welcome to cts auctions! In just six short years Classic Throttle Shop has evolved from an idea to now being well established as one of Australia s leading Classic and Collector Vehicle showrooms with an exceptional National and International level of presence, contacts and recognition. Building on this success, we are now delighted to bring to you our latest innovation and newest venture, CTS Auctions, and our inaugural event here in Sydney on Saturday the 5th of December 2009. It has long been our feeling that auction events in Australia to date have lacked the innovation, passion, commitment or investment needed to make them worthy of the vehicles they offer or the clientele they strive to serve and this is something that we intend to address. The success and levels of interest around any auction are clearly dependent on the vehicles that the event will be bringing to market. In this respect we hope you are as excited as we are about the stunning line up of cars that we will be offering on the 5th of December and we would like to extend our thanks to all our vendors who have entrusted the sale of their special Motor Cars, Motorcycles and Automobilia to CTS Auctions. Many of these are headline cars in their own right that would comfortably grace any international auction stage, let alone an inaugural event such as this. Included in the sale are two fabulous single owner collections; one comprising three exceptional historic racing cars and the other four vehicles from that most emotive of manufacturers, Lamborghini.

Introduction
As well as the Lamborghini Countachs, Espada, Jalpa, and Diablo from the collection noted previously, we are also delighted to offer an example of the incredibly rare 1968 Lamborghini Islero 2+2 Coupe´ making this the largest number of Lamborghini s to ever be offered at auction in Australia to date. There are also five exceptional V12 Ferrari s including possibly the most stunning recreation of a 1959 Testarossa that we have ever seen, as well as an outstanding example of the simply gorgeous Aston Martin DB4 from a period when demonstrating the excellence and quality of British engineering was more important than the manufacturer making a profit! As well as the exotics and star cars noted above, we believe the line up we have contains vehicles of interest and significance right across the spectrum of buyers interests and budgets and is already quite possibly one of the most exciting arrays of cars ever to be brought to market in this country as well as a clear demonstration of our commitment in terms of the level, quality and diversity of auction we intend to hold. We hope that as you browse this catalogue and digest the details of some of the great vehicles within it that you are gripped by the same levels of excitement and anticipation that we are and if there is anything that either I or my team can do to help assist you, please do not hesitate to contact us. In the meantime, we wish you every success in obtaining your dream machine and look forward to you joining us as we usher in a new era in Classic and Collector Vehicle auctions in Australia.

1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT
lot 1 0 1
One of the greatest drivers’ cars built in the Sixties, Alfa Romeo’s Giulia Sprint GT debuted in 1963 with a fabulous all-alloy twin-cam engine, 5 speed gearbox, disc brakes all round and gorgeous styling by Bertone, a combination that still wins hearts today. Based on a shortened floorpan from the Giulia Berlina, the Sprint GT was masterfully styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro. One of his earliest projects for Bertone, the supremely gifted Giugiaro’s beautifully balanced lines, particularly the airy greenhouse and delicate detailing, still looks fresh today.
COLOUR Red
The one-piece chrome bumpers, flat chrome grille and crackle-finish dash panel distinguish these early cars, of which 31,955 were made between 1963 and early 1966. With just 948 kgs to push around, the 1570cc engine has twin overhead camshafts and develops 106 bhp, more than enough to allow the driver to exploit the fantastic chassis. The great handling certainly contributed to the Alfa’s success on the racetrack, with competition GTA versions winning the European Touring Car Championship an impressive four times. The Giulia Sprint was even practical, with two-plus-two seating and reasonable space in the boot.
TRANSMISSION 5 Speed Manual
The 105-series Alfas look fantastic, are great fun to drive and the early ‘step-front’ cars in particular, have bags of charm, something Alfisti everywhere agree on. Widely acknowledged as one of the most rewarding and affordable classic Italian sports cars to own and with few decent examples left on the road, a good example like this will always be a sound investment. In lovely, rust free condition this highly desirable ‘step-front’ Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT has been with the current owner for about four years and driven sparingly in that time. The car is mechanically excellent, with two new Weber carburetors, the original cams and comes with an original air box (not fitted). The beige interior also presents very well, with a lovely patina.

1957 Messerschmitt KR200 Cabriolet
lot 1 0 2
At the end of the Second World War Messerschmitt – banned from building aircraft – turned their Regensburg factory over to the production of microcars, specifically the three-wheeler Kabinenroller (Cabin Scooter) designed by former aircraft engineer Fritz Fend. The first Messerschmitt production model, designated the KR175, had a tandem seating arrangement and novel plexiglass domed canopy inspired by fighter aircraft practice. The KR175 remained in production until 1955, when a heavily revised version, the KR200, was launched. With a much improved cabin, wider track with cutaway guards, rubber-in-torsion suspension featuring hydraulic shock absorbers and larger tyres, the KR200 was a far more practical vehicle than its predecessor and proved a big hit. The mid-mounted Fichtel & Sachs two-stroke engine was capable of pushing the little Messerschmitt along at speeds of nearly 60 mph, thanks to the ultra light weight, and the rubber engine mounts were another big improvement. Interest in microcars remains strong and to aficionados, the Messerschmitt KR200 is certainly one of the most desirable of all, beautifully made to aircraft standards, fun to drive and in their own quirky way, still very practical today. An early Cabriolet with the Deluxe paint and trim options and rare Regensberg eagle badge, this stunning example was authentically restored in early 2008 by a Messerschmitt guru in the United Kingdom from the ground up. Featuring the desirable 10.2 horsepower engine, it has a top speed of around 60 mph – if you’re feeling brave. The folding top (with sliding windows) is all done, the trim is very correct as are the light fittings, the hubcaps – everything it just right. All the mechanicals have been rebuilt and the Messerschmitt is now perfectly reliable. The most fun you can have on three wheels, this particular KR200 was a star the 2008 Goodwood Revival , used as a pit gopher for one of the racing outfits. Sold with registration number NSW BIY 95H (Expires 02.2010) if sold to a NSW based buyer.

1938 MG TA Roadster
lot 1 0 3
In 1936 MG replaced the existing PA/PB series with the TA. It was the first car in the legendary T-Series range of models from MG that ran right through to the MG TF. The TA utilised a modified OHV four-cylinder engine from the Wolseley 10 (designated the MPJG) with twin SU carburettors, altered camshaft and exhaust manifolds. Improvements included synchromesh on the top two gears, hydraulic brakes, wider track and longer wheelbase for more passenger room. The majority of the 3000, or so MG TA’s built had 2-door roadster bodywork in typical upright fashion, with folding screen and rudimentary hood, but a small number of Airline Coupés and Tickford Drophead Coupés by Salmons of Newport Pagnell were made as well. Although the engine displaced just 1.3 litres, it developed a healthy 50 bhp at 4,500 rpm, capable of pushing the little MG along to a top speed of nearly 130 km/h. More power was easily had and many TA’s were tuned to go a lot quicker. Built between 1936 and 1939, the TA (and it’s short-lived successor, the TB) were built in small numbers compared with the post war T-Series, with the great export market of America yet to discover the famous Octagon marque. Although it may not have seemed so at the time, the MG TA paved the way for a healthy future and set the style for MGs for years to come.
COLOUR Red
This highly original TA arrived in Australia at the end of 2007, and was purchased by the current owner from well known MG aficionado and dealer Barry Walker, Warwickshire, UK. The car is supplied with a huge amount of paperwork included the original UK Buff log book that indicates that the car has had one owner since 1978, Malcolm Bennett of Kent, UK. The car changed hands four times between 1945 and 1948. Together with the buff log books are UK Road Tax discs for most years back to 1978, MOT Certificates (UK Motor Car Safety Check) dating back to 1978, an unused Post-WWII petrol rations booklet as well as a collection of sundry invoices pertaining to minor works carried out on the car. The car is running on Blockley Road/Race spec tyres and is complete with its original toolkit – the original type shock absorbers are offered with the car and the later type currently fitted are the only deviation from total factory originality, indeed this is the most original TA that we have ever seen.
ENGINE NO. MPJA 2626
Sold on instructions of the owner’s wife to clear some garage space before any further purchases are considered, it has all the ingredients to restore into a concours winning example or could be driven as is as a truly time-warp example of MG’s iconic pre-war sports car.

1951 Aston Martin DB2 Drophead CoupĂŠ
lot 1 0 4
Although strictly speaking not the first post-war Aston Martin, the Frank Feeley styled DB2 was the model that set the course for the Feltham marque for the next two decades. With a relatively large capacity six-cylinder engine developing ample power, stylish bodywork in either open or closed form and a well appointed cockpit, Aston Martin hit on a successful formula that lasted until the DBS of the late 1960s. David Brown’s purchase of Aston Martin in 1947 and his subsequent acquisition of Lagonda, gave the former plenty of cash to develop an entirely new model and through the latter, gained access to a powerful 2.6 litre engine. This motor, with twin overhead camshafts and twin 1 ½ inch SU H4 carburetors, developed 105 bhp at 5,000 rpm and was capable of propelling the DB2 at indecently quick speeds. The chassis for the DB2 was designed by Claude Hill and closely followed Aston Martin’s previous practice, with independent front suspension and semi-trailing arms and a Panhard rod, plus coil springs all round. If the DB2 Coupe was a Grand Tourer capable of mixing it with the best Continental sports cars, the Drophead added a touch of glamour to the range. Perfect for the French Riviera or cruising the Pacific Coast Highway, the DB2 Drophead was also much rarer than its closed sibling – only 98 examples were made between 1950 and 1953. Road tested by Motor Sport magazine in February 1951, the DB2 Drophead managed a top speed of 109 mph and a 0-60 mph time of 12.7 seconds. The DB2 Drophead Coupé had numerous famous owners, including David Brown himself – the first example made became his personal car. Prices of David Brown-era Aston Martins continue to flourish and a DB2, admittedly a car with race provenance, sold at the recent London auction for in excess of a million dollars. Although not quite at that level yet, recent prices achieved for DB2 Dropheads show strong appreciation as well and they make great events cars. >>>

>>> With a great documented history, this lovely Aston Martin was first registered as NGO-633 on October 21, 1952 and painted Moonbeam Grey with blue upholstery and a grey hood. According to the original specification sheet, the car was brought up to Vantage specification by the factory on April 27, 1953. The Aston Martin was brought to Australia by Kingsley R.Blunsden of Hunters Hill, New South Wales in the 1970s, then passed to Robert J.Olsen, an American based in Melbourne at the time, in March 1987. Olsen instigated a rebuild that was ultimately completed by a well known Melbourne Aston Martin collector. The car benefits from a brand new set of wheels and tyres. To be sold with a detailed history and receipts file, a DB2 instruction book and even the original UK number plate. Sold without registration.

1972 MV Agusta 125 GTL ‘S’
lot 1 0 5
MV Agusta’s first production 125cc roadster, with a single-cylinder overhead valve engine, debuted in 1954 and remained in production for over two decades. Exquisitely finished and very expensive when new, few were sold outside Italy. In 1965, the 125 range received a five-speed gearbox and was sold in two versions, the basic GT and the more sporting (and powerful) GTL. From 1969 to the early 1970s, MV Agusta offered the 125 GTL ‘S’, with fantastic café racer styling and air-cooled single motor. The engine had a bore and stroke of 53 x 56mm and an output of 17.4 bhp, enough to propel the MV to a top speed of 120 km/h. The GTL ‘S’ had six-volt electrics and ignition by a flywheel magneto (with automatic spark advance).
COLOUR Red
Purchased by the current owner in Canberra around three years ago in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition, and it has formed part of his private collection ever since. Finished in the classic Italian racing red, with great cosmetics (right down to the MV decals), the bike is in great running order as well and comes with an original tool kit.

1961 Ferrari 250 GTE 2+2 Series 2
lot 1 0 6
Ferrari’s first production four-seater, the 250 GTE 2+2 debuted at Le Mans in June 1960 as the course car, stirring up maximum interest from devotees before the official launch at the Paris Salon that October. Derived from the 250 GT Coupé, the GTE was built on a longer wheelbase with the 3 litre V12 motor located further forward in the chassis, the Colombo unit essentially the same engine that brought Ferrari numerous race victories. Mildly de-tuned, the Tipo 128F outside plug motor had a bore and stroke of 73mm x 58.5mm, an 8.8:1 compression ratio and three twin choke Weber 40DCL/6 carburetors, giving an impressive 240 bhp at 7,000 rpm. The four-speed transmission had overdrive and the GTE was able to reach a maximum speed of 140 mph. Pininfarina’s crisp styling was at once elegant, refined and harmonious, perfectly complementing the more grown up nature of the 2+2. The cockpit was just as appealing, with the three-spoke Nardi steering wheel, chrome-ringed Veglia instruments, full carpeting, high quality leather upholstery and pleated headlining all creating an upmarket ambience. Entering production in 1960, the GTE production can be separated into three distinct groupings, the Series 1 cars followed by the Series 2, with minor changes to the dashboard. Just 356 Series 2 250 GTEs were made and a great many have now been turned into SWB, GTO or Testa Rossa replicas, making a good surviving example few and far between, not to mention the cheapest route into Ferrari 250 ownership. >>>

The car has been in Australia for many years and was fully restored by a Sydney specialist to a very high standard. The dark metallic green paintwork nicely complements Pininfarina’s styling, the interior is in great condition, the black leather upholstery and special cedar wood trim all in first class condition. This is an eminently usable Ferrari, with plenty of room for family and luggage and perfect for club rallies or weekend trips. Coming from one of Australia’s best private collections, no expense has been spared in maintaining the Ferrari in perfect working order.

Volkswagen’s Type 2, universally known as the Kombi (apart from Americans, who prefer to call it the VW Bus), has become a cult object in recent years and hugely collectible. First seen in public in 1949, the Kombi was powered by Volkswagen’s familiar flat-four, mounted at the back for maximum space, and the unitary construction bodyshell, both rigid and durable, was able to carry loads of cargo. Sold in three basic configurations – the van, bus or pick-up – the Kombi came in a sometimes bewildering array of models, including the Microbus, the Samba and the Transporter, not to mention numerous campervan derivatives.
COLOUR Blue & Cream BODY Microbus TRANSMISSION 4 Speed Manual
The Kombi made it to Australia back in 1953 and by the Sixties was a big hit with tradies, surfies and of course, hippies, all of whom loved the fact they were cheap, plentiful and didn’t break down very often – plus the fact they could carry plenty of ladders, surfboards or unwashed people in tie-died clothing. From 1954, the Clayton plant in Melbourne began assembling CKD vehicles and the Type 2 remained in production until the late 1970s. The Splitscreen Kombis, dating from 1950 to 1967, are the most sought after by collectors and the post-1963 models, with 42 horsepower from 1.5 litres, the most powerful. The newly revised T1c bodyshell saw the introduction of a smaller engine cover and the option of sliding (instead of swinging) doors to access the rear compartment.
ENGINE CAPACITY 1493cc flat 4 Cylinder
This 13-window Microbus has been completely restored, with new two-tone paint, new trim and all mechanicals refurbished. The current owner bought the vehicle three years ago in partially restored condition and finished the project himself, transforming the Kombi into a thing of beauty. The perfect classic people mover, this Kombi has loads of class and great fun to drive. With the mechanical side taken care of, combined with that legendary German build quality, reliability won’t be an issue either.

1974 Porsche Carrera 2.7 Targa
lot 1 0 8
Following on from the success of the legendary 911 Carrera RS 2.7 in 1973, Porsche adopted the Carrera moniker for its new flagship 911 in 1974. Based on the updated G-series bodyshell, with neatly integrated impact-absorbing bumpers, deeper sills and a fashionable absence of chrome, the 1974 911 Carrera was mechanically identical to the RS 2.7. All 1974 911s adopted the 2687cc flat-six but the Carrera retained forged pistons and mechanical fuel injection (apart from US market cars, where emissions controls saw Bosch’s new K-Jetronic system fitted to all models), developing the same 210 bhp. The rear suspension was revised while other improvements included anti-roll bars front and rear and alloy brake calipers. The RS’s wheel and tread combination was also carried over, the beautiful 15 inch Fuchs rims shod with 185/70 tyres up front and 215/60s at the rear. Externally, the Carrera was distinguished by fatter rear guards, plus the option of Carrera script on the sills and ducktail spoiler (the whaletail was offered for the 1975 model year). Inside, the cockpit was similar to the regular 911, now with high-backed leather seats, but did come with a leather-trimmed three-spoke steering wheel and electric windows as standard equipment. Performance of the Carrera was nothing short of sensational, with 0-100 km/h coming up in just 6.3 seconds and a top speed in the region of 240 km/h. People often forget just how rare these early 911s can be. Porsche produced just 1,543 coupes and 610 targas in the 1974 -1975 timeframe, numbers only slightly higher than the Carrera RS 2.7. With the 1973 RS universally regarded as the most collectible (and therefore valuable) road going 911 of all and current prices reflecting their desirability, the 1974 -1975 911 Carreras are now becoming increasingly sought after in their own right. Delivered new in Australia and believed to be one of just five Carrera 2.7 Targas sold here that year, this mint example is finished in light yellow and is in truly outstanding condition. Sold through Scuderia Veloce in Sydney on August 7, 1974, the car was later restored in New South Wales and is now the property of a private Melbourne enthusiast. Offered for sale with the original service log book, the Porsche is a matching numbers example of this rare and increasingly valuable 911. The sound of the aircooled flat six will set your spine tingling and with summer just around the corner, the Targa is ready for some open air motoring.

With the Cosworth RS500 Ford transformed the humble Ford Sierra into a proven race winner, completing 500 in order to homologate the model for 1987. The actual build was outsourced to Aston Martin’s Tickford operation and all 500 cars, based on the three-door Sierra, were sold in the UK. Under the bonnet Cosworth’s YDB engine had a stronger block, Garrett T31/T04 turbocharger with bigger intercooler and fuel pump, uprated oil and cooling systems and better induction. The model won the 1987 World Touring Car Championship (in fact it proved so dominant the series was cancelled!), no less than 40 straight victories in the BTCC (a record that still stands) plus consecutive wins at Bathurst in 1989-1990.

After setting up Andy Rouse Engineering in 1981, Rouse’s breakthrough came when he was hired by Ford to develop the Sierra XR4Ti into a race car and duly won the BTCC for 1985. Andy Rouse Engineering also built numerous race Sierras for customers, including the Labatt’s team, and the experience gained in developing the model always kept his cars near the front of the grid.

‘The John Blanden Special’
lot 1 1 0
MG stands for Morris Garages. The company started off by enhancing the performance of Morris motorcars – hence the name. The company ethos was based on getting the maximum performance out of relatively sedate cars. It is perhaps fitting then that enthusiasts and racers, since MG’s inception have further enhanced the performance of these sporting cars to make them either faster on the road or more competitive on the track. Aside from their celebrity status, Clark Gable and Phil Hill owned TCs and Carroll Shelby started his career by racing one, which was sold very recently for over USD $ 340,000. TCs made the ideal basis for competitive racing cars and many examples are still raced. The MG TC Supercharged Special that is offered here was built to its current specification under the guidance of Australian motor racing identity John Blanden who wanted a car that provided some of the style and performance of the P3 Alfa Romeos he had seen racing as a child without paying the huge price tag. Whilst we simply can’t claim to have seen every MG TC racing special, it would surely be hard to find a better example anywhere in the world. The car combines typical Australian ingenuity with superb style to create an extremely effective and beautiful racing monoposto that if not a P3 Alfa certainly hints towards the style of the ERAs of the 1930s. Blanden acquired this particular car – then a very rough TC racing special – for his South Australian based museum in the early 1970s from local racing identity Bob Irvine. Irvine and Don Skinner were well known racers of an unblown MG TC Special and whilst it is not clear whether the car Blanden bought was their famous car it was certainly from that source. The car was given to Rob Butcher to be rebuilt. Butcher looked after all of John Blanden’s racing cars and was given instructions to supercharge the car and replace the modified original TC body (now in the ‘Short Special’ campaigned by Phil Speer) with a more stylish P3 Alfa monoposto type of design. It is believed the body was designed and constructed by Colin Riley at Mansfied Park, South Australia and it certainly looks the part. A huge amount of work was also carried out to maximise the car’s performance. A Marshall J100 Supercharger was ingeniously fitted underneath the exhaust manifold. The car was shortened and the engine, gearbox and differential are all offset allowing the driver to sit beside, rather than above the running gear keeping the centre of gravity nice and low. >>>

>>> A Holden limited slip differential was chosen at the time as parts were readily available and easy to maintain. The rear was fitted with quarter elliptic springs with trailing arms and a Panhard rod. Independent front suspension was tried but caused dreadful handling so the original suspension set up was re-instated. Once completed the car competed at Collingrove, Mount Tarangatta and the Geelong Speed Trials to name a few but was never fully developed. At one stage it was even run on Methanol but was put back to run on high octane petrol. During its time at the museum the car was much admired and was photographed in Michael Sherrell’s definitive bible “TCs Forever!”. When John Blanden passed away in 2004 the car was sold by the family and found its way into the hands of Paul Samuels, best known in motor racing circles for building the Wakefield park race track in Goulbourn NSW. Samuels eventually sold the car to Bill Rutty from where it was sold to the current vendor on a first refusal basis, the current owner having admired the car many times when Mr Rutty owned it. To call the current owner fastidious is an understatement. The car has been fully rebuilt mechanically (the engine a number of times) and can remarkably be started and run with more ease than many road cars. It is no slouch either – at Philip Island the car was hitting 5,500 rpm in top gear and with 40 km/h per 1000 rpm in top the vendor calculates that he must have been travelling at around 220 km/h! To list all work carried out restoring this car would simply take too long but the accompanying file of paperwork details the full history of the car, the events it has been invited to, the work that has been carried out and contains a huge quantity of correspondence regarding the car and sundry invoices pertaining to work carried out in recent years. The paperwork file will be available for inspection at the auction view or by prior arrangement. Invited to several prestigious events around Australia in recent years the car would potentially be eligible to run in Group Q once a CAMS logbook has been obtained. The current owner has not pursued a CAMS logbook simply because the necessity has not been there having received numerous invites to run the car at events Australia-wide. Offered for sale on the open market for the first since its construction, this fabulous TC Special will provide its new owner with an entry into some of Australia’s most prestigious historic motorsport events.

Just what exactly makes the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 one of the all time great cars and the subject of countless eulogies by motoring journalists?
COLOUR Bahia Red
It can t be the looks alone granted, the front spoiler, Carrera graphics on the sills, stylish Fuchs rims and signature ducktail look great, but to the layman it s hard to tell one early 911 apart from another. It s certainly not about extra equipment either; true to the Porsche philosophy of less is more, the RS was a stripped out, lightweight homologation special that had no radio, sun visor or armrests. Even the internal door handles were ditched to save weight. In fact, reducing mass became something of an obsession with Zuffenhausen s engineers, so the bonnet, roof and guards panels were made of thinner gauge steel on the earliest cars. Even the engine specifications don t sound all that spectacular, certainly not when compared to some of the wilder claims by the Italians; 210 bhp and 188 lbs/ft of torque hardly constituted the most powerful sports car on the road in 1973.
BODY Coupe´
What the Carrera RS 2.7 does do, and very well, is drive. Hard. Thanks to Bosch K-Jetronic injection, the air-cooled flat six revs all the way to a 7,300 rpm redline and the 5 speed gearbox is a delight to use. Top speed was 152 mph flat out and 0-60 mph dispatched in 5.5 seconds. These figures, still impressive today, were matched by very few cars back in the day. And it handled brilliantly, something Porsche demonstrated by turning the RS into the RSR and dominating Group 4. >>>

For Ferrari connoisseurs, the GTC models of the late Sixties have long been appreciated for their elegant styling, beautifully appointed cabins and race-bred mechanicals.
COLOUR Light Green Metallic
The first incarnation, the 330 GTC, was introduced at Geneva in March 1966 to fill a niche between the more overtly sporting 275 GTB and the family oriented 330 GT 2+2. Available in either coupe´ GTC or open-topped GTS guise, the new Ferrari was built on a traditional tubular steel chassis with a 2,400mm wheelbase, fully independent suspension, disc brakes all round and a 5 speed box. The 4.4 litre V12 was virtually identical to that used in 330 GT, endowing the two-seater GTC with prodigious performance. Pininfarina s lines, incorporating elements from the 500 Superfast and 275 GTS, has that classic late Sixties Italian Gran Turismo look and right is up there with his best work from the period. The body was formed in steel apart from the bonnet and boot lid, both aluminium and the appearance nicely set off by slotted 14-inch alloy wheels Borrani wires were optional . The visually appealing cockpit featured deep bucket seats, a wide centre console with signature chrome-plated gear plate, triple spoke Nardi steering wheel and teak facia.

In late 1968, Ferrari added the 4.4 litre sohc Tipo 245C V12 to the GTC, with triple Weber 40DFI/2 carburettors and 320 bhp on tap, along with 267 lbs/ft of torque. The 365 GTC was distinguished externally by the lack of vents behind the wheelarches, replaced by air intakes at the base of the windscreen. The interior was similarly left almost entirely as per the 330 GTC, apart from better ventilation courtesy of two adjustable air vents. Ferrari only built something in the order of 150 365 GTCs plus twenty open GTS versions , making this one of the rarest cars built at Maranello in the era. >>>

Count Vincenzo Agusta’s Meccanica Verghera company was formed at the end of the Second World War and became famous for their small capacity motorcycles during the Fifties and Sixties. By the mid-Sixties, MV moved towards larger capacity bikes to counter the decline in sales of the smaller 125-150cc models. Something of an enigma, this 1972 MV Agusta appears to be a model that never officially entered production, namely a 250S with electronic ignition. Based on the 250B, the mainstay of 250cc production between 1967 and 1971, the bike utilized MV’s fantastic little ohv vertical twin, with a bore and stroke of 53 x 56mm and twin Dell’Orto carburetors. First imported to London on January 30, 1973 by Gus Kuhn Motorcycles, MV factory production records indicate the bike was completed on October 27, 1972. Dated by the MV Owner’s Club, it was built some 17 months after 250cc production officially ceased. The current owner located the 250S in the United Kingdom approximately four years ago, in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition, and it has formed part of his private collection ever since. Superbly styled and beautifully crafted, this MV Agusta was one of the more sophisticated bikes on the market and this intriguing model presents a rare opportunity for collectors.

The Museum of Modern Art in New York has described the Jeep as a masterpiece of functionalist design and has one in its collection. The origins of the eponymous Jeep however, are much more humble.
COLOUR Army Green
With the push towards increasing mechanization and the need for increased mobility by armies around the world in the late Thirties, the Willys-Overland company (from an initial design by American Bantam) won the US Government contract to mass produce an all-terrain military vehicle before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour in 1941.
BODY Jeep
The original brief issued by the US Army in June 1940 called for a short wheelbase, good ground clearance, the ability to carry a large payload across country, four-wheel drive, seating for three soldiers, the ability to climb and descend steep roads and a mount for a .30 caliber machine gun. With Willys unable to cope with massively increased production demands, Ford were contracted to help with the war effort and produced the Jeep as well, transporting allied soldiers in just about every theatre. There are minor differences between the two; Ford’s Model GPW had their brand stamped on ever part and each cost the US Government $782.59, more than the $648.74 Willy’s were charging for their Model MB. Combined, no less than 600,000 drab olive Jeeps were built for the US Armed Forces in World War II, becoming every GI’s favourite piece of equipment, and very few of these survived the conflict.

lot 1 1 5
Although perhaps best recognized for providing the basis of the AC Cobra, the AC brand, initially known as Auto Carriers Ltd, has actually been in existence since as early as 1911. Its founders, the Weller brothers, had been producing cars under their own name since 1903. Based in Thames Ditton in Surrey, the firm produced its first four wheel car in 1913 but when war broke out in Europe car production ceased and instead the firm were charged with manufacturing products useful to the war efforts. After the war John Weller designed a 2 litre six cylinder overhead camshaft engine that, although running in 1919, did not go into to standard production cars until 1922. Cars powered by the 2 litre six cylinder engine rose to fame in the motorsports world and in 1926 an AC, under the guidance of Selwyn Edge and driven by Victor Bruce and W J Burnell became the first British car to win the Monte Carlo Rally. Due to the time it took to get the six cylinder engine into production the vast majority of cars produced after the war were powered by an Anzani four cylinder 1478cc engine. The four cylinder engine cars were rated at 12HP for taxation purposes and were produced up until 1928 when AC moved exclusively to the use of the six.
COLOUR Red/Black
It is a delightful four cylinder variant of the AC that we offer here. The history of this particular example is fairly well documented. It is known that the car was registered for the road in England on August 13, 1926 and remained licensed for road use until November of 1978. It is not known exactly how many owners the car has had from new but it is clear that Mr. Bernard Garrett, a well know and knowledgeable AC enthusiast, purchased the car in 1947 for the princely sum of £4 and 11s from a South London home. The then owner had walled the car into his yard and thus a crane was used to extract the car and take it to Mr. Garret’s residence! The AC was then fully restored by Mr. Garrett and sold to the York Motor Museum in 1980 for public display. While at York the car lay dormant until the current vendor purchased the car in May of this year. Since then a careful recommissioning has been carried out to bring the AC up to its full potential. Sold to make room for the purchase of another vintage car, this delightful AC is in excellent cosmetic condition, with lots of period details often missing on restored cars. It will offer its new owner a delightful vintage touring car that can be used for many car club events and tours around Australia or indeed Europe and is sure to put a smile on the faces of passers-by wherever it goes.

Little need be said about Aston Martins before hearts start racing and the opposite sex starts taking note. In the car world they are the kings of cool. Aside from the usual clichéd Bond connotations Charlie Croker drove a DB4 Convertible in the cult film The Italian Job. Add to the car’s celebrity status a superb racing pedigree and stunning looks and you have yourself a recipe for pure motoring sex appeal. Producing a very healthy 240 bhp at 5,500 rpm, the Aston Martin DB4 was the first road going car that claimed a 0-100 mph time of sub 30 seconds – indeed Aston Martin claimed it was capable of reaching 100 mph in 21 seconds. Work on the DB4 started in 1956 with the three key players being General Manager John Wyer, Chassis Designer Harold Beach and Engine Designer Tadek Marek. The body design was by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan using their ‘Superleggera’ construction. Launched at the London Motor Show in 1958 the DB4 was an instant crowd pleaser and demonstrated the British ability to mix it with Italy’s best when it came to producing a superb Gran Turismo. 1,210 DB4s were produced between October 1958 and June 1963 in which time the company produced no fewer than five different series as well as a number of variations on the theme, including the DB4 Convertible launched in 1961, the DB4 GT variant and the iconic DB4 GT Zagato.

The first series had already undergone a number of improvements, including the fitting of heavy-duty bumpers after the first 50 cars, before the 2nd series arrived in January 1960. A front-hinged bonnet, bigger brake callipers and an enlarged sump were the most notable alterations on the Series 2, while the 3rd series featured separate rear lights, two bonnet stays and a host of improvements to the interior fittings. The 4th series was the first major style change, having a new style of grille with seven vertical bars, recessed rear lights and a shallower bonnet scoop. The final, 5th series was lengthened allowing for increased leg room and a larger boot and gained 15 inch diameter wheels, an electric radiator fan and the DB4GT-type instrument panel. The Series V Vantage then paved the way for the introduction of the DB5. >>>

DB4s are generally more sought after than the DB5s by the Aston Martin cognoscenti as they do not carry the rather clichéd Bond connection of the DB5 but connect far more with a true racing pedigree. Further to this the DB4 benefits from a sleeker appearance with the lower roof line, and a more aggressive stance due to the exposed headlights reminiscent of the earlier Ferrari 250 SWB.

Designed by Harry Mundy and Walter Hassan, the all-alloy unit displaced 5.3 litres with a single overhead camshaft per bank and developed 272 bhp. Originally intended for the new XJ sedan, Jaguar also breathed new life into the E-type by redesigning it to accommodate the new V12 and the Series III was launched in 1971 in both roadster and 2+2 guise. Apart from the longer wheelbase needed to fit the V12 under the shapely bonnet, the Series III E-type had a larger front intake, reshaped wheelarches to fit 15 inch wheels and a re-designed cockpit. The V12 had a very different character to the six-cylinder E-types, with smooth, seamless power in abundance, more emphasis on creature comforts, but was still capable of turning some impressive numbers, including 0-60 mph in just 6.5 seconds and a top speed approaching 150 mph. This bespoke Jaguar E-type started life as a California car in 1974 before being totally transformed by Sovereign Motors of Santa Rosa, California in the early 1990s with a special 48-valve, quad-cam engine, a new Borg-Warner T5 gearbox, twin plate clutch, stronger rear suspension and heavy duty brakes. Stroked to 6.7 litres, V12 had two four-valve heads from late model AJ6 engines, a custom steel crank, plus Electramotive fuel injection and was dyno tested at a mighty 640 bhp. The body also came in for a little treatment, with the rear wheelarches re-profiled to fit bigger rubber plus a seamless bonnet. In this form, the unique car was extensively featured in Jaguar World’s April 1993 edition. Three years later, the Jaguar came to Australia and was professionally converted to right-hand drive by specialists in Melbourne. In March 2002 the current owner took over and has spent the last seven years further enhancing the already impressive E-Type, sparing no expense to bring the car to the present condition. >>>

MV Agusta’s first twin, a prototype 350cc bike, had an advanced double overhead camshaft specification but it wasn’t until 1963 that a twin entered production with a 160cc overhead-valve engine. By 1971, the MV’s parallel twin had grown to 350cc and was sold in two versions, the 350GT touring model and the 350B sports, using an all-alloy over-square engine with bore and stroke of 63 x 56mm. Both were updated with 12-volt electrics and electronic ignition in October 1972. With twin Dell’Orto carburetors, a 9.5:1 compression ratio and 32 bhp at 7,650 rpm, the 350B certainly had plenty of punch and could top 150 km/h. The classic frame design featured a single front downtube and the engine as a stressed member, along with 18-inch wheels and Grimeca drum brakes. This lovely Italian café racer came with clip-on handlebars, rear-set footpegs and the option of a full race fairing. Wickedly expensive when new, the 350B’s small displacement engine and nimble frame enables the rider to use all the power, thus exploiting the fantastic handling to the full. This particular bike presents in great condition, having been part of a small private collection of Italian motorcycles.

1964 Porsche 356SC Cabriolet
lot 1 1 9
The car that started it all for Porsche was the 356, evolving from the earliest Volkswagen derived prototypes of the late Forties to become a sophisticated sports car and an accomplished performer both on the road and track. With development of the all-new six-cylinder Type 901 well underway, Porsche released the final evolution of the 356 series in July 1963, known as the 356C. With a number of technical advances, including the switch to ATE disc brakes all round (with larger 15 inch wheels) and the adoption of ZF steering, the 356C was noticeably better to drive than its predecessors.
COLOUR White
The curvy body was largely unchanged but under the engine lid were revised versions of the famous flat-four. The 356C was available with two different pushrod engines, the 75 bhp 356C or the 95 bhp 356SC, with compression raised to 9.5:1 and twin Solex PJJ-4 carburetors responsible for the extra power. Another refinement used in the SC motor was a counterweighted crankshaft, giving appreciably smoother running. Porsche sold the 356SC in either coupe or cabriolet guise and the latter, with bodywork by Reutter, was beautifully finished with a lined hood that folded neatly away behind the occasional rear seats. It’s worth noting that Porsche wouldn’t build another full cabriolet for twenty years.
TRANSMISSION 4 Speed Manual
This particular car was delivered in the United Kingdom on April 25, 1964 and finished in the exotic sounding Togo Brown (Code 6411) with fawn leather trim. After coming to Australia in the 1970s, the Porsche was completely restored from the ground up by a marque specialist in New South Wales during the 1990s and is now the property of a South Australian collector. With matching numbers (engine and gearbox) and a set of genuine chrome wheels, the Porsche is a stunning example of this desirable model. The 356SC Cabriolet is an absolute delight to drive, the willing Boxer motor pushing the little car along at rapid speeds, while having the top down adds an entirely different dimension to the 356’s character. Although austere by modern standards, the painted dash under the leather pad is well stocked and everything about the car is beautifully made in typically Teutonic fashion.

Still arguably the most futuristic, outrageous supercar of all, it s hard to believe Lamborghini s Countach was first unveiled almost four decades ago at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show.
COLOUR White
Styled by Marcello Gandini, the Countach s amazing shape redefined how a supercar should be, the sort of car that stopped tracks and dropped jaws. The aggressive wedge shape is made up of a clash of geometric shapes, all sharp angles and straight edges, all seemingly at odds yet there is a harmonious quality to the Countach s styling. This theme is carried over to the interior - just climbing into the Countach is dramatic, with those scissor doors rising to admit entry, to the horizontal planes of the instrument binnacle. The Lamborghini s mechanicals evolved from the original 4 litre V12 to 4754cc s in 1982, upped to 5167cc in 1985 with the arrival of the four-valve-per-cylinder model. This boosted power to a mighty 455 bhp, making the LP5000 Qv more than a match for Ferrari s new Testarossa. Driving a Countach, particularly the Qv, is an awesomely tactile experience, with go-kart like handling thanks to the razor sharp steering, lack of body roll and fat P7 tyres.
BODY Coupe´
A UK specification Countach Qv, this car was first owned by Mike Taylor of St. Peters, Jersey in the Channel Islands and delivered in white with red leather piped in white upholstery, a rear wing and sports exhaust. Taylor collected the car from the factory on September 3rd, 1987 and drove it across Italy and France to the ferry the original ticket is still on file! on EE plates. The Lamborghini remained with the original owner until 2002, when it passed to the current custodian, a well known Queensland collector, with 19,618 kilometres on the clock. >>>

1988 Lamborghini Jalpa 3.5 litre
lot 1 21
The Jalpa ably fulfilled the role of junior supercar in the Lamborghini line-up during the 1980s, being slightly more affordable and a lot more practical than the Countach indeed, the little Lambo is actually bigger in almost every dimension, other than width and engine capacity. Developed from the Silhouette itself derived from the earlier Urraco , the Jalpa s mid-engined, transverse V8 layout pitched it squarely against Ferrari s 308 series and the car from Sant Agata acquitted itself very well against its Modenese rival both on paper and on the road. The Jalpa, whose name was taken from a breed of fighting bull, had a roomy cockpit and the targa roof really made it comfortable for taller drivers, in warmer climates at least. The body was a clever update of the Silhouette s Bertone styling, with colour-coded spoilers, integrated wheelarch flares covering bigger 16-inch alloy wheels and the removable roof panel ensuring the Jalpa still looked fresh when production ceased in 1988. The 3.5 litre 90-degree V8, with twin overhead camshafts per bank, developed 255 bhp at 7000 rpm, enough to push the Lamborghini to a top speed in the region of 150 mph. Lamborghinis of this era were always crafted in tiny numbers and just 410 Jalpas escaped the Sant Agata factory between 1981 and 1988, when Chrysler called a halt to production, of which around 42 were specified with right-hand drive.

With the magnificent Countach nearing the end of its life by the late 1980s, and fresh funds available with the Chrysler takeover in 1987, Lamborghini accelerated the development of its replacement.
COLOUR Azzure Acapulco Metallic
Known as the Diablo, after a fighting breed of bull raised by the Duke of Veragua, the new car was initially styled by Marcello Gandini but Chrysler s designers also had some input much to his chagrin, softening the shape somewhat. Launched to the public at the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo on January 21, 1990, the Diablo featured a 48-valve V12 with twin overhead camshafts , larger 5.7 litre capacity and the latest electronic fuel injection to boost power to 492 bhp at 7,000 rpm. Ferrari s F40 may have raised the bar, but the Diablo hit back with some mightily impressive performance figures 0-100 km/h took just four seconds and the top speed was in the order of 325 km/h. Chrysler s influence could also be felt in the cockpit, with better ergonomics, air conditioning that actually worked and easier access. Options were few but included the trademark rear wing, fitted luggage and a Breguet clock. Lamborghini had intended the Diablo to have four-wheel drive right from the outset and developed the VT model with viscous coupling to split power between the front and rear wheels. At the 1992 Geneva Motor Show, Lamborghini unveiled another remarkable Diablo derivative, the Roadster featuring a removable roof panel that was stored atop the rear deck and the model entered production at the end of 1995. With the chassis structure suitably strengthened, the Roadster added another dimension to Lamborghini s flagship and proved a popular choice in warmer climates like California and Florida. >>>

1974 Lamborghini Espada Series 3
lot 1 23
Having already amazed the world with his audacious V12 and stunned them with the gorgeous Miura, Ferruccio Lamborghini s third act was to build a dramatic new front-engined four-seater.
COLOUR Black
Launched in March 1968, the Espada was again styled by Bertone s Marcello Gandini and the low-slung lines were heavily influenced by the exotic Marzal concept car. The engine was the same fabulous quad-cam V12 found in the Miura, with six twin-choke Weber 40DCOE carburetors and a 5 speed gearbox. The chassis was designed by engineer Gian Polo Dallara, with fully independent suspension, ZF worm and sector steering power assist was an option from 1970 and disc brakes all round, and the Espada has a reputation for being surprisingly nimble considering its dimensions. The ten year production run for the Espada can be neatly divided into three distinct series and it ultimately became the most successful Lamborghini to date, with 1,217 units built. The first Espadas had a hexagonal dash and knock-off wheels; for the Series 2, Lamborghini raised the compression ratio to boost power to 325 bhp, added ventilated disc brakes and a revised dash layout. The final Espada iteration was the Series 3, announced at the 1973 Turin Motor Show, with a completely redesigned cockpit dominated by a wraparound dashboard, air conditioning was now standard and the option of automatic transmission. Other changes saw recessed headlamps and new tail light clusters, better brakes and ZF power steering as standard. Lamborghini built 456 Series 3 cars before production of ceased in 1978.
BODY Coupe´
Formerly owned by the UK Lamborghini Club President, this Series 3 Espada is a desirable manual car with power steering and air conditioning, originally finished in metallic silver with black leather upholstery. Currently showing 89,000 miles and with six documented owners from new, the Lamborghini has been with the present owner, a private Queensland collector, since December 1994. The car was repainted black in 1985 and the interior re-trimmed by Tonino Lamborghini of London. Electric mirrors were fitted in 1995, along with a fuel cutout switch. Needing a little cosmetic work to the body, this Espada is mechanically sound and a great driver and is a matching number car as confirmed by the factory. The Lamborghini comes with a leather pouch with handbooks, two sets of keys and a history folder. With Miuras having broken through the million dollar mark, this is the definitely the most affordable way into a classic V12 Lamborghini. Sold without registration.

It s hard to imagine Lamborghini could top the Miura but somehow the team at Sant Agata managed to build a car that was even more outrageous, more spectacular and more, well‌ Lamborghini than before.
COLOUR Pearl White
Even the name says it all, the word Countach translated from Piedmontese is a term of utter astonishment. Styled by Marcello Gandini, where the Miura had been all subtle curves, the Countach was a wedge defined by sharp lines and angles. The Countach s party piece were those scissor doors which just added to the drama when climbing in or out. Once again, Lamborghini employed a longitudinally mounted V12 behind the driver, initially using the Miura s 4 litre plant fed by six Weber carburetors. In 1978, the original LP400 became the LP400S, with flared wheelarches covering fat Pirelli P7s and an integrated front spoiler, plus the option of a rear wing. In 1982, the Countach finally received the 5 litre V12 it was supposed to have had all along and for 1985 Lamborghini expanded this to 5.2 litres and fitted a four-valve-per-cylinder head hence quattrovalvove . Although American market cars were sold with Bosch fuel injection, the rest of the world stuck with Webers. The final Countach was the 25th Anniversary model of 1988, little changed apart from the addition of side skirts, restyled air intakes and engine covers, none of which exactly enhanced the appearance.

Finished in Pearl White a $20,000 optional extra with white leather upholstery and rear wing, this Countach Qv was originally delivered to the current owner in the United Kingdom in 1986. Then living in London, he brought the car to Australia after moving here a couple of years later. Enjoying just two further owners in Australia between 1991 and 2007, the vendor ultimately tracked the car down and re-purchased it for his private Lamborghini collection. In February 2009 in excess of $33,000 was spent with Lamborghini Melbourne having a full mechanical overhaul, during which numerous trim items were attended to. Nice touches are the original Alpine stereo, tool roll and Ruote OZ rims with Pirelli P-Zero rubber. Although not in perfect cosmetic condition the original paint and trim are showing some wear , the Countach is perfect for someone who cares more about driving their car than polishing it. Included in the sale is a comprehensive file including receipts, registration papers and service history from the time and an original Lamborghini driver s handbook. Sold without registration.

1966 Jaguar S-Type
lot 1 25
A proper businessman s express, Jaguar s S-Type was released in September 1963 as an evolution of the existing Mark 2 compact sports saloon, taking the basic shape and running gear of that car but incorporating the more sophisticated independent rear end from the E-Type sports car. Bill Lyons also took the opportunity to update the styling, adopting a larger rear window and bootline from the luxury Mark X saloon along with discrete changes to the grille, fog lamps and roofline. The S-Type could be ordered with either 3.4 or 3.8 litre versions of the legendary XK six, both with twin SUs, and despite the additional weight of the IRS, the new Jaguar was an excellent performer. No changes were deemed necessary to the Mark 2 s Dunlop disc braking system but a higher-geared Burman power steering unit, with 3.5 turns lock-to-lock, was a definite improvement. The already generously equipped cabin was also upgraded, with a walnut veneer dash that was essentially a scaled-down version of the Mark X, featuring a recessed centre panel and individual front seat armrests, while the rear seat was repositioned to appreciably increase headroom and leg space. The heating and ventilation system was improved as well. Combining all the attributes of the Mark 2 with even more refinement and luxury, not to mention vastly improved roadholding and steering, the S-Type also represents excellent value for money. With the current owner since 2007, this lovely Jaguar S-type was restored by the previous owner in 1993-2007 and presents in beautiful condition both inside and out. Starting life as a 3.4 litre car, the Jaguar now has the more desirable 3.8 litre engine. The bodywork underwent a bare metal respray in Oyster Gold metallic and the interior has been re-trimmed in pale brown leather. Fitted with wire knock-on wheels and a wood rim steering wheel it comes with the original set of wheels and steering wheel , period radio and mostly complete tool kit.

After going to D.A.Shells of London, Keith Laney took the Lola to New Zealand in 1972 and raced it with some success. The car then passed to Harry Holt of New Zealand in 1976, and is rumoured to have emigrated to Australia in his yacht with the Lola strapped to the deck! Movie producer Matt Carroll raced the car from 1978 with a 998 MAE engine before selling it to Don Black of Galston, NSW in 1989 and he replaced the motor with a twin-cam but stored the car after just a few races. Black found an original 1 litre and some associated spares but ill health prevented him from completing the project. Discovered by the current owner in Black s shed in 2001, the Lola was painstakingly restored by John Masala over a five-year period, using a correct SCA Cosworth motor.

The Perkins/Ingall car is forced to make an unscheduled stop leaving them 45 seconds adrift and well down in 29 th position when they rejoin. Things aren’t looking good for the pair but a combination of heroic driving and bad luck for several key rivals sees the Ingall/Perkins Commodore cross the line in first place, scoring a memorable win in The Great Race. It is this very car that we offer for sale here – the only car ever to have come from the back of the pack to win this legendary race.
COLOUR Castrol Livery
In hindsight, the Castrol Team Perkins Racing car had all the credentials to pull off this incredible achievement. Larry Perkins isn’t just a great racing driver, but a gifted engineer able to compete on level terms with some of the best funded teams in motor sport. Often regarded as the engineering mastermind behind the Holden Dealer Team hat-trick of wins at Bathurst from 1982 to 1984, Perkins set up a small operation in Moorabbin, Victoria running a one-car team. Despite running just a single car entry, successes were plentiful and sponsors keen to get involved. By the 1990s Perkins’ Team was sponsored by Castrol and despite still only running one car was one of the favourites for the 1995 race victory.

Having prized victory from the jaws of defeat this car was later came into the possession of Mark Seamons. It then passed to the current owner around two years ago and since then it has been kindly loaned to the National Motor Racing Museum in Bathurst where it has been on display for the public to admire. Offered for sale on the open market for the first time it represents a superb opportunity to acquire one of motor racings iconic cars in largely original race condition. >>>

Although perhaps not as exciting or incredible as the result in 1995, when Perkins and Ingall brought their car from a lap down at one stage to take the win, no victory at Bathurst is ever easy and thus the result is still hugely impressive. Ingall and Perkins had qualified 4th on the grid and had a good car underneath them. By the first corner they were in second place and in comparison to 1995 it was plain sailing from there. In Perkins’ first stint he broke the lap record with a time of 2 minutes 12.3398 seconds – a record that stood until 2001. The toughest part of the race was trying to pass the Gardner/ Crompton Commodore but Perkins was able to avoid the oil slick when they blew up and took the lead. Ingall later ran out of fuel at The Chase, running across the grass, but was able to switch to the reserve and kept going to hand over to Perkins for the remaining 36 laps. The Ingall/Perkins entry built up a substantial lead, enough to make a splash and dash fuel stop and came out 18 seconds up on the Richards/Stevens car. Richards managed to reduce the deficit to just 11 seconds but Perkins went on to win the event after 161 gruelling laps of the Mount Panorama circuit.

The relatively straightforward victory is testament to the build quality of the car and the skill of its two pilots. Whilst not as dramatic as the 1995 race, the 1997 race victory is still a significant and impressive one. The opportunity to acquire a Bathurst winning car is rare to say the least and this fully restored car would make an extremely worthy addition to any racing car collection. Having sealed victory at Bathurst, Perkins continued to campaign the Holden until the sixth round of the 1998 Australian Touring Car Championship (ATCC) at Wanneroo in May 1998. In September 1998, Perkins sold the car to Barry Morcom who competed at Eastern Creek, The Clipsal 500 at Sandown and the Oran Park round of the ATCC in September 1999. >>>

Irishman Eddie Jordan brought a touch of glamour and excitement to the otherwise staid and corporate world of Formula One when his team burst onto the scene in 1991. Invariably photographed with a bevy of gorgeous grid girls, Jordan’s ‘Rock and Roll’ lifestyle earned him a playboy image but the team also put in some solid results, largely thanks to Technical Director Gary Anderson. The debut season is perhaps best remembered for Michael Schumacher replacing the infamous Bernard Gachot (whose dislike of taxi drivers prematurely ended his racing career) at Spa before the rising German star was poached by Flavio Briatore’s Benetton team. Struggling to capitalise on their early promise, Jordan became famous for giving rising stars like Eddie Irvine and Rubens Barrichello their start in F1. Finished in the distinctive yellow and black ‘Buzzin’ Hornets’ livery, Jordan 198-009 has a plate dating the car to May 1998 and is substantially complete apart from missing the engine and a few minor ancillaries. The Jordan is a fantastic display item, perfect for the Damon Hill collector, or indeed any fan of F1.

For 1998, Jordan switched to Mugen (Honda) power with Damon Hill and Ralf Schumacher as their driver line-up. Off the pace for the first half of the season, the Anderson-designed 198 really began to shine towards the end of the year. The highlight of the season was without doubt the one-two at Spa in the wet, Jordan’s first ever Grand Prix win, Damon leading Ralf home to a famous victory. It was also Hill’s 22nd (and final) career win in an F1 car and slightly controversial, Ralf believing team orders had prevented him from winning. The 198 had a good season, taking three podiums and the Irish outfit finished fourth in the Constructors Championship, with Hill fifth in the final standings. >>>

1969 Jaguar E-type 2+2 Coupé
lot 1 31
Launched in 1961, the Jaguar E-type is truly a motoring icon and epitomises all that was great about the Swinging Sixties. With a claimed top speed of 150 mph, available at a faction of the cost of its contemporary Aston Martins and Ferraris, the E-type was an instant hit. Malcolm Sayer’s aerodynamic styling was derived from the streamlined D-Types that dominated Le Mans and the E-Type was soon proving itself on the racetracks of the world. Several major revisions to the E-type saw continued sales success. In 1964 the upgrade of the 3.8 litre engine to 4.2 litres, together with the adoption of an all-synchromesh gearbox, saw the first major mechanical alterations. Other changes included improvements to the interior, stronger brakes and better electrics along with the option of automatic transmission and a 2+2 model alongside the classic coupe and roadster. The Series 2 was introduced in October 1968 with minor styling modifications to the nose, new tail light clusters and a new dashboard with rocker switches in place of the toggles to meet new safety regulations. The accompanying history file sold with the car indicates that it arrived in Australia as a white right hand drive coupé with blue trim and automatic transmission. By 1997 the car had been sold to Peter May by Grand Prix Autos in Brisbane and at this stage had been painted red and had been converted to manual transmission. Purchased by the current owner in 2008 from Ian Mckinney of Brisbane, the car had been the subject of a restoration of the drive-train, chassis and interior trim that had taken place between 1999 and 2005. Used sparingly since, the vendor reports that he has only carried out minor servicing on the car since as and when required. This example of Jaguar’s E-type coupe offers a relatively inexpensive route into E-type ownership and given some minor cosmetic improvements over time, should make for a very enjoyable and useable classic in the long term.

1942 Harley-Davidson WLA Motorcycle & Dustings Sidecar
lot 1 32
Harley-Davidson’s legendary flathead first hit the highways of America in 1929 and remained the mainstay of the Milwaukee Company’s range until 1974. The simple design, reliability and inherent strength made the W-Series the natural choice for police forces across the country, while the WLA was specifically tailored to suit the needs of the United States Army. Changes included a plate to protect the sump, pannier racks front and rear, an oil bath cleaner developed for North Africa, blacked-out auxiliary bath and a fishtail exhaust to reduce noise levels. The WL models had a higher compression 45-cid engine and dry-sump lubrication had been a feature since 1937. Over 90,000 were built for the Second World War and of these some 30,000 went to major American allies like the Soviet Union. As with most military hardware, the numbers of surviving WLAs is proportionally very small, with surplus stock converted for civilian use.

This faithfully restored 1942 Harley-Davidson WLA was discovered in Echuca, Victoria by the current owner and is believed to have had just one previous owner.

Finished in two-tone maroon and cream, with brown leather upholstery, sidescreens and a tonneau, with lots of nice details like the Dustings stickers and whitewall tyres, this authentic WLA Harley is great for display or club events.

During the early 1980s Audi were responsible for creating a 4WD revolution in the rally world, winning both the Manufacturers’ Championship in 1982 and 1984 and the Driver’s Championships in 1983 and 1984. Introduced in 1980 the Audi Quattro brought 4WD onto the road. Based on the Coupe’s body shell with a different floor pan to accommodate the four wheel drive system and independent rear suspension, it was powered by a five-cylinder, 2.1 litre unit developed from the engine first found in the 200 saloon. Equipped with a KKK turbocharger, the engine produced around 200 bhp in road trim with competition trim engines off the Richter scale power wise. The cars were an instant success and have already become a classic at a relatively young age due to their quirky looks and competition pedigree. Details supplied by the vendor indicate the car was delivered on October 24, 1983 through the VAG (VW Audi Group UK Ltd) personal export and sale program in London. To facilitate a speedy delivery to Australia it was first registered in the UK (Registration No. A877 TUC) in the name of wealthy South Australian Grazier and car enthusiast Tom Barr-Smith. It immediately left for Australia and was first registered in South Australia on January 6, 1984 (Registration No. UGD 466). The accompanying service book indicates that all routine services were carried out in its early life, with further receipts supporting later services carried out. In around 1988 the car was sold and went to Brisbane where it was registered 646AUK (later converted to AYE 1). The owner at this stage used the car for commuting between Bundaberg and Brisbane. The current owner purchased the car in 1995 and immediately commissioned Quattro Specialists Kevin Bartlett Racing Pty. Ltd. to rebuild the engine and turbocharger and thoroughly check over the car. A receipt for this work is available for inspection. Cosmetically the car had suffered a little in the Sunshine State and thus the dash was replaced, the steering wheel recovered in suede and the seats re-upholstered in original fabric sourced from the UK.

Ford’s XP Coupé has long been regarded as one of Australia’s most iconic Sixties motor cars, an ultra cool, stylish hardtop that will never go out of fashion. The XP was the final facelift of Ford Australia’s first locally-made Falcon and incorporated a number of significant improvements over the outgoing XM, most notably the option of power disc brakes up front (Girling items, a first on an Australian-made car). First seen in February 1965, the XP range consisted of three models – the Falcon, the Futura and Fairmont – and proved a big hit with both the public and press alike, capturing Wheels Magazine’s “Car of the Year” award for 1965. The Falcon buyer could choose from the sedan, a wagon or the coupé with no less than three engines; the base 144 Economy Six, the 170 Pursuit Six and the 121 bhp 200 Super Pursuit Six, while transmission options included the locally-made BorgWarner 35 automatic. The XP remained in production until September 1966, some 70,954 examples leaving the various Ford factories around the country. This mint condition Falcon Futura was purchased already restored by the current owner around ten years ago. The paint and upholstery still present in fantastic condition, while the mechanicals have all been done, recent work including a new cylinder head and the brakes and transmission overhauled. New carpets have also been fitted throughout and the car has a modern CD player nicely integrated in the glovebox, with speakers discretely fitted. Other notable features include the whitewalls, venetian blind, twin mirrors and pearl steering wheel.

It is very rare that the CTS team are lost for words but when we first saw this car that was exactly what happened... The Hot Rod scene in Australia is huge, second only to the USA in both size and stature. It is fair to say that the quality of Hot Rods produced in Australia are of the highest standards found anywhere in the world. The car we offer here would fall into the top echelon of Australian built Hot Rods and would be a most welcome addition at any of the top Australian Hot Rod Events be it MotorEx in Sydney, The Valla Park Hot Rod Run in Queensland or the Bright Hot Rod Run in Victoria to name but a few. It certainly has the potential to be an overall show winner at any of these events too. This particular car was purchased by the current vendor in 1986 at a Hot Rod show in Victoria. At the time the car had only received minor alterations from the original specification, having been lowered and the roof chopped, but gave little hint of the superb car it has morphed into today. Initially the owner made some minor alterations but in the early 1990s the decision was made to take the car off the road and carry out a no expense spared restoration to its current specification. The inspiration for the overall look of the car was taken from the superb European coachbuilders of the 1930s. Colin Jacka, a well known and highly respected Hot Rod restorer and creator was charged with the job of realising the owner’s dream design. Work carried out included a total reshaping of the front end, with a 1940 Mercury bonnet grafted onto a ’39 hood. The bonnet was then carefully and skilfully louvered by a traditional metal worker in Wangaratta, Victoria and the 48 piece grille was crafted by Jacka together with the front guards and suicide doors. The windscreen was further reduced in height to improve the overall lines of the car, a fin was attached to the boot lid and the roof can be removed but doesn’t fold down to avoid spoiling the clean shape. >>>

Once completed the car’s first major outing was at the Bright Hot Rod Run in Victoria and it caused a huge stir, with crowds at least three deep admiring the car all day long. The car has also featured in a number of publications, including Unique Cars January 2007 edition. Unfortunately there is simply not enough space to fully detail all of the work carried out on this car but more information regarding the car’s creation is available from the CTS Auctions team or indeed in the Unique Cars Magazine article. What is safe to say is that this car has been constructed regardless of cost and to the very highest standards possible.

1965 Mercedes-Benz 600 Grosser Saloon
lot 1 36
Beloved by presidents and plutocrats the world over, Mercedes-Benz set out to build the Best Car in the World and with the 600, they succeeded admirably. Known universally as the Grosser due to the massive scale of the car, the 600 was an incredible piece of engineering, without doubt the most technically advanced luxury car of the era. The mighty M100 6.3 litre V8 engine developed 250 bhp and a colossal 369 lbs/ft of torque, more than enough to propel the 600 down the autobahn at a serious rate, keeping drivers of lesser cars watching their mirrors. Every facet of the 600’s design was over-engineered, from the powerful disc brakes to the self-leveling fully independent suspension. A complex hydraulic system operated the central locking, bootlid and petrol cap, the power windows and the fully adjustable front and rear seats. Separate heating and ventilation systems for the front and rear compartments was another novel feature. Even the horn was over the top – Jeremy Clarkson demonstrated it was the loudest in the world in an episode of Top Gear. Mercedes-Benz launched the Grosser in 1963 and it remained available to order as late as 1980, with 2,190 short-wheelbase cars, 428 Pullmans and 59 Landaulettes built over that period. Of these, 342 were sold to right-hand drive markets like England and Australia. Famous Grosser customers included the Pope, Prince Ranier of Monaco, Fidel Castro, Aristotle Onassis, Elvis Presley and John Lennon – in the Sixties and Seventies celebrities, pop stars and heads of state all lined up at Stuttgart to own one. Even at the height of the Cold War period, communist leaders like Fidel Castro, Leonid Brezhnev and Pol Pot all strangely favoured what was surely the ultimate in capitalist transportation. Finished in black with parchment leather upholstery, this outstanding and very early 600 is a factory right-hand drive car first delivered to York Star Motors in New South Wales, Australia. The current owner has totally restored the Mercedes-Benz over the last decade, rebuilding the motor in 2006 with new pistons, rings, bearings, valves and chains. The interior received a leather kit from GAHH in 2005 and the black paintwork was also re-done to a high standard. Everyone knows the cost of restoring one can be prohibitive and the only way to purchase a 600 is to find one already done. Sold without registration.

1924 Vauxhall 30-98 OE-Type Velox Tourer
lot 1 37
Regarded by many as a Bentley beater for the connoisseur the Vauxhall 30-98 was nothing short of a super car in the early 1920s. With speeds in excess of 100 mph in stripped racing form it was capable of running rings round the 3 Litre Bentleys on the open road and was the chosen stead of many of the world’s wealthy elite and racing rascals.The first 30-98 was constructed in 1913 and was supplied to a car dealer and motorsport competitor by the name of Higginson whose initial objective was victory at the Shelsley Walsh Hillclimb in June of that year. If successful the result would significantly increase the appeal of the Vauxhall brand and thus encourage sales for Higginson. The Laurence Pomeroy designed car didn’t disappoint – it was such a success in fact that Higginson broke the hill record – a record which then stood for 15 years. Initial production was minimal and with the outbreak of WW1 the production of Vauxhall 30-98s was placed on hold. However production resumed after the war and by September of 1922 287 E-type 30-98s had been produced. There was then a brief gap in production until 1923 when the upgraded 30-98 was introduced named the OE-Type (the O stands for overhead-valve). While the engine capacity had been reduced from roughly 4.5 litres to 4.25 litres the power output had increased to 110 bhp + due to the more advanced and modern overhead valve system. Ask any of the Vauxhall cognoscenti and they’ll inform you that 30-98s are not known for their great stopping ability but in 1924 front wheel brakes were introduced which did help a little. However, given the good handling and strong torquey motors, stopping was not what Vauxhall owners were about. Going as fast as possible on the open road or round a track was far more the ticket and the cars performed admirably at many speed events particularly in the UK and Australia. By 1927 when the last 30-98s were produced, the buyers had ceased to exist in any great numbers due to the rather aged design of the car and the high cost at a time of economic depression. General Motors took over Vauxhall and the rest, as they say, is history. Had Vauxhall Motors followed Bentley and taken their cars to Le Mans and seen success the brand would likely carry a far greater caché in today’s society. It is a testament to their design and sporting appeal that a good number of both E-type and OE-type 30-98s survive to this day and are highly sort after by collectors of vintage sporting cars. The market value of 30-98 Vauxhalls has increased significantly in recent years but consider the plethora of events available to 30-98 owners all around the world and the rise value is perhaps unsurprising and should be sustainable in the long term. >>>

>>> Factory records kindly relayed to the author by Vauxhall 30-98 historian Nic Portway, indicate that Chassis 0E 178 left the Vauxhall works in December 1924 and that the car was fitted with a Velox style body and engine number 187 making this example a ‘matching numbers’ car. At the time of going to press the early history of the car was still being investigated and it is hoped that by the time of the sale more information will be available. Working back from the present day the car has been in the ownership of the Braid family of Wagga Wagga, NSW since 1954/55. In more recent times Vauxhall restorer, Barry Ford was commissioned by the Braid’s to carry out a cosmetic restoration of the car which has been completed and the car presents very well. A few mechanical niggles were sorted but the major running gear was left untouched and it is thus highly original. The car was purchased by the Braid family from Brian Marsland who in turn had purchased the car in around 1952/53 from Barry Ford. Barry Ford had purchased the car from a Mr Buckle in 1952. At the time of purchase it was in totally original condition and was fitted with scuttle mounted instruments already. Buckle informed Ford that he had purchased the car from Vauxhall Motors in Luton and there was the suggestion the 30-98 may have had a Brooklands history thanks to a couple of dash plaques (one showing it had ‘been timed’ on the Surrey track at c.108 mph). The holes where these plaques were located are still visible on the dashboard but it’s not known why, when or where they were removed, nor is it possible to confirm the Brooklands history without the UK registration number. If the original registration can be traced, it may be possible for historian Nic Portway to establish the origin of the scuttle-mounted instruments and whether it competed at Brooklands in period. Some records indicate that Mr Buckle had brought the car to Australia in 1934 but it seems likely that it came here earlier. Tickets for the Milsons Point to The Rocks Sydney vehicular ferry were found behind the upholstery in the Vauxhall when the cosmetic restoration was carried out and since in 1934 the Sydney Harbour Bridge was open, it would be unlikely that the vehicular ferry would still be used. How early it was brought here is not known at present. Whilst we can’t be sure of this car’s early history or any Brooklands history at the time of going to press what is clear is that OE 178 is an original ‘matching numbers’ example of a highly sought after vintage sports car. It has had very few owners from new and is offered for sale for the first time since the mid-1950s. Given a mechanical re-commissioning this car could be fairly described as one of the finest and most authentic examples of its kind anywhere in the world and would thus be most welcome at all the wonderful events Vauxhall owners enjoy. N.B. This car is subject to GST on the hammer price. If the car is exported from Australia within the government guideline times then it is possible that the GST can be reclaimed.

lot 1 38
Lamborghini’s Islero was introduced in 1968 as a replacement for the 400 GT and was another successful interpretation of Gentleman’s Express theme, with crisp styling featuring fashionable retractable headlights. The bodywork was made by Marazzi in Milan but the design was reputedly the work of Ferruccio himself, who wanted something to appeal more to the successful businessman than the rich playboy. Under the bonnet, the Islero used the Miura’s 4 litre V12 motor with six twin-choke Weber 40DCOE carburetors, mounted up front and developing 320 bhp at 6500 rpm. The tubular chassis followed typical Lamborghini practice, with independent suspension front and rear, disc brakes all round and a five-speed transmission. Another feature common to the contemporary Miuras was the gorgeous Campagnolo cast magnesium wheels, although wires were an option. Debuting at the Turin Salon in March 1968, just 225 Isleros were built by 1970, of which 125 were pre-S models. The Islero was the perfect car for dashing from Turin down the Autostrada del Sole to Rome in the late 1960s, with a top speed of 154 mph and decent acceleration too, the 0-60 mph time of 6.4 seconds still considered quick today.
COLOUR Metallic Turquoise Blue
One of few Isleros delivered with factory knock-on Borrani wire wheels and formerly owned by John Britton of England, this magnificent Lamborghini is one of three Isleros currently believed to reside in Australia. The striking light turquoise metallic blue paintwork looks fantastic and is beautifully complemented by the original tobacco leather upholstery, which is in great condition. This colour scheme was actually the same as Ferruccio Lamborghini’s personal Islero and it’s not hard to see why, as the car looks gorgeous. The Lamborghini has just undergone a thorough mechanical rejuvenation by marque specialists in Melbourne, including suspension, brake overhaul and a full service. This car has never been apart and still feels strong and surefooted, with ample power plus that sonorous V12 engine note. A superb and very rare, not to mention increasingly collectible, Lamborghini.

1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Pininfarina Coupe´
lot 1 39
The Ferrari Daytona remains one of the coolest GT cars on the planet, a defiantly traditional front-engined two-seater when upstart rivals Lamborghini already had a mid-engined supercar, the Miura, on the market.
COLOUR Red
Replacing the 275 GTB/4 as the flagship in the Ferrari range, the 365 GTB/4 again used a tubular frame with a 94.5-inch wheelbase, a quad-cam 4.4 litre engine sporting six Weber 40DCN/20s pumping out 352 bhp and serious torque, driving the rear wheels through a rear-mounted 5 speed transaxle.
BODY Coupe´
The gorgeous Pininfarina styling was both delicate and brutal, from the shark like nose and long deck to the truncated tail all the work of talented designer Leonardo Fioravanti. Unlike Lamborghini s rather exaggerated claims for the Miura, the Daytona named after Ferrari s one-two-three triumph at the Florida circuit in 1967 really was the business when it came to belting down the autostrada on a high speed run. Indeed, Road and Track recorded a top speed of 173 mph, the fastest car tested by the magazine to date and the Daytona also has serious racing pedigree, scoring numerous class wins at the Le Mans 24-Hours, the 24-Hours of Daytona and even outright victory at the Tour de France. The cockpit, strictly a selfish two-seater, has a nice airy feel with plenty of legroom, plus full instrumentation and luxury features like power windows and air conditioning to justify the eye-watering price. >>>

This immaculate early plexi Daytona is a factory right-hand drive car, originally finished in Rosso Cordoba 20-R-351 with Pelle Nera N/P upholstery. Ordered by Peter Stubberfield, who took delivery of an earlier car, chassis 14059 was instead sold by Maranello Concessionaires to a Mr. Harrison. Later owners included David Heynes and collector Tom Walduck before the Ferrari passed to David Houghton-Edwards of South Australia circa 2000. The Daytona competed in several Classic Adelaide rallies and was later owned by collector Rob Sherrard in Queensland before passing to the current custodian. Recent work includes a back to metal repaint, new plexiglass cover not illustrated but will be fitted by the time of sale , indicator lenses and chromework and has the benefit of power steering recently fitted at a cost of $20,000 which totally transforms the driving experience. A beautiful early Daytona in tip top condition that s ready for the next owner to enjoy. Sold without registration.

1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Series 1
lot 1 40
The resounding success of the four-seater 250 GTE, with over 1,000 made in four years of production, encouraged Ferrari to build a suitable replacement in 1964. The 330 GT 2+2 was a logical development of the earlier model, using a 4 litre version of Colombo’s fantastic V12 engine with a single overhead camshaft per bank, triple Weber 40DCZ/6 carburetors, 8.8:1 compression ratio and developed 300 bhp at 6,600 rpm. The same four-speed manual transmission (with electric overdrive) was employed for the 330 GT although later Ferrari switched to a five-speed in 1965. The chassis was also broadly similar, with coil-sprung independent front suspension and a solid rear axle, Koni adjustable shock absorbers all round and four-wheel disc brakes. On first series cars, Borrani knock-off wire wheels were standard. The 330 GT grew slightly to provide more interior room and Pininfarina’s styling was an evolution of the GTEs, with clean, conservative lines apart from the slightly controversial four headlamp nose. The interior was about as luxurious as it got in the mid-1960s, a mixture of rich Connolly hides, thick carpet and wood veneer dash with full instrumentation. The 330 GT 2+2 may have been the family Ferrari, but the performance was still in the big league, with the 0-100 km/h dash taking just 6.3 seconds and a top speed of around 250 km/h – not many cars in 1965 could live with that. Capable of fast motorway driving with four passengers in absolute comfort, the 330 GT 2+2 also had the ability to carry plenty of luggage. With only 627 Series 1 330 GTs made, of which 59 came with right-hand drive, there’s little chance of meeting another on Australian roads and they are definitely one of the most affordable classic front-engined Ferraris from the Sixties. This factory right-hand drive specification 330 GT 2+2 was delivered through the UK agent Maranello Concessionaires to a Mr R S Mead of Maidenhead, Berkshire in 1965. The car was originally painted Azzurro with blue VM3105 leather upholstery. Later owners included Robert P.Abraham and Stephen J.Pilkington and it was then recorded in the Australian Ferrari Register by the late 1980s. The car underwent a comprehensive restoration in the 1990s and is still in first class condition today, with great paint and the tobacco interior has just been freshened up. The car is in excellent mechanical condition, having benefited from a recent gearbox rebuild, the brakes overhauled and the suspension all done. The property of a private Melbourne collector, the car comes with the original wallet containing the driver’s manual.

1963 Ferrari TR59/60 Recreation
lot 1 41
The Testa Rossa (literally translated, Red Head), represents one of the most important chapters in the Prancing Horse’s competition history. The first Ferrari with the famous red crackle finish on the cam covers was actually a 2-litre fourcylinder race car built in 1956, the 500 Testa Rossa, campaigned by privateers in all manner of sports car races around the world. In 1957 Ferrari began racing the 250 Testa Rossa (with the classic 3-litre V12 under the bonnet) in the World Sportscar Championship, and a number of these pontoon-fendered cars were sold to favoured customers in 1958. With the FIA’s switch to a new 3-litre formula, the Testa Rossa became Ferrari’s front-line weapon in sports car racing from 1958 to 1961 and completely dominated the series. After winning Le Mans and the Championship in 1958 with Scaglietti-bodied cars, the 1959 models (restyled by Pininfarina and made by Fantuzzi of Modena) were beaten by Aston Martin and Stirling Moss in the final round at Goodwood. For 1960, the Testa Rossa was revised with independent rear suspension and taller windscreens to meet the FIA’s new rules. A crushing performance at Le Mans, capturing all but one of the top seven places, ensured Maranello reclaimed the Sportscar crown. Driven by all the top pilots of the day, including Phil Hill, Olivier Gendebien, Dan Gurney, the Rodriguez brothers and Von Trips, the TR59/60s remain one of the most beautiful, successful and significant Ferraris of all. The original history of serial number ‘5005’ is quite intriguing. The Ferrari started life as a 330 America, an interim model based on the 250 GTE with the larger 4-litre V12 engine, one of just 50 made before the new 330 GT 2+2 was launched in 1964. Delivered into the United States through Luigi Chinetti, the Ferrari was reputedly raced in SCCA events by Truitt Helmsman and wound up crashed. Many years later the Ferrari was transformed into a recreation of the 1959/60 250 Testa Rossa by Norwood Autocraft of Texas. Better known for his race cars, Bob Norwood also built high quality Ferrari replicas, including four TR59s in 1981, using original Ferrari parts. In 1985 he turned out a small number of 330 P4 replicas and followed up with a 288 GTO that ran 267 mph at Bonneville, setting the record for the fastest Ferrari in the world. >>>

>>> This particular car was commissioned by well known Texas collector John Ridings Lee and featured accurate alloy bodywork made by a Kiwi, Robin Officer. The Ferrari factory apparently supplied drawings to provide a pattern for the body and it closely mimics Fantuzzi’s glorious lines. Great attention was paid to getting the details right, with a six carburetor manifold set-up copied from one in the famous Violati collection in Italy to ensure the V12 looked just right. The instruments include a proper 10,000 rpm competition tacho. Ridings Lee used the car at numerous Ferrari Club America events and won multiple awards over the years, having it maintained by Bob Smith, one of America’s best Ferrari mechanics. Later part of the Gene Ponder collection in Marshall, Texas the car eventually found its way to Australia and is now in fantastic condition after some recent fettling. The four-litre engine, topped by six Webers, has loads of torque, making the TR59/60 an amazing thing to drive. With the recent sale at the Maranello auction of an original pontoon-fendered Testa Rossa for a price in excess of $15 million (the original ex-works TR59/60 cars are worth even more), this car offers all the sights and sounds of the real thing at a fraction of the price. Sold with registration number NSW TR 1959 (Expires 12.2009) if sold to a NSW based buyer.

1949 HRG 1500cc 4-Seat Roadster
lot 1 42
Founded by Edward Halford, Guy Robins and Henry Ronald Godfrey, whose surname initals together made up the name, HRG was founded in 1936 and the earliest cars utilised 1.5 litre Meadows 4ED engines. Based in Tolworth, Surrey, the HRG carved out a solid niche building high quality sports cars in a similar vein to Frazer Nash and enjoyed some good success on the race track, the works car finishing tenth at Le Mans in 1938 with the Hon. Peter Clark and Marcus Chambers sharing the driving. In 1939, HRG switched to Singer engines and offered both 1100 and 1500cc models, the latter becoming the biggest seller, with 111 built by the time production ceased in 1956. HRG actually modified the overhead-camshaft Singer motor using a revised cylinder head and twin SU carburetors to increase power to a very healthy 61 bhp. The HRG was an expensive car in its day, costing almost twice the price of the contemporary MG T-series, but offered a hand-made quality and equipment levels comparable with more luxurious marques. Post-war, HRG came up with the fully enclosed Aerodynamic but the square-rigger bodies appealed more to traditionalists and were available until production ceased in 1955. Built on the 14th of April, 1949 this HRG was sold new by Brown and Dureau of Collins St, Melbourne, who commissioned a one-off four-seat body said to have been built by Gordon Stewart of Sydney and is believed to be the only four-seat HRG ever made. One of only 251 HRGs constructed in the period 1935-1955, W185 was reputedly rallied by Doug Whiteford and Reg Nutt for Brown & Dureau. The first private owner was John P.Ward of Toorak, Victoria who bought the car in 1952 and it subsequently changed hands several times. One owner, Archie Johnson Jnr., even raced the HRG in the Moomba Tourist Trophy at Albert Park on March 26, 1955. The following year the car passed to the late David Eggleton and was kept by him for the next five decades, laid-up since the early 1960s and largely forgotten. Eggleton eventually began restoring the HRG and it spent the last few years on display in the National Automobile of Tasmania in Launceston. >>>

1971 Ford Escort Mexico
lot 1 43
Ford s Mark 1 Escort is undoubtedly one of the greatest rally cars of all time. The Ford works team was practically unbeatable in the late 1960s / early 1970s, and the Escort s greatest victory was arguably the 1970 London to Mexico Rally with Finnish legend Hannu Mikkola at the wheel that gave rise to the famous Escort Mexico road version. Both the Mexico and RS1600 were built at Ford s Advanced Vehicle Operations AVO facility located at the Aveley Plant in South Essex. As well as higher performance engines and sports suspension, these models featured strengthened bodyshells making them an ideal model for rallying. This Escort Mexico has a very interesting history, being one of the cars supplied by Ford to the Brands Hatch Racing School. Shell Sport sponsored a series of celebrity races, the highlight being the 1971 Trophy Race at Brands Hatch for Formula One Team Managers and former drivers, the latter all racing legends. Apparently, for the big race all the keys were put in a hat and drivers given a number in order to determine who got what car. The Escorts were later returned to Ford and some sold, others given to journalists or rising stars. Discovered in a sorry state in the early Eighties by a 17 year old rally fan, this car was slowly rebuilt over time. Sometime ago, through the original registration number that was on the car it was discovered that the Escort had a famous past and carried the identity of Jack Brabham s winning car from the 1971 Race of Champions and the owner then restored the Escort back to correct RoC specification. The owner informs us he needed many new parts and interior trim items, finding many new old stock items as well as the correct 3 spoke RS Steering wheel and period sports seats.

1955 Bentley ‘S’ Type Standard Steel Saloon
lot 1 44
The Bentley ‘S’ Type was launched in 1955 with an entirely new box-section chassis and beautifully proportioned styling by John Blatchley. Identical to the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud apart from the traditional Bentley radiator and badges, both were powered by the silky smooth six-cylinder engine, featuring a new light alloy cylinder head. Another major improvement was the adoption of hydraulic brakes. Inside, the Bentley was superbly appointed, using only the finest quality hides and timbers, all hand-made to the highest of standards. With almost 4.9 litres, twin SU carburetors and a 6.6:1 compression ratio mated to the standard four-speed automatic transmission, the Bentley was recorded a top speed of 103 mph on test. The Autocar had this to say; “The latest Bentley offers a degree of safety, comfort and performance that is beyond the experience and perhaps even the imagination of the majority of the world’s motorists”.
COLOUR Black
All but a small number of the 3,107 Bentley ‘S’ Types produced wore Blatchley’s Standard Steel coachwork, with a few made by outside coachbuilders and a small number of Continentals. It’s worth noting that Bentley built approximately one-third more ‘S’ Types than Rolls-Royce did of the Silver Cloud, illustrating the high regard people had for the Winged ‘B’ at the time. Finished in black with the original grey leather upholstery, this Bentley S1 was originally delivered to Ernest Hillier of Vaucluse, New South Wales in June 1955 and was sold through York Motors (the car still has their plate on the firewall). Ernest Hillier left England and moved to San Francisco in the early 1900s to learn the confectionary trade but an untimely earthquake saw him set up shop in Pitt Street, Sydney. Hillier’s became Australia’s first chocolatier with the establishment of his business in 1914, moved to Melbourne in 1934 and ultimately became an Australian confectionary institution. Ernest Hillier’s still thrives today, adding another famous Australian name, Newman’s, to the empire in 2000.
ENGINE CAPACITY 4887cc 6 Cylinder
Life as a successful chocolatier had its rewards and a brand new Bentley was clearly just one of the many finer things in life Ernest Hillier enjoyed. Remarkably, the Bentley stayed with the family until very recently, spending its later life in the Southern Highlands. Major work carried out in recent years included overhauling the front suspension in 1999 and the brake system was done in 2004 (at a cost of just under $8,000). Fitted with an original push button radio, the car comes with an original handbook, operating instructions for the HMV radio, spare keys and a history file.
