The ex-Sir Stirling Moss, Tony Brooks, Roy Salvadori, Ken Wharton1952 Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica MkII SportsRegistration no. XMG 6Chassis no. 421/200/FN176AEngine no. BS4/MK2/505*Significant in-period competition history*Rebuilt in the 2000s*Raced competitively*FIA and HTP papers Footnotes:'XMG 6' has raced extensively in the Motor Racing Legends and Royal Automobile Club Woodcote Trophy series for many seasons. It is a fully FIA and HTP compliant 1950s competition car, whose significant history is associated with legendary greats such as Sir Stirling Moss, Tony Brooks, and Roy Salvadori. Powered by a 2.0-litre six-cylinder Bristol engine, this Le Mans Replica Mark II, chassis number 'FN176', was driven by Stirling Moss at Monaco and was the second of seven MkII Le Mans Replicas built on the parallel tube chassis. It was fitted with a Bristol BS1 engine; ultra close-ratio gearbox; lightweight Marston radiator and oil cooler; Alfin brake drums with lightened back plates; and lightened bolt-on Austin wheels. The narrower chassis allowed the body to be built to minimum race regulations and was 36' wide at the cockpit with no passenger door. There was a 15½-gallon aluminium fuel tank and the spare wheel was mounted vertically in the boot with a detachable tail section.The Le Mans Replica was the most sporting model produced by Frazer Nash in its post-war era. Initially called the Competition model, it was renamed in honour of the Frazer Nash that finished 3rd overall at Le Mans in 1949. Only 29 were made between 1949 and 1954, of which only seven were the much rarer MkII version.This Le Mans Replica was completed in May 1952 and retained as a works race and development car. After completion, it competed in the Prix de Monte Carlo, a race for 2-litre sports cars held on 1st June 1952 as a support race for the Monaco Grand Prix. Stirling Moss set the fastest time in practice to put the car on pole position, but retired whilst disputing 2nd place in the race.Ken Wharton was then engaged as works driver and he finished 2nd in the car at the Jersey Road Race on 10th July 1952. 'FN176' then won the 100-mile race for sports cars up to 2 litres at Boreham on 2nd August, beating Mike Hawthorn. Wharton then raced the car at Thruxton (3rd), Shelsley Walsh (1st in class), Goodwood (3rd), Castle Coombe (3rd), and Charterhall (4th). At Goodwood in September Wharton used the car in a Formula 2 race.With a one minute start over larger cars (DB3S Aston Martins, C-Type Jaguars and a 4.1-litre Ferrari) 'FN176' finished 2nd on handicap (3rd on distance covered) in the British Empire Trophy Race on the Isle of Man on 18th June 1953. Tony Brooks then finished 2nd (2-litre class), in the Unlimited Sports Car Race supporting the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on 18th July. Roy Salvadori was at the wheel at Snetterton on 25th July and won the 2-litre sports car race as well as competing in the Formula 2 race. The car then finished 2nd at Goodwood on 28th September in a five-lap sports car race.This Le Mans Replica was rebuilt during July-August 1954 and renumbered as chassis number 'FN176A'. The chassis was lightened and fitted with ZF limited-slip differential and light alloy-rimmed wire wheels. The engine was changed for 'BS4/504' and a new aluminium-alloy body was fitted. The body was similar to a Le Mans MkII but had a different shaped nose and grille. The colour was Bristol Green. The car was raced by Ken Wharton at Aintree on 2nd October 1954 where it finished 3rd in class, then by Tony Brooks at Snetterton on 9th October finishing 4th in class.At Goodwood on Easter Monday, 11th April 1955, Brooks finished 2nd in a five-lap race for 2-litre sports cars. He then won the 2-litre class at Silverstone's International Trophy Meeting on 7th May. At Goodwood on 30th May this Le Mans Replica finished 4th (2nd in class).In mid-1955 the aluminium-alloy body was removed from the chassis and replaced with a full-width Microplas Mistral glassfibre body. The car's only race in this configuration was the Dundrod TT on 17th September 1955, where Ken Wharton was involved in a fiery multiple pile-up just after Deer's Leap on the second lap. The car was very badly damaged and taken back to Isleworth. The 1954/5 aluminium-alloy body remained at the Falcon Works, still with the Frazer Nash brass plate on the bulkhead stamped '421/200/176A'. This body was subsequently fitted to a Singer 9 chassis and retained the registration 'XMG 6'.In the 1970s, renowned engineer, Dick Crosthwaite, was building a small run of replica Frazer Nash cars using his own chassis fitted with various Nash and Bristol parts. The chassis plate and registration number 'XMG 6' were then applied to the Crosthwaite Le Mans Replica, the original Frazer Nash aluminium-alloy body of 1954 being acquired via a third party.After acquiring the original body, complete with its chassis plate and registration number, Jonathan Bradburn commissioned renowned Frazer Nash expert, Bill Roberts, to return 'FN176A' to its 1954 configuration using all the correct original parts. The restoration was completed in the early 2000s. 'XMG 6' has been racing competitively over the last few seasons.Frazer Nash's Le Mans Replica is arguably the most highly regarded of all post-war cycle-mudguard sports-racing cars, and this supremely versatile model is eligible for all the most prestigious historic motor sports events: Monaco, Mile, Miglia, Targa Florio, Goodwood, etc. Only infrequently are they offered for public sale, which makes 'FN176A' - associated with some of the biggest names in the history of British motor sport - a rare opportunity for the discerning collector or historic racing competitor.

Lot 222
Offered from the estate of the late John Surtees, CBE1957 BMW 503 3.2-Litre CabrioletRegistration no. BEE 46Chassis no. 69141•One of only 138 cabriolets made•One of only three right-hand drive examples•First registered to AFN Ltd for Mrs Aldington•Two owners from new•Restored while in John Surtees' ownership Footnotes:'It was evident that the factory had yet another classic in its own time as they had with the 328 two decades earlier. The wholly individual coupé or convertible was a true follower of the 328 traditions... one of the very few non-Italian body designs to be assured of classic status from the 'fifties...' - Sloniger and Von Fersen on the BMW 503, German High Performance Cars, 1894-1965.At the end of WW2, BMW was in a much worse state than Mercedes- Benz in Stuttgart because one of its major plants – the old Dixi works at Eisenach in Saxony - was within the Russian Zone and would soon be cut off from the West behind the 'Iron Curtain'. Nevertheless, manufacture of what would later be called 'EMW' cars recommenced at Eisenach under Russian control almost as soon as hostilities ceased. BMW's Munich factory though, had been badly damaged by Allied bombing and for the next few years a much-reduced workforce struggled on producing household utensils, agricultural machinery, bicycles and railway brake sets. It would be 1948 before deliveries of BMW motorcycles restarted and another four years before the first true BMW car of the post-war era emerged. BMW recommenced car production in 1952 with the introduction of the 501 luxury saloon, a strange choice for an impoverished country still recovering from the ravages of war. The 501 had been announced in 1951 and first appeared with a development of the company's pre-war six-cylinder engine before gaining a much needed performance boost, in the form of a 2.6-litre V8, in 1954. Designed by Alfred Böning, this new power unit had been inspired by American V8s but was constructed of aluminium alloy rather than cast iron. Towards the end of 1955 a 3.2-litre version was introduced and the big saloon's model designation changed to '502'. Clearly, this new state-of-the-art V8 had considerable potential as a sports car engine. Sales Director Hanns Grewenig had been pressing for a V8-engined sports car for some time but it was not until Mercedes-Benz introduced the 300 SL that the project was given the green light. BMW was encouraged by Austrian-born entrepreneur Max Hoffman, at that time the US importer of various European makes, who knew just the man to style the car: Count Albrecht von Goertz, an independent industrial designer who had worked for the legendary Raymond Loewy on the latter's trend-setting Studebakers. Designer of everything from fountain pens to furniture, Goertz had never before styled an entire car and would not work for BMW again until the 1980s, by which time he had produced another classic of automobile styling: the Datsun 240Z. Goertz was commissioned to produce two different designs, both of which debuted in prototype form at the Frankfurt Auto Show towards the end of 1955. The more conservative of the two – the 503 – retained the 502 saloon's 2,834mm wheelbase chassis, suspension and centrally mounted, column-change gearbox, while the 507 was built on a much shorter wheelbase, which necessitated attaching the gearbox directly to the engine. (The Series II 503 - introduced in 1957 - used the 507-type engine/transmission arrangement complete with floor-mounted change). As installed in the alloy-bodied 503, the 3.2-litre V8 produced 140bhp, which was good enough for a top speed of 118mph (190km/h). With its long bonnet, 2+2 seating and generously sized boot, the 503 looked every inch the elegant Grande Routière. Even Pinin Farina was impressed, declaring it to be the most beautiful car in the show. Had the 507 not debuted at the same time, it would no doubt have also been the most memorable. Expensive and exclusive, the 503 was built both as a closed coupé and a cabriolet, only 206 of the former and 138 of the latter being delivered between 1956 and 1960. BMW's high-performance, V8-engined cars of the 1950s attracted a small but discerning clientele, including some very well known names from the motor sporting world. The example offered here belonged to the late John Surtees, four-time motorcycling World Champion in the 500cc class and Formula 1 World Champion in 1964. The car was registered to him on 6th August 1992 and is offered for sale now directly from the Surtees family.In an undated document on file, John states that his car was built specially for Mrs Aldington of the eponymous family that owned AFN Ltd, which had arisen from the old Frazer Nash company in 1926. One of only six right-hand drive BMW 503s made, of which three were cabriolets, chassis number '69141' was first registered to AFN Ltd, Falcon Works, Isleworth on 19th September 1957. This car's rather special registration, 'BEE 46', is a reference to Mrs Aldington's gynaecologist (a Dr Bee) who was allowed to use the car. AFN had been BMW importers since the 1930s and in 1953 began importing Porsches, becoming the official importer for Great Britain in 1956. This arrangement lasted until 1965 when Porsche Cars Great Britain was formed. Aldington family members remained on the board of this company until John Aldington sold out to Porsche in 1987.In John Surtees' own words: 'When Porsche purchased the AFN facilities one of the assets they still had was the 503. A friend of mine, who was well aware of my keen interest in BMWs, phoned me to say they had something that was ideal for me. I purchased the car and fortunately it was in very sound condition having just been stored at the back of the workshop. Working with some people well versed in German car restoration I restored the car to a condition that satisfied me. It looks superb, runs likewise and everything that was original works including the foldaway roof operated by an hydraulic pump.'Additional documentation consists of details of works carried out during John Surtees' ownership and a V5C Registration Certificate in his name recording AFN Ltd as the first owner. A rare right-hand drive example of an exclusive limited edition model, this beautiful BMW 503 Cabriolet has the unique cachet of belonging to the only man to have been World Champion on both two and four wheels.

The Cooper Car Co's Last-Built Single-Seater, the Ex-Peter Rehl Daytona Road Race of Champions-winning1969 Cooper-Chevrolet T90 Formula A/5000 Racing Single-SeaterChassis no. F1C/3/69*Final Cooper Single Seater model*One of only three cars built*Period race winning career, including 'Road Race of Champions'*Exquisitely restoredFootnotes:This remarkable Formula A/5000 Cooper-Chevrolet has tremendous historic significance in that it is the very last single-seater competition car ever to be built by the legendary Cooper Car Company in its late-period home factory at Canada Road, Byfleet, Surrey in the south-east of England.It is the last of only three Formula A/5000 5-litre Cooper T90s constructed for 1969, two of which exhibited at that January's Racing Car Show in London, neither of which initially sold there. The design was based around a robust light-alloy-skinned monocoque hull derived from Cooper's contemporary T86B Formula 1 chassis. While the prototype T90 'F1C/1/68' was subsequently campaigned in three late-year British Formula 5000 rounds by Chris Warwick-Drake – later passing to Andrew Goodfellow for hill-climbing in 1972 – the second chassis 'F1C/2/69' would only become active in 1970, in the hands of Aston Martin development engineer/driver Peter Hawtin who sadly crashed fatally in his car at Oulton Park in September, 1971.Meanwhile this now exquisitely rebuilt, third and last Cooper-Chevrolet T90 – chassis 'F1C/3/69' – became the only one to find an immediate home. It was with American Cooper enthusiast – and already well-known driver of an always well-prepared Formula B Cooper single-seater – Peter Rehl. He contested not only Continental Championship Formula A (the US equivalent of 5-litre British, European, Antipodean and South African Formula 5000) but also a busy programme of more minor 'club-level' US events. At the National level he not only won two frontline races, at Lime Rock and Bryar, but also dominated the end of season SCCA Championship Run-Offs at Daytona International Speedway.The frontline racing record of Peter Rehl's Cooper-Chevrolet T90 now offered here is as follows:July 6, 1969 – SCCA National, Lime Rock – Peter Rehl – Cooper-Chevrolet T90 – FIRSTJuly 20, 1969 – Badger '200', Elkhart Lake - Peter Rehl – Cooper-Chevrolet T90 – 7thAugust 2, 1969 – Schaefer Grand Prix, Lime Rock - Peter Rehl – Cooper-Chevrolet T90 – 9thAugust 31, 1969 – SCCA National, Bryar Motorsports Park - Peter Rehl – Cooper-Chevrolet T90 – FIRSTSeptember 1, 1969 – Lime Rock Grand Prix - Peter Rehl – Cooper-Chevrolet T90 – 7thSeptember 7, 1969 – Ste Jovite (Canada) - Peter Rehl – Cooper-Chevrolet T90 – Retired '27th'November 29, 1969 – Road Race of Champions, Daytona - Peter Rehl – Cooper-Chevrolet T90 – FIRSTApril 19, 1970 – Riverside Grand Prix - Peter Rehl – Cooper-Chevrolet T90 – 24thWhen he advertised the car for sale in 1971 Peter Rehl amusingly derided the US West Coast-based Formula A opposition that he had faced, for claiming 500bhp or more from their Chevrolet engines as tuned for them by such specialists as Al Bartz and Traco Engineering. His Cooper had simply blown them all away during the Daytona run-offs which he had won so handsomely.In new hands 'F1C/3/69 – the last-ever 'real' Cooper – subsequently contested several National events and one more professional Formula 5000 race before beginning a long sojourn in a private collection in eastern Massachusetts. Once acquired by the present vendors, this evocative and potent racing Cooper has benefited from extensive yet sensitive restoration, respectful to its unique history. Those who contributed craftsmanship, experience and detail knowledge to the project not only included original owners Peter Rehl and Dick Yagami, Pat Prince of Prince Racing, John Grubb at J&J Racing, Phil Harris at TrueChoice and Bill McCurdy of Williams Racing, but also Bob McKee of McKee Engineering and original Cooper Car Co specialist Tony Whitburn who led this car's original build at Canada Road, Byfleet back in 1969.The seller reports that the car has been run infrequently post restoration, and subsequently carefully 'pickled'/drained of fluids such that it is ready for its next outing. Accompanying the car are its original wheels, which might serve as decoration than use, and the original alloy nose piece, itself an appealing item.The Cooper Car Company's final closure was announced on May 22, 1969. It had been a terrific ride, and Cooper cars today are still campaigned very competitively in Historic Formula 1, 2 and 3, Formula B and Atlantic, plus sports-racing car form almost every weekend somewhere in the world. This Road Race of Champions-winning Cooper-Chevrolet T90 has been beautifully restored to rejoin that venerable coterie.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * N* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.N If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, undertaken by Bonhams upon a successful sale, to facilitate the registration of the machine here in the UK.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from The Chester Collection1964 Aston Martin DB5 Sports SaloonRegistration no. BXA 850BChassis no. DB5/1436/R*Six owners from new*Matching numbers*Well documented history*Extensive professional restoration 2016-2018Footnotes:Chassis number '1436/R' was sold new by supplying dealership Callanders on 21st March 1964. The original copy guarantee form records chrome road wheels, heated rear screen, Motorola 818 radio, power operated aerial, two Marchal fog lamps, and two wing mirrors as items of additional equipment, while the car's original colour scheme was Aegean Blue with White Gold Connolly leather interior trim. '1436/R' has had six owners from new. The first onward sale, recorded by a Bill of Sale, was on 10th November 1977 when Paradise Garage of Parsons Green, West London sold the Aston to Lt Cdr G Q S Parker, RN for £3,850. The comprehensive history file records a bare-metal re-spray completed in May 1985 for the sum of £1,840. At this point in time, '1436/R' was painted a light Mink Brown. There are numerous bills on file for the period 1978–1989 from Aston Service Dorset and many other specialists, while a further bill on file dated 30th June 1989 from Village Industries Ltd of Stafford is for substantial mechanical repairs totalling £1,688.51. Lt Cdr Parker owned the Aston for some 14 years, using it as a daily driver until 7th September 1991 when it was sold to a Mr Brian Hall-Tomkin of Devon for £31,500. There is a letter on file dated 22nd July 1991 to Bob Fountain of Aston Workshop from Mr Hall-Tomkin asking him to find a DB5.The car next changed hands on 25th July 1993, passing to Mr G Kelsey of South London for in the region of £23,000. There are many bills on file dating from Mr Kelsey's ownership from marque specialists Pugsley & Lewis for servicing and repairs to the car for the period 1995 to 2013. There are also some 25 MoTs in the history file dating from 1981 (at 60,352 miles) up to the present day at 103.480. The car was little used during Mr Kelsey's ownership, and in the last 24 years has only covered some 6,700 miles. The numerous invoices on file substantiate the mileage records during the earlier period.In 2013, the DB5 was purchased by the immediately preceding owner, who decided to have it restored in 2016. Completed in 2018, '1436/R' is now resplendent in the classic combination of Silver Birch paintwork with a black leather interior. Undertaken by marque specialists Prestige Paintworks of Golden Cross, East Sussex, the restoration of the body and paintwork took in excess of 1,200 hours and cost £60,000 excluding the refurbishment of the chrome (£4,728). On completion of the bodywork, the car was returned to Pugsley & Lewis, who carried out a comprehensive mechanical restoration and interior refresh costing £135,999 (bill on file). The current vendor acquired the car in May 2019, since when it has been carefully stored at a professional facility and checked over regularly by his own mechanic. Driving superbly and looking absolutely immaculate, this beautiful Aston Martin DB5 is 'on the button' and ready to delight its fortunate next custodian.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1967 Porsche 912 'SWB' CoupéRegistration no. not UK registeredChassis no. 12802007*Present ownership since 1993*Monte Carlo Historic and Rally Costa Brava Historic participant*Five-speed manual transmission*Re-commissioned at the end of 2019*Registered in SpainFootnotes:A 'modern classic' if ever there was one, Porsche's long-running 911 arrived in 1964, replacing the 356 and providing the Stuttgart manufacturer with a product worthy of comparison with the finest sports cars from Britain and Italy. The 356's rear-engined layout was retained, but the 911 switched to unitary construction for the bodyshell and dropped the 356's VW-based suspension in favour of a more modern McPherson strut and trailing arm arrangement. In its first incarnation, the 911's single-overhead-camshaft, air-cooled flat six displaced 1,991cc and produced 130bhp; progressively enlarged and developed, it would eventually grow to more than 3 litres and, in turbo-charged form, put out well over 300 horsepower. Although widely acclaimed, the 911 was necessarily expensive, a shortcoming that Porsche addressed by offering the 912 which, though outwardly identical, was powered by the 356's 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine. As installed in the 912 the latter produced 90bhp, some 40 horsepower less than the 911's six, but this deficit was offset by significantly reduced weight, resulting in a better balanced car with greatly improved road manners.The 911 gearbox was used, offering a choice of four or five speeds. Despite being down on power, the 912 had a respectable top speed of 191kkm/h (119mph). A little over 30,000 were produced at Karmann's works (all on the original short-wheelbase chassis) between 1965 and 1968, and today the 912 is a relative rarity when compared with its better known sibling. A desirable five-speed model, this left-hand drive 912 has belonged to the current vendor since 1993. Since then it has participated in Porsche Parades around Europe and in various regularity rallies including the Monte Carlo Historic (2009); Rally Costa Brava Historic (2008 and 2009); and others. Since 2010 the Porsche has been kept in storage and used only infrequently. It was re-commissioned at the end of 2019 and passed the technical inspection, but has not been used since then. The re-commissioning included a re-spray, new body rubbers, and a major engine service (new gaskets, seals, etc). Maintained by one of the best Porsche workshops in Barcelona, the Porsche has a valid technical control and is described by the private vendor as in good condition throughout. A period-correct rally light and a fire extinguisher are the only notified deviations from factory specification.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: NN If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, undertaken by Bonhams upon a successful sale, to facilitate the registration of the machine here in the UK.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A practical touring car, this, with its wide doors and capacious luggage space, yet it has a sheer beauty of line which easily beats the Italians at their own particular game.' There have been few better summaries of the E-Type's manifest virtues than the forgoing, penned by the inimitable John Bolster for Autosport shortly after the car's debut. Conceived and developed as an open sports car, the Jaguar E-Type debuted at the Geneva Salon in March 1961 in Coupé form. The car caused a sensation - spontaneous applause breaking out at the unveiling - with its instantly classic lines and a 150mph top speed. The newcomer's design owed much to that of the Le Mans-winning D-Type sports-racer, a monocoque tub forming the main structure while a tubular spaceframe extended forwards to support the engine. The latter was the 3.8-litre, triple-carburettor, 'S' unit first offered as an option on the preceding XK150. Its engine aside, only in terms of its transmission did the E-Type represent no significant advance over the XK150, whose durable four-speed Moss gearbox it retained. With a claimed 265bhp available, E-Type's performance did not disappoint; firstly, because it weighed around 500lbs less than the XK150 and secondly because aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer used experience gained with the D-Type to create one of the most elegant and efficient shapes ever to grace a motor car. Taller drivers though, could find the interior somewhat lacking in space, a criticism addressed by the introduction of foot wells (and other, more minor modifications) early in 1962. Today, the E-Types graceful lines live on in modern Jaguar sports cars, and there can be little doubt that William Lyons' sublime creation would feature in any knowledgeable enthusiast's 'Top Ten' of the world's most beautiful cars of all time. Indeed, even Enzo Ferrari felt obliged to concede that the E-type was 'the most beautiful car ever made'. This 'Series 1' E-Type coupé was manufactured on 30th October 1962 and supplied by Henlys Ltd of London to its first owner Mr G S Baduel Esq of London SW1 on 18th April 1963. Ordered in Opalescent Silver Blue with light blue leather interior, the car was equipped with a Radiomobile 900T stereo system. The E-Type was issued with the London registration mark '698 WKT'.A matching-numbers example, the E-Type was subject to a complete 'last nut and bolt' restoration to original factory specification by leading Jaguar specialists Fullbridge Carriage Company in 1993, the engine and gearbox being rebuilt by GSE Motorsport (Gordon Spooner Engineering Motorsport). The interior is believed original. Only some 8,500 miles have been covered since the restoration and the car is described by the vendor as in generally excellent condition, with good bodywork and paint. A very correct and desirable Series 1, the car is offered with a comprehensive history file containing restoration invoices, current MoT, V5C document, and a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from The Chester Collection, One of only 22 right-hand drive examples1969 Ferrari 365 GTCCoachwork by PininfarinaRegistration no. EGU 132HChassis no. 12747*One of only 150 Ferrari 365 GTCs built*Delivered new to Crepaldi Automobili in Italy*Subsequent ownership in Canada and the USA*Professionally restored in the UK by Colin Clarke circa 1990/1991Footnotes:'Pininfarina clothed it all in a beautifully refined bodyshell employing the nose lines of the 500 Superfast and the tail treatment of the contemporary 275 GTS. It was built at Grugliasco by Pininfarina themselves...' - Hans Tanner & Doug Nye, 'Ferrari', 1984. In essence a closed version of the 275 GTS, the 330 GTC – immediate forerunner of the 365 GTC - was first shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1966. Beneath the understated Pininfarina coachwork there was the 4.0-litre version of Ferrari's familiar Colombo-designed two-cam 60-degree V12 (as used in the 330GT 2+2) mated to a five-speed all-synchromesh transaxle. The chassis was of relatively short wheelbase (2,400mm) and the suspension independent all round by wishbones and coil springs. Naturally, there were disc brakes on all four wheels. Introduced late in 1968 as a replacement for the 330 GTC and given its first public airing at Geneva in March 1969, the 365 GTC was virtually identical in appearance apart from engine cooling vents relocated in the bonnet, a feature it shared with last of the 330s. Installing an 81mm-bore 4.4-litre V12 in place of the 300 GTC's 4.0-litre unit boosted mid-range torque and flexibility while maximum power was raised to 320bhp at 6,600rpm; acceleration improved markedly and the luxury coupés top speed increased to over 150mph. Less obvious to the eye were the refinements made to the drive-train that achieved a marked reduction in cabin noise, a sign that Ferrari understood that 365 GTC customers valued comfort as well as high performance. A sumptuous leather-trimmed interior, electric windows, and heated rear screen were standard equipment, while air conditioning could be ordered as an option. Like so many European sports cars, the 365 GTC (and convertible 365 GTS) would fall victim to increasingly stringent US safety and emissions legislation, production ceasing after less than one year during which time around 150 GTC and 20 GTS models left the factory, of which only 22 were right-hand drive. The right-hand drive example offered here was delivered new to the official Ferrari dealer Crepaldi Automobili in Milan finished in Azzurro Metallizzato with Nero Connolly hide interior. It may have been intended for a customer in South Africa, hence the right-hand drive configuration and km/h speedometer (both original features). The first owner is not known. In 1971 the Ferrari was sold to Ron Selig, a resident of Montreal, Canada, and in 1986 was sold by him to David C Nelson of Akron, Ohio. Two years later, in 1988, the car was sold to Sean Quigley in the UK and restored for him by Colin Clarke circa 1990/1991, the colour scheme being changed to dark grey metallic with light grey interior. In 2004 the Ferrari was sold to Andrew Seward in the UK, who had the car re-commissioned by Ferrari expert Neil Corns and re-trimmed in red. The car then went on to win the Paul Baber Trophy at the Ferrari Club Concours at Boughton House in 2005. Meticulously maintained thereafter, it has been re-trimmed again, on this last occasion in black, and fitted with period-correct air conditioning.The current vendor purchased the Ferrari towards the end of 2018, since when it has been carefully stored at a professional facility and checked over regularly by his own mechanic. Accompanying documentation consists of restoration invoices, a Massini Report, and a V5C Registration Certificate. Strikingly handsome, startlingly fast and much under-rated, this magnificent Ferrari Gran Turismo appears at auction only infrequently, making this rare right-hand drive car an opportunity not to be missed.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1935 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Open TourerRegistration no. KS 8969Chassis no. GBJ38Engine no. 524H•Originally a Hooper limousine•Open tourer body designed by Osmond Rivers of Hooper & Co•Restored and re-bodied in the mid/late 1960s•Single family ownership from 1966 to 2018 Footnotes:First registered on 1st November 1935, this Rolls-Royce 20/25 was purchased by previous owner Sydney Creamer, of the eponymous Kensington-based Jaguar agency, from Mr D J Petty of the Manor House, Welwyn, Hertfordshire on 25th April 1966 for the sum of £175. Writing in June 2002 (document on file) he related: 'It was then fitted with its original and very heavy Hooper limousine body. The purchase was fortunate because of the quality of the fittings in the body, such as the door furniture, radiator, headlamps, etc, all of which could be used to benefit the restoration of the car. 'I was introduced to Mr Osmond Rivers, who had started life as an apprentice at Hooper Motor Bodies Ltd and during the course of his career had risen to be Managing Director and Chief Designer for the company. I knew the style of the body I had in mind and made some sketches and proposed them to Mr Rivers. He offered to design a body for me of the style I had described, providing I allowed him to see through the making of the body. 'Osmond Rivers examined the limousine body... and advised me to dispose of the main part of the body but retain the base or platform. This was in good order and of course it fitted the chassis perfectly and would form the basis of the new coachwork. I finished the restoration of the chassis and the body was duly built by me under the direction of Mr Rivers. The only difficulty encountered was at the end when it came to adjusting brakes and the carburettor. These were carried out by the Rolls-Royce Service Department at Hyde Road on instructions of Mr Ron Heynes, who advised swift action as the only person left in his department capable of accurately adjusting the brakes was retiring at the end of the month. At the same time, they attended to the carburettor. 'Amongst all the bills that I have today is that of Mr Rivers for designing the body... and seeing me through the making of it. The sum? 25 guineas, or £26. When the car was finished I gave it to my wife Joan as a wedding anniversary present. She still owns it and I am the unpaid chauffeur.'The current vendor inherited the Rolls-Royce from Mrs Joan Creamer upon her death in 2018. Although starting 'on the button', the car has seen little use in recent years and the vendor advises that it may require some light re-commissioning before regular use. Correspondence between Messrs Creamer and Osmond Rivers is on file together with a selection of photographs, an old-style continuation logbook, and a current V5C Registration Certificate.

Footnotes:The two rows of 5 no. 5mm dowels equidistant along all 4 blades is of interest, as the practice of dowling the laminations was discontinued sometime in 1915 when it was discovered that it gave no appreciable extra strength to the blades. The presence of dowels does however give a useful indication of the date and identification of the propeller. Based upon available information the propeller could either have been used on an early version of the Royal Aircraft Establishment B.E.2c or possibly R.E.1. two seat multi use aircraft.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: â—Šâ—Šâ—Šâ—Šâ—Šâ—Š Requires specialist shipping and storage at the buyer's expenseFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1992 Ferrari 512 TR CoupéCoachwork by PininfarinaRegistration no. G6 REDChassis no. ZFFLA0B000092766*Left-hand drive*Circa 55,580 kilometres (approximately 34,500 miles) recorded*First registered in the UK in August 2014*Present ownership since December 2014Footnotes:Introduced in 1992, the 512 TR was one of the final developments of Ferrari's sensational Testarossa supercar. Ferrari's flagship model, the Testarossa revived a famous name from the Italian company's past when it arrived in 1984. A 'next generation' Berlinetta Boxer, the Testarossa retained its predecessor's amidships-mounted, 5.0-litre, flat-12 engine; the latter now boasting a maximum power output raised to 380bhp at 6,300rpm courtesy of four-valve cylinder heads. Despite the power increase, smoothness and driveability were enhanced, the car possessing excellent top gear flexibility allied to a maximum speed of 290km/h (180mph).Rivalling Lamborghini's Countach for presence, the Pininfarina-designed Testarossa succeeded brilliantly, the gill slats feeding air to its side-mounted radiators being one of the modern era's most instantly recognisable – and copied - styling devices. A larger car than the 512 BB - the increase in width being necessary to accommodate wider tyres - the Testarossa managed the trick of combining high downforce with a low coefficient of drag, its graceful body being notable for the absence of extraneous spoilers and other such devices. Despite the increase in size over the 512 BB, the Testarossa was lighter than its predecessor, the body - its steel doors and roof excepted - being, somewhat unusually for a production Ferrari, of aluminium. Luxury touches in the well-equipped cabin included air conditioning, electrically adjustable seats, tilting steering wheel and plentiful leather.Unlike some of its rivals, the Testarossa possessed light controls and was relatively easy to drive, factors which, allied to its outstanding performance and stunning looks, contributed to an instant and sustained high level of demand. In 1992 the original Testarossa was succeeded by the updated 512 TR version, which came with 428bhp on tap and could easily exceed 300km/h. Pininfarina gave the TR a front-end makeover and the newcomer also gained improved under-body aerodynamics and 18' diameter wheels. A total of 2,280 512 TRs had been made when production ceased in 1994.Believed sold new in Germany, this beautiful Ferrari 512 TR was first registered in the UK on 1st August 2014 and currently displays a total of circa 55,580 kilometres (approximately 34,500 miles) on the odometer. Finished in Rosso with black leather interior, this example is a most attractive proposal for the Ferrari aficionado. Accompanying documentation consists of six expired MoTs, a V5C document, fresh MoT and service history up to 53,565 kilometres.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered with Ferrari Classiche certification and only 17,000 kilometres from new1991 Ferrari F40 BerlinettaCoachwork by PininfarinaRegistration no. F4 ODNChassis no. ZFFGJ34B000088446*Delivered new in Milan, Italy*Non-adjustable suspension*Known ownership history*Service history*Present ownership since 2017Footnotes:'The take-up into the next gear is flawless and, with the turbos cranking hard, the blast of acceleration just goes on again and you seem to be in a blur of time conquering distance, gearshifts and noise. It has the tonal quality of an F1 engine, if not the sheer ferocity. From outside, if you stand and listen, you hear the frantic whoosh as the turbos start to drive oh-so-hard.' - Autocar magazine, May 1988.Introduced in 1988 to celebrate Enzo Ferrari's 40 years as a motor manufacturer, the F40 was the ultimate supercar and is historically significant as the first production passenger car to have a claimed top speed of over 200mph. It is also the last Ferrari to be personally approved by Enzo Ferrari prior to his death in 1988. A mid-engined, two-seater berlinetta, the F40 was a development of the limited-production 288 GTO and like the latter - but unlike the preceding 308 series - mounted its power unit longitudinally rather than transversely. Much had been learned from the development of the Evoluzione version of the 288 GTO - intended for the soon-to-be-abandoned Group B competitions - which enabled Ferrari to take the F40 from drawing board to dealers' showrooms in just 13 months. A 2,936cc quad-cam V8 with four valves per cylinder, the F40 engine employed twin IHI turbochargers to liberate 478bhp (approximately 352kW) at 7,000rpm. For the seriously speed-addicted, this could be boosted by 200bhp by means of a factory tuning kit. Of equal, if not greater, technical interest was the method of body/chassis construction, the F40 drawing on Ferrari's Formula 1 experience in its use of composite technology. A one-piece plastic moulding, the body was bonded to the tubular steel chassis to create a lightweight structure of immense rigidity. The doors, bonnet, boot lid and other removable panels were carbon fibre. Pugnaciously styled by Pininfarina, the F40 incorporated the latest aerodynamic aids in the form of a dam-shaped nose and high rear aerofoil. Despite the need to generate considerable downforce - and with a top speed of 201mph, higher than the take-off speed of many light aircraft, the F40 needed all the downforce it could get - the result was a commendably low drag coefficient of just 0.34. The F40's interior reinforced its image as a thinly disguised race-car, with body-contoured seats, an absence of carpeting and trim, and sliding Plexiglas windows. When it came to actual competition, race-prepared F40s more than held their own and in the Global GT series proved quicker on many circuits than McLaren's F1 GTR.Autocar concluded its test thus: 'on a smooth road it is a scintillatingly fast car that is docile and charming in its nature; a car that is demanding but not difficult to drive, blessed as it is with massive grip and, even more importantly, superb balance and manners. You can use its performance - the closest any production carmaker has yet come to race car levels - and revel in it. ...there's little doubt it is the very personification of the term sports car.' Even today the F40 has the power to impress. Launched in the UK with an asking price of around £185,000, the F40 was changing hands at the height of the late '80s supercar boom for up to half a million pounds. When production ceased in 1992 only 1,311 of these quite exceptional cars had been completed, all of which were left-hand drive and finished in Rosso Corsa when they left the factory. Today, much of the F40's enduring appeal is the fact that it is one of the last great 'analogue' supercars, designed and built at a time when the driver was expected to be in full control and before the introduction of electronic interventions in the form of anti-lock brakes, traction control, stability control, and paddle-shift automatic gearboxes, which have since become the norm. It also lacked a brake servo, air conditioning, interior door handles, and power steering... As Ferrari marketing executive Giovanni Perfetti explained: 'We wanted it to be very fast, sporting in the extreme and spartan. Customers had been saying our cars were becoming too plush and comfortable. The F40 is for the most enthusiastic of our owners who want nothing but sheer performance.' Even so, the F40 could not remain unaffected by the march of technological progress, gaining refinements such as ABS, glass side windows, catalytic converters, and adjustable suspension as development progressed. A desirable non-adjustable model built to European specification, this particular F40 was delivered new in Italy via the official Ferrari dealer Crepaldi Automobili in Milan and registered on 17th February 1991 to a Mr Benedetto, a local industrialist. Registered in Milan as 'MI 1 T 0114', the car was delivered with air conditioning, glass side windows, and a catalyst-equipped exhaust but is currently fitted with a non-cat sports exhaust system. In 1993 '88446' was sold to its second owner, Oliviero Busetti, another Milanese, who passed it on to the third owner, a resident of Monza, in 1998. '88446' remained in Italy until it came to the UK in July 2012 and was registered as 'H470 JLF'. That same month the F40 was seen in the Cub Ferrari France parking during the Le Mans Classic, and in 2015 was displayed at the Classic & Sports Car Show at Alexandra Palace. In October 2017 the Ferrari was sold by Graypaul to the current vendor and reregistered as 'F4 ODN'.The most recent annual service was carried out by Graypaul, Nottingham in September 2018 at 17,507 kilometres (invoice on file). Previously, in 2017, Graypaul had replaced both fuel tanks and the cam and ancillary belts as part of a major service. Importantly, '88446' also comes with its original tool kit as well as the original handbooks and service book in their original tan leather wallet.Reacquainting himself with the F40, F50, and Enzo Ferraris for Octane magazine (July 2014 edition) racing driver Mark Hales declared: 'The F40 is for me, the special one. Not just because I have spent so much time in them, but because it was such an explosive, other-worldly creation when it first appeared, and it still retains much of that character.' Enough said.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
