classic Ferrari ownershipIn late 1993, the 348 was revised, with a few subtle styling changes (front grille, rear chrome Cavallino, and removable seat cushions), and now boasted 320bhp from the same 3.4-litre engine in F119H-spec with an increased compression ratio (10.8-1), modified camshaft timing, a new exhaust, and a Bosch Motronic 2.7, engine management system.This delightful, right-hand drive Ferrari 348 Spider was delivered new on 02 August 1994 to its first owner by Lancaster Ferrari, Colchester main agents. Specified from new in Giallo Modena with a black leather interior and a black hood, great colours for a 348, this example presents almost as well as the day it was collected new from the showroom with the paintwork still retaining a deep gloss and the interior displaying minimal wear. Clearly well looked after over the years as evidenced by its overall condition and the original service book stamped up-to-date with 11 stamps from main dealers or highly regarded marque specialists (most recent in October 2019 at 18,805 miles). The car is accompanied by the original leather-bound Ferrari book-pack containing the owner's manuals, a fresh MOT showing no advisories (valid until 22 June 2021), the tonneau cover, tool kit and spare keys. On offer from a significant private collection, it's believed that Ferrari UK only imported 68 right-hand drive Spiders, making this a very rare car. The outstanding condition of this beautiful 348 is certainly commensurate with its impeccable service history, all of it suggesting caring ownership, and once viewed, it will be difficult to resist the joy of three-pedal, open-top touring with that glorious V8 crackle in the background.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

Only 46,300 miles and looking purposeful in Nero with a Tan hide interior.48-valve, 5.5-litre V12 developing 485bhp at 7,000rpm and a six-speed manual gearboxA V12 at the front, perfect weight distribution and a manual gearboxReal-world GT ability combined with timeless elegance79,494km (46,288 miles) presented in Nero with Tan hideSupplied by Al-Tayer Motors LLC, entered the UK soon afterwards and a good history file Firmly placed in Ferrari's history as one of their finest modern-era big GTs, the 550 Maranello's combination of elegant lines and legendary front-mounted 12-cylinder engine, meant that these cars had the potential to become instant classics. Following in the footsteps and sharing the DNA of the 365 GTB/4 'Daytona', the 550 Maranello is inevitability compared to its forbear. Few front-engined Ferraris have quite justified that comparison quite like the 550 Maranello.Styled by Pininfarina, like its illustrious predecessor, the 550 Maranello was similarly proportioned, adopting the classical combination of long bonnet, a small cabin and a truncated tail. Classic Ferrari styling cues include a bonnet air scoop and hot air outlets behind the front wheel-arches recalling the great Competizione Ferraris of the past, whilst the rear incorporates Ferrari's characteristic twin circular lights.The heart of any Ferrari is its engine, and the 550 Maranello's 48-valve, 5.5-litre V12 develops 485bhp at 7,000rpm. The powertrain was housed in a tubular steel chassis, to which was attached aluminium coachwork, whilst the all-independent suspension incorporated dual-mode (normal/sports) damping, switch-selectable by the driver, which was complemented by speed-sensitive power-assisted steering.The six-speed manual gearbox complements a slightly more even torque curve ensuring that the power delivery was a little less frenetic, whilst excellent weight distribution and delightful road manners make the 550 Maranello a truly refined driving machine, whilst still capable of almost 200 mph. With styling that is ageing particularly well, a high-quality cabin, generous storage and an enormous 100-litre-plus fuel tank, the 550 Maranello really is the consummate 'European Grand Tourer' in the true Ferrari mould.Supplied by Al-Tayer Motors LLC, this left-hand-drive 550 entered the UK soon afterwards, and the history file shows that it has benefitted from a comprehensive service schedule with Ferrari main dealers and marque specialists. Nero is an unusual colour that suits the 550 profile well, and the Tan interior makes for a great combination. Having covered just 46,300 miles (79,494 km) this front-engined, V12, manual box Ferrari is the ultimate Grand Tourer.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveOne of only 230 UK right-hand drive QVs produced and just 41,046 miles from newPresented in gleaming Rosso Corsa with magnolia leather and Bordeaux carpetsThe car's classic looks are complemented by a deep front spoiler and Speedline wheelsA very original example that has been cherished by the same family since 1987, acquired at circa 23,217 miles£16,000 spent on substantial service works in February 2019 by Kent High Performance at 40,941 milesFabulous documented history. Original service wallet, book pack, tool kit, jack kit and standard exhaustEnticingly offered at No reserve - one for the true Ferrari enthusiast to use and enjoyOctober 1975, saw the debut at the Paris Motor Show of the most successful shape ever to wear the Cavallino Rampante emblem, the Ferrari 308, and during its comparatively long production run from 1975-89, the model was consistently popular and kept the factory busy. This new car was constructed on a traditional steel tube chassis, but its beautiful body was initially manufactured in GRP before, after two years, Scaglietti started making GTBs in steel. The 3-litre, four-cam V8 was more or less unchanged until March 1981 when Bosch fuel injection was added in place of the 4 double-choke Webers, reducing the engine's power output significantly, although the final drive was altered on these cars to give similar acceleration to a carburettor car. Two years later, the 4-valve per cylinder Quattrovalvole or 'QV' model pushed output back up to 240 hp restoring the status quo. European-spec cars boasted higher horsepower than cars built for the American market and were somewhat lighter. Only 3,042 Spider Quattrovalvoles were produced, with just 230 RHD examples supplied to the UK and they are considered by many to be the most desirable of all the 308 variations as they are the fastest and most subtly styled with a deep front valance, racing mirrors, and short lightweight bumpers.This lovely GTS (Spider) is classically finished in Rosso Corsa with Magnolia leather and Bordeaux carpets. The paintwork and coachwork are exactly as you might hope to find and the timeless looks of this 45-year-old design are complemented by the deep front valance and optional roof-mounted aerofoil. It has been part of one family since 1987 until joining our vendor's collection last year and is accompanied by a great history file. The substantially documented current mileage is 41,046 and within the file is an invoice from highly regarded marque experts Kent High Performance, dated February 2019, for a full cambelt and substantial service to include rebuilt Koni shocks, rebuilt heater, alloy wheel refinish with new tyres and more at 40,941 miles with less than 110 miles travelled since.Presented with the car is its original wallet containing the service books and manuals documenting the cars excellent service history and a folder containing a number of bills/invoices detailing attention over the years. The tool kit and jack appear original and the standard factory exhaust looks quite at home.In superb condition for its age and mileage, this rare right-hand drive, QV Spider has patently been well looked after and is a fantastic example of the ultimate evolution of the 308. Enticingly offered at No Reserve, it's one for the true Ferrari enthusiast to use and enjoy.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveAn 80s time-capsule. Only 3,598 km (2,236 miles) from newA desirable European-delivered car that remains remarkably originalWith its first owner for 20 years and only two subsequentlyClassically finished in Rosso over Nero with black carpets and silver alloysWith early documentation/correspondence, original books/manuals, tools and bespoke luggage We don't know where you'll find a more original example and, amazingly, offered at No ReserveNB. This car has been in a private collection for some time and although the mileage is tiny, it will need a full cambelt service before any attempt is made to start itWhen Ferrari introduced the Testarossa in Paris in 1984, it was regarded as possibly the best car they had ever built but, whilst the design was spectacular, it was not considered to be as sensually beautiful as numerous GT Ferraris of the past. As a complete departure, Pininfarina had designed a modern, aerodynamic and efficient body shape, immediately recognisable by its very distinctive side 'strakes' unlike anything else seen in the post-war period. The name 'Testarossa', literally Redhead, became synonymous with Ferrari sports racing cars in the 50s and 60s and was resurrected at the launch of this new model at the Porte de Versailles in 1984.Housing a 4.9-litre V12 engine producing 390bhp, the car was capable of a respectable 0-60 mph time of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 196mph. Produced between 1984 and 1991, several thousand of these amazing cars found homes. Once again, time showed Pininfarina's design to be durable, and throughout the eighties, the distinctive 'strakes' were echoed in other design disciplines from cars to kettles.However, although the design may have seemed to be 'of the moment', the Testarossa proved itself to be a well-built car, and despite its 'Eiger-rivaling' list price, turned out to be Ferrari's most successful model ever up to that point. Today it's a design icon, symbolic of eighties culture, and despite a quieter year or two, its popularity is returning rapidly. It's not a surprise really since the Testarossa offers a rare package of serious performance, practicality, and reasonable comfort and although heavy at low speeds, its confidence-inspiring handling at high speed becomes almost addictive.On the 30th May 1988, Herr Dieter Korch decided that the time had come to convert his desire to own a new Ferrari Testarossa into reality as he signed the order form and handed over DM 240.880,00 (approximately £75,000 at the time) for the car you see here today. Korch, the founder of a successful auto glazing company in the Middle Rhine, would, however, be kept waiting for his new Ferrari and a letter from the Zender Exclusiv-Auto dealer in January 1989 explained that delays at the factory were to be blamed. Finally, on the 16th of May, almost exactly one year after placing his order, the original registration document was issued.According to this document, which remains with the car along with the original order forms and dealer correspondence, the Ferrari was only registered for use in the summer months and was annually stamped as 'Decommissioned' from use over winter. The result of this selective use is that the Testarossa had covered just 2,998kms by 8th September 1995, when it was declared off the road for the winter once more, however, this particular period of annual hibernation was to last until May 2009, with the Ferrari comfortably asleep for nearly 14 years.Having not used his Ferrari for all those years, Herr Korch finally parted with it in 2010 after a rewarding 20-year ownership. With the mileage at a little over 3,000km, hotelier Manfred Petermann became the car's second proud owner but he, in turn, added little to the Ferrari's odometer before it joined one of Europe's significant car collections in May 2012.Classically finished in Rosso Corsa with a black leather interior, black carpets, and silver 5-bolt alloys, this remarkable car has still only covered 3,598km and remains virtually unmarked and in 'showroom' condition. Whilst it has been pampered, petted and polished for the last few years in the collection, it hasn't actually gone anywhere so common sense dictates that it's not to be started until it's had a full service and fresh cambelts. It's supplied with the original Order Forms, Registration Document, Book Pack, spare keys, tool roll and bespoke luggage case.The Testarossa offers a rare package of serious performance, practicality, and reasonable comfort, and its confidence-inspiring handling at high speed becomes almost addictive.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveAn original left-hand-drive European example with just 2,040km (1,268 miles) from newTotally cherished by its first owner until 2013 before becoming the property of a significant European collectorABS, Air-conditioning and the optional roof aerofoil were specified from newWith its Targa-top, the Gran Turismo Spider offers unbridled access to the glorious sound of that sensational 'flat-plane' V8Original books and manuals, Ferrari tool roll, Targa-top cover and spare keys with a Crepaldi key ringPerhaps the definition of preservation and reference of originality for all 328s?This surely must be one of, if not the, very best original 328 GTS in existence and excitingly, is offered at No ReserveNB. This car has been in a private collection for some time and although the mileage is tiny, it will need a full cambelt service before any attempt is made to start itThe Ferrari 328 GTS and GTB made their worldwide debut at the 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show and its styling was an obvious evolution of the Ferrari 308 Series, however, Pininfarina's Leonardo Fioravanti had softened his previous design and it still remained a popular choice with Ferrari aficionados.Under the engine cover is the same transversely-mounted, fuel-injected V8 from the Ferrari 308 Quattrovalvole, with an increase in displacement. By increasing both bore and stroke, the 'quattrovalvole's capacity was raised to 3,186cc which, together with a higher compression ratio, revised pistons, and an improved Marelli engine management system, lifted maximum power to 270bhp at 7,000rpm. Top speed was raised to within a whisker of 160mph (258km/h) and 60mph arrived from a standing start in 5.5 seconds. A significant difference from the 308 is the use of galvanized steel, which greatly reduces potential rust problems compared to its forebear, however, beneath the skin, the tubular steel chassis remained much as before, with all-round independent suspension by double wishbones, four-wheel servo-assisted disc brakes, and aluminium-alloy wheels, though the latter were increased in size. The interior too had come in for some subtle revision and now featured improved instruments, switchgear, and heating.Taking advantage of all this development was Sig. Riccardo Nicoli, a Milanese businessman who, on the 14th January 1988, placed an order for this very 328 GTS through his local Ferrari Concessionaires 'Crepaldi Auto'. Pleasingly, both the original Order Form and Sales Invoice have been beautifully preserved, still within their original distinctive yellow Crepaldi Auto envelopes, and they show that the car was specified new with the optional air conditioning, ABS and roof-mounted aerofoil.Having negotiated a near 4 Million Lire discount, presumably to help ease the cost of his optional extras, Sig. Nicoli signed over the L104.134.800,00 balance and proudly took delivery of his gleaming Ferrari Spider on 21st June 1988 - just time for the Italian Summer. The car was clearly cherished during his 25-year ownership as over this period he covered less than 2,000km but the Ferrari was maintained within an inch of its life. Every millimetre of the Rosso bodywork was dusted and kept clean and dry and every mechanical area received the attention it required. Total devotion. In 2013, the Ferrari joined one of Europe's premier car collections and was equally cherished there. Now on offer from our vendor's private collection, the 328 today has covered just 2,039 km (1,267 miles) from new and surely must be one of the, if not the, very best original 328 GTS in existence. As you would expect, it's accompanied by its original books, the original Order Form and Sales Invoice, tool roll, Targa-top cover and spare keys on the Crepaldi key ring.We welcome any inspection of this remarkable car.NB; Whilst it has been pampered, petted and polished for the last few years, it hasn't actually gone anywhere, so common sense dictates that the car is not to be started until it's had a full service and fresh cambelts.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveOne of only 235 UK-supplied, right-hand drive 246 GT SpidersDelivered new by Dick Lovett Specialist Cars to its first owner in Northampton in June 1973Finished in Azzuro Dino Metallico with Beige VM 3218 hide, Beige carpets and electric windowsThis matching numbers example has only covered a documented 18,275 miles from newRecent refresh to return the car to its original colour of Blue Met DinoDocumentation with the car includes copies of the original order and invoice from Ferrari to Dick Lovett, DVLA ownership from new, MOTs and service invoices dating back to 1974. Factory manuals and bespoke JackRarely do such well-documented cars of this quality come to market and we are proud to offer this beautiful example which is now ready to begin the next chapter of its lifeThe new Dino 246GT was an absolute delight from all angles, its beauty, handling, engine note, mid-engined layout, unusually good all-round visibility and comparative affordability made it absolutely irresistible. The voluptuous bodywork, which many people regard as the prettiest ever to grace a road-going Ferrari, was designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti and covered a tubular chassis which carried wishbone independent suspension at each corner. The 190bhp engine, with four overhead camshafts, was mounted transversely behind the driver and in front of the rear axle. Power to the wheels was transmitted via drop gears to the transverse 5-speed gearbox, in unit with the differential and engine sump. With rack and pinion steering and a mid-engined configuration, it was a revelation in terms of road holding and stability, nothing had been made like this before and it left its larger V12-engined siblings in its wake.This was a very modern car and a real step in Ferrari history announcing a new age for Ferrari in concept and design. Sparkling acceleration and a top speed of 145mph combined with a comfortable interior and some usable boot space meant that it was a genuine 'Grand Touring' car. Proving a great sales success, production of the Dino 246 finished in 1974 with 2,487 GTs and 1,274 GTS models.This fabulous Dino GTS was supplied new in right-hand drive by Dick Lovett Specialist Cars to a William John Blundell of Northampton on the 3rd June 1973 finished in Azzuro Dino Metallico with Beige VM 3218 hide, Beige carpets and electric windows, exactly as the car is presented today. It was first registered EAM 97L and a photocopy of the 'Green' Logbook is with the car. Within this car's super History File are copies of the original telephone order from Dick Lovett to the Factory and the Bills of Sale from Ferrari to Maranello Concessionaires (£4,902.00) and from Dick Lovett to the first owner (£5,537.36).The car was returned to Maranello Concessionaires in late 1979 for work to be carried out and there is a 4-page invoice in the file dated 29th February 1980 detailing those costs (£4,438.09). At the time, the second-hand value of a Dino was around £6,000 to put this expenditure into perspective. The speedometer head was also replaced with the original reading 15,445 miles. The MOT dated March 10th 1980 shows an odometer reading of 40 miles covered in the first few days of having the Dino back. At this point, the car had been painted Rosso and appears to have been looked after by Maranello for the next few years.The Ferrari was used lightly after its 1980 rebuild and by 20/01/1995 it had only covered 1,596 miles. The car's fourth owner, Mr Luay Allawi, instructed renowned Ferrari specialists, DK Engineering, to carry out a complete refresh in February 2001. Naturally, there are detailed invoices on file indicating that over 450 man-hours were spent on this recommission and the total expenditure was just short of £16,000. The car returned to DK in November of the same year, at 2,364 miles, for minor works and extensive detailing which included removing the engine to clean and paint the engine bay, specialist finishing of the carburettors and other ancillaries, strip and rebuild the driveshafts and supply and fit a 'Tubi-style' stainless silencer. The account, in this case, totalled £8,410.16 DK continued to look after and service the car until 2018 and there are invoices on file.This matching numbers example has recently been returned to its original Azzuro Dino Metallico and has still only covered 18,340 miles from new as fully documented in the extensive history file. As well as the aforementioned orders, bill of sale etc, the file also includes DVLA ownership from new, older MOTs from May 1977 through to 07/06/2018 at 2,465 miles, V5s, SORN details, dozens of invoices, correspondence, photos of the recommission and a condition report from GTO Engineering dated 02/08/ 2019. It still retains its original leather wallet with the original Service/Handbook and Parts Catalogue and the bespoke Dino jack.A superb, UK-supplied, rare original right-hand drive Dino GTS in a truly beautiful colour combination with genuine documented low mileage and literally just serviced by marque expert Bob Houghton.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveOne of only 281 ever built and just 2,494 miles (4,014 km) from new!Completed on 20/11/1992 and despatched to Germany on 18/12/1992Finished in rare Le Mans Blue Metallic with Smoke Grey leatherModified in 2001 to comply with California emissions regulationsWelcome in the US. EPA and CARB emission control certifiedServiced/new clutch ($10,400) at North Coast Exotics of Cleveland, Feb 2009Returned to the UK in 2013 to join the world's foremost supercar collectionInspected and fully sorted by Marque Guru, Don Law, at 1,805 miles (2,905km)New MOT valid until July 2021It was at the 1988 British Motor Show in Birmingham, appropriately, that the sensational Jaguar XJ220 concept prototype was first revealed to the public and, as expected, orders and the required £50,000 deposits flooded in from all corners of the world. The original concept was for a V12 engined car with a six-speed gearbox and four-wheel drive priced at just under £300,000. However, some four years later when production commenced, the XJ220 had become a two-wheel drive, twin-turbo V6 with a five-speed box on offer at £470,000. Predictably many of the 1,200 option holders tried to cancel their purchase blaming the massive change in the specification but the collapse in values of collectable supercars at the time was probably more of a factor. Eventually, the car found 275 buyers and the others don't know what they missed. Producing an impressive 549bhp at 7,000rpm and 473lb.ft at 4,500rpm and now slightly shorter by some ten inches courtesy of the smaller dimensions of the V6 engine against the bulky V12, but still, with a not inconsiderable girth of six feet and six inches, the XJ220 proved more than capable of reaching its target maximum speed. In 1992 at the Italian Nardo test track Formula One and sportscar ace, Martin Brundle, recorded 212.3mph around the banking in standard trim and 217.1mph with the catalytic converters disconnected, the latter speed equivalent to 223mph on a straight road.With 0-60mph acceleration in a brutal 3.5 seconds, the XJ220 was indisputably the fastest road car on the planet at that time and, thanks to motorsport-developed, inboard wishbone suspension and huge ventilated disc brakes with four-piston calipers, it held the road beautifully and stopped equally as well. Production of the car began the following year in a purpose-built factory at Bloxham in Oxfordshire with the first cars delivered in July. On the circuits, the Jaguar also proved highly effective. In the full-race version, the XJ220C, another sports car ace, Win Percy, took victory on the car's race debut in the BRDC National Sports GT Challenge and in the 1993 Le Mans 24 Hours, John Nielsen, David Brabham and David Coulthard finished first in the GT class.This particular car is finished in a beautiful dark Le Mans Blue metallic with Smoke Grey leather hides and, like all XJ220s, is equipped with factory air conditioning. It was completed on 20th November 1992 and departed Bloxham on 18th December destined for its first owner in Germany, arriving just in time for Christmas. Remarkably, the odometer registers just 2,494 miles (4,014 km) from new!Modifications to enable the Jaguar to conform to Californian emissions regulations were completed on 27th June 2001 and it is now compliant with U.S. EPA and CARB emission control regulations applicable to 1992 passenger cars. Following this certification, the XJ spent 12 years in the USA.In February 2009, the car was entrusted to North Coast Exotics, of Cleveland, Ohio for maintenance and repairs, and the account for this was in excess of $10,400. The invoice for this work is in the Owner's File and details the installation of a new clutch and slave cylinder and the replacement of timing belts, tensioners, spark plugs, and air, oil, and fuel filters, as well as all fluids. A few years later, in 2013, the car was repatriated to the UK to join, what must be the most complete collection of supercars anywhere, sharing a garage with a complete set of Ferrari 'F' cars, a McLaren F1 GTR and Mercedes CLK GTR AMG and everything in between from the Miura to a 'World Speed Record' Veyron.The Jaguar is accompanied by its, very smartly presented, XJ220 manuals in the original Smoke Grey leather owner's wallet, its V5C, older MOT/SORN ref, US-Title and ownership docs, the invoice from North Coast Exotics, HMRC import paperwork and a copy of the January 2013 RM Auctions Catalogue at which the car was soldCertified for use in the USA, fully sorted as required by renowned experts Don Law Racing at 1,805 miles (2,905 km) when returned to the UK and with still only 2,494 miles (4,014 km) from new, maintained within the vendor's collection in more recent times and with a new MOT just prior to the sale, this particular car remains a stunning example of Jaguar's iconic 'Supercar', and in arguably the best colour combination!You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveOne of only 14 F430 GTC' built. Ex-Allan Simonsen, Pierre Ehret, Jim Tafel and Alex FiggeExclusive Ferrari 4-digit chassis number, as always allocated to the factory competition carsImpressive period results: 4th at the 2008 Sebring 12 Hours, multiple ALMS top 10 finishesRunner up team in 2008 ALMS GT2 Championship-the highest placed Ferrari team; 195 points to Porsche RSR's 211Most recently prepared by Bob Houghton and ran perfectly at Ascari in 2019Eligible for a variety of high-quality championships and events including 'Peter Auto Endurance Racing Legends', 'Masters Endurance Legends' and Ferrari's own exclusive 'Clienti' eventsExtensive spares package included, with full details listedAccompanied by an impressive history file and excitingly offered at No ReserveWith the arrival of Ferrari's new F430 GT2 in 2006 came, not only Frank Stephenson's stunning and fresh design, but a whole raft of improvements over the outgoing 360 GTC. With research carried out by Ferrari's Gestione Sportiva F1 Racing Division and the build and development entrusted to the Scuderia's long-term partner, Michelotto, the F430 GT2 was a genuine leap forwards rather than just a mere evolution. A total of 25 'Series 1' GT2 cars were built for 2006. In 2007, the launch of the second series saw a further 16 examples built for worldwide GT2 competition use. For 2008, the updated and new 430 EVO GTC was introduced, with 14 examples produced in total.Built to the FIA's GT2 specifications, the F430 was tantalisingly eligible for a number of series around the world and would go on to regularly dominate its class. An F430 GT2 won its inaugural American Le Mans Series Championship in 2006 and achieved the 'Holy Trinity' in 2007, winning the GT2 Championship in the FIA GT, Le Mans Series and the ALMS for the second time.For 2008, Pierre Ehret, a German-born businessman and gentleman driver, did not want to miss out and ordered two F430 GTCs. On 16th January 2008, Ferrari invoiced Ehret for the car you see here, Chassis #F131EVOGTC 2610, and he left nothing to chance when specifying his new race car. On top of the €435,000 base price, over €30,000 was spent on options, including a data acquisition system, water and engine oil quick refilling equipment, air conditioning, 24-hour race lights, a carbon clutch and an uprated front brake cooling system.Prepared and run by Tafel Racing, the pair of F430 GTCs arrived at Sebring in March for the season opener, which also happened to be the most important race of the year: the legendary 12-Hours. The car's owner, Pierre Ehret, shared the driving of No.73 with team owner Jim Tafel and the late, great Allan Simonsen, a Danish driver who would go on to become a 'Works' driver for Aston Martin, compete at Le Mans seven times and win the Asian Le Mans GT2 Championship in 2009. After the infamously gruelling round-the-clock race was run, No.73 came home 4th in class; a sterling effort which saw it finish ahead of its sister Ferrari and just 3 laps shy of that final podium position.From Sebring, No.73 would see out the remainder of its ALMS championship with great consistency and style. Of the nine races it contested, at some of North America's most prestigious circuits like Road Atlanta and Laguna Seca, No.73 finished in the top 10 an amazing eight times - just one retirement in an otherwise outstanding season.As a result of No.73's points scoring regularity, Tafel Racing finished 2nd overall in the GT2 class of the 2008 American Le Mans Series Championship; agonisingly just 16 points behind the Flying Lizard team's 911 RSR, but a whopping 36 points clear of the works-backed Risi Competizione F430 GTC.#F131EVOGTC 2610 was retired and sold after that initial season in the ALMS, preserving it carefully for the future, and it was the car's history and incredible original condition that caught the eye of the previous owner. It was during this ownership that the Ferrari returned to the track to compete in a select few rounds of the 2012 Pirelli World Challenge series. With David Welch at the helm, the then four-year-old Ferrari achieved three further top 10 finishes against some much more advanced machinery.Recently returned to its 2008 Sebring 12 Hours livery and prepared in 2019 by Bob Houghton and run at Ascari for a private track day last year, #F131EVOGTC 2610 remains highly original throughout and is now available for sale, accompanied by a large number of spares. It's scarcely believable that this Ferrari debuted some 12 years ago, but in that time it has become eligible for some of the most exciting events where entries are highly sought after - specifically both the Peter Auto Endurance Legends Series, where it is the latest and therefore 'ultimate' GT2 Ferrari eligible and also the Masters Endurance Legends series, together with the exclusive Ferrari Challenge and GT Days.One of only 14 and with fantastic provenance, this successful 430GTC remains in excellent original condition. It's a genuine modern-classic Ferrari sports racing car and in the right hands could be very competitive. With a large spares package and knowledgeable engineers still around, this is a remarkable opportunity.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

(1935) at The Airport, Walsall, StaffordshireBox-section tube chassis, TR2 mechanicals. 1991cc, OHV, 90bhp, 4-cylinderDoretti production ceased in 1955 after only 276 had been completedSuperbly restored out in Australia by The Classic FactoryInterior restoration and reupholstery were executed by Moore Style in SydneyFinished in metallic Maroon with Tan-piped Oatmeal leather, red carpets and a black soft topQuite a number survive and there is an active Owner's ClubThe Doretti sports car was built at Walsall in Staffordshire by the Swallow Coachbuilding Company (1935) Ltd, which was the part of William Lyons' empire that specialised in building motorcycle sidecars. Somewhat paradoxically, another of Lyons' companies, Swallow Sidecars, made the 'SS' cars that adopted the 'Jaguar' name post-war. Sold by Lyons to Tube Investments after the Second World War, and facing a declining market for sidecars, Swallow used its spare capacity to launch the Doretti sports car in 1954, aimed at the Californian market. The stylish two-seater adopted the Triumph TR2 engine and running gear, which went into a bespoke chassis fabricated from Reynolds 531 tubing and clothed in aluminium outer body panels supplied by Panelcraft. The design was the work of one of TI's engineers, Frank Rainbow, who, working alone, managed to get the Doretti from drawing board to the prototype stage in a mere ten months. Robustly built with a chassis longer and wider than Triumph's TR2, the Doretti handled more securely and had more refinements including a heater and fitted luggage. The 18 strong workforce at Walsall turned out about 5 cars per week. The styling was unashamedly borrowed from the contemporary Ferrari 166MM 'Barchetta' and the name 'Doretti' was an Italian derivation of the first name of Dorothy Dean, a California Triumph distributor.Offering 100mph performance at a relatively bargain price, (although more expensive than the TR2), the Doretti sold well in California where its hand-built exclusivity had much appeal. More than half of the total production went for export. One of its chief rivals was the Jaguar XK120, consequently, Lyons was not best pleased and pressured TI to axe the Doretti, threatening to look elsewhere for the components they supplied to Jaguar. TI complied and the Doretti ceased production in 1955 after only 276 had been completed. Testimony to the build quality and the discerning nature of the original customer base is the high survival rate of the marque and model.Offered here from The Anthony Hamilton Collection, a Doretti enthusiast for several years, is a beautifully restored example of the car that rattled Jaguar in the fifties. It's finished to an excellent standard in a stunning shade of Maroon with Tan-piped Oatmeal leather, red carpets and a black soft top. The history file contains a dating certificate from the TR Register confirming the chassis number satisfies as being built by The Swallow Coachbuilding Co. (1935) at The Airport, Walsall, Staffordshire, England.The restoration to a very exacting standard was carried out in Australia by The Classic Factory, a well-respected restorer in Smithfield, Sydney, New South Wales. Their website carries photographs of the Doretti in various stages of preparation for the final finish. Their specialities include the pre-preparation of alloy bodies, as with Dorettis, the bodies were a masterclass in alloy by Panelcraft. The interior restoration and reupholstery were executed by Moore Style in Sydney incorporating the fine stitching detail synonymous with the marque.This rare, fast and superbly presented fifties British sports car would be welcome at any event and with a fascinating story to tell.

A superbly restored C1 "Fuelie" Corvette. Seriously coolSt Louis-built in early 1957. Fitted with a 283bhp, 4.6-litre V8 and manual gearboxRestored in 1996 by the world-renowned Glen Vaughn Restorations from Post Falls, IdahoFinished in Onyx Black with a fabulous bright red interior, the whole car is spectacularAll major components are 'year-correct' stamped in accordance with 1957 factory numberingThis Corvette is one of the most exacting and best restorations Silverstone Auctions has ever seenChevrolet pulled something amazing out of the hat for 1957: fuel injection. First trialled in 1956 at Sebring, the Rochester Ramjet injection was a response to Mercedes-Benz, which featured fuel-injection in the 1954 300SL. The innovation solved a fuel starvation problem caused by fuel moving to one side of the float chamber when cornering hard and allowing air into the system. Not a problem on the road as it was almost impossible to maintain the prolonged lateral forces generated by race conditions. The fuel injection system also enabled Chevrolet to gain bragging-rights by achieving, for the first time in a standard road car, 1 hp per cubic inch of displacement with their 283 cu.inch,/ 283 hp engine.To keep this development in perspective, consider this; almost all of the high-priced, supposedly advanced competition, including Jaguar, Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini, did not utilise fuel injection until the 1970s or later in their road cars. At $484.20, this one option added over 15% to the price of an entire Corvette. Buyers found it irresistible, however, with 1,040 ticking the box on the order form in '57. Current Corvette enthusiasts would acknowledge that in terms of desirability, there is a premium for a "Fuelie" (as they are often called), compared to their more mundane carburetted cousins.This fabulous example was built in the St. Louis Missouri plant in late February 1957 fitted with the 283bhp, 4.6-litre V8 and three-speed manual transmission. The car was restored in 1996 by Glen Vaughn Restorations, a world-renowned top-end business in Post Falls Idaho, who have a reputation for carrying out the whole process in house and only outsource really specialised components. Now finished in gleaming Onyx Black with an immaculate Bright Red interior, the quality of the restoration is evident by the fact that the Corvette remains at a 'Concours' level of presentation. Without a doubt, this Corvette is one of the most exacting and best restorations Silverstone Auctions has ever seen. It's just beautiful and is totally year-correct with every component from the engine, gearbox, back axle etc. being correctly numbered as from the factory. Everything, right down to the unique distributor and coil is correct and the build quality is almost beyond comparison.This stunning Corvette would grace any world event and is simply a beautiful piece of automotive history to drive and enjoy. Early Corvettes are becoming seriously cool and this lovely example, in this colour combination, and in this condition is verging on 'Polar'.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

(1935) at The Airport, Walsall, StaffordshireBox-section tube chassis, TR2 mechanicals. 1991cc, OHV, 90bhp, 4-cylinderDoretti production ceased in 1955 after only 276 had been completedSuperbly restored out in Australia by The Classic FactoryInterior restoration and reupholstery were executed by Moore Style in SydneyRoyal Blue metallic with Royal Blue-piped Red leather, red carpets and a dark blue soft topQuite a number survive and there is an active Owner's ClubThe Doretti sports car was built at Walsall in Staffordshire by the Swallow Coachbuilding Company (1935) Ltd, which was the part of William Lyons' empire that specialised in building motorcycle sidecars. Somewhat paradoxically, another of Lyons' companies, Swallow Sidecars, made the 'SS' cars that adopted the 'Jaguar' name post-war. Sold by Lyons to Tube Investments after the Second World War, and facing a declining market for sidecars, Swallow used its spare capacity to launch the Doretti sports car in 1954, aimed at the Californian market. The stylish two-seater adopted the Triumph TR2 engine and running gear, which went into a bespoke chassis fabricated from Reynolds 531 tubing and clothed in aluminium outer body panels supplied by Panelcraft. The design was the work of one of TI's engineers, Frank Rainbow, who, working alone, managed to get the Doretti from drawing board to the prototype stage in a mere ten months. Robustly built with a chassis longer and wider than Triumph's TR2, the Doretti handled more securely and had more refinements including a heater and fitted luggage. The 18 strong workforce at Walsall turned out about 5 cars per week. The styling was unashamedly borrowed from the contemporary Ferrari 166MM 'Barchetta' and the name 'Doretti' was an Italian derivation of the first name of Dorothy Dean, a California Triumph distributor. Offering 100mph performance at a relatively bargain price, (although more expensive than the TR2), the Doretti sold well in California where its hand-built exclusivity had much appeal. More than half of the total production went for export. One of its chief rivals was the Jaguar XK120, consequently, Lyons was not best pleased and pressured TI to axe the Doretti, threatening to look elsewhere for the components they supplied to Jaguar. TI complied and the Doretti ceased production in 1955 after only 276 had been completed. Testimony to the build quality and the discerning nature of the original customer base is the high survival rate of the marque and model.Offered here from The Anthony Hamilton Collection, a Doretti enthusiast for several years, is a beautifully restored example of the car that rattled Jaguar in the fifties. It's finished to an excellent standard in a simply stunning shade of Royal Blue metallic with the seating in Royal Blue-piped Red leather, red carpets and a dark blue soft top. The history file contains a dating certificate from the TR Register confirming the chassis number satisfies as being built by The Swallow Coachbuilding Co. (1935) at The Airport, Walsall, Staffordshire, England. The indicated mileage is 92,445 but, with a car restored to this standard, it's a bit academic.The restoration to a very exacting standard was carried out in Australia by The Classic Factory, a well-respected restorer in Smithfield, Sydney, New South Wales and their website carries photographs of the Doretti in various stages of preparation for the final finish. Their specialities include the pre-preparation of alloy bodies, as with Dorettis, the bodies were a masterclass in alloy by Panelcraft. The interior restoration and reupholstery were executed by Moore Style in Sydney incorporating the fine stitching detail synonymous with the marque.This rare, fast and superbly presented fifties British sports car would be welcome anywhere and with a fascinating story to tell.You can now book a one-to-one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

Celebrity provenance, right-hand drive and only 18,935 miles from new.A stunning right-hand-drive example, originally delivered new to Hong KongOnly 30,748 km from new (18,935 miles) accompanied by a great history fileTop speed was within a whisker of 160mph and 60mph arrived in 5.5 secondsFormerly owned by the presenter, businessman and classic car enthusiast, Chris Evans We welcome any inspection of this special Ferrari The Ferrari 328 GTS and GTB made their worldwide debut at the 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show and its styling was an obvious evolution of the Ferrari 308 Series, however, Pininfarina's Leonardo Fioravanti had softened his previous design and it still remained a popular choice with Ferrari aficionados.Under the engine cover is the same transversely-mounted, fuel-injected V8 from the Ferrari 308 Quattrovalvole, with an increase in displacement. By increasing both bore and stroke, the 'quattrovalvole's capacity was raised to 3,186cc which, together with a higher compression ratio, revised pistons, and an improved Marelli engine management system, lifted maximum power to 270bhp at 7,000rpm. Top speed was raised to within a whisker of 160mph (258km/h) and 60mph arrived from a standing start in 5.5 seconds. A significant difference from the 308 is the use of galvanized steel, which greatly reduces potential rust problems compared to its forebear, however, beneath the skin, the tubular steel chassis remained much as before, with all-round independent suspension by double wishbones, four-wheel servo-assisted disc brakes, and aluminium-alloy wheels, though the latter were increased in size. The interior too had come in for some subtle revision and now featured improved instruments, switchgear, and heating.Supplied new through Ferrari Hong Kong in November 1987 as a new right-hand-drive car, it remained there before coming to the UK in May 2003. Every MOT since arriving is present in the comprehensive history file which accompanies this car and all the service history bills and invoices are also present, in English, to confirm the total mileage of the car at 30,748km which equates to 18,935 miles from new.Previously owned by well-known petrol head and TV presenter, Chris Evans, he used his own mechanic to last service the car in 2017 (including new cam belts) and all the work carried out is detailed in the history file. (Chris's engineer is the ex-Ferrari specialist who used to work at Hoyle-Fox Classics who had previously maintained the car on behalf of the owner prior to Chris).It's presented in immaculate condition and has clearly benefitted from thorough and professional maintenance throughout its life. This is a great opportunity to own a very useable classic 328 GTS Ferrari that has been superbly maintained and drives extremely well, traditionally finished in Rosso Corsa with Tan leather upholstery.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

**Sale Room Notice** Waiting return of V5C from DVLA due to Cherished number retention, expected imminently. Copy of original V5C present in history file for reference.UK-supplied, right-hand drive, Concours-winning GTS with less than 20,000 miles.Only one previous owner with current since January 1978Very low mileage from new with only 19,696 milesFinished in Argento Metallizzato with light blue leather and dark blue carpetsFerrari Owners Club multiple Concours winning with supporting evidence & scoringServiced, new cambelts and MOT completed September 2019 (£4,000)Fastidious restoration, fully documented with photographs and invoices etcLarge and comprehensive history file including original Ferrari Warranty CardContinues to maintain its Concours-winning quality by adopting a 'no expense spared' guardianshipThe new Dino 246GT was an absolute delight from all angles, its beauty, handling, engine note, mid-engined layout, unusually good all-round visibility and comparative affordability made it absolutely irresistible. The voluptuous bodywork, which many people regard as the prettiest ever to grace a road-going Ferrari, was designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti and covered a tubular chassis which carried wishbone independent suspension at each corner. The 190bhp engine, with four overhead camshafts, was mounted transversely behind the driver and in front of the rear axle. Power to the wheels was transmitted via drop gears to the transverse 5-speed gearbox, in unit with the differential and engine sump. With rack and pinion steering and a mid-engined configuration, it was a revelation in terms of road holding and stability, nothing had been made like this before and it left its larger V12-engined siblings in its wake.This was a very modern car and a real step in Ferrari history announcing a new age for Ferrari in concept and design. Sparkling acceleration and a top speed of 145mph combined with a comfortable interior and some usable boot space meant that it was a genuine 'Grand Touring' car.There was an addition to the range in 1972 when the Spider version was introduced. With the exception of the detachable roof there was little difference between the two models, but the 246GTS, as it was designated, has become all the more desirable as a collector's car, particularly as only 1,274 were produced in its three years of production.This magnificent Concours-winning 246GT Spider was first registered on the 18th of May 1973 and remains a two-owners from new example with the current owner having enjoyed it for the last 42 years. A passionate Formula One fan and sports car enthusiast, it was his dream to own a Ferrari and that dream came true in January 1978 when he was able to buy a shiny Dino (at that point in Dino Blue) that was less than five years old from a fellow businessman in Yorkshire.The Ferrari was his pride and joy and was used lightly over the years. He dedicated much time and care to maintaining it to an exceptional standard, however, it is a Ferrari and after 20 years, and having decided to keep the car forever, the time had come for more serious attention.A professional two-year restoration was commenced in 1998 using the services of a number of the areas most knowledgeable experts and marque specialists. The bodywork was completely stripped back to bare metal, corroded panels replaced and joints/seams professionally lead-loaded throughout. The chassis was bead blasted and refinished in satin black along with the suspension components. The car was painted in Argento Metallizzato with such care that the quality of finish subsequently impressed even the most hard-nosed of Concours Judges. It was then carefully reassembled (it was a 2-year restoration) and benefitted from a new windscreen, driver's and passenger door glass, new suspension bushes, window, door and roof seals. Whilst the engine was out, it was rebuilt with new pistons, valves and seats, cylinder heads skimmed, new clutch assembly and all associated gaskets and fixings. It was then popped back into the refurbished engine bay and the process of recommissioning and getting the Ferrari running, stopping and handling correctly began. All of this work with the associated invoices can be inspected in the A4 ring-binder history file that's with the car.Now that the Dino was restored to an immaculate condition, our vendor and his wife decided to try their hand at Ferrari Owners Club Concours and they were rewarded with a First in Class in July 2003. It wasn't entered to Concours in 2004 but was entered again in 2005 and awarded a worthy Third. With the car are the score sheets and supporting correspondence from the Ferrari Owners Club verifying such prestigious achievements.Our vendor continued to enjoy his car and trusted the expertise of the staff at Strasse (Porsche) for ongoing maintenance and care which they carried out to the highest of standards. However, over more recent years, the Ferrari has been in dry storage and hardly used and, in order to prepare it for sale, it has been subject to a thorough recommission, including a full service, cambelt replacement and a fresh MOT. The current indicated mileage is 19,696 from new supported by the detailed history file.This remarkable little car has been part of a caring family for 42 years and it shows. It's simply delightful, in sparkling condition, and now ready for a new custodian and further adventures, be those Ferrari Club Concours or simply stowing the lid and setting off for the Cotswolds on a sunny afternoon. Either way, you will have to be careful, as this may well turn out to be the one car that you want to keep forever.

UK-spec, right-hand drive and only 14,233 miles.UK-spec right-hand drive 512 BBi, built in late 1982 and imported by Maranello ConcessionairesSupplied new in Jersey by official Ferrari agent Melbourne Garage Ltd, February 19831 of only 43 right-hand drive cars produced and indicating just 14,233 miles (atoc)Finished in Rosso and Nero, black leather interior with Rosso carpetsHistory file includes factory records, service/maintenance records and owner's handbooksRemarkably well preserved and maintained by the same Ferrari mechanic on Jersey for 31 yearsThe streamlined, low and shapely lines of the 365 GT/4 Berlinetta Boxer, and its successor, the carburetted and subsequently injected 512, were to dictate the styling approach at Maranello for years to come. Launched to compete with the Lamborghini Muira and upgraded to compete with its successor, the Countach, the 'BB' was the first production Ferrari to be fitted with the boxer-type 12-cylinder engine derived from the Formula 1 unit of the period. The architecture was not that of the classic front-engined and rather upright, V12 Ferraris of old and it could be argued that the BB was the first 'proper' mid-engined Ferrari, as the entry-level 246 'Dino' never wore the Ferrari badge and had six fewer cylinders.The third version of the BB was launched at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1981. The styling was left largely unaltered, but the car now featured an advanced, and far more reliable, Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection system offering turn-key performance, and was named the 512 BBi, the 'i' of course donating injection. Maranello's investment in mid-engine engineering ensured the BB's stylistic DNA was to be around until production of the Ferrari 328 ended in 1989, some 18 years since the launch of the original Boxer, the 365 BB.Offered here is a beautiful 512BBi manufactured in December 1982, imported by Maranello Concessionaires in January and supplied new by Melbourne Garages Ltd in February 1983 to its first and only owner on the island. Factory finished with Rosso Corsa paint over black and black leather seats with cloth inserts with Rosso carpets, a timeless combination well suited to this model. Over 31 years in Jersey this example had been mostly serviced by one single Ferrari technician with letters on file confirming the low mileage. Today the speedometer indicates a mere 14,233 miles at the time of cataloguing and can be warranted by the aforementioned documents within the file. The car appears remarkably well preserved with both exterior paint and interior trim presenting very well, we believe that with some detailing to the engine compartment this example could be a concours contender.Accompanied by a detailed history file including copies of records from the Ferrari archive confirming original colours, detailed accounts of maintenance over the years, correspondence from the family of the original owner, hand-books and an MOT valid to July 2021.

A model of the Timossi - Ferrari racing hydroplane Arno XI, (1951), with polished, planked and pinned mahogany hull, chrome-plated brightwork fittings including propeller, steering gear and rudder, Ferrari-red engine cowling inscribed Nando Dell ?Orto, company insignia and exhaust pipes, fitted cockpit with stitched leather seat, helm, dials and wind shield, loosely mounted on a black display stand. Overall measurements 23 x 89cm.The Arno XI was built to the order of Achille Castoldi by the Timossi yard on Lake Como in order to achieve a record speed for the class. Enzo Ferrari was persuaded to provide a 4.5 litre V12 engine which, when twin superchargers were added, generated an astonishing 502bhp which drove the boat to 150.19mph in October 1953 - a record which still stands for an 800kg boat. The vessel is still extant and can be seen occasionally on Lake Como; it changed hands in May 2012 for E868,000.

XII.1548), the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (acc. No. 32.75.111), the Musée Royal de l~Armée et d~Histoire, Brussels (inv. no. IX/6); the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna (inv. no D271); the Kienbusch Collection, The Philadelphia Museum of Art (acc. No. 635) and the Musée Rath, Geneva (inv. no. K182). For an extensive list of known examples see Godoy, 1993, cat. No. 8, p. 27 and 143. Hans Paumgartner is recorded circa 1540-90 in Graz and worked at the court of Charles II, Archduke of Styria. Two highly decorated firearms by this maker are preserved in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna (inv. no. A2305) and the Art Institute of Chicago (acc. no. 1982.2266) respectively, the latter being made for Archduke Charles II. An apparently unsigned wheel-lock rifle in Vienna (inv. no. D272) is decorated with inlay of the same unusual design, notably the unicorn horns, monsters and foliage. See Schedelman 1972, pp. 8-9 and 24-25 and Karcheski Jr. 1995, p. 75. The barrelsmith is possibly Antonio Ferrari who, along with his brother Paolo, is mentioned as archibusari in the Brescian tax lists of 1588, 1590 and 1606. An alternative candidate is Antonio Carrara, a merchant who was entrusted, with Apollonio Chinell, in 1591 with the fontego of military barrels in Brescia and, in 1594, supplying guns to local troops in the Venetian region. Both attributions might be considered tenuous in light of the exuberant decoration of the barrel, perhaps the work of a specialist iron chiseller rather than a barrelsmith. See di Carpegna 1997, p. 44 and 116.
