First registration 06.1986 Swiss Car Only about 800 pieces produced 40 years ago was it so far: As face-lifted Alfa Romeo GTV 6 succeeded to the sports car with 118 kW/160 HP performing V6 a furious new start in the competition surrounding Porsche 924/944, Nissan 280 ZX, Ford Capri 2.8 Injection or Opel Monza, in addition, against Lancia Montecarlo and Maserati Merak 2000 V6. The Alfa GTV “Sei”, as the Italians also advertised their sound-strong six-cylinder with fuel injection in this country, brought the Alfetta story and the legendary transaxle design principle (engine at the front, transmission, clutch and differential at the rear axle) to a climax. More important for the sports coupé clientele were, of course, other facts, first and foremost driving performance. Here, too, the GTV 6 lived up to its image as a thunderbolt, because in practice it clearly surpassed the restrained brochure figures. In contemporary tests, the V6 sprinted from 0 to 100 km/h in around eight seconds and the top speed was measured at up to 220 km/h, putting the 1980 Alfa even on a par with the far more expensive BMW 6 Series and Mercedes SL, but above all it made an announcement in the competitive field. While the Alfetta sedan was sent into its final round of production in 1984, the coupé continued to be built until 1986. A total of about 135,400 coupé versions were produced, of which 22,381 were the GTV6 and only about 800 the special GTV6 Grand Prix model, which was fitted with a special aerodynamic kit, decorative stripes and special aluminum wheels by Rayton Fissore. The Alfa Romeo GTV6 2.5 Grand Prix offered here is a Swiss car and is in exceptionally nice collector condition. Exhaust maintenance document and service book available and neatly kept. Original owner’s manual, sales brochure from the time and various documents present. In 2020 the clutch was replaced.

Replacing the outdated Countach in 1990, the Gandini-penned Diablo took the world by storm. Hot on the heels of Ferrari and Porsche, the Diablo was Lamborghini’s first car capable of the mythical 200mph. Whereas today the SV derivative is regarded as the highest specification, the 1995 ‘SV’ reintroduced the name from the Miura and was competitively priced as the entry level model in the range. The VT on the other hand sat atop the lineup. Introduced in 1993, the VT was most notably different with the addition of its all-wheel drive setup. ‘VT’, standing for Viscous Traction could direct up to 25% of the torque to the front wheels to aid traction during rear-wheel slip. The difference was significant and greatly improved the handling characteristics of the car. The VT saw further updates over the standard Diablo. Brake effectiveness was improved with new ducting and revised four-piston calipers. Power steering was introduced on the VT as well as larger side intakes; ergonomic improvements saw deeper and wider seats, revised dampers and a lighter clutch. This example was supplied new in March 1995 to Portman Lamborghini of London in the lesser seen Midnight Bleu Metallic over light grey. Serving as a demonstrator for the first three months of 1995, the Diablo would find its first home in 1996 in Newcastle. Purchased by then owner of Newcastle United F.C, Douglas Hall, the Diablo would be stored as a part of Hall’s significant collection with JCT600 of Newcastle. The dealership were responsible for many bespoke imports on behalf of Hall, including a Koenig Specials Ferrari F48. UK supplied Diablo’s received a dual-readout speedometer in both kmh and mph with the odometer recording mileage covered in the former, kilometres. Hall sold the car in 1996 and it would remain with its second keeper, Mr Robson until 2002. The Diablo changed hands, remaining local and was re-registered with its first private registration mark ‘5 PRY’. The VT would remain in the north-east of the UK until 2015 passing through a series of collectors, each one documented in the thorough history records. In 2015, the Diablo moved further south joining a prominent collection of cars and having covered just 14,900 miles by this time. The owner would retain the car for 6 years covering a mere 600 miles in during this period. Purchased by the current keeper in 2020, the car was placed into storage with DK Engineering. A stickler for the details, despite a mileage of just 14,998 miles, the Diablo was sent to Topaz Detailing who embarked on a cosmetic restoration of the car. Today this Diablo presents superbly, with known ownership and thorough service history from new. Available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately, this 15,400 mile UK-supplied Diablo VT is accompanied by its original book pack including service book and will be serviced as part of sale. 1995 Lamborghini Diablo VT D.K.

First introduced in 1957, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster was considered the successor to the famous 300 SL "Gullwings". The design of the roadster differed significantly from the coupe - while the coupe was known for its distinctive gullwing doors, the roadster had conventional doors. The 300 SL Roadster was equipped with a reinforced frame to maintain structural integrity without the fixed roof. In the engine compartment is a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine with direct injection that produces around 215 hp. This allows the vehicle to reach a top speed of around 250 km/h. Today the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster is considered one of the most sought-after collector cars. Thanks to its design and engineering, the 300 SL Roadster remains a symbol of the style and technical innovation of the 1950s and 1960s. 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster Bechtel Motorcompany GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Ferrari discontinued production of the 250 GT Lusso in 1964, leaving the firm without an intermediate model to occupy the gap between Ferrari's flagship Berlinetta's (the 275 GTB) and their grand four-seater Coupe's, the 330 GT. Launched during March 1966 at the Geneva Salon, the 330 GTC was an immediate success with customers and road testers alike, successfully filling the gap in Ferraris range. The 4-litre 330's were available in two alternative body styles - Coupe (GTC) or Spyder (GTS). The 330 GTC frame was designated Tipo 592. These chassis' were outwardly very similar to those already used on Ferrari's 275 GTB being a traditional tubular steel chassis. Hydraulic disc brakes were fitted all-round along with fully independent suspension. Borrani's beautiful ten-hole cast alloy wheels were standard although spoked wheels from the same manufacturer were optionally available. Engine-wise the GTC used Ferrari's twin cam four-litre Tipo 209/66 60° V12. Power was quoted by the factory as being 300bhp at 7000rpm with three twin-choke Weber 40 carburettors. The engine was matched by a five-speed transaxle. Performance was impressive with a car reaching 0-60 in under 6.5 seconds whilst top speed was in excess of 150mph. The GTS was introduced during October 1966 when chassis 8899 GT was given its public debut at the Paris Salon. The 330 GTS could be described as a "series II 275 GTS" with a revised grille and bumperettes, as opposed to a one-piece full width front bumper. Of course, in addition to the visual changes the 330 benefitted from increased power and torque as well as character changing smooth driveline with the use of torque tube over an open prop shaft thus making in our opinion the 330 GTS a far superior car. Only 99 330 GTS's were produced before Ferrari discontinued production in late '68 to make way for the new 4.4-litre 365 GTS. Electric windows were fitted as standard along with a full leather interior and comfortably padded rather than figure hugging bucket seats. Air conditioning was an optional extra. This 330 GTS was completed at the Maranello factory in April 1967, equipped with instruments in miles, finished in Giallo Fly (Fly Yellow) paint with a black interior, and fitted with Campagnolo alloy wheels. A month later, the GTS was delivered to Luigi Chinetti Motors in Greenwich, Connecticut, and the car was soon sold to its first owner, Benjamin Bailar, a resident of New York. Mr. Bailar submitted the car to Chinetti Motors for service in September 1970, and shortly thereafter sold it back to the distributor. During the early 1970s, the Ferrari was acquired by Donald Fong, a noted mechanic and dealer based in Atlanta, and he sold the car in 1974 to fellow Atlanta resident David Jamison, who installed Borrani wire wheels. The spider then passed to another Atlanta-area enthusiast before being offered for sale in the Ferrari Market Letter by collector Alan Woodall in late 1981. In 1984, the 330 was purchased by a doctor who would continue to own the car until 2019, or for 35 continuous years. He begun working at Road America and the Milwaukee Mile in the late 1960s, and served as head physician at the two legendary circuits from 1986 to 2000. After locating this 330 GTS at Thoroughbred Motorcars in Alexandria, Virginia, the owner drove the car to his home in Bayside, Wisconsin. He immediately refinished the aging Giallo Fly exterior with a fresh coat of black paint. The interior was subsequently reupholstered with Connolly leather and Wilton wool carpeting in beige, and the top was accordingly re-trimmed. The GTS then served as a weekend driver and drive of choice to all the events attended as a working doctor at Road America and the Milwaukee Mile. The handsome spider became a regular presence in the paddock at both tracks, even serving as the pace car at some smaller SOCA events. In more recent years, the Ferrari assumed residence in central California following the owner's relocation to the West Coast. Dutifully maintained throughout its 35-year single ownership, this beloved GTS was occasionally exhibited at local events but only rarely displayed formally, with one notable exception as a non-judged entry at the 2011 Concorso Italiano. In 2019, this example changed hands once more and the most recent custodian decided on a comprehensive bare metal restoration in Italy, with marque specialists Bonini, Cremonini and coachtrimmers Luppi, to the period hue of Verde Scuro over Cioccolato. This concours level bare shell restoration culminated in 2023 and is extensively documented with photographs and invoices totalling £370,000. As such, today this example presents on the button, ready to be used and enjoyed by its next custodian. This wonderful 330 GTS presents as an eminently usable 60s Ferrari, built as part of production of less than half that of the preceding 275 GTS. 1967 Ferrari 330 GTS D.K.

Achieved 3rd in class and 19th overall at the 1962 Targa Florio The second of 56 short-wheelbase examples built, and one of 18 built with uncovered headlamps One of two examples fitted with a Tipo 128 F engine; and one of three built without side vents Exhibited by Ferrari at the 1960 Turin Motor Show Former ownership by noted American privateer Bob Grossman Restored by Italian craftsmen from 2013 to 2016 and recently refinished in its 1962 Targa Florio livery Retains matching-numbers engine, gearbox, and rear axle example, as documented by its Ferrari Classiche Red Book Successfully campaigned on the Colorado Grand and the Ferrari Factory Cavalcade Classic Presented at the Cavallino Classic, the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, and Retromobile Documented with factory engine build sheet, Auto Club d’Italia estratto cronologico, and report from historian Marcel Massini; accompanied by original factory hardtop The proverbial sports car pantheon is full of models that have achieved one kind of metric or another, but at the very peak of Olympus two words loom larger than most any other: California Spider. Ferrari achieved great heights with its 250 GT platform, finding remarkable success in sports car competition with the Tour de France and Testa Rossa models. In 1957, however, one man dared to push the boundaries even further. John von Neumann was a California-based importer and co-founder of the local sports car club who had become a regular distributor for Ferrari sales on the West Coast. He proposed the idea of a dual-use open Ferrari that could be driven to the track and raced before being gently driven home, in the tradition of Maranello’s great berlinettas. Official Ferrari importer Luigi Chinetti supported the idea and before long a new 250 GT appeared: the California Spider. Sportier than the concurrent 250 GT Cabriolet, the California Spider shared the Tour de France berlinetta’s chassis, and the open coachwork was designed and built by the legendary Sergio Scaglietti with beautifully sculpted curves and a commanding stance. This was a Ferrari for every sense to enjoy; wondrous to hear, viscerally thrilling in performance, and beautiful to admire. Initially built on Ferrari’s 2,600-millimeter wheelbase chassis, the early California Spiders made a splash in GT competition, taking a class win at Sebring in 1959 and finishing 5th overall at Le Mans a few months later. Fifty examples of the California Spider were eventually built on the long-wheelbase chassis before Ferrari introduced its 2,400-millimeter short-wheelbase platform. Unveiled at the 1960 Geneva Salon, the SWB California Spider featured several performance upgrades over its predecessor, including a wider track, Koni adjustable telescopic shock absorbers, four-wheel disc brakes, and the latest evolution of the highly developed short-block V-12 engine. As the most advanced iteration of the model’s design, the SWB California Spider was as thrilling to drive as it was to behold, and the car quickly gained favor with an illustrious group of jet-set owners, including James Coburn, Roger Vadim, and the Aga Khan. Ultimately produced in a modest quantity of 56 examples, the SWB California Spider has evolved into one of the most desirable Ferraris ever built, cherished by today’s collectors for its deft combination of 1950s styling elements and 1960s performance advances. CHASSIS NUMBER 1883 GT Claiming period racing and exhibition use, a three-year restoration conducted by Italian craftsmen, certification by Ferrari Classiche, and a recent refinish in its period racing livery, this exquisite Ferrari is a benchmark example of Maranello’s short-wheelbase spider. A flurry of production metrics demonstrates just how special this 250 GT truly is. In addition to being only the second SWB California Spider built, 1883 GT is one of 18 such cars that were configured with uncovered headlamps. The spider is furthermore distinguished by being one of 25 cars delivered with a factory hardtop, one of just three examples bodied without side vents, and one of two to be fitted with the Tipo 128 F engine. According to a history report by marque expert Marcel Massini, this steel-bodied California Spider completed assembly in August 1960, finished in Blu Medio paint with an interior upholstered with Rosso vaumol leather by Connolly. The 250 GT was purchased new through the Turin-based dealer Garage Fontanella & Co. by Litex S.a.S. on behalf of the company’s president, Robert Fusina, and he allowed Ferrari to exhibit the car on their stand at the 1960 Turin Motor Show. Shortly thereafter the 250 GT was sold by Litex to its second owner, Trieste resident Alessandro Terni, who had the car repainted in light blue metallic. Terni then loaned the SWB to Fusina and Guido De Bonis for use in the Targa Florio in May 1962, where the car impressively finished 3rd in class and a respectable 19th overall. According to Cavallino magazine (and to the best of our knowledge), 1883 GT is the only Ferrari 250 GT California Spider of any kind—either Long or Short Wheelbase—to compete in the Targa Florio in period. Two months later Terni sold the spider to Carlo Moraglia of Turin, although he only kept the car five months before selling it to De Bonis. In March 1963 the 250 changed ownership again when De Bonis sold the car to the Spanish-born Felix Manuel Cormin Villa, who also resided in Turin. By the end of 1963 the Ferrari was found in Switzerland by Bob Grossman, the famed American privateer whose SCCA racing successes in the LWB California Spiders chassis numbers 0939 GT and 1451 GT helped popularize the model. Grossman exported the 250 GT to the United States and from him it passed through a chain of four private owners through early 1982, by which time the car had been refinished in rosso over a tan interior. In 1983 the Ferrari was sold to Robert Panella of Stockton, California, a marque enthusiast whose collection included the 275 GTB/4 first owned by Steve McQueen (also being offered at RM Sotheby’s 2023 Monterey sale). Mr. Panella had the 250 GT restored, including the conversion of the nose configuration to covered headlamps, and he presented the spider at the Ferrari Owners Club Concours d’Elegance at the Rancho Cañada Golf Club in Carmel Valley in August 1984. Ten years later Panella presented the car at the FCA’s International Concours d’Elegance in Monterey. In July 1996 the Ferrari passed to Brazilian resident Carlos Monteverde, and after just one year he sold the car to artist and collector Everett Anton “Tony” Singer of Laurel Hollow, New York. Singer is better known in the niche as the proprietor of a vintage automotive poster printing company and as the founder of Automobilia Monterey. Singer also acquired the spider’s original hardtop, which had become separated from the car during the intervening years. Chassis 1883 GT was then displayed at the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance in June 1999, winning the Best Italian Sports Car award, and Singer went on to enjoy the car on the Colorado Grand for the following two years. During his ownership the spider also won a Silver Award at the 2001 Cavallino Classic, and it was presented at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance two months later. In February 2002 the California Spider was acquired by a Swiss collector who exhibited the car at the Loris Kessel Ferrari Days at the Lugano-Agno airport and went on to retain possession for nine years. Sold to the current caretaker in January 2012, the 250 GT was submitted a year later to Ferrari Classiche to begin certification. The owner soon commissioned a complete restoration by the Carrozzeria Egidio Brandoli and Zanasi & Co. (including returning the headlamps to their original uncovered configuration, and an update of the livery to Nero over beige) and Joe Macari in London was retained to address all mechanical considerations. After completion of the three-year refurbishment in 2016, 1883 GT was certified with a Ferrari Classiche Red Book that demonstrates the spider retains its matching-numbers engine, gearbox, and rear axle. The 250 GT was then enjoyed during select European events, including the Ferrari Factory 70th Anniversary Cavalcade Classic in Tuscany in May 2017, and the Ferrari Factory Cavalcade Classic in Rome in 2019. The car was also presented at the Suisse Concours d’Elegance held at the Chateau Coppet in June 2018, and the 2023 Retromobile. In preparation for its current offering the California Spider has recently been treated to a refinish in light blue metallic over a rosso interior, matching the livery of its most glorious moment, the 3rd-in-class finish at the 1962 Targa Florio. As a tribute to its appearance at the epic Sicilian road race the car has also been fitted with an easily removable bolt-on rollbar, and decals with race #82 have been applied. The SWB is currently fitted with 15-inch Borrani wire wheels, and it is accompanied by a spare set of 16-inch Borranis. It is furthermore offered with its original factory soft-top and hard-top, each of which is stored in a separate flight case. Short-wheelbase California Spiders are only rarely offered in public settings, making the availability of this period-raced, Classiche-certified example an extremely special opportunity. Nuanced marque collectors seeking to acquire one of Maranello’s most celebrated Golden Grails should be pleased with the presentation of this magnificent spider. 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Grossman exported the 250 GT to the United States and from him it passed through a chain of four private owners through early 1982, by which time the car had been refinished in rosso over a tan interior. In 1983 the Ferrari was sold to Robert Panella of Stockton, California, a marque enthusiast whose collection included the 275 GTB/4 first owned by Steve McQueen (also being offered at RM Sotheby’s 2023 Monterey sale). Mr. Panella had the 250 GT restored, including the conversion of the nose configuration to covered headlamps, and he presented the spider at the Ferrari Owners Club Concours d’Elegance at the Rancho Cañada Golf Club in Carmel Valley in August 1984. Ten years later Panella presented the car at the FCA’s International Concours d’Elegance in Monterey. In July 1996 the Ferrari passed to Brazilian resident Carlos Monteverde, and after just one year he sold the car to artist and collector Everett Anton “Tony” Singer of Laurel Hollow, New York. Singer is better known in the niche as the proprietor of a vintage automotive poster printing company and as the founder of Automobilia Monterey. Singer also acquired the spider’s original hardtop, which had become separated from the car during the intervening years. Chassis 1883 GT was then displayed at the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance in June 1999, winning the Best Italian Sports Car award, and Singer went on to enjoy the car on the Colorado Grand for the following two years. During his ownership the spider also won a Silver Award at the 2001 Cavallino Classic, and it was presented at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance two months later. In February 2002 the California Spider was acquired by a Swiss collector who exhibited the car at the Loris Kessel Ferrari Days at the Lugano-Agno airport and went on to retain possession for nine years. Sold to the current caretaker in January 2012, the 250 GT was submitted a year later to Ferrari Classiche to begin certification. The owner soon commissioned a complete restoration by the Carrozzeria Egidio Brandoli and Zanasi & Co. (including returning the headlamps to their original uncovered configuration, and an update of the livery to Nero over beige) and Joe Macari in London was retained to address all mechanical considerations. After completion of the three-year refurbishment in 2016, 1883 GT was certified with a Ferrari Classiche Red Book that demonstrates the spider retains its matching-numbers engine, gearbox, and rear axle. The 250 GT was then enjoyed during select European events, including the Ferrari Factory 70th Anniversary Cavalcade Classic in Tuscany in May 2017, and the Ferrari Factory Cavalcade Classic in Rome in 2019. The car was also presented at the Suisse Concours d’Elegance held at the Chateau Coppet in June 2018, and the 2023 Retromobile. In preparation for its current offering the California Spider has recently been treated to a refinish in light blue metallic over a rosso interior, matching the livery of its most glorious moment, the 3rd-in-class finish at the 1962 Targa Florio. As a tribute to its appearance at the epic Sicilian road race the car has also been fitted with an easily removable bolt-on rollbar, and decals with race #82 have been applied. The SWB is currently fitted with 15-inch Borrani wire wheels, and it is accompanied by a spare set of 16-inch Borranis. It is furthermore offered with its original factory soft-top and hard-top, each of which is stored in a separate flight case. Short-wheelbase California Spiders are only rarely offered in public settings, making the availability of this period-raced, Classiche-certified example an extremely special opportunity. Nuanced marque collectors seeking to acquire one of Maranello’s most celebrated Golden Grails should be pleased with the presentation of this magnificent spider.

This is the story of a car that has made rally car enthusiasts dream and still does. But while some of these cars were born noble and have only become more refined, this one started from very, very low beginnings. We tell you the story of an improbable tinkering and a career full of twists and turns. Takeover, jealousy and Scottish rescueIf we want to go back a long way, let's start with the story of the Talbot Sunbeam in June 1964. Chrysler attacked the British market by taking a 30% stake in the Rootes group. It was a similar mechanism to the one used on the continent with Barreiros or Simca. Pentastar increased its shareholding by successive additions until 1967, when it took majority control and the Rootes name disappeared, to be replaced in 1971 by Chrysler UK, an entity headed by Chrysler Europe, which brought together the two aforementioned brands. In the UK, British Motor Holdings and Leyland Motor Corporation merged in 1968 to form the British Leyland Motor Company. But after only 6 years, the company, born of two parties in bad shape, was in dire straits. Sir Don Ryder was commissioned by the government to take stock of the ‘English General Motor’ (at least that was the group's ambition). Ryder submitted his report in 1975, and it was sufficiently alarmist for the government to decide to get involved. The group could disappear and the Labour government did not want to see thousands of workers laid off. British Leyland Limited was created, with the government as majority shareholder and a large injection of sterling. Chrysler UK saw this as unfair competition, and to some extent they were right. As a result, the group threatened to become much more powerful than it was at present and put the survival of the unprofitable Linwood plant in Scotland (west of Glasgow) on the line. The government responded by allocating a grant of £55,000,000 to develop a compact, modern car to be built in Scotland. At that point: ‘y a plus qu'à’. The killer ingredient: new from old Just because you've got £55 million (which these days would be equivalent to about €3 billion) doesn't mean you have to spend it all on a new car. While no-one has ever uttered this phrase, what you're about to read suggests that it was the guiding idea behind the birth of the Talbot Sunbeam. In January 1976, the R424 project was launched. But the schedule and the budget were tight. This had an impact on the technical side of the project. For a start, we weren't going to launch a new platform. The Hillman Avenger will serve as the basis. The car came out in 1970, and its components are easily reusable, so it's a perfect candidate. However, it was to be a compact car, not a saloon, so the wheelbase was reduced by 76 mm. The engine is a 928cc, itself derived from the 875cc engine based on the Coventry Climax FWMA, a pump engine from the 1950s! Two other engines, a 1300 and a 1600 are also on the program. In terms of styling, the car was designed by the Whitley studio headed by Roy Axe, which also belonged to Chrysler UK. As a result, the car's styling will be similar to Chrysler Europe's latest creations: the Simca 1307 (Chrysler Alpine on the other side of the Channel) and the future Simca Horizon. In fact, the headlamps of the latter are to be borrowed, but the timetable is much longer and it soon becomes clear that they won't be ready in time... hence the reuse of the Avenger's ‘recessed’ headlamps. Put like that, it sounds simple. But the R424 project is in fact full of compromises. First and foremost, a technical compromise. While the group's new cars tend towards front-wheel drive, which is much more modern, the use of the Avenger platform means that they have to be rear-wheel drive. Even in form, the new car is not all that free. To prevent it from competing with the future Horizon, it will be limited to 3 doors. This implies a final compromise on the structure, with a relatively high boot load sill given that only the rear window opens! On these last two points, the difference with the Horizon (5-door front-wheel drive) is clear to see. But that doesn't prevent a lot of confusion There's one final point: the name. The Sunbeam brand was used for exporting Rootes group cars. Chrysler UK wanted to do away with the name... but ended up using it for the model. The Chrysler Sunbeam was born! The career of the Chrysler Sunbeam 19 months. That's how long it took the design office to create the Chrysler Sunbeam. It was presented on 23 July 1977 and the British press took a positive view of the car. The styling was more modern than that of the Avenger (whose 2-door version was discontinued) and the three engines and three trim levels (LS, GL and S) sold well. At the 1978 Paris Motor Show, a new version was added to the range: the Sunbeam Ti. The car was based on the Avenger Tiger, from which it took the 1,598cc engine, but boosted by two Weber carburettors. Power reaches 100 bhp in a rear-wheel drive compact, a first step into the world of the Hot Hatch, much sought-after on the other side of the Channel. Dynamic is good, sporty is even better. So Chrysler UK did what Ford had done before, turning to Lotus to bring out a supercharged version of the compact. The result was the Lotus Sunbeam. While its engine was indeed a 2.2-litre unit, it had nothing to do with the Chrysler block of the same displacement (which originated in the Simca-Chrysler 160, 180 and 2 Litres). It was the Lotus Type 907 engine, used in the Lotus Elite, Eclat, Esprit and Jensen-Healey, which was upgraded from 1973 to 2172 cm³, becoming Type 911, and housed under the bonnet. 4 cylinders, 16 valves, 150 bhp! Now there's going to be some sport. It was mated to a ZF gearbox and of course the running gear was reworked. But the car was not to be called Lotus Sunbeam. It was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1979. And before that... there was a big change. The Chrysler becomes the Talbot Sunbeam While Hethel was preparing a car ready for sport, and rallying in particular, Chrysler UK was in dire straits. The Sunbeam was used to bring in a subsidy, but that didn't guarantee huge sales. They weren't catastrophic, but that didn't mean the car was a huge success. Overall, Chrysler UK cars are selling poorly, Simca cars are losing ground while the Horizon is still in its launch phase and Simca-Chrysler cars have been quickly overtaken. In short, Chrysler was in a quagmire and wanted out. To avoid bankruptcy and get the Poissy plant back, the PSA Group, which really didn't need this, bought the group, its production facilities and its models specific to the British market. The takeover took effect on 1 January 1979. On 1 August 1979, Chrysler Sunbeam became Talbot Sunbeam. But little else was changed. Although the Chrysler badge disappeared from the bonnet, the Talbot Sunbeam kept its Pentastar grille until 1981! The Simca-Chrysler Sunbeam Lotus bodies came off the assembly line at the Linwood (Glasgow) factory and were transported by truck to an aircraft hangar built by Lotus at a site near Norwich. The engines came from the historic Ethel factory, some thirty kilometres away, and the ZF gearboxes arrived directly from Germany. In the hangar, a team of around fifteen mechanics fitted the engine and gearbox into the hull after enlarging the transmission tunnel to make room for the gearbox. The whole assembly was then sent to Coventry before being dispatched to the dealers. Three years after the launch of the 110bhp Golf GTI, the launch of the Lotus Sunbeam at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1979 caused a sensation. With 155 bhp, the Sunbeam was the queen of the road. In July 1979, Peugeot decided to revive a brand it owned in order to unify ex-Chrysler production: Talbot. Fortunately, this had no impact on the Sunbeam Lotus programme or on competition. The first production cars were already in stock in Great Britain, so they had to be rebadged as a matter of urgency before delivery. The Sunbeam Lotus would be delivered with Talbot (front left), Simca (rear left), Sunbeam (rear right), Lotus (sides) and the Chrysler logo engraved in the plastic of the grille. Coming back to the sports car, the Lotus, it was unveiled after the takeover. Except that the first cars were not ready immediately. They were not delivered until after 1st August, and in the meantime had become Talbot Sunbeam Lotuses. They were to shine in rallies, but more about that below. It was not until 1981 that the Talbot Sunbeam really evolved. They were given a 4-year restyling that allowed them to receive, at last, flush-fitting headlights! At the same time, the Pentastar was removed from the radiator grille, which was completely meaningless. The plans for this restyling were in the box. So we brought it out. However, the fate of the Talbot Sunbeam was already sealed. The Linwood plant was saved under Chrysler, not PSA. It is still not profitable, and the group has decided to close it. This means the end of the Avenger... which is still the basis for the Talbot Sunbeam. PSA has no regrets. The Avenger competes with the 305 and the Talbot Sunbeam remains positioned opposite the Horizon, whatever Chrysler may have done. These two cars were more modern. 1981 was therefore the last year of Talbot Sunbeam production. Taking all models (Chrysler and Talbot) together, around 200,000 cars were produced. The last Talbot Sunbeam Lotus cars were hard to sell and were produced in a special ‘Avon’ series, numbered in 1982. The Talbot Sunbeam Lotus in rallies Although the car arrived at a time when the history of the basic model was becoming really bad, its lightning career was to make it a myth, quite simply. It was not homologated in Group 2 until 1980, by which time the necessary 1,000 cars had been built. For world championship rallies, the engine was increased to 250 bhp. In March, it scored its first podium finish with Guy Fréquelin at the wheel and Jean Todt as co-driver: 3rd in the Rally Portugal. Its big breakthrough that year came at the RAC. Henri Toivonen, co-driven by Paul White, won the rally and the two Frenchmen finished 3rd. With a few points scored in Italy, the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus finished 6th in the championship. 1981: the world title That year, the Talbot Lotus Sunbeam challenged the established manufacturers with a formidable team Guy Fréquelin (main driver) Henri Toivonen (rising rally star) Stig Blomqvist and Russell Brookes on certain rounds In 1981, Fréquelin and Todt got off to a strong start with 2nd place in the Monte Carlo Rally. Toivonen and Gallagher then took 2nd place in Portugal and the two Frenchmen achieved a similar result in the Tour of Corsica. Better still, they won Argentina in July and came 2nd in Brazil in August. Toivonen and Gallagher snatched another 2nd place in San Remo and the year ended with Blomsvist and Cederberg finishing 3rd in the RAC. Although Fréquelin was ‘only’ second in the drivers' standings behind Ari Vatanen (in a Ford Escort), the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus became World Rally Champion... just a few weeks before it was to be discontinued! Talbot Sunbeams today It's very rare to come across one. But like many popular cars of the time, only the vitamin-packed versions of the Talbot Sunbeam have survived. So we end up with a rare car... Dimi Mavropoulos took delivery of his car, built at the time by Talbot's Coventry racing department, from the brand's factory cars. As such, it was equipped with all the same parts as the Group 2 ‘works’ cars. This historic Sunbeam Lotus competed in the Castrol Autosport Championship in England and the 1979/80/81/83/84 European Rally Championship. In the 1980s, its Cypriot driver distinguished himself in rallying by becoming Cyprus Rally Champion on several occasions. He also distinguished himself in the UK in the rallycross discipline. At the wheel of this Sunbeam Lotus, he achieved several podiums, finishing second in 1981 and 1982, and once third (in Group B) in 1984. This Sunbeam Lotus received factory support for its construction and was one of the very first Sunbeams to be homologated for rallying. As such, it was fitted with the original factory parts, which it has retained: factory wiring harness, reinforced body, Salsbury self-locking axle, minilite wheels, quick-release axle, 48 mm Solex carburettor, twin fans, adjustable front/rear brake distribution, hydraulic handbrake, large radiator, dry sump. Sold in the 1980s to a driving school near Silverstone (Rally Racing Ltd), it was acquired a few years later by a Swiss private individual who carried out the first major restoration work (many photos attached to the file). Repainted in white, the ATT 790T has changed from its original Castrol livery to a factory Chrysler Competition livery, easily identifiable by rally enthusiasts. Acquired in the early 2010s by an enthusiast living in the Rhône-Alpes region, he set about restoring the car in full compliance with its Group 2 homologation sheet. It was also during this period that the owner decided to convert this Talbot Sunbeam Lotus into an LHD. Sold in 2017 to its previous owner, a collector living in Haute-Savoie, before ending up in the hands of its current owner. Since then, the Sunbeam Lotus has taken part in a number of test drives. It has its original registration and has been restored to comply with the Group 2 homologation form. Eligible for the Tour de Corse Historique, Rallye de San-Remo, Rallye Costa Brava, Rallye de l'Acropole.... This Sunbeam Talbot Lotus is accompanied by an extensive history file, its FIA PTH (period I) and all recent invoices relating to the engine rebuild.

But the schedule and the budget were tight. This had an impact on the technical side of the project. For a start, we weren't going to launch a new platform. The Hillman Avenger will serve as the basis. The car came out in 1970, and its components are easily reusable, so it's a perfect candidate. However, it was to be a compact car, not a saloon, so the wheelbase was reduced by 76 mm. The engine is a 928cc, itself derived from the 875cc engine based on the Coventry Climax FWMA, a pump engine from the 1950s! Two other engines, a 1300 and a 1600 are also on the program. In terms of styling, the car was designed by the Whitley studio headed by Roy Axe, which also belonged to Chrysler UK. As a result, the car's styling will be similar to Chrysler Europe's latest creations: the Simca 1307 (Chrysler Alpine on the other side of the Channel) and the future Simca Horizon. In fact, the headlamps of the latter are to be borrowed, but the timetable is much longer and it soon becomes clear that they won't be ready in time... hence the reuse of the Avenger's ‘recessed’ headlamps. Put like that, it sounds simple. But the R424 project is in fact full of compromises. First and foremost, a technical compromise. While the group's new cars tend towards front-wheel drive, which is much more modern, the use of the Avenger platform means that they have to be rear-wheel drive. Even in form, the new car is not all that free. To prevent it from competing with the future Horizon, it will be limited to 3 doors. This implies a final compromise on the structure, with a relatively high boot load sill given that only the rear window opens! On these last two points, the difference with the Horizon (5-door front-wheel drive) is clear to see. But that doesn't prevent a lot of confusion There's one final point: the name. The Sunbeam brand was used for exporting Rootes group cars. Chrysler UK wanted to do away with the name... but ended up using it for the model. The Chrysler Sunbeam was born! The career of the Chrysler Sunbeam 19 months. That's how long it took the design office to create the Chrysler Sunbeam. It was presented on 23 July 1977 and the British press took a positive view of the car. The styling was more modern than that of the Avenger (whose 2-door version was discontinued) and the three engines and three trim levels (LS, GL and S) sold well. At the 1978 Paris Motor Show, a new version was added to the range: the Sunbeam Ti. The car was based on the Avenger Tiger, from which it took the 1,598cc engine, but boosted by two Weber carburettors. Power reaches 100 bhp in a rear-wheel drive compact, a first step into the world of the Hot Hatch, much sought-after on the other side of the Channel. Dynamic is good, sporty is even better. So Chrysler UK did what Ford had done before, turning to Lotus to bring out a supercharged version of the compact. The result was the Lotus Sunbeam. While its engine was indeed a 2.2-litre unit, it had nothing to do with the Chrysler block of the same displacement (which originated in the Simca-Chrysler 160, 180 and 2 Litres). It was the Lotus Type 907 engine, used in the Lotus Elite, Eclat, Esprit and Jensen-Healey, which was upgraded from 1973 to 2172 cm³, becoming Type 911, and housed under the bonnet. 4 cylinders, 16 valves, 150 bhp! Now there's going to be some sport. It was mated to a ZF gearbox and of course the running gear was reworked. But the car was not to be called Lotus Sunbeam. It was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1979. And before that... there was a big change. The Chrysler becomes the Talbot Sunbeam While Hethel was preparing a car ready for sport, and rallying in particular, Chrysler UK was in dire straits. The Sunbeam was used to bring in a subsidy, but that didn't guarantee huge sales. They weren't catastrophic, but that didn't mean the car was a huge success. Overall, Chrysler UK cars are selling poorly, Simca cars are losing ground while the Horizon is still in its launch phase and Simca-Chrysler cars have been quickly overtaken. In short, Chrysler was in a quagmire and wanted out. To avoid bankruptcy and get the Poissy plant back, the PSA Group, which really didn't need this, bought the group, its production facilities and its models specific to the British market. The takeover took effect on 1 January 1979. On 1 August 1979, Chrysler Sunbeam became Talbot Sunbeam. But little else was changed. Although the Chrysler badge disappeared from the bonnet, the Talbot Sunbeam kept its Pentastar grille until 1981! The Simca-Chrysler Sunbeam Lotus bodies came off the assembly line at the Linwood (Glasgow) factory and were transported by truck to an aircraft hangar built by Lotus at a site near Norwich. The engines came from the historic Ethel factory, some thirty kilometres away, and the ZF gearboxes arrived directly from Germany. In the hangar, a team of around fifteen mechanics fitted the engine and gearbox into the hull after enlarging the transmission tunnel to make room for the gearbox. The whole assembly was then sent to Coventry before being dispatched to the dealers. Three years after the launch of the 110bhp Golf GTI, the launch of the Lotus Sunbeam at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1979 caused a sensation. With 155 bhp, the Sunbeam was the queen of the road. In July 1979, Peugeot decided to revive a brand it owned in order to unify ex-Chrysler production: Talbot. Fortunately, this had no impact on the Sunbeam Lotus programme or on competition. The first production cars were already in stock in Great Britain, so they had to be rebadged as a matter of urgency before delivery. The Sunbeam Lotus would be delivered with Talbot (front left), Simca (rear left), Sunbeam (rear right), Lotus (sides) and the Chrysler logo engraved in the plastic of the grille. Coming back to the sports car, the Lotus, it was unveiled after the takeover. Except that the first cars were not ready immediately. They were not delivered until after 1st August, and in the meantime had become Talbot Sunbeam Lotuses. They were to shine in rallies, but more about that below. It was not until 1981 that the Talbot Sunbeam really evolved. They were given a 4-year restyling that allowed them to receive, at last, flush-fitting headlights! At the same time, the Pentastar was removed from the radiator grille, which was completely meaningless. The plans for this restyling were in the box. So we brought it out. However, the fate of the Talbot Sunbeam was already sealed. The Linwood plant was saved under Chrysler, not PSA. It is still not profitable, and the group has decided to close it. This means the end of the Avenger... which is still the basis for the Talbot Sunbeam. PSA has no regrets. The Avenger competes with the 305 and the Talbot Sunbeam remains positioned opposite the Horizon, whatever Chrysler may have done. These two cars were more modern. 1981 was therefore the last year of Talbot Sunbeam production. Taking all models (Chrysler and Talbot) together, around 200,000 cars were produced. The last Talbot Sunbeam Lotus cars were hard to sell and were produced in a special ‘Avon’ series, numbered in 1982. The Talbot Sunbeam Lotus in rallies Although the car arrived at a time when the history of the basic model was becoming really bad, its lightning career was to make it a myth, quite simply. It was not homologated in Group 2 until 1980, by which time the necessary 1,000 cars had been built. For world championship rallies, the engine was increased to 250 bhp. In March, it scored its first podium finish with Guy Fréquelin at the wheel and Jean Todt as co-driver: 3rd in the Rally Portugal. Its big breakthrough that year came at the RAC. Henri Toivonen, co-driven by Paul White, won the rally and the two Frenchmen finished 3rd. With a few points scored in Italy, the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus finished 6th in the championship. 1981: the world title That year, the Talbot Lotus Sunbeam challenged the established manufacturers with a formidable team Guy Fréquelin (main driver) Henri Toivonen (rising rally star) Stig Blomqvist and Russell Brookes on certain rounds In 1981, Fréquelin and Todt got off to a strong start with 2nd place in the Monte Carlo Rally. Toivonen and Gallagher then took 2nd place in Portugal and the two Frenchmen achieved a similar result in the Tour of Corsica. Better still, they won Argentina in July and came 2nd in Brazil in August. Toivonen and Gallagher snatched another 2nd place in San Remo and the year ended with Blomsvist and Cederberg finishing 3rd in the RAC. Although Fréquelin was ‘only’ second in the drivers' standings behind Ari Vatanen (in a Ford Escort), the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus became World Rally Champion... just a few weeks before it was to be discontinued! Talbot Sunbeams today It's very rare to come across one. But like many popular cars of the time, only the vitamin-packed versions of the Talbot Sunbeam have survived. So we end up with a rare car... Dimi Mavropoulos took delivery of his car, built at the time by Talbot's Coventry racing department, from the brand's factory cars. As such, it was equipped with all the same parts as the Group 2 ‘works’ cars. This historic Sunbeam Lotus competed in the Castrol Autosport Championship in England and the 1979/80/81/83/84 European Rally Championship. In the 1980s, its Cypriot driver distinguished himself in rallying by becoming Cyprus Rally Champion on several occasions. He also distinguished himself in the UK in the rallycross discipline. At the wheel of this Sunbeam Lotus, he achieved several podiums, finishing second in 1981 and 1982, and once third (in Group B) in 1984. This Sunbeam Lotus received factory support for its construction and was one of the very first Sunbeams to be homologated for rallying. As such, it was fitted with the original factory parts, which it has retained: factory wiring harness, reinforced body, Salsbury self-locking axle, minilite wheels, quick-release axle, 48 mm Solex carburettor, twin fans, adjustable front/rear brake distribution, hydraulic handbrake, large radiator, dry sump. Sold in the 1980s to a driving school near Silverstone (Rally Racing Ltd), it was acquired a few years later by a Swiss private individual who carried out the first major restoration work (many photos attached to the file). Repainted in white, the ATT 790T has changed from its original Castrol livery to a factory Chrysler Competition livery, easily identifiable by rally enthusiasts. Acquired in the early 2010s by an enthusiast living in the Rhône-Alpes region, he set about restoring the car in full compliance with its Group 2 homologation sheet. It was also during this period that the owner decided to convert this Talbot Sunbeam Lotus into an LHD. Sold in 2017 to its previous owner, a collector living in Haute-Savoie, before ending up in the hands of its current owner. Since then, the Sunbeam Lotus has taken part in a number of test drives. It has its original registration and has been restored to comply with the Group 2 homologation form. Eligible for the Tour de Corse Historique, Rallye de San-Remo, Rallye Costa Brava, Rallye de l'Acropole.... This Sunbeam Talbot Lotus is accompanied by an extensive history file, its FIA PTH (period I) and all recent invoices relating to the engine rebuild.

As one of only 1’128 examples of the series built, this Jensen, with the Chassis Nr. 125 5195 was built towards the end of the 1970ies and delivered to Switzerland. The Interceptor was sold by Edgar Schwyn and was first registered in the Canton Ticino in January 1971. The first owner had the lovely coupé repainted from its original reef blue to the actual marine blue. At around 1974/5 the Jensen was sold to its second owner who kept the car until 2007. In the September of that year the Brit in Italian clothing arrived with its third and so far last owner. He drove the car over the last ten years for around 28’500 kilometres and the 68’500 kilometres shown would indicate a total mileage of 168’500 kilometres. In the last years a stainless-steel exhaust system was installed, the camshaft and all hydraulic valve lifters were replaced, the air conditioning system received a new compressor and was converted to R134, the steering box was overhauled, a new carburettor was installed and the brake servo as well as the brake master cylinder were overhauled as well. All receipts for maintenance and revision work since 2007 are available. The Interceptor is in technically good to very good condition as is the coachwork which, together with the original interior show age correct signs of use.

Alfa Romeo’s first post-war production car, the Giulietta Sprint 2+2 Coupe with coachwork by Bertone, debuted to the public at the Turin Motor Show in 1954. Demand for the then-handbuilt car quickly outstripped supply leaving Alfa Romeo to rethink their production strategy with a look towards becoming a high-volume manufacturer. In 1956, Alfa accepted Pinninfarina’s design over that of Bertone’s for their latest Giulietta Spider. Built on a modified coupe chassis, the Spider was built at the insistence of famed New York importer, Max Hoffman, who had seen how well open-top British and German cars were received stateside.  The first Giulietta Spider carried a revy 1.3L, all-alloy, twin-cam 4-cylinder engine. The drivetrain sat within a steel unibody chassis that weighed less than 1900lbs. As was the case with pre-war Alfas, dealers soon saw a demand for an uprated, more powerful version for customers with competition in mind. Giulietta Sprint and Spider Veloces arrived, complete with high-performance engines which raised the power by 15%, and modified bodywork. Just 1,203 Giulietta Spider Veloces were produced and today remain among the most desirable and collectible of the post-war Alfas.  We are very pleased to offer this restored example of the desirable Giulietta Spider Veloce 750F. Chassis 5660, was completed at the Milanese plant on January 3, 1959, finished in white and delivered to the US where it was sold through Hoffman Motor Car Co. of New York days later on January 20. It appears in the 1990s in the hands of Mr. Ralph Day. Day, owner of BMW of Concord in Concord, CA, embarked on a 3-phase restoration beginning with an interior refreshing by marque specialist Myron Ash of Ashcroft Restorations in Phoenix, Arizona, and exterior repaint by BMW of Concord in its present and current shade of BMW 308 Red. The restoration of the driveline, by Conrad Stevenson of Berkeley, CA, is most notable. Stevenson adapted the Veloce’s exhaust manifold, carburetors, air box and filter, headers, and oil sump, to a 1,750cc block, then mated the engine to an uprated 5-Speed manual transmission. The charging system was converted to an alternator while a larger front sway bar was added along with other suspension changes. Just before the turning of the new millennium, chassis 5660 appears as a participant on the storied California Mille and continues to wear its Nardi steering wheel, issued to tour participants, today.   In 2004 with 86,000 miles recorded, the Spider found its newest and current owner, a Philadelphia, PA-based European car collector. The car has been cared for and looked after since thanks to consistent service records on file, and now shows a scant 87,500 on the odometer.  An instantly recognizable styling form, and remaining one of the most popular Italian sports cars still, the Giulietta Spider is widely regarded as an ideal Alfa for tours and rallies. The uprated Spider Veloce with its nimble handling and revy twin-cam motor, together with the Pinin Farina styling, truly complete the package of classic motoring. This luscious red Spider certainly affords turn-key access to the country’s best and most exciting tours, rallies, and Concours events.  1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce LBI Limited If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright Alfa Romeo’s first post-war production car, the Giulietta Sprint 2+2 Coupe with coachwork by Bertone, debuted to the public at the Turin Motor Show in 1954. Demand for the then-handbuilt car quickly outstripped supply leaving Alfa Romeo to rethink their production strategy with a look towards becoming a high-volume manufacturer. In 1956, Alfa accepted Pinninfarina’s design over that of Bertone’s for their latest Giulietta Spider. Built on a modified coupe chassis, the Spider was built at the insistence of famed New York importer, Max Hoffman, who had seen how well open-top British and German cars were received stateside. The first Giulietta Spider carried a revy 1.3L, all-alloy, twin-cam 4-cylinder engine. The drivetrain sat within a steel unibody chassis that weighed less than 1900lbs. As was the case with pre-war Alfas, dealers soon saw a demand for an uprated, more powerful version for customers with competition in mind. Giulietta Sprint and Spider Veloces arrived, complete with high-performance engines which raised the power by 15%, and modified bodywork. Just 1,203 Giulietta Spider Veloces were produced and today remain among the most desirable and collectible of the post-war Alfas. We are very pleased to offer this restored example of the desirable Giulietta Spider Veloce 750F. Chassis 5660, was completed at the Milanese plant on January 3, 1959, finished in white and delivered to the US where it was sold through Hoffman Motor Car Co. of New York days later on January 20. It appears in the 1990s in the hands of Mr. Ralph Day. Day, owner of BMW of Concord in Concord, CA, embarked on a 3-phase restoration beginning with an interior refreshing by marque specialist Myron Ash of Ashcroft Restorations in Phoenix, Arizona, and exterior repaint by BMW of Concord in its present and current shade of BMW 308 Red. The restoration of the driveline, by Conrad Stevenson of Berkeley, CA, is most notable. Stevenson adapted the Veloce’s exhaust manifold, carburetors, air box and filter, headers, and oil sump, to a 1,750cc block, then mated the engine to an uprated 5-Speed manual transmission. The charging system was converted to an alternator while a larger front sway bar was added along with other suspension changes.

Regarded as one of the greatest air-cooled Porsches—and among the finest all-around sports cars—ever constructed, the 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7 rightly sits at the center of many world-class collections. Yet the Carrera RS 2.7 presented here offers even more to the discerning enthusiast: It is one of only 200 examples of the hallowed model built in the factory Lightweight specification. Further enhancing its desirability, is an extremely rare United States-delivery car with a known history from new. Equipped with its numbers-matching Type 911/83 magnesium-crankcase engine and numbers-matching five-speed gearbox, and also exhibiting the correct under-dash Porsche production number, it is finished in its factory-correct colors. As noted by the copy of its original Porsche Fahrzeug-Auftrag (vehicle order form) on file dated 29 May 1973, this chassis was specified in Grand Prix White (908) with red exterior lettering over a Black leatherette interior. Factory options include a tinted/heated rear window, three-point seat belts, and left and right headsets; of course, the order form also notes the coveted lightweight Sport package (M471), representing a suite of features and deletions that, taken together, shaved over 200 pounds off the comparable Touring model in the pursuit of uncompromised performance. According to the original sales invoice on file from Holbert’s Porsche Audi of Warrington, Pennsylvania, the car was sold new to Halsey Frederick on 16 March 1974. Interestingly, along with the $15,000 cash price for the new Carrera RS 2.7 Lightweight, the invoice notes an immediate repaint from its factory Grand Prix White to the Porsche color Albert Blue, bringing the total cost to $15,500. Although Mr. Frederick was noted as a resident of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, he apparently kept the car in New Hampshire; a 1974 letter on file details minor service work done to the car, and requests additional sealed beam headlights to help pass the Granite State’s vehicle inspection process. Mr. Frederick scrupulously cared for this rare Porsche for nearly 25 years, with invoices on file detailing the attention he lavished on the car. In addition to routine service and maintenance items, in 1975 he also had the vehicle rust-proofed and custom-ordered Recaro seats to replace the rather spartan Lightweight-specification factory units. When he parted ways with the Porsche in the late 1990s, it was noted as displaying fewer than 32,000 miles. The second owner of this 911 was none other than illustrious collector Otis Chandler, who soon began the process of returning the car to its as-delivered appearance. As indicated by invoices and photos on file, the Albert Blue paint was removed from the car’s well-preserved bodywork, and its Grand Prix White (with red lettering) exterior appearance was restored. Further, its custom Recaro seats were replaced with correct Carrera RS 2.7 Lightweight buckets. Chandler sold the restored car on in October 2001, and it remained in the collection of its third owner for a decade. In 2011, the 911 was acquired by the White Collection, and its previous restoration benefitted from further fine-tuning, including the restoration and fitment of proper staggered, color-matched Fuchs wheels, the fitment of a correct heat exchanger, and the replacement of perishable rubber components and hardware with factory-correct components. While in the collection, the car has been started monthly and run to operating temperature. Appearing now as it left the factory, and retaining its numbers-matching Type 911/83 engine and gearbox, this 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 Lightweight is an authentic and extremely rare, United States-delivery example of the sports car against which all others are judged.
