1952 Bentley R-Type Continental Fastback: The very First of Just 43 Examples Specified in Left-Hand DriveThis 1952 Bentley R-Type Continental Fastback is the first of just 43 examples specified in left-hand drive. An early A-series chassis, of which only 26 were built, chassis BC8LA was completed by Bentley in May 1952, and then transported to H.J. Mulliner, where it was fitted with the iconic fastback coachwork. The body fitted to BC8LA, no. 5473, was finished in an attractive combination of Silver Blue and Blue with light blue, possibly UM 3086, Connolly leather upholstery. Factory records confirm that BC8LAs list of original equipment included "heavy" seats with elbow rests, a cubby compartment located under the instrument panel, with a later annotation that this was the first time it had been done, and private locks on both doors. The transmission is manual on the column. Outwardly, the Continental was equipped with steel bumpers, a plain radiator without a mascot, and wing mirrors.As recorded in the definitive Continental register, this car was shipped to New York aboard the SS American Flyer in September 1952. That October, J.S. Inskip delivered the new Bentley to its first owner, Howard W. Kizer of Montclair, New Jersey and also at Texaco Oil Company, Chrysler Building, 135 East 42nd Street, New York City. The guarantee was issued on 3rd October 1952, at the time of delivery, according to a later letter. By the time he acquired BC8LA, Mr. Kizer was already a well-established Rolls-Royce and Bentley client, having commissioned several spectacular custom-bodied cars for his personal use. He is perhaps best known as the Texaco executive who, in the 1930s, designed the companys famous Doodlebug streamlined tanker trucks. Mr. Kizer owned BC8LA for about two years and then it was sold, via Inskip, to Dorothy King of Miami Beach, Florida. There is a letter in 1956 from Inskip to her husband, Curtis King, of Palm Springs, CA discussing tires and expressing concern about Mrs. King who was apparently very sick. She nonetheless kept the Bentley until 1964, when Laurel Hampel of Upper Lake Road, Thousand Oaks, California, acquired it. In January 1968, George Church Chilberg of Bonsall, California, noticed an advertisement for the Bentley in the Los Angeles Times and bought it for $2,900. The bill of sale provided for a $400 down payment and balance within six months.An avid collector and vintage racer, George Chilberg maintained a fine collection of English sports cars, including an MG L-Type, Allard J2, Lagonda LG45 Rapide, and several Bentleys: a 3 Litre, 8 Litre, and a Derby. Of all the cars he owned, Mr. Chilbergs favorite was the R-Type Continental a model he regarded as the ultimate collectible Bentley. During his 50-plus years of ownership, Mr. Chilberg drove BC8LA tens of thousands of miles and took part in numerous Bentley Drivers Club events, having been a member of the BDC for the same period of 50 years. In the early 1990s, he carried out a comprehensive restoration that included rebuilding the engine, overhauling the mechanical systems, and refinishing the bodywork in the current tan over brown color scheme. The mechanical work may have been carried out by Jim Rickman in California as there is a reference to payments to him in excess of $12,700. Significantly, BC8LA still retains its matching-numbers 4.5-litre engine, no. BCA8, and original H.J. Mulliner body tag. It is accompanied by a selection of hand tools and ownership records, including the original 1968 Bill of Sale.Among the earliest Continentals built, and the very first produced in left-hand drive, BC8LA represents an important landmark in the production of this iconic Bentley model. This Mulliner Fastback was built to order for an important American customer and cherished by one passionate caretaker for more than five decades. Whether its new owner decides to enjoy this elegant Continental in its current condition, as an ideal touring car, or restore it to its original splendor, they will be confident in knowing they have acquired a fine, historic example of the most desirable postwar Bentley.Coachwork by H.J.

Aston Martin

Lost and Found: 1965 Aston Martin DB5 LHD Matching Numbers Out of 50 Year OwnershipThis extremely original 1965 Aston Martin DB5 is a matching numbers left-hand drive example out of 50 year ownership. Offered with its Factory Build Sheet and Heritage Certificate, this DB5 was delivered new in one of the models most definitive color schemes Silver Birch with Red Connelly leather. Never restored and never offered publicly for sale in 5 decades. The motor turns freely but it's not currently running as it's been sitting off the road for several years.  There is no other Aston Martin as iconic as the DB5. Launched in 1963 as the companys flagship grand tourer, it instantly became an object of desire. Interest went stratospheric with an unforgettable appearance in the 1964 box office smash Goldfinger. But the DB5 was so much more than a handsome film prop. Based on the outgoing DB4s chassis, the DB5 boasted nearly 170 updates and modifications, including the attractive, competition-style, covered headlights borrowed from the DB4GT. Mechanical updates to the running gear included a redesigned suspension, with the front adjusted for camber, and Armstrong Selectaride shock absorbers added in the rear. All four corners were equipped with servo-assisted Girling disc brakes. The most notable advancement was the new 4.0-liter, inline, six-cylinder enginean enlarged version of the DB4s all-aluminum, dual overhead camshaft unit, breathing through three SU carburetors as on the previous DB4 Vantage. The enlarged engine provided spirited acceleration, with some 40 pound-feet of additional torque making it more responsive in the lower rev range. Coupled with the fully synchromesh ZF five-speed manual transmission, the result was a true drivers carswift, surefooted, and comfortable.  Any DB5 is a blue-chip Aston Martin, just as joyful to drive as it is to admire in a serious collection of sports and GT cars. It's almost impossible to find an unrestored left-hand drive DB5, so this matching numbers unrestored example out of 50 year ownership is likely a once in a lifetime opportunity for any enthusiast or collector.

Right-Hand Drive 1974 Ferrari 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer: Matching Numbers and 1 of 58 Built in RHD This 1974 Ferrari 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer is one of only 58 built in right-hand drive configuration for the UK market. Chassis number '17649' left the factory finished in stunning Blu Chiaro with beige Connolly leather interior. A matching numbers example with known ownership history. It was extensively restored by Keys Motorsport 2*number in the description* and has only covered circa 500 miles since completion. It currently runs and drives great and is in excellent condition throughout.  The car was delivered to Colonel Ronnie Hoare's Maranello Concessionaires in the UK and sold to its first owner, one D K Shead, in March 1974. The original registration was '77 D'. In the early 1980s the Ferrari changed hands, passing to one A G F Oldworth and being re-registered as 'CJ 15'. Next owner Peter English reregistered the Boxer as 'RLJ 565M' in 1984, and the registration changed yet again, on this occasion to '8332 RE', when Roger L Earl of Surrey acquired the car in 1985. The next private owner listed in the accompanying Massini Report is Mr Christopher Roberts, who owned the Ferrari in the mid-1990s, at which time it carried the registration 'DBY 462M' (the current mark). Mr David Tregar was the next owner (in the late 1990s) followed by Mr Ian Entwistle (circa 2000). On 25th January 2006 the Ferrari was registered in the UK to Mr Andrew Stear of London, from whom it was purchased by the previous owner in June 2012. Bills on file show that the car was initially maintained by Bob Houghton before being extensively restored by marque specialists Keys Motorsport of Silverstone between 2014 and 2020 at a cost of more than 94,000.  Unquestionably one of the greatest cars Ferrari has ever built, and its first to feature a flat-12 engine, the 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer debuted at the 1971 Turin Show in prototype form and commenced production in 1973 almost unaltered. At the time of its introduction the 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer was the world's fastest and most expensive car. Only 367 were constructed between 1973 and 1976 and it remains one of the most desirable and sought after of all Ferraris.  1974 Ferrari 365 GT4 Berlinetta BoxerRegistration no.

Alfa Romeo

Giulietta

1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ Delivered New to Rinaldo ParmigianiWhen, in 1956, a wrecked Giulietta Sprint Veloce was taken to Elio Zagato for new coachwork, a remarkable transformation took place. By fitting a lighter, more aerodynamic body to the already potent Veloce foundation, Zagato created a Giulietta with the potential to rival GT cars of far greater displacement. Other Sprint Veloce owners soon followed suit and, after witnessing the performance attained by these re-bodied Giuliettas (now referred to as SVZs), Alfa Romeo contracted Carrozzeria Zagato to build a limited run of factory-sanctioned racing cars. A true dual-purpose competition gran turismo, the resulting Giulietta Sprint Zagato, or SZ, was built on a short-wheelbase chassis and featured powerful finned aluminum drum brakes, a five-speed gearbox, large-capacity fuel tank, and the high-performance tipo AR00120 engine. In typical Zagato fashion, the SZs coachwork was lightweight and minimal to the extreme, with smooth organic lines, thin aluminum panels, Plexiglas windows, and virtually no ornamentation. The cockpit was businesslike, with two supportive tube-frame seats, simple vinyl upholstery, and a three-gauge instrument binnacle. Distinguished by its special type number (AR10126), the Giulietta SZ was first delivered to customers in late 1960 and immediately dominated the 1300 GT class in endurance events, circuit races, and hill climbs. Wins were innumerable and the car soon developed a reputation as a giant killer. In total, just 200 examples of the original SZ were built, including 30 examples of the updated SZ Coda Tronca, identifiable by its long-nose, Kamm-tail coachwork. The final evolution of the racing Giulietta and the direct predecessor to the Giulia TZ, the Sprint Zagato was the premier small-displacement GT car of the early 1960s, and today is among the top tier of collectible Alfa Romeos. According to Angelo Tito Anselmis definitive book, Alfa Romeo Giulietta, this SZ, chassis 00033, was originally finished in gray and sold new, on August 25, 1960, to Rinaldo Parmigiani of La Spezia, Italy. An amateur racing driver, Parmigiani began his career in the early 1950s. Beginning in 1956, he passed through a succession of Alfa Romeos, which he campaigned at major events like the Mille Miglia, Coppa Inter-Europa, and Giro di Sicilia. His first known outing in this Sprint Zagato took place on August 15, 1961, at the 4 Hours of Pescara. Entered under the Scuderia SantAmbroeus banner, the SZ was driven by Parmigiani and Sergio Pedretti, better known by his nom de course Kim, to a respectable 7th in Class and 19th Overall. The cars last known race was at the Coppa Inter-Europa at Monza, held on September 10, 1961. One of six Scuderia SantAmbroeus entrants, including five Alfa Romeos and one Fiat-Abarth, Parmigiani drove his SZ to 4th in Class and 6th Overall. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the Alfa Romeo remained in Italy, where it was later repainted red and fitted with a 1750 GT Veloce engine (tipo AR00548). By 1978, the noted Bergamo-based collector Corrado Cupellini had acquired the car and registered it in Lucca as LU 124954. Later that year, the SZ was sold to Alfa Romeo specialist Marvin Collins of El Cerrito, California, and shipped to San Francisco. Mr. Collins sold the car to Jerry Gamez of Castro Valley, California, who prepared the SZ for a return to the track and entered it in the 1980 Monterey Historic Automobile Races at Laguna Seca. In 1984, Mr. Gamez sold the Alfa Romeo to a private collector in San Antonio, Texas, whose stable included many iconic postwar European sports cars. This SZ has not been seen in public in over 30 years, and its appearance has changed little since arriving in the US over four decades ago. Having been parked for many years, mechanical attention will be required prior to use; however, the cosmetic condition is such that, for some collectors, the SZ could be recommissioned and maintained visually, as is. Significantly, the all-important stamped Zagato body number (441) has been located in several areas around the car. Accompanying the sale is a file of documentation that includes original maritime shipping paperwork from 1978, Italian and California registration records, and various service invoices from Jeremiah Browns Mouse Engineering in Oakland, California, and Fredz Autogofast in Berkeley, California.  If only for its status as one of the most successful Italian GT cars of the early 1960s, the Giulietta SZ is among the most collectible and historically significant postwar Alfa Romeos. For decades, knowledgeable collectors have admired the special qualities of these rare Zagato-bodied Giuliettas their lively performance, highly individual character, and thoroughbred competition bloodline. This SZ, with its impressive period-racing history and well-documented provenance, is surely among a rarified category of Alfa Romeo competition cars.Coachwork by ZagatoChassis AR10*number in the description*3Engine AR00*number in the description*8 Recently Discovered Sprint Zagato; One of Only 200 Examples Built Delivered New to Italian Racing Driver Rinaldo Parmigiani Raced at the 4 Hours of Pescara and the Coppa Inter-Europa at Monza Formerly Owned by Noted Collector Corrado Cupellini Campaigned in the 1980 Monterey Historic Automobile RacesPROVENANCERinaldo Parmigiani, La Spezia, Italy (acquired new in 1960)Corrado Cupellini, Bergamo, Italy (acquired by 1978)Marvin Collins, El Cerrito, California (acquired from the above in 1978)Jerry Gamez, Castro Valley, California (acquired from the above by 1980)Private Collection, San Antonio, Texas (acquired from the above in 1984)RACE HIGHLIGHTS4 Hours of Pescara, 1961, Parmigiani/Kim, No. 102 (19th Overall, 7th in Class)Coppa Inter-Europa, 1961, Parmigiani, No. 38 (6th Overall, 4th in Class)EXHIBITION HIGHLIGHTSMonterey Historic Automobile Races, 1980FEATURED MEDIAAlfa Romeo Giulietta, by Angelo Tito AnselmiAlfa Romeo-Zagato SZ TZ, by Marcello Minerbi Price: $425,000

The 400 GT 2+2 was introduced in 1966 out of development of the 350 GT, the newcomer used an enlarged - to 3,929cc - V12 with 320bhp some 50 horsepower more than its predecessor. The 400 GT 2+2 retained the overall, and highly acclaimed, looks of the 350 GT. The relaxed manner of its long-legged performance was perhaps the finest quality of the Lamborghini, its V12 engine being judged to have the broadest range of smooth torque the testers had experienced.

1957 Bentley S1 Continental Fastback  This extremely exclusive 1957 Bentley S1 Continental Fastback is one just 431 produced and one of the finest high-speed grand tourers ever built. In perhaps the models most striking coachwork, the lightweight fastback by H.J. Mulliner, the S1 is also one of the most beautiful of all postwar Bentleys. Following the success of the high-performance R-Type Continental, Bentleys S1 model garnered widespread praise as a highly capable road car of supreme luxury. This handsome example was newly sold by Brooklands Ltd. of London on May 3, 1957, to Donald Deeprose Esq. of Surrey, UK, finished in the stunning color combination of Circassian Blue with light blue upholstery. The Bentley was fitted from new with a HMV Smiths Radiomobile 200X radio, scuttle aerial, Dunlop Road Speed tires, wing lamps, and delivered with a tin of polish.After being owned by UK-based enthusiasts, the Continental made its way to the US by 1985, by which time it had been purchased by Peter Sealey of New Canaan, Connecticut. Mr. Sealey soon moved to Los Altos Hills, California, and British car specialists DeLongs Automotive of Campbell, California, performed an overhaul of the engine and transmission in 1997. A host of service records on file document additional maintenance and repairs carried out over the years. A summary on file notes that Mr. Sealey spent over $43,000 servicing the Bentley in his care and sold it in 2006, after 21 years of ownership. In 2010, noted privateer racer Herb Wetanson of Southampton, New York, purchased the Bentley for his private collection. After 13 years of ownership, Mr. Wetanson sold the Bentley to the previous owner. The S1 appears to have never been fully restored, and presents in largely original condition with its fantastic blue leather displaying a wonderful patina. The car is accompanied by copies of factory documentation, an original brochure, and 25 pages of service records, as well as its former UK registration book, tool kit, jack, and spare.H.J. Mulliners coach built Bentleys of the 1950s are some of the most exclusive and elegant motorcars of the era, and the S1 Continental Fastback was built in extremely limited numbers, with a roster of early owners that included some of the worlds most famous names. This distinctive example is well documented, fitted with its matching-numbers engine per accompanying factory records, finished in outstanding original colors, and features a wonderfully patinated interior.

1968 Lamborghini 400 GT 2+2 Coupe with Coachwork by Carrozzeria TouringOne of only 247 units built between 1966 and 1968, this 400GT was produced toward the end of the model's run as the 223rd example produced. Given its status late in production, it featured unique details such as later-type Miura gauges. Finished in Rosso (red) over Nero (black) pigskin leathera color scheme it still carries today. Runs and drives but would benefit from servicing prior to use.  The subject of a repaint at some point in its original color, the interior remains in what appears to be lovingly preserved, original condition. It is the stuff of legend that Ferrari-owning industrialist Ferruccio Lamborghini only turned to automobile manufacture as a result of receiving off-hand treatment at Maranello, vowing to build a better car. A successful manufacturer of tractors and related machinery, Lamborghini possessed the resources to realize his dream without having to compromise. The 400GT 2+2 appeared in 1966 featuring a 4.0 liter V12 and was a 150mph-plus car with a maximum power of 320bhp.

Bugatti

Type 57

1936 Bugatti Type 57 Ventoux According to Bugatti factory records on file, this Type 57, chassis 57422, was assembled in May 1936 and was fitted with two-door Ventoux coachwork, designed by Jean Bugatti and constructed in-house at the Molsheim works. Originally finished in gray, this body features a striking, avant-garde design characterized by its steeply raked windscreen, flowing lines, and rear-mounted spare. Delivered new to France; documented in the American Bugatti Register. A desirable Second-Series Type 57 with Jean Bugatti-designed Ventoux Coachwork. It retains its original matching numbers engine and original factory data tag. Kept in single family ownership for over 50 years, this is the ideal candidate for restoration or museum display.  Little is known of the Ventouxs earliest history from its delivery to Moreau- Esnault in August 1936 until 1949, when it was in Paris, being serviced by Roger Teillacs Laos Garage for then-owner M. Raleur. In 1954, it was registered to a new Parisian owner and then passed through two subsequent owners before being acquired in 1960 by famed Belgian Bugatti dealer Jean De Dobbeleer. In the mid-1960s, 57422 was sold via Dutch dealer van Ramshorst to Osmo Penttinen of Westminster, Massachusetts. Remarkably, the Bugatti remained. in his familys care for more than five decades before being sold to the previous owner. Throughout this period, the Ventoux was exhibited on just one occasion, at The Boston Cup Classic Car Show in September 2012.Today, 57422 presents as an exciting discovery among the precious few Type 57 Bugattis that remains in fundamentally original, unrestored condition. As a result of decades spent in storage, rarely seen original details have been preserved, including sections of original paint, glass, carpeting, and upholstery. Significantly, the Bugatti retains its matching-numbers engine (no. 310) per factory records on file, factory data tag, and Ventoux coachwork, which can be seen stamped with body no. 54 in several locations, including the trunk and fender box covers.With timeless styling and sophisticated engineering, the Type 57 is the ultimate road-going Bugatti and enjoys sought-after status among collectors. Chassis 57422, which features the improved second-series chassis and classic Ventoux bodywork, is among the last unrestored examples of this legendary marque and model. For the collector in search of a time capsule Bugatti, we encourage serious consideration of this captivating and highly original Ventoux.Moreau-Esnault, France (acquired new in 1936)M.

DB2-4

1955 Aston Martin DB2/4 3.0-Litre Drophead Coup: One of Just 46 Export-Model DB2/4 Dropheads The need to widen the appeal of the already-successful DB2 resulted in the launch in October 1953 of the 2+2 DB2/4. Modifications to the rear of the chassis plus a reduction in fuel tank capacity from 19 to 17 gallons liberated sufficient space within the existing design for two child-sized occasional rear seats. Alternatively, the rear seat backs could be folded down, thus creating a load-carrying platform that more than doubled the luggage space, the latter being accessed via a hatchback rear door - one of this now-common feature's earliest applications. In addition, a raised roofline, one-piece windscreen, larger bumpers and other detail styling changes differentiated the newcomer from its predecessor. Otherwise, the DB2/4 remained much the same as the DB2, employing the latter's rectangular-tube chassis, trailing arm independent front suspension and well-located live rear axle. Standard specification included the W O Bentley-era, 2.6-litre, 'VB6E' engine in 125bhp tune. Despite this, the redesign's inevitable weight gain was not fully compensated for until the arrival of the 3.0-litre, 140bhp engine in 1954. Equipped with latter, the DB2/4 was one of the fastest cars then built in Great Britain - with 100mph achievable in third gear and around 120mph maximum - possessing impeccable handling plus a level of comfort rare in any high-performance car.DB2/4 production had amounted to 565 cars by the time of the Mark II's introduction in October 1955. According to the AMOC, at least 102 were dropheads, of which 46 were export models like the one offered here. Its accompanying copy guarantee form shows that this 3.0-litre 'Mark I' DB2/4, chassis number '1019', was delivered new via Peter Satori Co Ltd to first owner Michael Henry Strater of Berkeley, California, USA. The car was ordered with Ivory paintwork, subsequently changed to green, and left the factory with a red interior and matching hood. The car will require re-commissioning/restoration before further use. Accompanying documentation consists of copies of the aforementioned guarantee, old Mississippi Certificate of Title, and old Alabama registration paperwork.Coachwork by Mulliners of BirminghamRegistration no. not registeredChassis no.

Blue with red leather interior. Retaining its matching numbers engine, this DB4 has been sitting in storage for the last 30 years patiently awaiting restoration. After the previous owner returned from Vietnam in the 1970's, he went back to work at a local body shop. When his boss asked him to help with a repair on his own car, he agreed to go over to his house and work on the car. He worked on the car over the course of a few weeks and once he completed the job, his boss gifted him the Aston Martin DB4. He had the car towed home and planned on restoring it but just never got around to it. He parked it in a barn where it sat until recently when it finally saw the light of day after over 30 years in storage.The introduction of the Aston Martin DB4 marked a new era for the British sports car manufacturer that would restore performance and prestige to the fabled marque. Wrapped in a seductive, lightweight alloy body fashioned by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan and featuring a powerful 3.7-litre engine, the DB4 offered performance to match its pedigree, becoming the worlds first production car to achieve 0-100-0 mph in under 30 seconds.

Stunning 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster with Coachwork by Reutter: Excellent Driver with a Well-Documented History  This 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster is a gorgeous driver wearing an older restoration and comes with history back to day one. Offered with a copy of the Kardex showing it was delivered as it is today in white paint, but had a red leatherette interior. It now has a Super 90 engine installed (Engine #801530). It starts right up, runs, and drives excellent. A beautiful example with nice paint, chromework, and a tidy interior. The agency through which it was originally sold was Autohaus Kahrmann in Fulda, one of the four main companies supplying the home market, and based north-east of Frankfurt, they remain in business to this day. By the early 60's the car was in the USA and owned by Glenn Hoffmann of Harrisburg, PA, who raced it in E Production class, initially using a pushrod engine before converting the car to run with a 1500 Carrera unit. At that same time its rear deck lid was switched for a lightweight Carrera unit, as well as a high revving tachometer and other racing bits, most of which were purchased from the legendary Carrera Speedster racer Bruce Jennings of Townson, Maryland, who has been described as utterly fearless on the race track. From Hoffman the car passed to Bob Schreter of Rosswell, Georgia, he continued to race the Speedster in the late 1960s at Lime Rock and on Hillclimbs too. He would recall winning a lot in the day. Staying in Georgia it moved on to Milton Bailey of Atlanta in the early 1970s. After this, the car was basically retired, it passed through the hands of Kevin Heaney, Jack Gray and then Jerry Kendall, all also of Atlanta. In March 1986 it was bought from Kendall by John Summer of St. Petersburg, Florida, who would ultimately retain it for many years. Summer was responsible for the restoration that we see here today. During this the Carrera motor was removed and a Super 90 unit 801530 installed in its place, but it remained nevertheless a hotted car, with 40IDF Webers fitted, and the 741 transmission retained the BAE3C GS/GT Hillclimb gears as well as a limited slip 633 ring gear pinion. Summer sold the Speedster in 1994 to Kevin Fiske in Washington State, it remained with him for a couple of years then arrived in long term ownership in Massachusetts, before passing to the previous owner. A thick binder of receipts for parts and the work done together with much information on the cars history accompany it. Looking like it really means the business its light racing guise includes headlamp grilles, hood straps, the aforementioned Carrera engine lid, and GS/GT tach. The original body hugging seats are now finished in black leatherette piped in red, and racing seat belts are fitted. Reported to go like a scalded cat, this is an honest, older restoration of an icon with a well-charted history.Chassis no. 83100Engine no.

One of *number in the description* Aston Martin DB4 Series IIThis 1961 Aston Martin DB4 is a highly original and extremely desirable late-production Series II car undriven and largely unseen since circa 1969. Original Connolly leather and Wilton wool interior. One of just 349 DB4 Series IIs built and an intriguing recommissioning project or candidate for full restoration. Though the engine has been run as recently as early 2024, the car has not been driven since about 1970, which is supported by a 1969 Florida State inspection sticker remaining affixed to the windshield. The Aston Martin will require recommissioning prior to any road use. The DB4 is accompanied by its jack, tool roll, spare wheel, period under-dash air-conditioning components, and various other spares. Showing just 39,308 miles, this long-prized Aston Martin will be passed to its next caretaker who will have the choice of returning it to the road as a highly intact, low-mileage garage find, or restoring it to its original sophisticated splendor. Either way, the Aston Martin community will be the better for this long-sequestered example rejoining the ranks. According to a copy of its build record on file, this DB4 Series II was first sold in March 1961 to the Grimmer Electrical Supplies Ltd. of East Ham, within greater London, presumably for use by one the company   s principals. In addition to confirming its matching-numbers engine, the build sheet notes that the Aston Martin was re-cellulosed within a few weeks of its sale date, likely as a condition of the sale, from Caribbean Pearl to the Goodwood Green that it still wears today. An accompanying identification tag issued by the Miami-based Shaw Brothers Shipping Company suggests the DB4 was imported to the US by Marathon, Florida-resident Walter B. Weidler, and fuel receipts bearing his name, found in the car, dated 1969, provide a rough time frame of his ownership.

Original colors metallic blue with black. In excellent running condition. The most desirable Ace variant. Produced pre-1957 making it eligible for the Mille Miglia and many other events (production date Sept 4 1956). Comes with a correct AC Bristol engine (matching number head, non matching block), original gearbox and many spares. Currently running with a Ford 6 cylinder engine, much the same as the AC Ace from 1962/63. Offered with original tools and manuals. An excellent event car that's eligible for the most desirable tours.  The Ace-Bristol's high-revving, state-of-the-art power unit could trace its origins back to BMWs advanced pre-war 328 design, which helped make it successful in racing well into the 1960s. Bristol-powered Aces were brilliant in competition, winning three successive SCCA E-Production Championships between 1957 and 1959, followed by D-Production Championship in 1960 and C-Production Championship in 1961. The Ace-Bristol also scored very well at Le Mans, where it finished 2nd in class in 1957 and 1958 and achieved a sterling class victory and 7th overall in 1959. This performance no doubt left an impression on 1959 Le Mans winner Carroll Shelby, who later created his own 289 and 427 Shelby Cobra derivatives based on the classic AC Ace.

Silver Cloud II

1962 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II 'Adaptation' Drophead CoupeThis exceptionally rare Rolls-Royce is one of only 74 of an already limited run that were built in left hand drive form, and certainly even fewer that were delivered to these shores. Owing to the availability of original factory records for the marque, it can be confirmed that as new the Drophead was ordered by Rolls-Royce Inc. for J.S. Inskip in May 1961.  The original purchaser was Mrs. Allyne W DuBois, wife of Cincinnati, Ohio property developer Charles DuBois. Mrs. DuBois ordered her 'Drophead Coupe Conversion' in Midnight Blue over Beige upholstery. Built to 'USA Specification Issue 2', the original left hand drive configuration is also noted, and reflected in the 'L' prefix to its chassis number, while features included power steering, electric windows, 'Sundym' glass throughout, radio, split bench-type front seat, Dunlop Buffalo 'white sided' tires, and heavy gauge frame to accommodate the lack of a roof...oh and a 'tin of polish' to keep things shiny. The 'Adaptation' Drophead Coupe was loaded and shipped on November 11, 1961 from Liverpool to New York and finally delivered on February 22, 1962. Mrs. DuBois would keep the car only briefly. According to an article by Jack Dillard in the May/Jun 2017 of The Flying Lady, the lack of rear power windows (a feature that would not be sorted until the Cloud III Drophead) was so galling that the DuBois family traded the months old Rolls with under 500 miles on it for a brand-new Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible. The Cadillac dealer was then stuck with a quandarya beautiful, virtually-new Rolls worth three times the highest priced 'standard of the world' Cadillac. The Rolls ended up sitting on the used car lots...for 18 months. It was at that point that Dillard, who was then driving an ex-Dean Martin (and ex-ex-Frank Sinatra) Dual Ghia was offered a propositionleave the Dual Ghia in the shop and take the Rolls to try to drum up some interest and get it sold. Apparently, in the 1960s, this was a job for a college student like Mr. Dillard. While the local dealers aren't foisting Rolls-Royce convertibles on university students anymore, one thing that hasn't changed the propensity of 20-somethings to hoon about in their cars. Up against a tide of accusations that his Rolls was slow, Dillard took the big drop top to Cincinnati's old Beechmont Dragway, an officially sanctioned NHRA )National Hot Rod Association) drag strip operated with the blessing of SOTA (Southern Ohio Timing Association). After an impressive sub 18 second run down the quarter mile, he was invited back for a "run for the money". Classification troubles nearly scuttled the attempt when the lack of a horsepower rating (since Rolls only claimed the power to be 'adequate') almost made it impossible to class the carbut eventually the scrutineers settled on 'D Gas Automatic'. Up against a selection of late '50s and early '60's American iron, the Rolls ultimately prevailed with a run of 17.54 seconds at 67mph. While the successful results at the drag strip didn't end up successfully selling the car on that occasion, eventually the Rolls found a new home and by the mid-1960s would reside in the garage of Patrick Murlowski of Minneapolis, Minnesota. In September of 1973 the Rolls began an eastward march, heading to Bayville, New York on the North Shore of Long Island. At some point the Rolls made its way to Europe, where it was restored to the current color scheme of crme over tan leather. Entering the collection of car enthusiast and real estate developer Thierry Dehaeck in Belgium, the Rolls would be toured and enjoyed, including a run on the 2007 Classic Car Marathon VI. Purchased by the previous owner in February 2008 with 43,131 miles on the odometer.  With minimal usage in the past 13 years, some mechanical recommission is suggested prior to active road use.

Dawn

1954 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn Park Ward Drophead Coupe 1 of 12 Built  This Park Ward Drophead Coupe, design number 355, is one of only twelve made. The swooping, black front fenders blend seamlessly into the tapered rear with spats covering the rear wheels. The dual-tone Grey paint set off the matching Maroon seats and convertible top. Left hand drive enhances the driving experience in North America.According to copies of the factory record, this stunning Rolls was ordered by Hess Brothers department store in Allentown, Pennsylvania. With offices in London, Rome, and Paris, Hess Brothers were known for being purveyors of the latest fashions, so it is little surprise that their vehicle of choice was also on the cutting edge. In addition to its elegant, aforementioned colorway, it was fitted with a power top, medium wave radio, white wall tires, and all the accoutrements required for the American market.Completed at the factory on May 29, 1952, Hess Brothers took receipt on August 25 of that year and kept them for about nine months before heading to the Woodbridge, Connecticut garage of Sereno Clark Sperry, Jr. in June 1953. Mr. Sperry would enjoy his drop top for six and a half years, trading it in on the purchase of a brand-new Bentley Continental Flying Spur with J.S. Inskip on April 17, 1959. A copy of the invoice for the new Bentley listing the trade is on fileInskip valued the Rolls at $7,500 at the time, leaving a $14,275 balance for the new car. In December of 1959, Inskip sold the Rolls to James C. Ryan.There is no recorded history for the car until January of 1972 when it came into the collection of Richard Thomas of Stuart, Florida. Mr Thomas would retain the Rolls for the next 36 years, eventually restoring it and regularly showing it, including at the 2004 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance where it went home with the Amelia Award. Acquired by its previous owner in May of 2008, the Drophead has remained on static display for the last 14 years. Still retaining its 20 year old restoration, the car has mellowed over the years but still carries with it plenty of presence, although recommissioning will be required prior to active use. An exciting opportunity to own a unique coach built open car from Britain's most prestigious manufacturer during the period when the British motor industry regained its footing after the war.

Cadillac

1930 Cadillac V-16 Series 452 All-Weather Phaeton with Coachwork by Fleetwood Cadillac astonished the world's automotive elite when it introduced a spectacular new ultra-luxury car, powered by an amazing 16-cylinder engine, at the 1930 New York Show. This new super-sized Cadillac would set a new benchmark for silent and superbly impressive performance. The 452 cubic inch V16 made an astounding 175 horsepower in combination with smoothness and refinement. It is widely believed that GM lost money on every V16 they built through 1940. The extravagant V16 was an immediate sensation and production began with strong demand, even on the verge of the Great Depression. Fifty-four semi-custom body styles were offered by Fleetwood to the prospective buyer, ranging from sporty roadsters and phaetons to formal limousines and town cars. Prices began at $5,350 and ran to $9,700 in an age when a new Ford could be bought for less than $500. The All-weather Phaeton style number 4380 came in two versions. The standard version, which was fully open, carried a price tag of $6,650. The deluxe version, with a divider window which could be rolled down, was priced at $7,350. This car was originally purchased by Mr. Rudolph Loening of New York City, and retained by him for about seven years. The V-16 was then acquired by an army officer who was assigned to foreign duty shortly thereafter, forcing it into storage where it remained until 1960. It was then brought out of hibernation and acquired by Albro Case of Hartford, CT. It was purchased by Elrner Franzen in 1969 and then likely passed onto the respected Darling collection in Minneapolis. It was most recently with another prominent Minneapolis collector.This particular example is finished in pale green lacquer with a black swept panel, fenders and aprons. Some of this paint may be original but is flaking in areas. The interior is excellent and trimmed in light brown Bedford Cord with light brown carpets and a tan Hartz cloth lop. The car has the deluxe division window, dual side mounts, a luggage rack and the correct goddess mascot. The indicated mileage is 42,595, which is commensurate with the overall condition of the automobile. Although not much used in recent years, it is now running and driving very well with a quiet engine and excellent shifting. A solid, straight, and highly original car that is ready for paintwork at this time. The Fleetwood body features many interesting details such as a split opening windshield and glass division between driver and passenger compartments. Cadillac created the V-16 to compete with the best automobiles in the world. The majestic Cadillac V-16 established an unsurpassed standard of excellence for American cars and surviving examples rank among the world's most desired Classics. Cadillac described the All-weather Phaeton as "a car combining the dash and swagger of the sporting models with the practical features of the sedan." Today, the Cadillac V16 remains one of the most desirable and collectible motorcars of the classic era.
