History of the Ferrari 308 GTS Ferrari, always an innovator in engineering and design, elected to change sports car paradigms in 1975, when they ushered in the Pininfarina designed Ferrari 308. The all-new Ferrari debuted at the 1975 Paris Auto Show to enthusiastic acclaim. Ferrari delivered a refreshing approach via designer Leonardo Fioravanti, who had penned many of Ferrari's most celebrated cars including the Daytona, the Dino, and the Berlinetta Boxer. Within a short period of time, the 308 quickly became a feature of television shows, movies, and advertising posters, while shaping public opinion about what a sports car should look and feel like. Although initially limited to a fixed roof configuration, the GTS arrived in 1977, featuring a removable satin black roof panel, which could be stowed in a vinyl cover behind the seats when not in use. In 1980, the 308 was updated with fuel-injection which allowed for better emissions yet compromised performance with a loss of power, delivering only 202 hp on US models. Ferrari set about developing a solution to the output challenge in 1982 launching the Quattrovalvole. This four-valve per cylinder engine resulted in a 232 hp output without compromising emission requirements for the all-important US market. Exterior body changes were minor but important, including a new grille with rectangular driving lights, a longitudinal hood vent to aid in evacuating warm air, and rectangular front side marker lights. Limited in production, while blending the best of the early series 308 with a more potent engine, the 308 QV has since become more and more sought after by enthusiasts who seek a Ferrari that can be enjoyably driven on a more regular basis. History of this Ferrari 308 Quattrovalvole GTS This beautifully preserved Ferrari 308 Quattrovalvole GTS was assembled at the Ferrari factory in February 1983 and delivered for US sale to the dealership Valley Porsche Audi Ferrari in Spokane, WA. The Ferrari service booklet shows service stamps for portions of the history, supporting more than 20 years of California ownership by the former owner. The prior owner is believed to have been the third owner of the car, retaining several original ownership documents and service records. Invoices include a 2015 timing belt, tune up, clutch adjustment, and fluids at 20,022 miles. In February 2020, showing 20,120 miles, the car was serviced with a comprehensive overview, timing belt service, and the replacement of all major fuel hoses, gaskets, spark plugs, air and fuel filters, fluids, and other details serviced as needed totaling almost $7,000.00 as performed by Italian car specialist L. Buskirk Co., Novato, CA. The current owner purchased this car from Fantasy Junction in 2021 and has continued to maintain and service the car while accumulating an additional 3,000 miles during their four-year ownership. Under current ownership a new set of Bridgestone Potenza RW 71 RS 205/55 R16 front and 225/55 R16 rear tires were installed in July 2021, a Momo suede steering wheel was installed (original retained and included with the car), and a new Optima battery was installed in August 2024. Condition and Current Presentation Today, with just 23,178 miles indicated, this beautifully preserved Ferrari presents as a wonderful original example throughout. The original paint is in excellent condition with high luster and great gloss to the Rosso Corsa finish applied at the factory, confirmed by the 4-7 micron readings achieved when metering the body surfaces. Although some minor road chips are noted at the front of the car, the remainder of the body is in excellent condition throughout. The hood and trunk open and shut smoothly, displaying very nice fit with even panel gaps. Doors also open and shut without issue. The black trim remains in excellent condition with no major flaws or notable warpage due to excessive heat exposure. At some point prior to current ownership, a protective satin black coating was applied to the bottom sections of the car and the front air dam. The removable roof panel and distinctive rear deck spoiler are in very good condition with no marks or flaws of note. The glass appears to be original and in excellent condition as are the various window gaskets, black trim for the side vents and engine cover. The Ferrari emblems and badges are in excellent condition as are the lenses and lighting, further supporting the superb preservation and low miles. The car is currently wearing BBS gold web wheels and tires which are in very good to excellent condition, showing no curb rash or damage to the polished and painted surfaces. The original millimeter spec wheels and factory Michelin tires remain in impeccable condition and are included with the car. Inside the car, the tan leather interior has been preserved and maintained to a high standard. The seats are comfortable, and the leather remains soft and supple with only minor wear on the driver’s left side seat bolster. Carpeting is also well preserved with evidence of use in keeping with the miles shown. Instruments, center console, and steering wheel are in very good to excellent condition with no fading or unusual wear. The door panels have been fitted with aftermarket speakers and a replacement gear shift knob has been added, but otherwise, the interior remains very much as the factory outfitted the 308 in 1983. The removable top removes and attaches easily, stowing in the factory case behind the seats, making for both open and closed cockpit driving without the hassle of a folding convertible top. The trunk compartment is also in excellent condition with original black carpeting and a taut black zipper liner which smoothly opens and closes for access to this storage compartment. The engine compartment is clean and well maintained with the most recent timing belt change service recorded in February 202o. The engine and surrounding compartment remain original without significant modifications. The matching red intake plenum sits atop the 32-valve V8, boasting the added horsepower offered in the QV configuration. The handsome cast aluminum heads and red ignition wires deliver all the visual engagement of a finely preserved Ferrari showing only modest amounts of patina since offered new. Factory finishes and original data plates, coded labels, and warning information items remain in place including the Ferrari engine number pictured in the image gallery. Inside the front storage area, the unused original Michelin spare tire (still retaining the molded-in Mr. Bibendum figure on the high sidewall) mounted to the factory rim sits snugly inside the front tub, which appears to be in excellent condition showing no cracks or excessive scratches as is often seen in cars with more accumulated miles. The underside of the car is tidy and clean, and the rear scuff plate, installed to protect the various components, remains in good condition. Some evidence of road use is present, in keeping with the mileage shown on the odometer with no visual evidence of structural compromise. The car starts easily, idling smoothly, ready for driving. The improved power delivery in the Quattrovalvole is notable especially when compared to earlier iterations of the 308. The well-balanced chassis, improved suspension, 16” wheels, and open coachwork offers very rewarding driving particularly via the gated manual gearbox. Braking is quite good even when coming down from high speeds. Most impressively, the 32-valve engine delivers expressive power and great range without the fussiness often presented with carbureted cars. Included with this Ferrari The car is accompanied by the original wheels and tires, the original steering wheel, a factory tool roll, tools, jack and case, owner’s embroidered fabric and leather folio with manual and service booklet, and selected service records. 1983 Ferrari 308 GTSi Quattrovalve Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Series 1 4.2 is regarded by many as being one of the most desirable of all Jaguar E-types, retaining the style of the early cars but featuring a number of significant improvements. The beautiful example being offered for sale here has completed only a handful of miles since a complete restoration. Chassis number 1E 14549 was originally a left-hand drive car that was dispatched from the factory to Jaguar Cars New York on 24 February 1967. Finished in Willow Green with a black interior, it was then delivered to its first owner – a William H Wilson. During the 1980s and 1990s, the E-type was owned by an enthusiast in Alameda, California, but by the time it was exported back to the UK in 2015 via a Florida-based specialist, it was in need of a total rebuild. The work was completed with no expense being spared. Renowned specialist Martin Robey carried out a full restoration on the Jaguar’s bodywork, while new engine side-frames and the ‘picture frame’ crossmember were also fitted–plus reinforced inner sills. The car was converted to right-hand drive, the engine, suspension and braking system were all rebuilt, the interior was retrimmed in its original colour, and the bodywork was treated to a painstaking eight-layer paint process during which it was refinished in black. The total cost of the restoration was more than £100,000, and the E-type was first registered in the UK in March 2020. It retains its matching-numbers engine (7E 11905-9) and is supplied with an extensive file of invoices and photographs that document the rebuild. Few cars from any era can match the style of a Series 1 E-type Roadster, and this example remains in exceptional condition following its return to the road. It’s a beautiful, fast and extremely usable choice of open-top sports car – just as it was during the 1960s. 1967 Jaguar E-Type The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Supplied new to North America as a standard Roadster, this Jaguar E-type has been converted into a competition car of the highest standard and evokes the look and specification of the legendary Lightweight models that were built by the factory in the 1960s. Race-prepared by renowned Market Drayton-based specialist Valley Motorsport, for Jon Minshaw, the E-type features a highly tuned all-alloy engine that is suitable for events such as Peter Auto’s Sixties Endurance series. The 3.8-litre straight-six is running on triple Weber 48 DCO3 carburettors, plus a six-branch exhaust manifold that runs into a side-exit pipe. A cast-iron engine that would be suitable for road-based events is also available, and both engines are covered by current HTP papers. The gearbox is the correct 1964-spec Jaguar four-speed manual, driving through a Salisbury Powr-Lok limited-slip diff. The fire-extinguisher system, seat, harness and fuel cell are all still ‘in date’, while the specification includes a heated windscreen and a high-amp alternator that is ideally suited to endurance racing. This E-type was developed with the Spa Six Hours very much in mind and extra ‘pod-style’ front lights are available. The suspension, wheel bearings and braking system have all recently been rebuilt. The front suspension is fully adjustable in terms of dampers, geometry and ride height, while anti-roll bars are fitted front and rear. The car is running on Avon tyres – 225/60 at the front and 245/60 at the rear. Having been built into competition specification, this Jaguar has been raced all over Europe by some of the best-known names on the historic scene. E-type maestro Jon Minshaw raced it in the Graham Hill Trophy at Goodwood’s 74th Members’ Meeting, and later in 2016 he shared it with long-time co-driver Phil Keen in the Gentlemen Drivers race at the Zolder Masters Festival. After being acquired by enthusiast Martin Halusa, the E-type continued to feature at the sharp end in events such as the Espiritu de Montjuic at Barcelona, the Silverstone Classic and the Spa Six Hours. During this time the specialist team at High Tech Motorsport in Kidderminster have prepared the car to the highest level, irrespective of cost to ensure reliability and competitiveness. Now being offered for sale with current HTP papers until 2026, this Jaguar E-type Semi-Lightweight has been prepared to exacting standards and is eligible for the greatest events in historic motorsport, from all of those listed above to the Le Mans Classic, Jaguar Classic Challenge and Modena Cento Ore. 1964 Jaguar E-Type The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

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.

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.

This is a genuine, early Bizzarrini which was inspected by Jack Koobs de Hartog, who is very much a recognised expert on Bizzarrinis and has written several books on the cars. The car was built at the end of 1965 when Piero Rivolta and Bizzarrini fell out and therefore, although much of the car would have been built alongside other ISO A3/C s, it was originally badged as a Bizzarrini. This example is 1 of just 12 of a total of 73 5300 GTs built with a lightweight aluminium body and De-Dion rear suspension. These cars were one of the first to pair the Italian prowess and sophistication with the brute of an American-sourced powerplant. With known ownership from new, this Bizzarrini was supplied new the USA where it remained until 2002. Supplied new by Bizzarrini to the USA 2nd Owner - Carey Loftin - LA 3rd Owner - Bill DeCarr - LA 4th Owner - Rudy Klein - LA 5th Owner - Ron Spindler - LA 6th Owner - Scott Stupay - Virginia 7th Owner – Jamie McIntyre - UK This example has recently been treated to a full recommissioning by specialist preparers, Pursuit, to match the specification of the first ISO A3/C Corsa; a car which, unlike the Bizzarrini-badged cars, raced in early 1964. This was an important factor; as the car needed to be able to gain entry to Goodwood. It is also worth noting that all original parts that were removed during the rebuild have been carefully retained, including all interior trim and brightwork. There are disc brakes all round, independent front suspension and a De-Dion rear axle. The engine BHP has been reduced from just over 470bhp to 448bhp in favour of a more linear curve and increased torque. As such, the car is eligible for numerous events during the racing calendar, including the Goodwood TT, the Spa Six Hours and the Masters historic racing series where it would be without doubt a front runner in the right hands. The restoration process included a distinct focus on weight-saving where possible, with the outcome being a reduction of over 30kgs. A bespoke, inconel, silenced exhaust system was developed and fitted. Amends were made to the car to ensure it conformed to HTP regulations and tipping the scales at a scant 1,098kg, it meets the minimum homologated weight. Accompanying the car are a large number of documents and photographs of the rebuild and of the car in its dismantled state. Post restoration laps at Goodwood saw the car set a time that would have put it on pole for Goodwood TT only a few weeks later As well as a full gearbox and differential refresh, the overhaul included engine dyno testing, damper testing, a brake rebuild and subsequent testing to ensure this example is ready to race.

Few cars scream 1970s sex appeal like the Ferrari 246 Dino GT, a model conceived to inject some welcomed sporting youth into a 12-cylinder range which very much appealed to the marque’s older clientele. How beautiful is that sultry soap-bar body? It could only be the work of Pininfarina, which, in the face of the angular geometric aesthetic trends of the time, still managed to make it look fresh and contemporary. Arguably the best thing about the Dino is that it’s every bit as good to drive as it is to look at – something that certainly can’t be said of every late-1960s/early-1970s sports car. Chassis no. 06096 Every now and then, the cars we encounter , whether that’s because of their condition, their history or their specification. This right-hand-drive 1973 Ferrari 246 Dino GT is one such example. Allow us to explain. Finished in Argento Auteuil (106.E.1) over a Red (VM 3171) full leather interior and with optional electric windows, this final-development E-series 246 Dino GT – chassis number 06096 – was ordered on 30 November 1972 via Maranello Concessionaires, which subsequently sold the Dino to Dick Lovett in Swindon. Chassis number 06096 was acquired by the first of its mere three owners, a Manchester-based metal magnate by the name of Robert Cooper, in May of 1973. Despite Cooper only keeping it for six months and covering a mere 1,270 miles, he did return the car to Lovett for its two scheduled complimentary services, as shown in the original Dino Warranty Card. On 13 October 1973, Cooper sold this Dino to William John Charles Ford, a prominent British collector of motorcycles and, as it turns out, an incredibly diligent owner. Not only did he painstakingly log every single journey he completed over the course of his 17-year ownership, but also when he charged the battery and routinely ran the engine up. These original logs, the latter of which was scrawled on both sides of a Graypaul Ferrari business card, can be found in the accompanying history file, which also – unsurprisingly – includes maintenance invoices and MOT certificates. By the time he parted with chassis number 06096, Ford had added only 4,283 miles to the overall total. To say he cherished his Dino would be a serious understatement. This 246 GT’s third and final owner – a prominent UK-based Ferrari collector who counts, among many others, a 250 GTO in his stable – assumed custody of 06096 in October of 1990. And in the 33 years that followed, the car has travelled less than 300 miles, spending the majority of its time carefully stored at The Light Car Company in Faringdon. Unsurprisingly, this sheltered life has, today, resulted in a Dino that beguiles with its originality. This is no ‘barn find’ – the metallic-silver bodywork has aged beautifully, in generally excellent condition and showing only a handful of small stone chips around the nose and the expected signs of gentle patination. The windows are all original, showing the correct hallmarks in the correct locations. Inside, the leather hide has aged incredibly well. The headlining is taught and not sagging at all, and because it’s spent almost its entire life indoors, the original mouse-hair dash has not faded. Parts of the interior such as the forward transmission tunnel and the driver’s side sill are actually still covered in their factory plastic protective wrapping. The 8-track stereo remains functional and in the glovebox you’ll find the manual contingency winder for the otherwise electric windows. These are incredibly rare. Peer behind the steering wheel at the column and you’ll even find the sealed customs tag from when the car was originally imported to the United Kingdom. We shouldn’t be surprised with the condition. This Dino has only covered 5,850 miles and has always been carefully stored and maintained. It should go without saying that chassis 06096 retains all its accompanying factory paraphernalia: its tool roll, jack (complete with leather pouch), and leather books pouch, containing the warranty card, service book, owner’s manual and spare-parts catalogue. The latter documents are all in excellent condition – a credit to the car’s former keepers. “Peer behind the steering wheel at the column and you’ll even find the sealed customs tag from when the car was originally imported to the United Kingdom.” Finding 1970s Ferraris in such condition and with such provenance today is an increasingly rare occurrence, which goes some way to explain why we’re so excited by this Dino. Chassis 06096 is certainly a car that needs to be seen in the metal to be truly appreciated. 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GT Girardo & Co.

From the reported 281 examples of the XJ220 built by JaguarSport—a co-venture between Jaguar and its factory motorsport partner Tom Walkinshaw Racing—the car offered here is numbered 265. The accompanying JDHT certificate issued in April 2024 records a 22 November 1993 date of production. Chassis number 220673 then left the factory on 19 January 1994 finished originally in Silverstone Green over a Sand leather interior. First registered during September 1996, the supercar was subsequently repainted in its current, non-standard shade of Dark Grey. By 2015, the Big Cat resided in Switzerland and then in February 2018 was sent to leading XJ220 expert Don Law Racing in the United Kingdom. In addition to a thorough engine service, plus the installation of new seals, belts, gaskets, and lines, the braking system was upgraded and BBS alloy wheels fitted at a total cost of £19,451 (invoices available to view on file). Purchased by the consignor in June 2020 via collector car specialist Insidecars of Reiden, the XJ220’s odometer showed just 4,492 kilometres at the time of cataloguing. More recent maintenance duties have been entrusted to Rebellion Motors of Lausanne. While in the care of the workshop during 2021, the car received nearly 5,800 CHF-worth of sorting and fine tuning to its fuel system and electricals. Further complemented by a parts manual, service book, first aid kit, and tool kit in a leather case, this McLaren F1-rivalling Jaguar is set to entice collectors of record breakers, landmark supercars, and dedicated marque enthusiasts alike. 1993 Jaguar XJ220 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Introduced in 1992, the Escort RS Cosworth was an 'homologation special' based on the 5th-generation Ford Escort and its sole role was to incorporate parts that Ford planned to use in their 'Group A' rally cars to ensure success in the World Rally Championship, a Group A ‘rally car for the road’ - pure and simple. It was available as a road car from 1992-1996 in limited numbers from Ford’s Specialist Vehicle Engineering (SVE) team, combining the hand-assembled engine expertise of Cosworth and the coach-building crafts of Karmann. Powered by the familiar 2.0-litre turbocharged, longitudinally-mounted, Cosworth-developed engine driving all four wheels, the Stephen Harper-designed car was engineered in Boreham with final assembly by Karmann in Germany. The potential of the Escort was evident in its first ever event, the 1993 Monte Carlo Rally, where Delecour and Biasion came 2nd and 3rd respectively. The Escort continued to be very competitive throughout the '93 and '94 seasons but it was a 'one-off' guest drive by Tommi Makinen that provided the long-awaited win on the 1994 ‘1000 Lakes’ Rally, the first of many high-profile top-flight rally victories. Additionally, and true to Ford's grassroots philosophy, the Escort Cosworth provided a platform for National Rallying and Club enthusiasts throughout the world to enjoy 'off-the-shelf' competitive support, securing its status as a true Ford icon. Only 7,145 Ford Escort RS Cosworth examples were ever produced, with the original and highly coveted ‘Big Turbo’ models numbering just 2,500, being built for specifically for homologation. The car presented here is a 1993 Ford Escort RS Cosworth, in the striking and sought-after paint colour of Pacifica Blue (Code J2), one of five launch colours chosen by Ford to showcase their new ‘halo’ model. This example was specified from new with the 'Lux' pack, adding Recaro seats (the more expensive perforated Raven leather upholstery, Code LW, option here), opening rear quarter windows, electrically operated and heated door mirrors, ‘Quickclear’ heated windscreen, heated washer jets, three-spoke leather covered steering wheel, central double locking, tailgate release, lights on warning, rear centre armrest, rear head restraints, sunroof, and electric windows - plus the factory option of genuine Ford floor-mats which are the ultra-rare high specification in deep blue to complement the exterior finish, whilst an owner has added the subtle additions of a Magnex stainless steel exhaust system, a Sigma Category 1 alarm system, and genuine Ford headlamp protectors. It was built at the Rhein Assembly Plant in Germany in November 1992 and registered new on the 15th January 1993, making it one of the highly-collectable 2,500 ‘Big Turbo’ homologation specials on a 'K-registration'. It was supplied new by Ford RS Dealer, Tony Brooks of Weybridge, with their dealership rear screen sticker and tax discs holder still affixed, whilst the book-pack still contains the original staff business cards and dealer keyrings, always a good sign! The accompanying history file suggests diligent ownership and is as complete as possible for a 32-year-old car. The paperwork is meticulously presented in individual folders, with chronologically-filed service invoices and virtually every MOT Certificate, whilst the original service book contains 14 stamped entries. The car's previous owner was Vice Chairman of the Hertfordshire and North London RS Owners Club and, also present, is a separate file housing all the RS Owners Club membership documentation and multiple agreed valuations, the most recent being £82,000 in 2021. Within the file are copies of Practical Classics and Fast Ford magazines where this actual car, chosen for its amazing condition and provenance, feature in a detailed Buyers’ Guide and its three original keys including the master blade further emphasise the Escort's delightful originality. Servicing is fully up-to-date, with a cambelt change completed in June 2022. This is an exceptional Ford in every respect, undoubtedly 'collector quality', with just a single previous recorded owner, continuous upkeep, servicing and storage by Ford marque enthusiasts, and a low-but-useable mileage, ensuring it can still be ‘exercised’ on the right days, reminding its lucky owner just how well they perform and why they have become so sought-after. 1993 Ford Escort RS Cosworth Lux Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

It was available as a road car from 1992-1996 in limited numbers from Ford’s Specialist Vehicle Engineering (SVE) team, combining the hand-assembled engine expertise of Cosworth and the coach-building crafts of Karmann.
