Lot 292
Offered from The Chester Collection1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray CoupéRegistration no. FDS 326CChassis no. 194375S103663*Disc brakes and manual transmission*One owner from new until 2011*Restored to National Corvette Restorers Society standards in 2010*First registered in the UK in 2014*Present ownership since 2016Footnotes:Back in 1953, Chevrolet's launch of the two-seater Corvette sports car was a radical departure for a marque hitherto associated almost exclusively with sensible family transport. Sales were sluggish initially and the Corvette came close to being axed, surviving thanks to Chevrolet's need to compete with Ford's Thunderbird. A V8 engine for 1955 and a radical restyle for '56 consolidated the Vette's position in the market before the arrival of the heavily revised 'Sting Ray' version.Introduced for 1963, the Sting Ray incorporated a totally new ladder-type chassis, and for the first time there was a Gran Turismo coupé in the range. As had been the case with the previous (1956-1962) generation of Corvettes, development proceeded slowly, being characterised by annual facelifts and few engineering changes of note. On the latter front, the long-overdue arrival of four-wheel disc brakes was the most significant development for 1965.A 1965 model, this Sting Ray was purchased new by one Frank Hayashi of Wisconsin on 31st December 1964 from Hult Chevrolet in Madison, WI. The car has the 300bhp 327ci (5.3-litre) V8 engine and the desirable four-speed manual gearbox, and left the factory equipped with the Positraction rear axle; special highway axle (3.08:1); Comfort and Convenience Group; AM/FM radio; and whitewall tyres. The Corvette remained in the same ownership until 2011 when it was brought by one Bruce D Nelson of Hudson, New Hampshire. Before then, in 2010, the car had undergone a no-expense-spared restoration to National Corvette Restorers Society standards - even the correct paint marks on the chassis were recreated. The Corvette was first registered in the UK on 1st September 2014 and was acquired by the current vendor in October 2016, since when it has been repainted black (from Nassau Blue). While in the vendor's care the car has been carefully stored at a professional facility and checked over regularly by his own mechanic.Contained in three large binders, the comprehensive history includes a photographic record of the 2010 restoration and every service invoice from new. The files also include correspondence between the supplying dealer and the owner; the original sales invoice; the original title; instruction books; and even the original 'Protect-o-Plate'. One of the finest examples of its type currently available, this superb Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray is worthy of a place in any private collection.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1992 Porsche 911 Type 964 Carrera 2 9m11ST Conversion by NinemeisterRegistration no. NLT 63LChassis no. WP0ZZZ96ZNS400562*Unique creation commissioned by the current owner*A Type 964 re-imagined in the style of a pre-1972 911*Built between 2017 and 2019*Only 566 miles since completion*Immaculate conditionFootnotes:This unique Porsche creation is the work of '9m', UK-based marque specialist Ninemeister's custom build department. With decades of experience to call upon, 9m's team of engineers, bodywork artisans, and paintwork and interior specialists undertakes bespoke commissions from clients across the world to create their perfect Porsche 911. In this case, the owner's brief was to combine the best of modern-era Porsche 911 technology with the understated looks of the classic original of the pre-1972 'pre-impact bumper' era.The basis of this car is a 1992 Carrera 2 Type 964, purchased in 2017 especially for this project, the larger bodyshell of which had to undergo major surgery to achieve the proportions of the early 911S/911T and accept the earlier parts. The front end panels required were sourced from Porsche Classic Genuine Parts, those used being the early slam panel and 'long' bonnet of the 1972 911 and front wings of the 1973 Carrera RS 2.7. Of course, this kind of adaptation is much easier said than done, and it is worthwhile noting that each of the custom-made wheelarches took a week of workshop time before it was ready to fit. Indeed, this no-expense-spared build took 400 hours for fabrication, a further 600 for paintwork (Sapphire Blue metallic, introduced on the Type 993), and another 300 for final assembly. And then there were the mechanicals to attend to...Not merely content with transforming the 964's looks, the owner also wanted increased performance, and so 9m enlarged the engine from 3.6 to 3.8 litres using Carrera RS Type 993 cylinders and pistons, and fitted their own CNC-machined cylinder heads and Carrera RS Type 993 camshafts. The result is a maximum power output of 325bhp (up from the stock 964's 250 horsepower) with no reduction in dependability and keeping the car suitable for everyday use. The stock transmission has been up-rated accordingly, incorporating a lightweight RS flywheel and clutch, and a 9m Wavetrack torque-sensing limited-slip differential.On the chassis side, the bodyshell was seam-welded (like all 9m's cars) and the suspension bushes up-rated with Type 964 RS components. KW Variant 3 adjustable dampers were fitted all round together with custom-made Fuchs-style 16' alloy wheels, the rears carried on 9m's own narrow axle. The braking too has been up-rated using Type 993 components including the master cylinder and servo, with Brembo radial-mount callipers at the front and Brembo four-pot callipers at the rear. Inside, the excellent Type 964 cabin was left mostly original apart from a re-trim in black leather and fitting a MoMo Prototipo steering wheel, Ninemeister retro dials, and a Porsche Classic Radio Navigation System. The Type 964's standard power steering and anti-lock brakes were retained, while the wiring harness was greatly simplified, with all extraneous sections deleted. As one would expect, this unique Porsche comes fully equipped with a space-saver spare wheel; tyre pump; Porsche tool roll and jack; spare bulb and fuse kit; and a document wallet and service book (new). An appropriate age-related (1972/1973) registration completes the picture.On the project's conclusion in 2019, Ninemeister's managing director Colin Belton declared it the best 911 his company had ever built. A full account of the conversion was published in GT Porsche magazine's November 2019 edition. A copy of the article is available and the car also comes with a detailed listing of its outstanding specification (perusal recommended). Only 566 miles have been covered since the build and this wonderfully re-imagined Porsche 911 is presented in effectively 'as new' condition.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

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 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 Ferrari 330 GTSCoachwork by PininfarinaRegistration no. PHJ 224EChassis no. 10113*Delivered new in Italy*Formerly resident in the USA*Imported into the UK in 2004*Present ownership since 2005Footnotes:Ferrari convertibles have always been produced in considerably smaller numbers than their closed cousins and thus are even more coveted by collectors. In essence a closed version of the 275 GTS, the two-seat 330 GTC debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1966 and was intended to fill a gap in Ferrari's line-up between the four-seat 330 GT 2+2 and the racer-on-the-road 275 GTB. Later that same year the open version - the 330 GT Spider, or GTS - was introduced at the Paris Salon.Beneath the 330's bonnet resided the 4.0-litre, 300bhp version of Ferrari's familiar, two-cam, 60-degree V12, as used in the 330 GT 2+2. The short (2,400mm wheelbase) chassis followed Ferrari's established practice of tying together sturdy oval-section main tubes in a steel spaceframe, while the suspension was independent all round by wishbones and coil springs. First introduced on a road-going Ferrari in 1964 (on the 275 GTB) the rear suspension incorporated the five-speed, all-synchromesh gearbox in the form of a transaxle. Unlike the 275 GTS, the 330 GTS (and 330 GTC) employed the superior torque-tube transmission introduced on the 275 GTB towards the end of 1965.Testing a 330 GTS in 1968, Road & Track magazine found that the fully sorted, all independent, transaxle chassis gave 'a soft, level ride, wonderful adhesion and excellent behaviour. Out on the road, once the driver has the feel of things, he feels he could do almost anything with this car'.Luxuriously equipped in the best Gran Turismo manner, the 330 GTS interior boasted leather seats and electric windows as standard, radio, air conditioning and Borrani wire wheels being the options. With a top speed in excess of 150mph, excellent ride comfort and sure-footed handling, the 330 GTS justified Ferrari's claim that it was the world's finest convertible two-seater. Only 100 were produced by the factory between 1966 and 1968, alongside 600 examples of the 330 GTC Berlinetta.The 38th of its type produced, Ferrari 330 GTS chassis number '10113' was originally finished in Blu Chiaro with Rosso leather interior and matching top, and was equipped with instruments in kilometres and the optional Borrani wire wheels (see Massini Report on file). The car was completed in July 1967 to European specification and delivered to dealer M Gaston Crepaldi in Milan, Italy. Sold by Crepaldi to its first owner, a Mr Domeneghetti, the Ferrari was exported to the USA in the mid-1970s and in 1980 was sold to Laird L Cleaver in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Massini Report lists various works carried out while the Ferrari was owned by Mr Cleaver, who stored it at his winter home in Utah, unused, between 1989 and 1996 when the engine and transaxle were overhauled by Motion Products Inc of Neenah, Wisconsin.In 1998, '10113' passed to its next private owner, Gary Hornbarrier of Advance, North Carolina, who kept the car for the next three years before selling it to Ferrari collector Michael Westrick of Fort Wayne, Indiana in 2001. Michael Westrick owned the Ferrari until January 2004 when it was sold via dealer Mike Sheehan to Paul Wignall in the UK. Registered as 'PHJ 224E', the Ferrari was re-commissioned by marque specialists TDH Classics (Terry Hoyle) and later in 2004 was fitted with four new shock absorbers (bills on file). Next owner Andrew Fletcher acquired the Ferrari in November 2004, and in December of that year TDH carried out further remedial works and installed inertia-reel seatbelts (bill available). The current vendor (its third owner in the UK) acquired '10113' on 7th December 2005, since when the Ferrari has been maintained by John McAleese in Scotland. Representing a wonderful opportunity to acquire one of the rarest of soft-top V12-engined Ferraris, this beautiful 330 GTS is offered with a current V5C Registration Certificate and a history file of bills and other paperwork.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
