The ultimate modern-day Ferrari; rare, coveted and with just 1,600 miles.One of only 599 examples ever made and just two owners in totalNew to a Japanese collection, then bought by our vendor from UK specialists DK Engineering in 2015Just 2,577 km (1,601 miles); never seen rain, superb condition throughoutAll books and factory toolkit are still in their original plastic bagsHigh specification in Rosso Corsa (not Rosso Scuderia) paintwork, Grigio Silverstone Opaco roof, full Alcantara interior with Tessuto inserts, Rosso stitching, stitched prancing horses and Rosso harnessesUnderstandably, Ferrari uses the coolest ‘go-faster’ tag in the known-universe sparingly. History shows that only twice before has ‘The Scuderia’ attached the ultimate mark of speed and desirability to the rear of a road car. Those two cars were the 1962 250GTO and the 1984 288GTO - both were defined by performance and an intention to go racing. ‘Gran Turismo Omologato’ is the full description, and homologation was the purpose in both cases, albeit with vastly differing outcomes. The 250 enjoyed a great career, but the 288 GTO was born of the Group B regulations that never delivered the Porsche 959-versus-GTO-at-Le-Mans battles we all craved – leaving it as simply the fastest and most desirable Ferrari road car of its day.So how does this new car, launched in 2010, based on a road machine and with no specific intention to go racing, justify the name? Well, according to Ferrari, it does so by taking much of the technology from the track-only 599XX and making it available with a numberplate: it ‘homologates’ the XX for road use.The aims of this project were, in fact, very simple. Besides translating some of the new technologies wrought through the XX project into a road application, the intention was to extract maximum circuit performance from the 599 package, but still retain enough usability for the car to be a viable road car.The 599 is not an obvious base for a light-weight sports car. It may boast an aluminium bodyshell, but it’s a big machine with a 6.0-litre V12 wedged between the front wheels. The path to sharper responses has of course embraced the standard methodology: make it lighter and add more power. But it’s the sheer number and scope of the changes that impresses, helping to justify its 2010 price tag of £299,300 and underpins Ferrari’s assertion that this is much closer to being a 599XX with numberplates than a 599 HGTE-Plus.For starters, engine power rises from 612bhp to a staggering 661bhp; internal friction has been reduced by 12% through all manner of tweaks: DLC (Diamond Like Coating) for the tappets, super-finished cam lobes, a new shape for the crankshaft weights and a new design of piston skirt. The compression ratio rose from 11.2 to 11.9 and the breathing was completely overhauled.Ferrari has crafted a new aluminium intake system that uses shorter runners and saves 2kg, the exhaust system is ‘hydroformed’ – effectively blown into shape, thereby avoiding the heavy seams that come with even the best welding. The process thins the metal from 1.5mm to 0.8mm and saves a remarkable 15kg over a standard system. Throughout the car, an impressive 100kg has been shed.Gear ratios are down 6%, the car now hitting its claimed 208 mph maximum on the 8400rpm rev-limiter. If the engine work is comprehensive, the chassis goes even further: new springs, dampers, electronic systems, wheels, tyres and a new generation of carbon-ceramic brake that uses, for the first time in a road car, a ceramic pad material.At Fiorano, the car is brutally fast, lapping a second faster than any other Ferrari, and that’s despite weighing 300kg more than a 430 Scuderia.The GTO’s list of go-faster aids is bewildering. It uses the now familiar F1-Trac system to harness those 661 horses, but it now has SCM2, which is a second-generation ‘Skyhook’ damper – the type with magnetized fluid that can alter viscosity through electric current. The main difference on the GTO is that it is fitted with three accelerometers from the XX that relay real-time data to SCM2, whereas the GTB’s dampers have to use approximate data. It’s very, very clever stuff.The latest F1 automated manual is superb, giving 60m/s shifts at Fiorano (that’s 40m/s faster than a GTB) yet able to slur the action in town.The noise? The outside world is treated to four-fifths of the Le Mans soundtrack. In its upper reaches, the V12 gets sharp and angry. Performance is other-worldly, Ferrari claims it’ll do a standing km in 19.9sec, which makes it one of the fastest cars ever made in 2010.You could go on about this machine for an entire website - the thinner glass is 5.5kg lighter, forged wheels and titanium bolts save an eye-popping 22kg, and Sabelt’s snug carbon seats trim another 17kg. It’s a detail masterpiece, a track genius, a road tonic and yet another great Ferrari. Oh, and it fully deserves the badge.The car presented here is as close to a new 599 GTO as you are likely to find, a 2011 example with just over 1,600 miles covered and, in a condition, which wholly reflects this. The car has a very high specification with Rosso Corsa (not Rosso Scuderia) paintwork, Grigio Silverstone Opaco roof, full Alcantara interior with Tessuto inserts, Rosso stitching, stitched prancing horses and Rosso harnesses. It is supplied with all of its original and complete book-pack, covers, radio/key code cards and spare key.Being offered for sale from a discerning private collector of best-of-the-best classic and modern-classic cars, this GTO has been serviced / looked after by the famous 'Cornes' dealership of Japan, then DK Engineering and Dick Lovett Ferrari in the UK, and is undoubtedly one of the best examples available anywhere. Bought by our vendor in 2015 from DK Engineering who described it as 'an exceptional example', going on to say in an accompanying letter in the history file 'it is without doubt one of the best condition cars we have seen recently, especially in regards to the underside (of the car) which I looked closely at in the process of the service and PDI carried out in our workshops'. There is all the reassurance you could want about its ownership/servicing in Japan, its meticulous transportation to the UK (photos & paperwork etc.) and its subsequent full inspection with one of the UK's most revered Ferrari specialists. Regarded by many Ferrari enthusiasts as ‘ultimate modern-day Ferrari’, with that tangible GTO magic well and truly present, the associated kudos of knowing what that really is, and enough power and go to satisfy the demands of drivers seeking thrills from any one of the current crop of supercars, the 599 GTO might just be the high-tide mark for normally aspirated, big-engined sportscars full-stop.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 599 GTOYear: 2011Chassis Number: ZFF70RDJ000179278Transmission: Semi-autoEngine Number: 170329 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 2577 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: Nero Alcantara seats with RossoClick here for more details and images

Classically beautiful, top of the range, 493bhp, 5.5-litre, AMG SL fitted with the £8,500 F1 Performance Pack.The R230 SL55 offered civilised supercar performance sprinkled with some AMG magic dustHugely impressive, the 5.4-litre M113 V8produced 493bhp and 520lbs.ft of torqueThe expensive 'F1 Performance Pack' included; lightweight, hollow spoke, 19" split-rim alloy wheels, an LSD, larger floating disc brakes, uprated cooling, SL65 front end, and the speed limiter was raised to 186mphDating from April 2005, this fabulous SL is finished in Obsidian Metallic with 'Exclusive' Black/Anthracite leather (581A) and a Designo Alcantara roof liningPurchased by our vendor on 09/09/2014 having been enjoyed by four former keepersIndicating 66,408 miles. Last serviced on 5/11/20 @ 66,175. MOT valid until 6/11/2021Excellent service history and MOT history.Supplied with its M-B leather pouch containing manuals, service records, invoices etc. and both keys Introduced in 2002, after some five years in development, the R230 Series SL Roadster was an engineering ‘tour de force’. Painstakingly modelled on a state-of-the-art supercomputer which enabled the designers to analyse every curve and line, it looked utterly sensational with an air of barely contained aggression that gave it huge road presence. Packed full of sophisticated electronic driver aids which made it immensely safe but still fun to drive, it was an instant success and is widely considered to be the best-looking Mercedes for many years. In late 2003, the striking SL55AMG was introduced. Seriously powerful and impressively fast, the 5.4-litre V8 was rated at 493bhp with a stump-pulling 520 lbs.ft of torque.From 2004, the SL55AMG could be further enhanced by the addition of the £8,500 ‘F1’ Performance Pack (Code 030) offering a host of upgrades including a limited-slip differential, SL65 front bumper, SL65 19” split-rim alloys, bigger composite disc brakes, an uprated oil cooler, modified software for the ABC as modelled at the Nurburgring and the top-speed limiter was raised to 186mph.This superb 2005 SL55 AMG F1 was UK-supplied in right-hand drive and was purchased by our vendor on 09/09/2014 having been enjoyed by four former keepers. It’s finished in Obsidian Metallic with 'Exclusive' Black/Anthracite leather (581A) and a Designo Alcantara roof lining.The base list price of the Mercedes when new was £96,495 and £5,655 was added to this by an extensive list of options which included a Panoramic glass ‘Vario’ roof, Keyless Go, TV Tuner, Comfort Seats, Parktronic, Tyre Pressure Monitor, Telephone pre-wiring with hands-free, Linguatronic.It has currently covered just 66,500 miles and has an excellent service and MOT history with the most recent service on 5/11/20 @ 66,175 miles, by Mercedes-Benz Specialists. That service included Mercedes-Benz 5W/30 Low Ash, Fully Synthetic Oil (MB Approved 229.5), a new rear battery, number plates and holders and a fresh MOT. Total cost £487.20The previous year's' service on 21 October 2019, totalled £2,562.41 and included n/s/front shock absorber, front brake discs and pads, a wear sensor and a fresh MOT. The car is supplied with its M-B leather pouch containing manuals, service records, invoices etc. and both sets of keys.This rare F1 presents really, really well, appearing almost unmarked and the whole car has patently been looked after. Ballistically quick, fabulous looks, Continent-covering pace yet as civilised in town as a Toyota Corolla, it’s no wonder that some ‘supercar’ owners tend to get a little upset.SpecificationMake: MERCEDESModel: SL55 AMG F1Year: 2005Chassis Number: WDB2304742F105764Engine Number: 113992660029619Odometer Reading: 66406 MilesClick here for more details and images

Competitive in the right hands and instant access to international historic racing.FIA HTP Papers Exp December 2025 – (GTP1 1966-71)Ginetta Sports Prototype G12 No 3/30Lotus/Ford 1600 Twin Cam – Mk 9 Hewland transaxleRaced in 2015 HSCC Guards Trophy (2nd in class)Described as ready to race with a spanner check and probably new tyres£12,000+ spent since purchase to freshen up ready for useGinetta’s G12 was a natural progression from the all-conquering G4 and featured an innovative new design with a mid-mounted engine configuration. The state-of-the-art G12 design featured a tubular steel spaceframe with a centre-body cockpit section bonded to it for extra strength, and removable front and rear body sections. The suspension comprised proven Triumph-derived uprights and double wishbones with coil springs at the front and the classic arrangement of single upper transverse links with lower revised wishbones and coil springs at the rear. Stopping power was provided by Triumph Spitfire-sourced Girling disc brakes mounted outboard on all four wheels. The neat, innovative and practical design of the G12 made the car instantly successful and its designer, Ivor Walklett, commented "It was magic right from the start, we did a bit of testing and it was obvious that we had something very special"’. Drivers Chris Meek and Willie Green stormed through 1966 and ’67 demolishing the established opposition of Divas and Lotus 26Rs.G12/3 is one of just 30 produced and, according to documents within the file, enjoyed a short period of racing before being crashed in the early part of 1967, by Peter Creasey, however, he kept the damaged car for posterity and continued racing in G12/21, going on to win his class in the 1967 Motoring News GT Championship. G12/3 changed hands as a ‘project’ a few times until, around 2012, the old 60’s racer was totally rebuilt by the highly talented race preparer Ian Macdonald. Once the rolling chassis was completed, a brand new Gathercole Lotus/Ford 1600cc Twin-Cam engine was fitted and mated to a fully rebuilt Mk9 Hewland transaxle. The now gloriously rebuilt G12/3 was proudly debuted in the 2013 HSCC Guards trophy raced by Ian Macdonald and a previous owner. In 2014, Ian raced with Mark Godfrey in the Guards Trophy, on this occasion finishing second in class and the car was used by Mark this time solo in the HSCC Guards Trophy sometime later. The engine was refreshed and the gearbox rebuilt in 2015 with approx. 11.5 hours track use since. G12/3 has FIA HTP papers issued in 2015 for FIA period GR (1966-1971) in FIA Class GTP1, which allows this car to be considered for any qualifying international event worldwide valid up until December 2025.The G4’s ‘big brother’, the G12, as well as being rare and desirable, is a practical and smart Sports Prototype that holds the door wide open to international historic racing and in the right hands could be rather competitive. Our vendor purchased the car in 2016, spent a further £12,000+ to bring the little racer up to its best then, as is often the case, didn’t get around to racing it much (3 hours) making this a great opportunity to pick up where our vendor left off, and with a ‘spanner check’ and some fresh fluids, it should be ready to race. Accompanied by a history file and the aforementioned FIA papers (No. 38080). SpecificationMake: GINETTAModel: G12Year: 1967Chassis Number: 3Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 681F-6015-ADrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

SALVADOR DALÍ (1904-1989)Dios solar emergiendo de Okinawa signed, numbered and stamped with the Diejasa foundry mark 'Dalí, ¼, d' (to the reverse of the headdress)bronze with a golden brown and black brown patina on a wooden base46 x 123cm (18 1/8 x 48 7/16in); 58 x 135cm (22 13/16 x 53 1/8in) (including the base).Conceived in 1975, this version cast by the Diejasa Foundry in a numbered edition of 4.Footnotes:The authenticity of this work was confirmed by the late Monsieur Robert Descharnes.ProvenancePrivate collection, Europe; their sale, Bonhams, London, 11 December 2008, lot 56.Acquired at the above sale by the present owner.LiteratureR. & N. Descharnes, Dalí, The Hard and The Soft, Spells for the Magic of Form, Sculptures & Objects, Paris, 2003, no. 419 (another cast illustrated p. 166).Robert Descharnes, in his book The Hard and the Soft, Spells for the Magic of Form, describes Dalí's process of creating the group of sculptures from which the present work issues: 'As a friend of the couple I could stay at Dalí's side chatting non-stop while his hands created the pieces of the collection. For this work as a sculptor, Dalí adopted a ritual: a precise hour of the day outside his atelier, if possible, under the sun. And so, each afternoon, past midday, Dalí put down his brush and left the atelier for the swimming pool. There comfortably installed in the depression of an enormous bean bag, Dalí shaped and modelled until it was time to join Gala for a lunch of grilled fish' (R. & N. Descharnes, Dalí, The Hard and The Soft, Spells for the Magic of Form, Sculptures & Objects, Paris, 2003, p. 159).The present work is one component of a series of 44 works cast by the Diejasa Foundry over a ten-year period in the 1970s-1980s. Known as the Clot Collection, after Isidro Clot who ran the foundry with his son-in-law Adrian Campos, the 4 editions of the series are the only authorised life-time casts by Salvador Dalí.Moulded with sun-softened wax by the poolside of Dali's North-Eastern Spanish retreat in Port Lligat, Dios solar emergiendo de Okinawa was created by the artist for the International Fair of the Sea in Japan. It is a monument and homage to the great sacrifice and loss of life of both sides seen during the vicious fighting on the island of Okinawa during the Second World War. The figure emerges from the water with great energy and, like the rising sun, it is a symbol of hope and represents a new dawn for man.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: AR W TPAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.W Lot is located in the Bonhams Warehouse and will only be available for collection from this location.TP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
