The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering is once again pleased to welcome Mr. Richard Charlesworth MVO from Cheshire, England as Master of Ceremonies for this year’s event.
26 The Tradition Continues 28
28 Picture Perfect Josh Nelson got really serious about photography in the summer of 2018, one year after taking a photography class during which he says he “learned how to actually use my camera rather than just leaving it in auto mode.” Now he has shot the cover for this year’s The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering magazine, marking a rapid evolution in his career.
30 Bentley’s First Hundred Years
30
Expansive ideas are rarely summed up in a single line. But W.O. Bentley’s mission to build “a fast car, a good car, the best in its class” is an ethos so succinct that it manages to distill a century of unparalleled engineering, design, and quality into a few understated words.
36 A Technological Masterpiece
Power, pace and peerless quality, the legendary McLaren F1 is a technological masterpiece. The fastest production car of its time. The finest sports car of its generation. For many, the greatest supercar ever built.
40 A Shared Passion
36
An automotive museum and a prestigious car show have a great deal in common. They are both places where enthusiasts gather to admire the objects of their technical and aesthetic admiration. They are both places where enthusiasts can take away lessons from the past even as they derive inspiration for the future. And they are both places where dreamers can let their imaginations soar. And while they most often provide a combination of all of these intangibles, they do so in strikingly different ways and leave the public with strikingly different experiences.
46 Cars As Art
46 14
Michael Furman lights cars as portrait photographers would light a person. In his words: “The photograph of the side of a car can be very sensual. The light hugs the curves and length much like a female nude. When moving on to the front of the car, the comparison to a person’s face is quite natural with the headlights representing eyes and the grille a mouth.”
An icon in a world of icons. Fashions, trends, styles. They come—and go and are often short-lived. The 911 is a sports car icon that has lost none of its fascination with time. Since 1963, we have worked every day to further perfect the ‘911’. And we’ve never been closer to reaching this goal. The new Porsche 911 is the sum of its predecessors—and is therefore a reflection of the past and a vision of the future.

54 Rallying Point
Quail Lodge & Golf Club has indisputably established itself as the premiere destination for classic rallies. Sean Lorentzen explains why.
60 Low Dollar, High Smileage
54
Over the decades Monterey Car Week has become a singularly unique and increasingly supercilious spectacle. Auction companies report the newest record sale figures as selfcongratulatory millionaires and billionaires hand out trophies to each other for their latest checkbook sourced restoration and those seeking Internet fame try to outdo each other with the latest super car paint job trend or severity of traffic code violation. Nearly lost in the cacophony of flat plane crank straight pipe rev offs and multi-million dollar sales is a sense of fun and inclusion. Fortunately, Dick McClure serves as a reminder that cars are just a conduit to meeting people and having fun.
66 An Alpha Alfa An iconic Alfa Romeo won The Peninsula Classics Best of the Best Award after being named “Best of Show” at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
72 Precision Crafted Performance Realized 66
The pinnacle levels of engineering, performance and technology infused into today’s Acura products stem from the performance origins of the brand, which launched more than 30 years ago. The Acura ethos of high-function substance and the styling form that portrays it are encapsulated in the marque’s Precision Crafted Performance brand direction statement.
76 The Audi RS 5 Sportback: Opening New Doors To Performance
There are accepted conventions of how a sports car should be configured, with coupes and roadsters being the most traditional. Then there’s the Audi way of looking at it. As a manufacturer with a history of leaving convention behind, it’s no surprise that the Audi RS 5 Sportback occupies a place that its competitors don’t.

78 Bonhams’ Bentley Bonanza Bonhams is the auction house most associated with the iconic English marque Bentley, and holds the world record for the most valuable Bentley ever publicly sold – Ralph Stanley “Tim” Birkin’s original Bentley Blower No. 1. At their summer Quail Lodge Auction, held during the world-famous Monterey Car Week in concert with The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, Bonhams will offer some very special Bentley models.
80 Genesis: The Luxury of Time 78
Genesis delivers the highest standards of performance, design and innovation. In the last year alone, it was named highest-ranked automotive brand for quality and owner satisfaction from industry experts such as J.D. Power, AutoPacific and Strategic Vision. All Genesis vehicles are covered by an industry-leading warranty with enhanced roadside assistance and concierge services.
82 Lamborghini: Destined To Win, From The Beginning
80 16
For automobile enthusiasts, the founding of Automobili Lamborghini in 1963 is a well-known story about a successful Italian industrialist with a mechanical knack and a passion for fast cars. Ferruccio Lamborghini owned the best of them and found that each one inspired him to make a better one. Famously quoted, he once said, “I want to make a GT car without faults. Not a technical bomb. Very normal. Very conventional. But a perfect car.”
It’s had its fifteen minutes for generations. Since 1963, the Porsche 911 has been an automotive celebrity. An object of lust and desire for drivers of all ages. A sports car as famous for its looks as its speed as its handling as its sound. Generation eight of the world’s most iconic sports car.

84 A Different Path To Performance: The 2020 Lexus RC F Track Edition
84
Lexus has a legacy that emanated from a place of refinement and craftsmanship. But just because the brand took on the world of luxury first doesn’t mean it can’t disrupt the world of performance as well.
86 The Lotus Evija: Setting New Standards In The World of Hypercars
The Lotus Evija marks the start of an exciting new chapter in the storied history of an iconic and much-loved British sports car brand. As the first major new model launch under the ownership of Geely, the world’s fastest growing automotive group, its significance cannot be underestimated.
90 The Pulsing Heart of Porsche 86
Porsche is well-known for its sports cars with an engineering focus and day-to-day usability, and the marque’s display at The Quail this year does not disappoint.
94 Singer at 10 Singer is 10 years old this year. However, genesis for the company lies a little further back. In 2002, founder and creative director Rob Dickinson hot-rodded his Bahama Yellow 1969 Porsche 911 E and then used the car as a daily driver around the LA area.

Richard Charlesworth
MASTER OF CEREMONIES
N
ow in its seventeenth year, The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering is pleased to again welcome Mr. Richard Charlesworth MVO from Cheshire, England as Master of Ceremonies for this year’s event. Richard is no stranger to Quail Lodge & Golf Club and The Quail, having acted as Master of Ceremonies at The Quail for over a decade, and has many years of experience working with fine and rare automobiles. Now retired and acting as an Automotive Consultant, he had worked in Crewe, the home of Bentley Motors, for over 40 years. In his long career at the esteemed British carmaker, Richard held a number of senior positions, finishing as Brand Ambassador. Over the years, he has fostered strong links between the company and its heritage and tradition, having overseen the acquisition and use of the company’s collection of significant Bentleys representing its now 100-year history. As his time with Bentley drew to a close, he was able to take on a number of roles. He was invited to join the board of Classic Motor Cars Ltd of Bridgnorth, England as a non-executive. They will possibly be best known in the United States as the first winners of the highly prestigious Restoration of the Year award at the
24
Historic Motoring Awards in 2011 for their restoration of the Lindner-Nöcker Lightweight E-Type Jaguar. They won the award for the 2nd time in 2017, for the restoration of the unique Pininfarina-bodied 1954 Jaguar XK120 SE. No other restoration company has achieved this recognition. Richard is also Car Curator and Master of Ceremonies for the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace, which shares ‘Best of the Best’ status with The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering. Also, as of September 2 this year, Richard will become Master of the Worshipful Company of Coachmakers and Coach Harness Makers of London, one of the ancient ‘Livery’ Companies of the City of London, given its Royal Charter by King Charles II in 1677. Richard Charlesworth’s affinity with, and respect for classic cars means he is very well suited to guide us through the day’s events at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. We are certain you will enjoy his rich, British accent, his appreciation for the cars on display and his warmth and camaraderie on the microphone. Please join us in welcoming again Richard Charlesworth to The Quail.

With a homicide rate that far exceeds those of much larger cities, Salinas has become the epicenter of some of the worst gang violence in the nation. Rancho Cielo combats this violence with opportunity -- through education and job training. Lowincome youth who demonstrate a commitment to improving their lives are accepted into Rancho Cielo and may pursue training in Culinary Arts or Construction. Culinary Students spend half their time in the classroom earning high school diplomas, and the other half in a commercial kitchen learning how to cook. The Construction students just finished building on-campus housing, and now they are focused on solar panel installations and “tiny home” construction. This Fall, Rancho Cielo will open a new building, called the Ted Taylor Vocational Center. This center will allow Rancho Cielo to almost double its current student enrollment, and it will offer training in support of Monterey County's largest industry, agriculture. The four wings of the structure will include: automotive and tractor repair, metal fabrication and welding, irrigation, and water solutions, agricultural value-added services, refrigeration and food safety, and sustainable agriculture and construction solutions. Located on a 100-acre ranch in the foothills of Salinas, California, the Rancho Cielo Youth Campus is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose vision is to transform the lives of underserved youth and empower them to become accountable, competent, productive and responsible citizens. Campus tours are offered year-round. For more information, please call 831-444-3533 or visit: www.ranchocieloyc.org. For dinner and event inquiries, please contact Laura Nicola at lnicola@ranchocieloyc.org or 831-444-3521.

PICTURE Perfect
I
TEXT: JOSH NELSON
’ve always had a passion for mechanical things. As early as I remember, I loved trains, trucks, cars, and pretty much anything that moved. However, my passion for cars was what prevailed over all of these fascinating machines, and I recall liking them more because they simply went fast. A lot of things contributed to this, things like the original Cars movie, and spending hours on end playing car-based video games for a lot longer than I’d like to admit, but it attributed to a love that I am thankful to have today. I picked up a camera for the first time at a local weekly event called South OC Cars and Coffee event in early 2015, and since then I haven’t been to any car related event without taking photos of some of the finest automobiles in Southern California. I became really serious about my photography in the summer of 2018, where in the school year prior to that I took a photography class where I learned a lot about post-production and how to actually use my camera rather than just leaving it in auto mode. In that timeframe; from then until now, I have been fortunate enough to have met a lot of people in the automotive community, from exotic car owners who have what seems like garages containing every car under the sun, to some extremely talented photographers who I am glad to call my friends. Now, here I am shooting for the cover of The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering magazine, it’s a real honor, as it has been a dream of mine to even attend the event, let alone be the photographer who creates the image on the cover of the magazine for this prestigious show. This is truly a dream come true.

BENTLEY’S First Hundred Years TEXT: JACK CORNELIUS

Expansive
ideas are rarely summed up in a single line. But W.O. Bentley’s mission to
build “a fast car, a good car, the best in its class� is an ethos so succinct that it manages to distill a century of unparalleled engineering, design, and quality into a few understated words. 31
6.5 litre Woolf Barnatos own Speed 6 with chauffer, Cyril de Heune
B
entley Motors was founded in 1919 by Walter Owen Bentley. “W.O.”, as he was commonly called, was an engineer and racer whose innovative work on aluminum pistons for aircraft engines inspired him to expand into the business of building cars. With an eye for the exceptional, W.O. opened a small facility in London’s Cricklewood area that produced automobiles to compete against the world’s finest luxury vehicles. However, the challenges he faced were considerable. “To design and build a new motor car in 1919 without substantial capital”, W.O. later ref lected in his autobiography, “was like being cast on to a desert island with a penknife and orders to build a house.” Despite the headwinds, W.O. persisted until his namesake struck gold through the alchemy of two converging forces: larger-than-life-personalities and the high stakes world of endurance racing. The marque’s audacious entry into motorsports came when a privately run Bentley debuted at the 24 Hours of Le Mans just two years after its initial prototype was completed, finishing in a remarkable second place. But when financier and racer Woolf “Babe” Barnato enlisted a beguiling crew of factory race drivers that would later become known as “The Bentley Boys”, a legend was born. These worldly bon vivants combined speed and charisma to shocking effect. The Bentley Boys burst onto the scene and, before long, dominated Le Mans by claiming an unprecedented five victories in just eight years. The brand also became the first British manufacturer to post an entry in the Mille Miglia,
32
though it didn’t compete in 1930 as planned – an anomaly that eventually came full circle nearly a century later. Not only did racing improve the breed by spurring the development of roadgoing machines like the formidable “Blower” models, it thrust Bentley onto the world stage and forged a unique character that combined grit and glamour. That winning combination bolstered the substance of the marque’s already singular character, enabling the bloodlines of road cars to become imbued with the spirit and strength of its race cars. Bentley became the favored marque of royalty and rock stars alike, sporting everyone from Keith Richards to Queen Elizabeth II with a definitively British sense of rakish style and understated elegance. While the Mulliner division has roots dating back to the construction of the opulent horse-drawn carriages of the 16th century, Bentley has elaborated its repertoire into new and inventive directions. Mulliner creates custom coachwork for customers who desire bespoke personalization and details beyond Bentley’s traditional pallete, producing specialized work that pushes the envelopes of craftsmanship, artistry, and engineering. As consumer requests have evolved over the years, so has Mulliner’s ability to build imaginative accessories like biometric security stowage, novel timepieces, and enclosures for angling, hunting, and picnics. The future of Mulliner will continue to adapt to the introduction of new technologies, while adhering to the traditional handcrafting techniques that have earned it a legendary reputation.

Continental GT and GT3
The Bentley brand has covered considerable ground since EXP 2, the automaker’s second car built and the first to win a race. The EXP prefix has been used on every pre-production model since, with prototypes heralding quantum leaps in function, form, and performance. One of the greatest shifts in Bentley’s modern history came with the re-introduction of the Continental GT in 2003. While the 12-cylinder grand tourer tipped a hat to the brand’s mid-century past, it took an even bolder step into the future. The hide and veneer-lined steed redefined everything a Bentley could be, leading the charge for a new era in which the entire model lineup was invigorated with a combination of traditional craftsmanship and forwardthinking innovation. Bentley’s bandwidth further expanded with the introduction of the Bentayga in 2016. Bentayga transcends conventional metrics like interior volume or cargo capacity; it earned the title of the world’s fastest SUV while managing to maintain exceptional off-road capability. Expanding on Bentayga’s platform are the V8 and Hybrid models which deliver signature Bentley opulence and performance while offering surprising efficiency.
This year in the Americas, an all-new Continental GT has been launched that incorporates an even more refined union of workmanship and technology, opening yet another chapter in the model that has helped redefine the leading edge of the Bentley brand. The Flying Spur was Bentley’s first 200 mph four-door, and the new third generation will offer a more driver-focused saloon experience than ever, reinforcing its status as a dynamic grand tourer. Significant gains in power and handling are complemented by its plush, hushed long distance comfort. The Mulsanne remains the range-topping model with its unparalleled craftsmanship and exquisite detail. The 2019 Mille Miglia rally marked another remarkable milestone in the 100-year history of Bentley Motors. On the anniversary of Woolf Barnato and Sir Henry “Tim” Birkin’s aborted run 89 years ago, two original 1930 supercharged Blowers completed the rally. Rounding out the brand’s presence was a Bentayga, which was used as a chase vehicle. The venture marked Bentley’s historic return to form, complete with a symbolic pursuit of past and future that promises the next century’s accomplishments will be even more exceptional than the last.

TECHNOLOGICAL Masterpiece

a technological masterpiece. The fastest production car of its time. The finest sports car of its generation. For many, the greatest supercar ever built.

eptember 11, 1988. The F1 race season was more than halfway completed, and McLaren was well on its way to dominance with its MP4/4 race car, going on to win 15 of the 16 races that season with drivers Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost. While waiting for a flight after the Italian Grand Prix, four McLaren luminaries discussed the company’s future. McLaren had already pioneered the use of carbon fiber in the world of racing, and had been designing and building cars without comprise for the track. It was time to take it to the road. Originally a concept conceived by Gordon Murray, it was decided by F1 boss, Ron Dennis, that if McLaren were to proceed, it would need to build the finest car ever developed for the road. “The more we discussed it, the more it appealed to me. One thing was certain, if McLaren was going to build a sports car, it would not only be the finest sports car the world had ever seen, but also the finest sports car the world was ever going to see,” said Murray.
37
38
ENGINEERED TO PERFECTION: It took four years to meticulously plan, design and build the all-conquering F1. The F1 is legendary for many of its extraordinary features – the 3-seat configuration, the use of gold foil in the engine bay, the pioneering use of a carbon fiber frame in a road-going car, and a built-in 14.4k modem for sending diagnostic information to the factory, back when Internet was not a household commodity. At the same time, the F1 is considered by many to be the last great analog car ever built – featuring a naturally aspirated 618-hp BMW V12 engine and a six-speed manual gearbox, chosen for increased reliability and driver control. Beautifully engineered and exceptionally quick, the F1 broke numerous world records during the 1990s, and it remains the fastest naturally aspirated road car ever built – hitting 240.1mph. THE F1 GOES RACING: Though Murray never intended to take the car racing, customer demand prompted the creation of the F1 GTR. At the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995, the F1 GTR achieved a feat no other debutante manufacturer had ever managed: McLaren not only won the race, but it also dominated the podium,
occupying four of the top five places. In the span of 24 magical hours, the greatest supercar of its generation became the most successful British race car of modern times. To mark the F1 GTR’s historic win in what is widely regarded as the world’s greatest motor race, five road going editions inspired by the winning race car were produced. Lighter and more powerful than the standard F1, and with a distinctive carbon fiber wing and splitter, the McLaren F1 LM is the fastest accelerating and most sought-after variant of the iconic McLaren F1. After the sensationally quick F1 LM, McLaren built the final iteration of the F1, the 'Longtail'. Known as the ‘Longtail’ because of the longer front and rear overhangs, the car also has a distinctive air intake and large rear spoiler that distinguishes it from other F1s. With a higher specification interior and slightly higher gearing, the F1 GT is the final chapter in the history of one of the world’s greatest ever road cars. Just three examples were built, satisfying FIA homologation rules to make a race car version possible. Only 106 total cars were made in a limited production run, making the McLaren F1 one of the most exclusive cars in the world today. The greatest supercar ever built? Indeed.

The Petersen Automotive Museum and The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering:
A SHARED PASSION
TEXT: LESLIE KENDALL

A
n automotive museum and a prestigious car show have a great deal in common. They are both places where enthusiasts gather to admire the objects of their technical and aesthetic admiration. They are both places where enthusiasts can take away lessons from the past even as they derive inspiration for the future. And they are both places where dreamers can let their imaginations soar. And while they most often provide a combination of all of these intangibles, they do so in strikingly different ways and leave the public with strikingly different experiences. Temporary and ephemeral, prestigious car shows are movable feasts of automotive confections spread out like a Sunday brunch buffet at a yacht club. Attendees at such events are invited to stroll by and partake visually of whatever captures their attention, “consuming� as much as they desire. And while attendees at other, less formal events share the same enthusiasm for the vehicles they have gathered to celebrate, those at gatherings such as The Quail have a different approach to
enjoyment that is augmented by their desire to transcend the ordinary. And like with the traditional car shows of the classic era, attendees manifest their exuberance vividly with their choice of apparel. In dire contrast to a prestigious car show, a museum is a permanent entity with an enduring, explicit mandate to collect, preserve, and interpret in a way that has more to do with a time and place in history than with the tastes and preferences of a single collector or panel of experts. Yet even among museums, those that pursue automotive history stand alone. Whereas most other cultural artifacts like impressionist paintings and Art Deco sculptures can be enjoyed simply by being viewed, automobiles have a functional dimension that can only be understood when they are operated. To do so responsibly, automobile museums regularly seize the opportunity to participate in concours around the world where their vehicles can be driven in controlled environments in the company of individuals with a manifest respect for their place in history.
43
The partnership between The Quail and the Petersen Automotive Museum is an outgrowth of such a shared approach to automobile connoisseurship and a desire to meet the appropriately high expectations of participants and visitors. It is a symbiotic relationship that formed naturally over the course of a few short years and now resonates with aficionados from all walks of life. And as expanding public tastes have prompted the Petersen Automotive Museum to explore roadgoing history beyond traditional boundaries, The Quail has also embraced present day public tastes by welcoming categories of vehicles often shunned at more traditional gatherings.
44
Today a philosophy of inclusiveness prevails at many high profile automotive museums and at important gatherings such as The Quail. And the Petersen Automotive Museum is delighted once again to collaborate with The Quail, which has embraced the ideals of inclusiveness this year by presenting an important grouping of vehicles relating to Hollywood history, both those that appeared on camera and those that were used by the celebrities themselves in their daily lives. Such a fresh approach is destined to inspire organizers of other events to expand their reach into the community and reawaken our excitement for motoring that, whether we realize it or not, is shared by virtually everyone.

or a classic car or motorcycle enthusiast, there’s perhaps no more complete or satisfying experience than a rally. The experience of driving along scenic open roads, alongside good friends and legendary machinery with unique stops along the way captures the classic motoring experience in a single package in a way that few other events can. These events have been steadily gaining in popularity over recent years, and nowadays streaming groups of classic machines are becoming a more common sight on the roads of Monterey, California. Quail Lodge & Golf Club has been a magnet for automotive and motorcycle enthusiasts since the first running of The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering in 2003, and as that world-famous celebration has grown so has Quail lodge’s involvement in classic rallying. In 2019, Quail Lodge & Golf Club acts as “home base” for seven world-class rallying events catering to enthusiasts from around the globe. These events include The Quail Rally, The Quail Ride, Quail in Pink Drive for a Cause, Rally Nippon California, the California Mille, the Spring Colors Motoring Tour and unique purchasable Quail Lodge Guest Rallies. The Quail Rally and The Quail Ride are both hosted and coordinated by the Quail Lodge & Golf Club’s very own Peninsula Signature Events team. These evocative events have earned a reputation as the highlights for the property’s flagship events, The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering and The Quail Motorcycle Gathering, respectively. These exclusive invitational events take drivers and riders through some of California’s most beautiful landscapes, from the rolling hills of Monterey wine country, to the dramatic vistas of the Pacific Coast and even the challenging corners of WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. These unique events begin and end at Quail Lodge, and support a number of Monterey County charities. For those looking to blaze their own trail, Quail Lodge hosts a series of four Moto Rally Experiences. These unique, all-inclusive experiences allow guests at Quail Lodge to arrive and drive in classic style, while traversing some of central and Northern California’s greatest driving roads and most beautiful destinations. Classic vehicles are even available to rent for the drives. The four available experiences are The Scenic Route, a
62
148-mile tour north and west of Quail lodge including two tastings at Carmel Valley’s finest vineyards; The Coastal Motoring Adventure, taking guests south along Pacific Coast Highway to the iconic vistas of Big Sur; ther Cruise Control California Tour, leading adventurous drivers north through dynamic driving roads to the world-famous Canepa Motorsports Museum; and The Golden State Road Rally, sweeping east through Salinas and Carmel Valley into the heart of Central California. Quail Lodge & Golf Club is also proud to support the battle against breast cancer with its Quail in Pink annual initiative, raising funds to benefit women undergoing treatment in Monterey County. Since 2018, the initiative also includes the Quail in Pink Drive for a Cause, an exclusive 15-car rally through Pinnacles National Park with all proceeds benefitting Breast Cancer Assistance Group of Monterey County. Outside of Quail Lodge’s own events, it manages and plays host to a variety of rallying groups from around the world. Starting in 2018, the lodge acted as home base for Rally Nippon California, a gathering of some of Japan’s premier car collectors driving across the globe. The route for 2018 took these participants from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco along the California Coast to the beautiful lawns of Quail Lodge. The legendary California Mille will also be turning to Quail Lodge as the destination for their 1,000-mile rally in 2020. Quail Lodge will support the goal of bringing the spirit of the Italian Mille Miglia to life with participants’ stellar examples of sports and racing cars from 1924-1957, the original years of the Mille Miglia. Lastly, the Spring Colors Motoring Tour has used this scenic locale as a destination for its seasonal exploration of California’s natural beauty. As classic rallying has grown in popularity, Quail Lodge & Golf Club has been constantly striving to offer the gold standard in rally services, hosting and coordination for these events. With the trend showing no signs of stopping, the team at Quail Lodge continues to improve in this expanding field, ensuring that this luxurious locale remains the hub for all those with a love for classic motoring.

O
ver the decades Monterey Car Week has become a singularly unique and increasingly supercilious spectacle. Auction companies report the newest record sale figures as self-congratulatory millionaires and billionaires hand out trophies to each other for their latest checkbook sourced restoration and those seeking Internet fame try to outdo each other with the latest super car paint job trend or severity of traffic code violation. Nearly lost in the cacophony of flat plane crank straight pipe rev offs and multimillion-dollar sales is a sense of fun and inclusion. Fortunately, Dick McClure serves as a reminder that cars are just a conduit to meeting people and having fun. A chance meeting with California Mille founder Martin Swig led to McClure registering and completing the tour in a rather tatty 1952 Jaguar 120 Fixed Head Coupe that he fettled himself in his garage. The creaking Jag ended up drawing more attention and eliciting more conversation than the high dollar classics in attendance. From there on the die was cast and Dick participated in subsequent California Mille’s with cars that while technically meeting the entry standards, were intentionally down-market price wise, in need of some mechanical attention and high on fun and nostalgia. One such car, a 1955 MG ZA Magnette, garnered an invite to the inaugural The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. While admiring the Magnette at a rally rest stop, a fellow California Mille participant took a cell phone call from The Quail co-
66
founder The Hon. Sir Michael Kadoorie. Sir Michael related that he had learned to drive in a Magnette and insisted on having the MG at The Quail. “I have participated in every Motorsports Gathering since then by finding a new affordable and restorable car every year. One you can be creative with and that will put a smile on people’s faces,” laughs McClure. The list has included a $300 Renault Dauphine, a 1958 MGTD that Dick drove in High School and an oval window VW Bug. “Nearly everyone has a story about owning or riding in a VW Bug when they were younger. The Hispano-Suiza or Lamborghini that were parked on either side of it that year? Not so much,” notes McClure. This year try to ignore the sound of the super car engines and listen for a bolt of hearty laughter. It will be coming from Dick McClure and the smiling spectators surrounding his Morris Minor. Jay Lamm, founder of the 24 Hours of Lemons and a frequent rally co-driver of Dick’s commented, “Any idiot with a large enough checkbook can get a professionally restored car to rally 250 miles a day or run long enough to cross the awards ramp. What Dick is doing is trying to be the reminder amidst the money, glamor, glitz and seriousness that this is really about having fun, meeting people and getting your hands on the hardware. That is really the core of the activity of owning a vintage car. No matter what event you go to, The Quail, The Concours d’Lemons or Pebble Beach, no one is having more fun than Dick McClure.”

rguably one of the most desirable cars of all time, the remarkable 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Berlinetta was revealed at The Peninsula Paris on 7 February 2019 as winner of the fourth annual The Peninsula Classics Best of the Best Award. While eight stunning ‘Best of Show’ winners from the top concours around the world competed for the accolade, the Alfa Romeo, already named ‘Best of Show’ at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, was the stand-out choice among the judges. “The winning Alfa Romeo is a perfect example of the type of car that inspired us to create this award,” said William E. (Chip) Connor, Chairman and CEO of William E Connor II, co-founder of The Peninsula Classics Best of the Best Award. “To provide an opportunity for car lovers to pause a moment and celebrate flawless design and engineering of this calibre is truly an honor each year.” The Alfa Romeo is owned by David and Ginny Sydorick of Beverly Hills, California. Passionate car collectors, the couple also owns one of two Ferraris shortlisted for the award– a 1956 Ferrari 250 GT Coupé by Zagato, which was named ‘Best of Show’ at Cavallino Classic. Reflecting on the car’s recent recognition, David said: “As an avid auto collector, having two cars in the running for this year’s award was truly remarkable. It goes without saying that Ginny and I are ecstatic at the result – a proud moment for us both.”
The winning car was unveiled using a shutter effect, whereby individual slats turned in sync to reveal the Alfa Romeo standing proudly within a bespoke designed box. Following the big reveal, guests at the party, including ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ ‘The Alienist,’ and ‘Girl on a Train’ actor Luke Evans, were further treated to a music set from notable DJ Hannah Bronfman, who was joined by husband, DJ and entrepreneur, Brendan Fallis. An automotive jewel engineered by Ingegner Vittorio Jano, the 8C 2900 was designed to compete in sports car races, specifically the Mille Miglia, which it won outright in 1935, 1936, 1937, 1938 and 1947. In racing trim, it dominated all the major competitions, and in road trim, it was the fastest grand touring car. Established in 1925 in Milan, Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring had first licensed Charles Weymann's system of fabric-covered lightweight frames and then developed its own ‘Superleggera’ construction. Patented in 1936, the Superleggera system consisted of a structural framework of small diameter steel tubes that conformed to the automobile’s body shape and were covered by thin alloy body panels that strengthened the framework. The winning vehicle, 412020, is the first of only five known Berlinettas built on the Lungo chassis and is the car that Touring refers to as the beginning of Superleggera.

Precision Crafted Performance Realized cura reasserted its Precision Crafted Performance brand heritage with the debut of the all-new, secondgeneration NSX supercar at Monterey Car Week in 2015. Since then, Acura has maintained a steady presence at this seminal gathering of automotive enthusiasts, and has showcased multiple concept and production models. These include the Acura Precision Concept, a stunning display of Acura’s next-generation design language; the ARX-05 Daytona Prototype International (DPi) race car; and the 2019 Acura NSX, featuring numerous enhancements to the design and performance of Acura’s prestigious supercar. Alongside the pinnacle NSX supercar, Acura Precision Crafted Performance is fully expressed by the new Acura RDX. The all-new RDX incorporates a bevy of next-generation Acura technologies, including a new generation of Acura Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ along with Acura’s revolutionary True Touchpad Interface™ and the amazing Acura ELS Studio 3D™ Premium Audio system. Designed and built from the ground up on an all-new body and chassis architecture, RDX goes head-to-head with the best luxury SUVs from Europe in terms of exhilarating performance, innovative technology and premium cachet. With top-of-class turbocharged performance, RDX leads Acura into a new era, and it continues to dominate as the retail best-selling model in luxury's largest segment, with record sales and critical acclaim. Signature elements of Acura’s sharp and alluring new Precision Crafted Performance design language showcased by RDX include the Acura-exclusive Diamond Pentagon Grille and striking Jewel Eye™ LED headlights that are also featured on the ILX, TLX and RLX sedans and MDX luxury sportutility vehicle.

At this year’s Monterey Car Week Acura will be debuting the 2020 NSX supercar, with an expanded color palette that includes a vibrant new yellow, Indy Yellow Pearl. With its aluminum intensive, robotically MIG-welded spaceframe, and 573-horsepower Sport Hybrid power unit with torque-vectoring AWD, the 2020 NSX features the body-color front grille garnish and high-gloss front grille surround, front air intake mesh and rear bumper outlet mesh that debuted last year, as well as the chassis upgrades, new tire design and software tuning that make NSX an even sharper-edged street and track machine. With the power and poise of NSX representing the halo of Acura’s Precision Crafted Performance, and the A-Spec variants and exclusive TLX and MDX PMC Editions showcasing the sportier styling side of Acura’s core models, the brand is poised to further strengthen its commitment to performance. For this, Acura will introduce a new, branddedicated, high-performance V6 turbo powerplant, and will bring back the much-heralded Type S performance variant. The Type S badge last appeared on the 2008 Acura TL, which featured a track-tuned chassis, more powerful engine and brakes, high-performance tires and extensive, sports-oriented exterior and interior modifications. Like the new engine, the Type S badge will make its way onto multiple Acura models in the future. “Over the last few years, step by step, the entire Acura lineup has been transformed around Precision Crafted Performance, with styling and next-generation engineering exemplified by the NSX and RDX. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg for what’s to come,” said Jon Ikeda, Acura Vice President and Brand Officer.
A Performance Brand Through and Through Racing drives Acura’s focus on performance and is a foundational element of the brand’s past and present. 2019 marks the third season of racing the NSX GT3, and the first year of competition for the upgraded NSX GT3 Evo. It’s also the second season the Acura ARX-05 Daytona Prototype has taken to the track since its debut at The Quail in 2017. Acura’s return to sportscar racing has seen multiple wins and podium finishes for the brand and Team Penske with the ARX-05, and for Meyer Shank Racing with the NSX GT3, and now the NSX GT3 Evo. Based on the production NSX and utilizing its twinturbocharged V6 powerplant, the NSX GT3 competes in both IMSA and SCCA racing series, where it has already taken multiple checkered flags, including consecutive wins on the streets of Belle Isle in Detroit in 2017 and 2018. And the new GT3 Evo version is off to a strong start for the 2019 racing season. This year also marks a new partnership between Meyer Shank Racing, Heinricher Racing and Caterpillar, featuring an all-female driver lineup led by Katherine Legge in an NSX GT3 Evo. The NSX GT3 Evo adds state-of-the-art chassis and aerodynamic improvements for a higher top speed and better handling compared to the NSX GT3. Its aluminum-intensive, multi-material space frame is constructed in Acura’s Performance
Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio, alongside the production NSX. The NSX GT3 Evo features the very latest in FIA-standard safety systems, and improvements to the turbochargers and cooling system. The NSX GT3 Evo, and the NSX GT3 before it, are certified to compete in more than a dozen FIA-sanctioned racing series globally. Since becoming available for purchase in early 2017, the NSX GT3 has found more than a dozen customers around the world. The Acura ARX-05 Daytona Prototype, campaigned by the legendary Team Penske in American Endurance Sports Car racing competition, earned a podium finish at the 2019 racing season-opening 24 Hours of Daytona, followed by two podiums at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, a strong showing for Acura’s new sponsorship of America’s most iconic street race. Then, at Mid-Ohio, Juan Pablo Montoya and Dane Cameron repeated their teammates’ previous year’s winning performance. The pair also scored their second consecutive win at the Detroit Grand Prix, with Castroneves and Taylor finishing third. The ARX-05 is engineered by Acura Motorsports in Santa Clarita, California, was styled by the Acura Design Studio in Los Angeles, and uses a version of the 3.5-liter V6 engine that powers the Acura TLX, MDX and RLX.

THE AUDI RS 5 SPORTBACK: Opening New Doors To Performance TEXT: PETER WU
T
here are accepted conventions of how a sports car should be configured, with coupes and roadsters being the most traditional. Then there’s the Audi way of looking at it. As a manufacturer with a history of leaving convention behind, it’s no surprise that the Audi RS 5 Sportback occupies a place that its competitors don’t. The Sportback concept isn’t new. The original Audi A7 introduced a sedan with the design lines of a coupe and the added versatility of lift-gate cargo access. With the second generation Audi A5 came the first Sportback model in the United States and, here now, the first Audi RS 5 Sportback. The Drive Much like the Audi R8 and RS series of vehicles, the Audi RS 5 Sportback was engineered by Audi Sport, the motorsports and high-performance road car division of Audi AG.

the drivetrain, suspension, braking and other systems, and applies decades of race-winning experience and many miles of track testing, including laps of the famed Nürburgring circuit. Like other RS series models - such as the Audi TT RS and the Audi RS 3 - the Audi RS 5 Sportback receives a healthy boost in the power department. Under the sharp design lines of the hood is a biturbo 2.9-liter TFSI® V6 engine rated at 444 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque. Instead of the single turbo that helps power the 3.0-liter TFSI® V6 in the S5 Sportback, there are two turbochargers nestled in the “V” of the engine. Placing the turbochargers in this location reduces the length that the exhaust gases have to flow in order to spin the turbochargers. The shorter exhaust pathways help the turbochargers spin quickly, and it is one of the reasons why peak torque is available from 1900 rpm to 5000 rpm. The engine’s brute force helps the Audi RS 5 Sportback accelerate from zero to 60 mph in a brisk 3.8 seconds.1
An eight-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission and quattro® all-wheel drive turns power into motion. Through the Audi drive select menu, drivers can switch between different driving modes: Dynamic, Comfort, Auto and Individual. The quattro® all-wheel drive system in the Audi RS 5 Sportback is set to provide a 40:60 torque distribution under most driving conditions, but can direct up to 70 percent of torque to the front wheels and up to 85 percent of engine power to the rear wheels when the system detects traction loss. The RS 5 Sportback also comes standard with a quattro® sport rear differential that can redistribute power between the two rear wheels for dynamic handling performance. Because of the model’s elevated capabilities, the Audi RS 5 Sportback is available with carbon ceramic front brakes. Part of the Dynamic Plus package, the ceramic front brake rotors increase in size by one inch to 14.8 inches. Lighter than steel rotors of comparable size, ceramic rotors are renowned for their ability to withstand the rigors of competition use. Taking the knowledge gained from battling on the world’s most demanding racetracks, Audi Sport suspension engineers tuned the RS sports suspension system in the Audi RS 5 Sportback to turn in with precision, provide tenacious grip on the asphalt, and maintain a firm sense of body control - all with the goal of inspiring driver confidence. An available Dynamic Ride Control system hydraulically connects the wheels diagonally and adjusts hydraulic pressure to help reduce body roll through the turns. The Audi RS 5 Sportback also sits 7 mm lower than an Audi S5 for a lower center of gravity. Interior Access to the Audi drive select menu is a short reach to the left side of the center console or through the MMI® control center in front of the gear selector. The current setting and changes made between Audi drive select modes appear in the inner circle of the rpm and speedometer gauge on the Audi virtual cockpit screen or the 8.3-inch MMI infotainment/ navigation display. Like other models in the Audi A5 model range, the interior is laid out with equal measures of logical ergonomics, premium materials and elegant design. The Audi
RS 5 Sportback interior features Audi Sport® RS Carbon inlays and embossed RS 5 insignia on the seating surfaces, and it is available with a honeycomb design stitch pattern unique to Audi Sport models. Exterior But for many, the most spell-binding shapes on the Audi RS 5 Sportback appear on the exterior. The Sportback design leads the eyes from front to rear with effortless flow, culminating in the sleek, sloping rear section that looks as though it was shaped by the wind. Like the Audi RS 5 Coupe, the fenders on the RS 5 Sportback are wider and shaped with the curvature of a flexed muscle, giving it a broad-shouldered, sports car stance. Underneath the fenders are standard 19-inch, 10-spoke-star design forged wheels and 265/35 R19 performance tires. Several available packages feature 20-inch wheel options, including the 20-inch 5-arm-peak design, milled-cut, Matte Titanium bicolor finish wheels. The 20" wheels are also equipped with 275/30 R20 performance tires, 10mm wider than the tires on the standard 19-inch wheels. Other exterior design elements that set the Audi RS 5 Sportback apart from other Audi A5/S5 Sportbacks are redesigned front and rear fascia. Featured prominently is a Singleframe® grille with honeycomb design unique to Audi Sport models and a pronounced, lower, front lip spoiler. For the rear, the lower section includes a carbon fiber diffuser and twin oval exhaust outlets. On top of the liftgate is a shapely, carbon fiber spoiler to help direct the air that flows over it. Similar to the front, vents are integrated between the taillights and the wider rear fenders. When judged in terms of style, performance and versatility a word not normally associated with high performance - the Audi RS 5 Sportback occupies a place without rivals or, simply, a class of its own. This five-door coupe proves that accepted notions of how a sports car should look are clearly outdated and that world-class performance should only be defined by how it makes you feel.

BONHAMS’

Bentley Bonanza

he track can expose a weakness before you’ve completed a lap. On the unforgiving tarmac, flaws have no place to hide. Among all the Brooklands habitués of the 1920-30s, perhaps the most glamorous and charismatic of all celebrity pilots was the diminutive Bentley-driving Baronet, Sir Henry Ralph Stanley “Tim” Birkin. Combining his “Bentley Boy” high-society image with a fearless driving talent, he was celebrated as a style icon and a national figure. Rakish, daring, impeccably mannered with appropriate lapses of playboy character, the militarilymustachioed, be-goggled figure in his neat wind cap and trademark silk polka-dot scarf fluttering in the slipstream, personified the English ideal for generations of British motoring enthusiasts. In truth, Birkin embodied far more than mere celebrity flirting with motor racing. He was intensely competitive, a born sportsman who relished racing for racing's sake, dedicated to maximizing his chances on the track, and committed wholeheartedly to making the most of whatever natural talent he possessed. And as one of motoring history’s most alluring figures, the car eternally identified with Birkin is the supercharged, or “Blower”, Bentley model. Having achieved victory in a Bentley at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1929 with co-driver Woolf Barnato, Birkin set out to create an ever better champion, convinced the secret lay in a car boosted by a supercharger. Interestingly, however, the vintage model of Bentley that is today the most iconic and sought after – the Blower – was initially totally resisted by company founder W.O. Bentley. Undeterred, “Tiger Tim” charged forward with the help of Bentley engineer Clive Gallop, supercharger specialist Amherst Villiers, and financial backing from heiress Dorothy Paget. Birkin then convinced Barnato, an investor in Bentley Motors, to persuade (or force, depending on one’s perspective) W.O. to build the mandatory 50 commercial Blower models needed in order to qualify for Le Mans. Thus one of the most fabled motorcars in British history was born. No stranger to Bentleys, Bonhams is the auction house most associated with the iconic English marque and holds the world record for the most valuable Bentley ever publicly sold – Birkin’s original Bentley Blower No. 1.
At their summer Quail Lodge Auction, held during the world-famous Monterey Car Week in concert with The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, Bonhams will offer some very special Bentley models. Taking starring roles are a 1922 3-Liter Sports Tourer – one of the oldest surviving Bentleys in the world, a desirable late model specification 1930 Speed Six Le Mans Replica Tourer, and la pièce de résistance – a 1931 4½-Liter Supercharged Birkin Le Mans Replica Tourer. This Blower is one of the hallowed 50 factory examples and was a Brooklands BARC winner in period. Over its lifetime, the rare sports-racer has been part of the highly respected private collections of the late Virgil Millett and Frederick Simeone, and represents an extremely uncommon opportunity for acquisition. Befitting its legendary stature – in motoring history, British identity, and popular culture (James Bond’s first car, as specified by author Ian Fleming, was a 4½-Liter Bentley with Amherst Villiers supercharger) – the Bentley 4½-Liter Blower model is truly a star in the automotive pantheon. Better still, as this summer marks Bentley’s 100th anniversary, there is no better make or model more appropriate to celebrate. For those with more continental tastes, the Bentleys will be accompanied by an impressive assembly of post-war automobiles, including an incredibly rare brace of Italian 8Vs – a 1953 FIAT Supersonic with coachwork by Ghia that was owned by American motorsport legend Briggs Cunningham and is one of only 15 ever built, and a one-off, bespoke-designed 1952 SIATA Berlinetta with coachwork by Bertone that was the Paris and New York Auto Shows car.

OFFICIAL CARRIER OF:
Lamborghini Huracรกn EVO
LAMBORGHINI: 84
Destined To Win, From The Beginning
Lamborghini GTD-class victory at the 56th edition of 24 Hours of Daytona with Huracán GT3 Evo
Stefano Domenicali, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Automobili Lamborghini
or automobile enthusiasts, the founding of Automobili Lamborghini in 1963 is a well-known story about a successful Italian industrialist with a mechanical knack and a passion for fast cars. Ferruccio Lamborghini owned the best of them and found that each one inspired him to make a better one. Famously quoted, he once said, “I want to make a GT car without faults. Not a technical bomb. Very normal. Very conventional. But a perfect car.” Not so well known is that the founder’s vision was realized in record time - building a state-of-the-art factory on a vacant site within a year while simultaneously developing the most remarkable engine of its day - a four-cam V-12 so perfect that it became the heart of almost every Lamborghini, well into the 21st century. If the first production Lamborghini - the 1964 350 GTcreated a sensation, the Miura, first shown in Monaco in 1966, caused a seismic shift in the sports car landscape. The V-12powered, mid-engine masterpiece cemented Lamborghini’s future, and moved the goalposts for what was possible in a road-going supercar. And if the Miura predicted the future, what followed it - the Countach - was simply the most radical production automobile the world had ever seen. It was 1974, and for Lamborghini, there was no looking back. Being a small-volume manufacturer of Italian sports cars was a challenge throughout the 1970s, but that decade and the one that followed were fertile times nonetheless, with models like the Espada, Jarama, Uracco, Silhouette and Jalpa added to the Lamborghini stable. By 1998, Lamborghini - once an upstart but by that time an international phenomenon - was acquired by the Volkswagen Group, thus assuring the future of the iconic brand. Today, Lamborghini is experiencing a moment of transition and expansion under the leadership of Stefano Domenicali - not just in its model range and its global footprint, but with a vision that puts the brand at forefront of technology and design. Here, the Lamborghini Urus breaks new ground,
but not Lamborghini tradition. Itself a true super sports car, this V-8-powered SUV combines Lamborghini performance and handling with unstoppable off-road capability. Its inspiration goes back to 1986, when Lamborghini stunned the world with the LM002. Built to be invincible, it foretold - by decades - the new chapter in Lamborghini history being written at present. For 2019, Lamborghini showcases its supremacy among supercars with the V-12-powered Aventador, a spiritual successor of the very first Miura. The Aventador SVJ, with 770 hp on tap, is the most formidable series-production Lamborghini ever made and a benchmark achievement. This year also sees the V-10-powered Huracán EVO and EVO Spyder. Each advances the definition of “super sports car,” breaking new performance ground with Lamborghini Integrated Vehicle Dynamics (LDVI), the vehicle’s electronic nerve center that manages - and anticipates - driver input to optimize driving dynamics and safety. In 2009, the Lamborghini factory established the Super Trofeo international racing series, a one-marque championship organized by Lamborghini Squadra Corse. Since 2018, drivers have had the most capable track tool - the Huracán EVO, factory modified to Super Trofeo specification - to take to the limit in three continental series in Europe, Asia and North America. This year, fans worldwide have reason to celebrate Lamborghini’s unprecedented victory in the GT3 race series, held on the world’s most challenging circuits, where Automobili Lamborghini and more than 20 customer teams competed against one another and other constructors for the title. Again, Lamborghini has emerged victorious, with back-to-back victories at Daytona 24 Hours and 12 Hours of Sebring in 2018 and 2019 - the first Italian brand to win both Daytona and Sebring two years in a row! To celebrate this historic GT3 achievement, Lamborghini created a unique limited edition Huracán EVO vehicle to honor the notable wins unveiled during Monterey Car Week.

A DIFFERENT PATH TO PERFORMANCE
The 2020 Lexus RC F Track Edition 86
L
exus has a legacy that emanated from a place of refinement and craftsmanship. But just because the brand took on the world of luxury first doesn’t mean it can’t disrupt the world of performance as well. At its core, the 2020 RC F Track Edition was designed with a level of craftsmanship that Lexus has come to be known for. But it's the carbon fiber components, V8 power and uncompromising refinement that make the Track Edition’s approach to performance different to anything else on the racetrack. New for the 2020 model year, the RC F Track Edition has benefited from aggressive styling and a slew of innovations that have reduced weight and boosted performance, without taking away from its elegance. The result is a coupe crafted for hardcore enthusiasts who enjoy turning heads as much as turning corners. Some of the most exhilarating features in the RC F Track Edition include a 5.0-liter, 472-hp1 V8 engine that remains naturally aspirated, which is not only the largest engine in its class2 - it’s the most powerful V8 in Lexus history. Titanium mufflers and tailpipes, something rarely seen on a production car, provide weight reduction and an incredible sound. Extensive use of carbon fiber in the roof, hood, partitions and rear wing (inspired by the RC F GT3 racing car) is another extraordinary addition. Brembo® 3 carbon-ceramic disc brakes,4 just like the
rotors fitted to the LFA supercar, reduce unsprung weight and resist brake fade. And finally the bespoke Michelin® Pilot® Sport 4 S tires,5 provide a more uniform contact patch for accelerating, cornering and braking. On the whole, the RC F Track Edition is as capable on the track as it is artfully detailed throughout every crafted interior feature. With a 3.96-second 0-to-60 mph time, 6 it’s not only pushing engineering and design to the extreme, it’s helping Lexus blaze a completely different path to performance.' 1. Ratings achieved using the required premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher.

THE LOTUS EVIJA: Setting New Standards
In The World of Hypercars
89

T
he Lotus Evija marks the start of an exciting new chapter in the history of an iconic and much-loved British sports car brand. As a name, Evija means ‘the first in existence’ and it’s an appropriate one. This is the first all-electric British hypercar, the first hypercar from Lotus, and the company’s first model with an electrified powertrain. The Evija has a target power output of 2,000 PS (1,972 hp) and 1,700 Nm (1,253 ft lbs) of torque. It is the most powerful production road car ever built, setting a new high standard in the global hypercar market. The mid-mounted location of the battery pack echoes the celebrated powertrain layout of many Lotus cars past and present. Satisfying a brief to be the most powerful and dynamically accomplished road car in the company’s history, the two-seater Evija represents a thrilling new high water mark for Lotus driving performance. As well as tempting the world’s hypercar buyers, the Evija will act as a halo for the rest of the Lotus range – the renowned
Elise, Exige and Evora – and will do the same for a host of eagerly anticipated new Lotus performance cars to come. The Evija also signals the beginning of the brand’s contemporary new design language. Exclusivity and desirability go hand in hand in the world of hypercars, and the Evija is blessed with plenty of both. Production is limited to not more than 130 examples – a figure set in tribute to the car’s classification as the Lotus ‘Type 130’. Lotus road and race cars throughout the brand’s 71 years of success have been assigned a Type number, and the Evija is no exception. Hethel, close to the historic city of Norwich in the east of the England, UK, has been the home of Lotus since 1966. The Evija has been designed and engineered on site, and Lotus has confirmed that production will begin there during 2020. The Evija is a bold statement of intent from Lotus, focusing the world on the brand’s ambition. There is much more to come from Lotus.

The Pulsing Heart of
PORSCHE
Porsche
is well-known for its sports cars with
an engineering focus and day-to-day usability, and the marque’s display at The Quail this year does not disappoint.
93
M
arking the end of the seventh generation of the heralded Porsche 911, the 911 Speedster combines the aspiration of a pure driver’s car with motorsports technology suitable for everyday use. Visually, the Speedster establishes a bridge to its own history – from the 356 “No. 1” Roadster of 1948 and the 356 Speedster of the 1950s, to the 911 Speedster models that followed decades later. A highrevving 4.0-liter naturally aspirated boxer engine supplies 502 horsepower through a six-speed manual transmission – the only transmission available for the 911 Speedster – to ensure driver engagement remains at the highest levels. The new 911 Speedster is on display at The Quail in both standard and Heritage Design Package versions. Created by Style Porsche and implemented by Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, the Heritage Design Package reinterprets classic elements from the 1950s and 1960s. This includes the interior color scheme in two-tone Black and Cognac leather with gold details. Special “spears” are painted on the front
94
fascia and fenders in white, in addition to the underlying GT Silver Metallic paintwork. Historic looking Motorsports decals for the doors and front lid complete the package. The Porsche crests and the gold-colored logos correspond to the designs used in the 50s and 60s. Exactly 1,948 units of this limited model will be manufactured at the Porsche factory in StuttgartZuffenhausen, Germany. Just as the 911 Speedster pays homage to classic Porsche sports cars through the end of the seventh generation 911, the new eighth generation of the icon comes to market. “California is the ideal place to introduce the new 911. It has been like a second home to Porsche for decades,” comments Oliver Blume, CEO of Porsche AG. “The 8th generation of the 911 is even more powerful, even more emotional, and even more efficient than its predecessor – and also offers extensive digital features. And in spite of all the innovations, the 911 is still just what it has always been: a pure sports car and the pulsing heart of Porsche: our icon.”
Faster, more emotional, and more connected – the eighth generation of the Porsche 911 is here. With an exterior that unmistakably reflects the Porsche design DNA, a more muscular look, and a completely new interior layout, the new 911 is both timeless and modern. The next generation of f lat-six turbocharged engines has been further developed to be more powerful than ever before, delivering 443 horsepower in the S models. Using an improved injection process, as well as a new layout for the turbochargers and intercoolers, the efficiency of the engine has been further optimized. Power is delivered by a new eight-speed, dual-clutch transmission. New assistance systems such as the standard Porsche Wet Mode for increased driver awareness on wet roads, and the optional Night Vision Assist with a thermal imaging camera, are part of the broadened array of available active driver assistance features. The new Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with a larger 10.9-inch touchscreen display (up from 7.0 inches in the previous car) and comprehensive connectivity, optional Adaptive 18-way Sport Seats Plus with improved lateral support, re-tuned PASM dampers, and extended digital features all ensure greater comfort and everyday usability.
Developed by the Porsche Motorsport department, the 2020 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 and 718 Spyder represent the most powerful and engaging variants of the 718 line-up yet created. Offering a blend of pure, unfiltered driver’s car character and track-oriented performance, both models are powered by a new 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine developing 414 horsepower and 309 lb.-ft. of torque. An entirely new sport exhaust system designed specifically for the car underscores the exciting flat-six sound of the engine, which can rev up to 8,000 rpm. Equipped with a six-speed manual transmission as standard, the 718 Cayman GT4 and 718 Spyder accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. The six-speed manual offers a function that automatically matches gearbox and engine speeds during a downshift. This feature can be individually activated or deactivated at the touch of a button. True to their Motorsport roots, the 718 Cayman GT4 and 718 Spyder share a track-bred Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) setup with adaptive dampers and adjustable suspension geometry. The GT4 is capable of a top track speed of 188 mph, while the Spyder can reach 187 mph.

The Mexico commission was Singer’s first 964 restoration, with a beautiful Singer Racing Silver exterior and red interior, boasting a 3.8-liter 6-speed Cosworth developed engine and KW suspension.
In Summer 2018, Singer Vehicle Design showcased the first results of its Dynamics and Lightweighing Study (DLS) – a partnership between Singer and Williams Advanced Engineering -- capturing the pursuit of the most advanced air-cooled 911 in the world.
S
inger is 10 years old this year. However, genesis for the company lies a little further back. In 2002, founder and creative director Rob Dickinson hot-rodded his Bahama Yellow 1969 Porsche 911 E and then used the car as a daily driver around the LA area. The reception his car got began a thought process that led, a few years later, to the founding of boutique restoration house Singer Vehicle Design in 2009. From the outset the company had a clear vision: on behalf of its clients, to pursue a personal dream for their ultimate air-cooled Porsche 911 -restored, reimagined and reborn at Singer. So, in the summer of 2009, the first restoration was seen at Monterey Car Week, fresh from what was at that period, a corner of a small workshop near Sun Valley, California. Since then Singer has never looked back. The pursuit of clients’ requirements, combined with Singer’s unique perspectives, always guided by the mantra “Everything is Important” has taken the company on an amazing journey, with operations now in the United States, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. A 3.8L, 360 hp engine, initially developed with Cosworth was joined by a 4.0L, 390 hp engine developed with Ed Pink Racing Engines. Requests for a 4-wheel-drive car led to the development of Singer’s own system. Similarly, for clients who wanted to pursue open-top motoring, Singer’s take on the Targa was established. At the same time, noted automotive journalists and publications were taking notice of Singer’s work. The insistence that aesthetic concerns and dynamic ability must be considered in parallel, in pursuit of jewel-like mechanical art, seemed to strike a chord with those who drove and saw the cars. The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering has been instrumental in enabling Singer to present its work on behalf of its clients, to an informed, enthusiastic audience, in perfect surroundings – which is why it has become a second home for the company
in California. Around four years ago, Singer embarked on its most ambitious work yet. For clients who wished to explore the ultra-high-performance potential of the Type 964 Porsche 911, on which all its restorations are performed, a formation of mighty technical partners was established. Singer, together with Willliams Advanced Engineering, Bosch, Michelin, Hewland, BBS Motorsports, Recaro, Momo, and many others, undertook what became known as the Dynamics and Lightweighting Study. Supported with consultation from mighty engineering figures Hans Mezger and Norbert Singer, and with the driving talents of Chris Harris and Marino Franchitti shaping the dynamic performance, the study would pursue the most advanced air-cooled 911 in the world. The first results of the Dynamics and Lightweighting Study made their US debut at The Quail in 2018. The first restoration in Parallax White, with Norfolk Yellow interior presented the unique 500 hp, 4.0L normally aspirated air-cooled flat six with 4-valve cylinder heads. The results of the carefully optimized aerodynamic performance, the lightweighting and mass optimization work, the driver-focused interior and bespoke engineering content was shown to a discerning US audience for the first time. This summer, as the development work enabled by the Dynamics and Lightweighting Study comes to an end, the focus switches to the restoration of no more than 75 cars for owner commissions. So, in 2019, on its 10th birthday, Singer returns to The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering to celebrate the journey so far. From those first steps with the conviction that only obsessive attention to details would be enough, through the evolution of early restorations and then the Dynamics and Lightweighting Study, and even the launch of an award-winning watch brand, Singer Reimagined, based in Geneva, the philosophy for Singer has remained the same: Everything is Important.

Celebrating the
HERITAGE of Motorsports in Monterey
The
annual classic car gatherings in Monterey are a
step back in time, where motoring enthusiasts from all over the world celebrate the style and beauty of a glorious past.
H
eld each August on California’s stunning Monterey Peninsula, the week-long classic car festival was pioneered by the Pebble Beach Concours and Road Races. After briefly showcasing new cars, from 1955 onwards the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance® focused on the heritage of the automobile and presented its top award to an “old car”, now known as a “classic”. Seeing an increasing interest in classic cars, the events shifted to concentrate entirely on collector cars and proved to be the inspiration for similar meetings globally. These events bring together the world’s most beautiful classic cars. Those attending honor the traditions of motor racing, sharing their enthusiasm for the history of the automobile while enjoying a unique combination of concours, tours, racing and auctions, as they reflect on the inventiveness and creativity of the cars’ designers and manufacturers. Each unique in its own way, the events are linked by a common theme: a relish for preserving finely crafted vehicles that are no less exceptional today than when they were created. Those that stand out are the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, and the Pebble Beach Tour d’Elegance presented by Rolex. All of these prestigious contests are supported by Rolex and, along with The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, are the high point of the Monterey Car Week. These partnerships are a natural fit, based on the brand’s long-standing association with motorsports. The ties date back to the 1930s, when Sir Malcolm Campbell broke the 300 mile per hour barrier at the wheel of his World Land Speed Record car, Bluebird, with a Rolex watch on his wrist. Rolex Testimonee Mark Webber, who will be joining this year’s festivities in Monterey, says it is important to appreciate these remarkable stories and legends of motorsports. “We all like to look forward, but it is equally important to reminisce,” says the Australian, who won nine Formula 1® Grand Prix races and the
2015 FIA World Endurance Championship. “Rolex has such an authentic relationship with these events because of its long history and its strong links to pioneering moments.” Since its initial foray in the 1930s, Rolex’s presence in the sport has grown steadily, driven by an unwavering commitment to the highest standards of performance and innovation. Whether supporting the leading motorsports series, Formula 1®, iconic endurance races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Rolex 24 At DAYTONA, or events that showcase the heritage of the sport, Rolex maintains an enduring relationship with this fastpaced world. This support also extends to the Goodwood Revival, which recalls the heyday of motor racing. These ties also include partnerships with some of the sport’s most successful drivers. In 1968, Rolex formed a close relationship with Sir Jackie Stewart, a three-time FIA Formula 1® Drivers’ World Champion (1969, 1971, 1973), and in 2010 the brand welcomed to its family of Testimonees Tom Kristensen, the record nine-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner. More recently, it partnered with German-Finn Nico Rosberg, the 2016 FIA Formula 1® Drivers’ World Champion who retired from racing and now spends his time as an ambassador for the Formula 1® community. Since its inception, Rolex has been a champion of excellence and precision, whether in its watchmaking or through sponsorship activities. Motorsports have proved an ideal partner, involving a powerful mix of accuracy, skill, endurance and elegance – exemplified by the legendary Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. Webber explains this synergy: “As a racing driver you look for consistency, reliability and innovation, and you possess a constant desire to test boundaries, which is very much aligned with how Rolex approaches the crafting of its timepieces. The brand continues to push technological know-how through its engineering, while remaining elegant and stylish. Rolex stands the test of time while being an integral part of key moments in history.”

CELEBRATING A LEGENDARY BRAND
WE WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO WELCOME YOU AT OUR BOOTH AT THE QUAIL. bugatti.com
A Tribute to The Electric Car Movement: Entrant Bios 1964 Volkswagen Zelectric Microbus
David Benardo & Bonnie Rodgers – California The Volkswagen Microbus ranks among the world's most iconic, best-loved vehicles. Born in the 1960’s where the West Coast surf culture began, this extremely rare model is the first of its kind. An original, stock bus, which was restored then upgraded to 100% electric by Zelectric Motors, it's one of only three built in 1964 with factory-original large sunroof and sliding door. Its highperformance electric drivetrain means this bus can fly onto the freeway and climb hills effortlessly. While its manual transmission offers selectable torque, shiftless driving around town is closer to automatic. Go anywhere in a Microbus and the world loves you. Strangers light up, smile and wave. But mention that it’s electric… and jaws will drop.
1949 Mercury Coupe M.C. – California This 1949 Mercury Coupe ICON Derelict has a few tricks up its sleeve. Its dual AMR oil-cooled electric motors and transmission-less design provides +475 ft-lb. torque, with no shifts all the way up to 120 mph. It contains Tesla 85kWh batteries distributed throughout the vehicle for exceptional weight balance. Estimated 150-200-mile range, 1.5-hour full recharge capability (CHAdeMO fast charger). The pioneering EV system management system, which was co-developed with Stealth EV, protects from overcharge, provides thermal management for the batteries and a host of enhanced capabilities. It also sports an Art Morrison four-wheel-independent chassis, electric P/S and A/C systems, Brembo brakes, 100% original exterior finishes and bespoke interior with a host of modern conveniences.
1969 Volkswagen Electric Buggy
Marshall MacCready – California Marshall MacCready started his project with a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle chassis and an MGM fiberglass body. Mr. MacCready worked with Playtech Racing on the chassis and EV West on the electric Drive system and together, they completed the build in two years. They used 54kWh of repurposed Tesla Lithium-Ion batteries and a 400kWh Tesla drive unit. The result is an incredibly capable and fun electric buggy with over 120-mile range and 0-60 in 4.5 seconds!
1965 Volkswagen Beetle Zelectric Sedan
Palmer & Susan Taylor – California The Honeymoon Bug: this was the ultimate wedding gift back in the 1960’s. Bride and groom took off in their shiny new Beetle to see the world. Many years and hundreds of thousands of miles later, the little Volkswagen eventually slowed down and came to rest in their driveway. Fourteen years passed, but this is a story with a temporary ending and a fresh new beginning. Restoration of this original-owner 1965 Ruby Red Bug was recently completed, along with a full Zelectric retrofit featuring a 100-mile range, Tesla batteries, and more than twice its original hp with a top speed of 100+ mph. Now reborn electric, it’s designed to be driven and happily back on the road again.

100 Years of Bentley Motors: Entrant Bios
1928 Bentley 4.5-Liter
John H. Barrett – Georgia This 1928 4.5-Liter Bentley MF3158, one of 720, was purchased new by a well-known Australian, as a 21st birthday gift for his daughter, Ursula Barr-Smith. It was fitted with a four-seat Harrison body and later rebodied as a Le Mans replica. The car currently resides in Georgia, still retaining its original engine, chassis and transmission. It is actively campaigned on 1,000-mile rallies reaching speeds of 100 mph.
1928 Bentley 4.5-Liter Tourer
Nigel & Gina Batchelor – United Kingdom Acquired in 1997, this typical family Bentley has had only two owners in the past 60 years. Painted in pre-war British Racing Green, the car is driven in all weather conditions, rallied by its husband and wife owners extensively in Europe, raced in the Le Mans Classic in France, and Benjafield’s Racing Club events in England, continuing a race history that began with the Bentley Drivers Club in the 1950’s. As a result, the car has the patina of a well-used vehicle, but remains mechanically almost perfect. When first acquired, the children used the car as a play pen, now grown up, they race alongside their father. A truly magical way of keeping a family together.
1929 Bentley 3-Liter
Richard Belveal – Arizona This well-known racecar, known as “Greenfly”, has a very interesting history. It was raced at circuits such as Brooklands, where it was driven by H.S. Wilton. Later in its life, it joined the famous Klein Collection in New York. Johnnie Green also raced the car soon after ownership and was the author of many popular Bentley books.
1990 Bentley Turbo R
Donnie Callaway – California This beautiful Turbo R was in the back of a used car lot when it caught Donnie Callaway’s attention. Non-running, but in fantastic condition, he acquired it and brought it back to its current state. It was recently featured in the Bentley and Rolls-Royce magazine in Death Valley, where he frequently drives it, without incident. He absolutely loves this Bentley!

1928 Bentley 4.5-Liter
Todd Coady – Oklahoma This 4.5-Liter Bentley was finished on August 17, 1928. By 1933, the car was owned by Scotland Yard and believed to be used by the Flying Squad. After its time with the Flying Squad, it passed through numerous owners and in the 1950's received a Vanden Plas Le Mans-style body. Todd Coady acquired the car, in 2016, and has taken the car on numerous Rallies since then.
1930 Bentley Speed Six Tourer
William E. ‘Chip’ Connor II – Hong Kong One of 182 examples produced, this Bentley Speed Six, chassis NH2740, was built on the 11-ft, 6-in wheelbase chassis and was completed on November 25, 1929. It was shipped to J. Gurney Nutting, Ltd., where it received its spectacular, open sports-tourer body. J.C. Hill of Kidderminster, United Kingdom, was its first owner. After a succession of owners, the car was sold to V. J. Beesly, the Assistant Superintendent of Police in Tripoli, Libya, where the car could regularly be seen screaming across the desert at speeds in excess of 100 mph.
1925 Bentley Speed Model, Red Label
Richard DeLuna – California Richard DeLuna’s 1925 3/4.5-Liter Speed Model was purchased and sent to New York in 1925. It had never been registered in England, so this car has always been an East Coast car and had a full restoration in 1999. It was raced extensively on the East Coast, in the early 2000’s, until it was purchased by Mr. DeLuna in 2015. The car currently has a 4.5-liter engine. Chassis #1078 has an all original frame, original engine and the original Vanden Plas aluminum body.
115
2010 Bentley Azure T Cabriolet
Joseph DeMeo – California Bentley’s Azure represents the final flowering of an era when hand-craftsmanship and emerging new technology combined to produce luxurious automobiles in the finest British tradition. The first-generation Azure, made from 1995-2003, was succeeded by a design based on the four-door Arnage platform, made from 2007 through 2010. The Azure T, produced only in 2010, with just 80 examples, was the ultimate performance version of Azure series. It featured a twin-turbocharged, 6.75-liter V8 engine developing 500 hp and a massive 738 lb-ft of torque. Acceleration of 0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds and a top speed of 179 mph were notable accomplishments for an automobile weighing more than 5,700 lbs.
1928 Bentley 4.5-Liter
Craig Ekberg – California This #pm3252 1928 Bentley 4.5-Liter Le Mans has an original numbers-matching engine, drive train and chassis. This car is a veteran of numerous rally’s, including the Colorado Grand, California Mille, West Coast Bentley Tour and Mozart Tour. World-renowned Bentley historian, Dr. Clare Hay, has documented the provenance for the car back to the original delivery in July of 1928.
1929 Bentley Speed Six
Martin Gaensler – Germany Registered in March 1929, with registration number UL 7320, this vehicle was supplied to its first owner, Mr. F.A. Simmonds in Aldershot, United Kingdom. It was delivered as an 11-ft, 6-in wheelbase W.B. Speed Six, Chassis LB 2333, Engine LB 2337. The Bentley service record ended in 1939 with 65,000 miles. In the early 1950's, the registration number was changed to EJT 805 and the car received a new open body. A picture of the car, in 1951, is shown in the "Speed Six" book by Claire Hey. In 1996, the car was completely restored by Neil Davis N.D.R. Ltd. The chassis number of the car follows next to the famous W.O. race car LB 2332. By invitation, it also participated in the 2013 Mille Miglia.
1930 Bentley 6.5-Liter Speed Six Le Mans Tourer
Dan Gernatt - New York Mr. Gernatt acquired this Bentley in the fall of 2011 from an older gentleman that could not safely drive it any longer. The prior owner had found this car in a disassembled state and the owner had given up on the project, so he purchased it as is and commissioned Elmdown Engineering, in England, to complete the restoration. AG5757 has been driven over 28,000 miles on tours in the United States, England, Belgium, France, Italy, Germany and Switzerland.

100 Years of Bentley Motors
2018 Bentley Supersports Convertible
Jeffrey M. Grossman - Pennsylvania Bentley Motors of Crewe, England, constructed 710 Supersports worldwide and only 250 for the USA market, consisting of 160 convertibles and 90 coupes. This is number 700 of the 710 constructed and as the original owner, Jeffrey Grossman specified a custom interior from the famed Mulliner Department, creating a truly bespoke one of one. The Bentley Supersports is the most powerful Bentley road car ever made in their spectacular 100-year history, with 700 hp and 750 lb-ft. of torque. It is currently the fastest four-seat automobile with a top speed of 209 mph.
1926 Bentley Speed Six
James Grundy - Pennsylvania This 1926 Bentley is a pre-war Le Mans rebody, purchased by United States Collector, Earl Snodgrass, from Arizona. James Grundy then purchased the Bentley from Ann Snodgrass several years ago. Today, it is a well-patinated, hard running, touring car.
1931 Bentley 8-Liter
Katarina Kyvalova - Germany With the help of renowned restorer Graham Moss and the advice of Michael Hay, Katarina Kyvalova started the idea of recreating Vanden Plas’s most extravagant, one-off drophead coupe body for Lord Brougham and Vaux on chassis YR5097. Brougham and Vaux was just 22 when he commissioned the car after succeeding to his title when he was 18. The car had the same specification of Mr. W.O. Bentley´s own 8-liter model with only the chassis being adjusted for a special sport, open two-seater body. The chassis was sold by Barclays to Lord Brougham in February of 1931. The body was finally developed, finished in black color and red leather, with a disappearing hood, racing speedometer and spare wheel in the boot of the gliding sledge.
2008 Bentley Azure
Enrique Landa & Alex Stolarski – California Having purchased this low-mile, 2008 Bentley Azure at an auction, co-owners, Enrique Landa and Alex Stolarski, restored it to its original condition.
117
1931 Bentley 4-Liter
Terry & Darlene Larson – Arizona The 4-liter models were the last built by W.O. Bentley and are extremely rare. With its stunning Vanden Plas coachwork, this was the factory’s demonstrator and a one-of-a-kind. It was used for publicity in the factory brochures and magazines and was the last open Tourer built by W.O. Bentley. This car led a very pampered life and was kept amazingly original. It stands out by virtue of its purity, history and stunning open coachwork as one of the most significant survivors of the vintage Bentley. Upon detailed inspection, the world’s leading vintage Bentley authority, Clare Hay, summed it up best by saying: “In general terms, I would say that this is about the most original and correct vintage Bentley that I’ve ever seen.”
1929 Bentley Le Mans
Joel Laub – Nevada This Bentley was acquired in 2001 from Stanley Mann, in Radlett, England. UV 3957 was restored in the 1990's by renowned Bentley enthusiast, Ulf Smith from Sweden. This car has been campaigned by the owner since 2001 on many tours and races throughout the United States and Canada and travelled over 25,000 miles. UV 3957 has done the Colorado Grand twice, the 4,000-mile United States and Canada tour, and the West Coast Vintage Bentley Club Tour. After 25,000 miles and 18 years of fast driving, this 4.5-Liter Bentley has had reconditioning done by renowned vintage Bentley specialist, William Medcalf in Liss, England, just prior to this tour.
1929 Bentley 4.5-Liter
Richard F. Mattei – Arizona Richard Mattei is the current owner of this beautiful 1929 Bentley. The original owner was Army Captain HB Stokes of Windsor, England. The car’s original coachwork was a four-place Vanden Plas sports. Now the car wears a Vanden Plas 2-3 place body.
1939 Bentley 4.25-Liter Tourer
John & Gwen McCaw – California This exquisite 1939 Bentley 4.25-Litre is a prime example of an MX Vanden Plas four-seat sports tourer, chassis number B25 MX. There were just six Vanden Plas tourers built on the overdrive chassis. B172 MR was changed to an H.J. Mulliner saloon and B25 MX had its tourer body fitted before World War II. B25 MX was owned for many years by "Rusty" Turner. Sometime prior to 1971, the original engine was changed from S9BV to R5BW, but the original engine has since been re-married back to B25 MX. B25 MX has been known as "Virginia II," which began under the ownership of Michael Salmon of New Jersey. B25 MX was later owned by Nicolaus Springer of Zurich, Switzerland and then acquired by the current owner.

100 Years of Bentley Motors
1928 Bentley 4.5-Liter VDP Tourer
David McGirr – Connecticut This is an all-original 4.5-Liter VDP Tourer. In 2015, David McGirr purchased the car in England and shipped it to its new home in Connecticut. He appears to be the seventh owner of the vehicle. It retains its original wood floorboards stamped by Vanden Plas. A copy of the Vanden Plas body record exists and it shows body number 1448 and a price of 179 pounds. He has photos of the car competing in the United Kingdom, in the 1950’s, at Silverstone and the Firle Hill Climb. The car participated in the 2016 Greenwich Concours and won the “Chief Judges AwardInternational.”
1927 Bentley 3-Liter
William Medcalf – United Kingdom One of only 15 built to “Speed Weymann” specification. Fourteen were built as saloons and this example is believed to be the only Speed Weymann Coupé ever built. Throughout the 1920’s, the demand for sporting cars diminished and customers increasingly ordered closed cars. Bentley Motors responded by adapting their Speed Model. Using the 9-ft 9½-in wheelbase and Speed Model engine, the company further included a double silencer exhaust system and a lower-ratio rear axle to suit the closed coachwork. The coachbuilder was none other than one of the finest of British coachbuilders, Freestone & Webb. The drophead coupé coachwork was designed to be a closed body that could be opened rather than an open body that could be closed.
1956 Bentley S1 Continental Two-Door Saloon
Don & Carol Murray – California One of only 69 examples of Park Ward's exquisite Design 701, chassis BC8BG was delivered on July 31, 1956, to D. Mackinnon Esq. of England, optioned with the desirable one-piece taillights and coupled with subtle fins atop the rear wings. The prior owner acquired this Bentley, in 1985, and has owned it for 32 years. It was his wife’s daily driver and they have photos documenting bringing their new born baby home in the Bentley. It has been scrupulously maintained, both mechanically and cosmetically, as supported by a considerable file of receipts and photos dating back to the 1970’s. It was acquired in 2017 by Don and Carol Murray.
1924 Bentley 3/4.5-Liter
Amy Petronis Rand – Maryland This 1924 Blue Label Bentley was originally delivered in 1924 to W. Norcliffe in the United States. CX6624 disappeared until the early 1960’s when it became a United Kingdom barn find. After being restored, the car rapidly won six Rally first prizes. In the 1970’s, it traveled from Colorado to Briggs Cunningham’s for the “50 Years on the Run” celebration. Austin Clark’s Long Island Auto Museum subsequently became its home, and later it completed the Mt. Equinox Hill Climb, as well as many vintage Bentley tours. Most recently, Elmdown Engineering’s last project was to optimize the Bentley for touring. CX6624 has enjoyed the Vintage Bentley tour in the Azores, as well as many in the United States.
119
1938 Bentley Park Ward Series III Sports Saloon
Patrick Quilter – California After serving four British owners, Bentley B107LE came to the United States, in 1970, and participated in many long-range driving events in the hands of six American owners. The eighth owner commissioned a cosmetic refresh, in 1998, and motor overhaul, in 2004, at about 75,000 miles. The current owner, Patrick Quilter, completed the 2018 California Mille without missing a beat, covering about 112,000 miles.
1937 Bentley 4.25-Liter
Ron Rezek – Oregon This 1937 Bentley 4.25-Liter was completed by Park Ward, in 1937, as a four-seater coupe. As few as 1,234 examples of the Bentley 4.25-Liter chassis were manufactured from 1936 to 1939, and this vehicle is claimed to be a one-of-one example with coachwork by Park Ward. The car was commissioned by Miss F. Pickle of Halifax. It is believed to have been ordered, and possibly built, as a drophead coupe, then changed to a fixed-head coupe at Miss Pickle's request. The car’s name to this day, is “Miss Pickles.” The 4.25-liter, straightsix is mated to a four-speed manual gearbox with electric overdrive. In 2001, it was awarded the “Best Derby Bentley” by the Bentley Drivers Club.

Christian Schmidt – Texas Ordered by widowed Mrs. Leslie Hamilton Gault and delivered to her Eaton Square residence in London on June 8, 1935, this Derby Bentley was finished in Horlands Blue with white, fine coach lines and trimmed with Connolly Almond Grain leather.

In 2016, Christian Schmidt acquired the car from Mr. van Huystee's collection at the Bonhams Amelia Island auction, in pristine mechanical condition; aside from the clutch that has since been rebuilt by vintage Bentley specialist, Matthew Garrett, from Precision Autoworks in Lewisville, Texas.

1958 Bentley S1 Continental Coupe by Park Ward
Elton B. Stephens Jr. – Alabama BC35LDJ is one of six, of the original 10, Park Ward Coupes known to survive today. It was ordered through Reyreca, the Rolls-Royce dealer in Caracas, Venezuela, by Luis Enrique Pérez Velutini, as the only Park Ward Coupe, and almost certainly, the only S1 Continental of any type, delivered new to that country. For various reasons, Mr. Pérez Velutini elected not to purchase the completed car, and upon arrival in Caracas, it was acquired instead by his cousin, Miguel H. Velutini. The Bentley would remain in the care of the Velutini family until 1996. In 2014, it was acquired by Elton B. Stephens and the Heritage Collection, in Birmingham, Alabama, where it has been lovingly used in motoring events and rallies across the southeast United States.
1965 Bentley S3 Continental Drophead Coupe

Bryan Boardwell – California Bryan Boardwell’s grandfather purchased this Buick, in 1966, after it won a car show in Detroit, Michigan. Bryan was the only grandchild who learned how to drive the car, in his teens, and helped with the restoration. Mr. Boardwell then acquired the car, in 2017, from the estate and brought it to California. It has never been shown outside of Michigan and from his family's research, there are less than five Model 36s still in existence, and this is the only one fully outfitted with a gas tank and radiator in brass and copper. What better place to display his longtime passion than at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering?

Joseph & Margie Cassini – New Jersey This Stutz was originally exported to Buenos Aires, Argentina, by the Stutz Motor Company of Indianapolis, Indiana. It was sold in Buenos Aires by Luis Firpo, who was a famous Argentinian boxer and who had acquired a Stutz dealership there. The car remained in Argentina until 1974, when it was brought back to the United States by car collector and dealer Sam Sherman. Upon arriving back in the States, it was then purchased by the wellknown Floridian collector Dr. Donald Vesley. Dr. Vesley sold the Stutz, in 1977, to William Bools of Cincinnati, Ohio, who began a restoration project of his own, however, it was not completed by the time of his death. In 2008, Joseph and Margie Cassini purchased the Stutz from his estate.
1931 Bugatti Type 49
Merle & Peter Mullin – California This Bugatti Type 49 succeeded the Type 44 in 1930. A blend of carriage and sportscars, this was the last of the twin plug, 8-cylinder, single overhead cam, relatively rare cars made between 1930 and 1934. The predecessor of the Type 55 gearbox and other key parts, this car boasted a larger 3.3-liter engine, three valves per cylinder, adjustable shock absorbers and four-wheel cable operated disc brakes. The Type 49 provided superior high-speed tracking and luxury driving for France’s winding roads. The alloy, vane-type wheels finished this special example.

The cars are now owned by Mr. & Mrs. Oostlander and enjoyed every day!
1936 Delahaye 135 Competition Disappearing Top Convertible Ken & Ann Smith – California This unique one-of-one 1936 135 Competition Disappearing Top Convertible is notable for many reasons, including being the first of the famed streamlined convertible designs by Joseph Figoni, with Figoni-patented disappearing top and folding windshield, pioneered on this very car. It was designed to be at home on a boulevard or a racetrack with its racing engine, gearbox and chassis. It was raced and campaigned by a famous French racing team for the original owner. Restored to 100-point level for concours competition, it is the winner of more than 20 prestigious Best of Show awards, articles and has never received less than 100 points by the CCCA. It is a premier example of famed 1930’s French Art Deco, wind-cheating coachbuilding.
1935 Swallow Sidecar and Coachbuilding Company – Jaguar SS1 Coupe
Eduardo A. Zavala & Michelle D. Harris – Florida The S.S.1 was the first car designed by Sir William Lyons, cofounder of the Swallow Sidecar and Coachbuilding Company, or simply, S.S. After WWII, the name of the company was changed to the familiar Jaguar moniker, largely due to avoid connotations with the Nazi party. This “Drophead Coupe” version is rakish and sporty looking but was really a value-based proposition in its day, costing less than most competitors.
1934 Hispano Suiza J12 Convertible
The Hon. Sir Michael Kadoorie – Hong Kong SAR This 1934 Hispano Suiza was originally supplied, new, to Belgianborn Baron Empain, on December 13, 1933, which was extensively used by him, including a trip from Europe to Africa and back to Germany. In German military hands during World War II, the J12 eventually found its way to the United States to its sixth owner, Mr. Edward Swearingen of San Antonio, Texas. It resided in Texas for many years prior to being purchased by the present owner through Charles Howard. Since then, the Hispano has been the subject of a meticulous nut-and-bolt restoration to the highest of standards and to the original specification.

This extremely rare, numbersmatching, black Speedster is only one of 141 Speedsters produced between 1954 and 1959 in this color. Only 74 of these Black cars featured a Red interior from the factory. This car is also equipped with a set of 1958 date-coded Rudge knock-off wheels, making this one very rare Speedster!
1952 Cunningham C-3
Thomas Coady – Florida When Briggs Cunningham halted production of the C-3 S, 14 chassis remained in various stages of completion. Since these chassis were never turned into cars by Cunningham, the cars built on these chassis are sometimes referred to as "Bastards”. This car was the next car in line to be bodied when production ceased. In 1955, the West Palm Beach facility was closed, and the remaining chassis and parts were sold. Chassis 5235 was sold to Jack Shakespeare of Indiana. In 1957, John Hanley of Wisconsin commissioned Brooks Stevens Design Associates to design the coachwork. The coupe design features a top reminiscent of the Loewy-styled Studebaker and a front end like that of a Chrysler 300C. The body was built by Bob Jones of Indianapolis.
1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
Tancredi D'Amore – California In 1955, at the demand of United States importer Max Hoffman, a Pininfarina-bodied Giulietta roadster was introduced and in 1956, a higher-performance model Veloce model was introduced and raced extensively in Europe and the United States. The list of performance modifications on the Veloce is lengthy and resulted in a more responsive, faster car. One of only 835 short wheel base (first series) Spider Veloces built in 1958, this car possesses all the original Veloce specifications including original Weber DCOE-3 carburetors with air cleaner and alloy oil sump. It has never been fully restored, just beautifully maintained. This Giulietta won second in class at the Palo Alto Concours D ’Elegance.

1958 Fiat 1200 TV
Alex Haugland – Oregon This is a Fiat 1200 TV Trasformabile two-seat roadster with an updated Fiat 1100 Turismo Veloce Trasformabile 1200 engine. Exterior changes from the earlier model included new front and rear bumpers, with taller over-riders moved further inboards and swiveling seats, which rotated outwards to facilitate ingress and egress. Penned by Pininfarina, the body design has clear cues from American designs of the period. This TV was found in a field outside of Eugene, Oregon, with a University of Oregon sticker still on the windscreen. It was fully restored to match a magazine advertisement from the period. Researched and restored by Vintage Underground in Eugene, Oregon.
1949 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Super Sport Cabriolet
Joe & Beth Hurwich – California As one of the most expensive cars of its era, the Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 was owned by celebrated luminaries, including Rita Hayworth, Prince Ranier and King Farouk. The SS model was the top of the line 6C offered combining style with performance. Between 1942 and 1953, less than 70 Cabriolet examples, some say 25-30, were produced by Pinin Farina. This example was in the United States by 1959. This car was in “boxes” from at least 1976 to 2018, until its complete restoration in 2018. Prior to restoration, the odometer showed 41,000 km, which is believed to be original. The car currently carries an A 3 FIVA card attesting to its originality.

1958 Triumph TR3A
Christian A. Johnson – Florida Other than knowing his late father won and lost this 1958 Triumph TR3A in a poker game, the true history is unknown to Christian Johnson. 25 years later, by way of beaten path, Christian found the Triumph covered inside an airplane hangar, deep in the Florida Everglades, with no driveway or runway in sight. How this car, or the airplanes, ended up in the hangar will continue to be a mystery. It was a complete basket case, but Christian needed to commission its monumental nut-and-bolt restoration. Working with Predator Performance in Largo, Florida, they resurrected a forgotten memory into his vision today. 1,000 hours later, they restyled this car into what he pretends is the long-lost Triumph Works racecar that should have been built.
1955 MG TF 1500
Catherine Kusnick & Jay Mackro – California MG introduced the "T-series", a range of open, two-seater sports cars with little weather protection, in 1936 with the MG TA. The MG TF1500 was the final evolution of the T-series, making its debut in 1954. With its headlights faired into the fenders, sloping grille concealing a separate radiator, pressurized cooling system and 1466-cc engine, it concluded the T-series with elevated levels of performance and elegance. This lovely 1955 MG TF1500 has had only three owners and 65,000 original miles. It has been painted but never rebuilt or restored.
1960 Alfa Romeo 2000 Touring Spider
Richard & Kristin Markell – California It is easy to see why this Carrozzeria Touring designed roadster stirred the heart and passion of so many. Audrey Hepburn was photographed, in Milan, riding in a Spider worthy of her movie star presence! This remarkable example travelled back and forth from San Francisco to the Hamptons each summer prior to being owned by the current family. While driving this roadster around the curves of Lake Cuomo or Garda in Italy, one can understand the passion this car evoked. This example claimed second place in the La Jolla Concours. It is in current concours paint, and a beautiful original survivor with an interior showing the patina of many of those amazing trips around Italy.
1955 Porsche Pre-A 356 Speedster
Richard L. Niello, Jr. – California It is hard to believe, but Porsche Design was able to reboot and go from thinking about Tiger tanks to sports cars in the span of just three years. In 1948, the first Porsche 356 emerged from a converted sawmill in Gmund, Austria. This 1955 Porsche Pre-A 356 Speedster was acquired by The Niello Company, in June of 1986.

The Petersen Automotive Museum – California Richard Bosley of Mentor, Ohio, might have been a horticulturist by trade, but he didn’t limit his interests to flowers alone. A Jaguar XK120 owner fascinated by the Ferraris he’d seen in the automotive magazines of the day, he set about building his first sports car in the early 1950’s, using parts from Ford, Mercury and Chrysler swathed under a swoopy fiberglass body of his own design and manufacture. Though he never entered production with what would become known as the Bosley Mark I, as he intended, he did put it on the road as his personal car and accumulated 100,000 miles with it over the next decade.

1955 Cadillac Convertible Series 62
Ed & Norma Ramirez – California This is a gorgeous and unrestored, one-of-one Ascot Gray Cadillac Series 62 Convertible. Not many owners chose this color, as it looked like primer in the Cadillac Catalog, which makes it extremely unique. In person, the Ascot Gray color is elegant and beautiful. This color is so rare that most concours judges think it’s an aftermarket paint and are shocked to realize it is the correct color code. This car belonged to Ed Ramirez’s father who cherished it deeply. The car has gone through an interior refresh and paint touch up. It has won multiple Best in Class, Best in Show and other awards throughout the years. Although this Cadillac has been treated with white gloves, the Ramirez Family has thoroughly enjoyed it.

Michael Baum & Bronson Page – California Zagato's Chief of Design, Ercole Spada, designed the Junior Zagato with volume production in mind. However, with a futuristic and controversial shape for 1969 and a high price tag, the car was not as successful as planned and only 402 of the 1,600 versions were sold. This car was delivered to Italy and lightly restored in the Netherlands before coming to the United States. It still contains a mostly original interior and its original 1600 twin-cam engine. As the best-driving 105-series Alfa Romeo, this car is often used for tours and events and was displayed at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering in 2010 in the "Alfa Romeo Special Coachbuilders" Featured Class.

It replaced the underpowered 190SL with a fuel-injected inline-six engine. Several panels are aluminum to reduce weight, consistent with the SL (Super-Leicht) designation. From a styling perspective, the Pagoda is handsome and understated, with sporty elements such as finned rear fenders, flared wheel arches, a wide grille, a hood bulge and a large air scoop in front of the windshield. This example was purchased in Southern California in 2012 and freshened, but not restored. Colors are Ivory and Tobacco with Cognac interior.

Zagato invested huge expectations in this project, founded by British Zagato, then the Rootes Group, the owner of Hillman, however, decided differently. This is the 1964 Earl’s Court London Car Show and the only one with the “adjustable eyebrows”.

Post-War Sports 1961-1975
1967 Lamborghini 400GT 2+2
Steve Girard – Wisconsin This Lamborghini 400GT 2+2 went up for auction in 2016 as a well-documented, two owner example that was in a garage for almost 40 years! Once purchased, the car began a multi-year concours level restoration. This example has been refinished in Tahiti Blue paint with a stunning white leather interior. The factory Borani wheels complete the elegant style of this Post-War Sports classic. One of 224 examples of the 2+2 that Lamborghini built between 1966 and 1968.
1968 Lamborghini Miura P400
Dr. Henry M. Haley, Jr. – Louisiana This Miura, number 3670, is all numbers-matching with the original color of Bleu Miura and Senape interior. It was originally delivered to the United States and within a year of its build, was sent back to the factory for partial upgrades to S specifications, including more hp and chrome trim around headlights and windows. The vehicle has been restored over the years by renowned Miura specialists Colin Clarke, legendary factory engineer and test driver Bob Wallace and, just this year, by George Evans. It also carries renowned Lamborghini test driver Valentino Balboni’s signature next to the production plate and was on the cover of Classic & Sports Car Magazine in June 2015. It is certified as original configuration by Lamborghini Polo Storico.
1967 Porsche 911S
Timothy Hensley – Oregon Por‐she is a 1967 Porsche 911S painted by internationally recognized artist and educator, Phyllis Yes who was a Professor of Art and later the Dean of Arts & Humanities at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. Much of her work focuses on blurring the gender associated with everyday objects. Dr. Yes says that “lace is the social fiber women have woven for many generations”. By covering traditionally masculine objects in lace, the gender of the object is neutralized. Work was completed in 1985 and displayed at the Bernice Steinbaum Gallery. In 2012 to 2013, the car was restored around the artwork to “as new” condition by German Master Tech, Inc. of Bend, Oregon.
1971 Monteverdi 375L High Speed
Mark Jansen – Australia In 1967, at the age of 33 and following a disagreement with Enzo Ferrari, Peter Monteverdi decided to design and build his own GT car. Monteverdi’s formula was simple; he wanted to feature the best in Italian design and—like Iso, De Tomaso and Bizzarrini—use the reliability of American power. The 375 series Monteverdi's were powered by a Chrysler 7.2L (440 ci) V8 delivering 375 bhp. It is understood that less than 60 Monteverdi 375L’s were built from a total production of less than 100 of all the 375 variants. This example is one of perhaps only nine factory RHD 375L’s built. The vehicle was sold through Monteverdi’s agent in the United Kingdom, into Australia, and was shown at the 1972 Melbourne Motor Show.

1954 Aston Martin DB2/4
Bill Johnston & Ron Elenbaas – Michigan Chassis number LML/506 was completed by Aston Martin on June 9, 1953. It was delivered to Bertone on November 16, 1953. Bertone built only two drophead coupes for Aston Martin. The car was delivered to Edith Field, on November 12, 1954. In 1955, she entered the car into Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and took home third in class. After her passing, the car was discovered in Tennessee and was sold to Formula 1 driver, Innes Ireland. It was passed through a couple more hands over the years before being restored to concours condition.
1974 Porsche 914
Ian Karr – New York 2019 marks the 50th Anniversary of the Porsche 914, and this 1974 example in rare Ravenna green features a numbers-matching 2-liter, fuel injected engine. The car was sold in Arizona and spent many years in California before being stored in Wisconsin in the late 1990’s. It emerged from its slumber a decade later and received a bare metal re-paint in its original color. Ian Karr had been searching for this powertrain and color scheme combination for several years and, through the help of the 914world.com community, he found this remarkably preserved car in Indiana. Over the past two years of ownership, all rubber, seals and upholstery have been refreshed and the engine bay was detailed. Otherwise, the car is highly original and factory correct, including the luggage rack.
1964 Jaguar XK E-Type
Scott & Andrea Kimmelman – Florida This is an excellent example of a very original car with 15,500 original miles since new. Jaguar Heritage Certificate with numbersmatching, color and interior including optional factory hard top.

Post-War Sports 1961-1975
1961 Jaguar E-Type Roadster
Tom Krefetz – California This special, first year Series 1 E-type comes with flat floors and welded louvres on the bonnet. It is numbers-matching, in its original color combination (as documented on the Heritage Certificate) and was correctly and meticulously rotisserie restored by Classic Showcase with no expense spared. The uniqueness of this XKE is it is a flat floor, early First-generation E-type, that features covered headlights, and an alloy dash. The XKE was introduced to the world in 1961 and was welcomed with great excitement, so much so that even Enzo Ferrari stated that is was the most beautiful car he had ever seen.
1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale
Robert M. Lee Automobile Collection: Anne Brockinton Lee – Nevada Chassis AR381257 is a two-door coupe by Bertone built on the 101.21 chassis. Sprint Speciales were one of the five-speed manual sporting versions offered. Bodied like Giulietta Sprint Speciales, though all steel, engine displacement of the Giulia rose to 1570cc and mechanical improvements were incorporated. With 9.7:1 compression, DOHC and twin Weber DC0E2 carburetors, the Giulias were more powerful and responsive. Designed by Franco Scaglione, designer of the Bertone BAT cars, the influence of the BAT tests and styling can be seen in the low drag coefficient and fluid curves of the Sprint Speciales. Top speed for these cars is over 125 mph. A total of 1,400 Giulia Sprint Speciales were built from 1963 to 1965 including Anne Lee’s chassis AR381257.

Robert J. Lepofsky – Massachusetts This 1963 Porsche 356SC is presented in Stone Grey with the interior trimmed in green leather. It has received engine, transmission and suspension upgrades by the skilled team at Willhoit Auto Restoration and has recently participated in the Cooperstate 1000 and SCM Pacific Northwest tours. A superb rally car!
1966 Shelby Cobra
Perry A. Margouleff – California CSX3334 had quite an interesting early history. It was owned by Cobra enthusiast, John Parlante, who allegedly was held up at gunpoint while trying to sell the car. Though he claimed the car was stolen, it is rumored that he hid the car away and later sold it himself. Perry Margouleff has owned the car for the last ten years and has done a sympathetic mechanical restoration, including an engine rebuild supervised by Bob Corn, who is one of the original designers of the 427 FE engine. He enjoys driving this car regularly and has driven it to Carmel from Los Angeles for The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering.
137
1972 Lancia Fulvia Sport 1.3 S Zagato
Stefano Natoli – California The Fulvia was in production from 1963-1976. The Sport, a fastback coupé, was designed and built by Zagato, who was commissioned to provide a more aerodynamic body. Lighter and nimbler than the standard Fulvia, the Sport distinguished itself in long distance events including Sebring and Daytona, where a Sport earned a class win in 1969. This Series II is powered by a light alloy, 92 hp, 1298-cc, narrow-angle, V4 engine. 2,600 of the Sport versions were manufactured, of which about 800 remain. This example was registered in Perugia, Italy, in 1972. Acquired by the second owner in Brescia, Italy, in 1984 who sold it to a collector in 1989 from whom the current owner acquired it in 2015.
1992 Jaguar XJ-13
Don Norby – Alabama The Ligas brothers started this adventure in 1992 when the real XJ-13 was on display at the United States Jaguar headquarters in Mahwah, New Jersey, for the bi-annual meet. They flew to New Jersey with homemade scales. The goal was to get as many photos with the scale of the XJ-13 and it was successfully reached. Once home, they developed all the photos and methodically went through and started calculating the cars dimensions, keeping in mind that in 1992 the internet was all but nonexistent and to have a personal computer was unheard of. All calculations were done with nothing other than their minds. Keeping true to the design, they worked to make this as authentic as possible. In the end, this 1992 Jaguar XJ-13 is their vision of what the greatest supercar was.
1966 Shelby GT350H
Buddy & Arline Pepp – California The now infamous term "Rent-A-Racer" was the result of Carroll Shelby convincing Hertz Rent-A-Car that they should have Shelby’s in their rental fleet. In 1966, for one year only, Hertz ordered 1,000 Shelby's that were designated as a GT350H with the "H" signifying Hertz. Qualified individuals could rent the cars for $17.00 per day, plus 17 cents a mile. Many, possibly most, Shelby Hertz cars were rented on weekends because they were primarily raced at drag strips across the United States. The majority of the 1,000 Hertz cars were painted in the Hertz colors, black and gold and equipped with automatic transmissions. This example is equipped with a rare factory T-10 four-speed manual transmission. The total restoration was completed in 2018.
1958 Abarth Allemano 750
Michelle & Jon Rand – Oregon This Abarth Allemano is based on a Fiat 600 platform. While most Abarth cars were coachbuilt by Zagato, this car was built by Allemano. The underpinnings and drivetrain are nearly identical to the 750 GT Double Bubble. It is a 750-cc Abarth-derivative Fiat 600 engine but with a different carburetor. The Allemano is a more refined body and construction, albeit heavier. The fit, trim, and finish is superior to the Zagato bodies, and it offers a comfortable ride. This car was delivered in New York but made its way to a Midwest barn belonging to a Cadillac collector. Eventually purchased by Michelle and Jon Rand and restored in Oregon by Joseph Potter and Vintage Underground.

Today, the car is in its original, special-order color and has all numbersmatching. The car is unique in that it was raced in America and is one of only 30 Carrera RS's painted India Red. Most RS's were painted Grand Prix White, Light Yellow, or Light Ivory. This Carrera RS went through a full, bare metal restoration in 1994 and was acquired by the current owner in 2002.
1965 Sunbeam Tiger
John Rosoff – California Preproduction Prototype: B9479975PPLRXFE. Body PP 47 was built on July 5th, 1965, as the first of nine design study and development prototypes under Rootes CB2810/3 program designation for a revised Mk2 specification of the Sunbeam Tiger. This first car was used to study GT-type interior upgrades and convertible top storage area revisions. There is also evidence that a new-style grille was planned; mounts for this grille were incorporated into the body. Mechanical specifications were not altered from the Mk1, but provision for an oil cooler was made. Both the new-style grille and oil cooler appeared on all production Mk2 Tigers. The sister car, B9479976HROFE, survives in the United Kingdom.
1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL
Svend Schmidt – California This one-owner 280SL was sold to its current owner in 2013, at which point, it underwent a comprehensive restoration by a marque specialist in California. The restoration covered all aspects of the car including body, restored original interior, driv-line, i.e. engine, transmission, driveshaft, rear axle, suspension, electrical system, etc. This car also retains its hardtop in original excellent condition. This numbers-matching car presents in its original as-built factory specification, namely Tobacco Brown paintwork, Cognac MB-Tex upholstery, brown carpeting and a dark brown soft top.

1988 Honda TN Acty BigCab
Clark Sopper – California Kei trucks (a Japanese classification of vehicles) are ubiquitous in rural Japan and serve double duty as both work and family vehicles. This TN Acty Big Cab is the pinnacle of Honda's 1980's era Kei truck development and the last evolution of the TN model before it received a major modernization. When new in 1988, this TN Acty Big Cab boasted a more spacious interior (100mm longer cab) and better visibility than its standard size siblings. The Big Cab also came equipped with sleek, flip-up side skirts that hid its midmounted two-cylinder 550-cc motor. Prior to being imported to California, this Acty resided in Fukuoka, Japan. It is now spending its life running around Santa Cruz and carrying motorcycles down to Laguna Seca.
1962 Jaguar E-Type
Ted Springstead – Colorado This Flat Floor E-Type was manufactured on January 1, 1962. It seemed strange that the factory was working on New Year's Day, but it was confirmed by the Jaguar Heritage Trust with a note that New Year's Day was not a National Holiday in the United Kingdom, until 1974. Ted Springstead purchased the car, in 2015, though Bassett's Jaguar, in Rhode Island. Springstead worked hard to prepare it to be a driving car and has continued in that vein having done both the Copperstate 1000, twice, and Sports Car Market 1000 Tour. The car won Best in Class at the Jaguar 2018 Pikes Peak Concours with a score of 98+. Who says you can't enjoy driving a classic car and maintain a high-level of originality at the same time?

Post-War Sports 1961-1975 1966 Ford 7-Liter
Roger Towne – California Marketed as the “Smoothest Brute”, this was the culmination of Ford’s success at NASCAR, the Ford Total Performance Program and the marketing machine set in place by Lee Iacocca. The 7-Liter came standard with Ford’s new 428/4V engine, dual exhaust, 9-3/8” rear-end, disc brakes, heavy duty suspension, woodgrain steering wheel and special badging. With Ford’s wide selection of factory options and dealer performance features, buyers could build their 7-Liters into anything from a hot rod to a luxury cruiser. This car is the best of both, featuring high-performance heads, cam and intake, cast-iron headers, high-flow exhaust, close ratio four-speed, 3.50 rear end, power steering, power brakes, power windows, sixway power seats, AM/FM stereo, two-speed wipers, convenience lighting and remote matching mirrors.

Qvale was the first distributor for Jaguar on the Pacific West Coast and Mr. Trent told Mr. Qvale that the 1961 Jaguar XKE was his dream car. When a buyer backed out on the first XKE delivered to San Rafael, Mr. Qvale called Mr. Trent to see if he was interested and boy was he interested! Mr. Trent still remembers driving to San Rafael with a check in hand and a wonderful feeling as he drove away in his new, Carmen Red, convertible 1961 Jaguar XKE.
1969 Dodge Super Bee Hemi
Marc Trzeciak – California This car epitomizes the “Buy on Saturday, run on Sunday” ethos of the 1960’s. One of only 38 coupes produced with a 426 Hemi and four-speed, in 1969, this car is well-documented and looks showroom new. Featured in both Mopar Muscle magazine and 2018 Muscle Car Review magazine, it sports original Y2 yellow color code paint and correct engine and four-speed casting numbers.

Dave Atcherley – Pennsylvania In 2012, a vetroresina (fiberglass) 308 GTB was purchased to produce a Group 4 "Michelotto" 308 clone. A majority of the work was performed by technicians who were involved with the Michelotto cars, in period, and the chassis was built using the original Michelotto drawings and specifications.

1960 Ferrari PF Coupe
Paul Colony – California 1960 was the last year for the PF Coupe with 353 built from 1958. The Coupe had that understated PF styling prevalent in the period. Under the hood was the iconic Colombo-designed 3-liter Ferrari V12 single-cam motor, four-speed, drum brakes and independent front suspension assembled onto the long wheelbase frame. Built for grand touring in some luxury and with some elbow room, they were not sprinters but middle to long distance runners although 240 hp made them quite capable should any challenge arrive.
2003 Ferrari Enzo
Michael Coyne – California This Ferrari is a true embodiment of juxtaposition, beauty and horror, humor and tragedy, love and hate. A one of a kind automobile that demands attention and contemplation.

1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS
Dr. John J. Etchart – California John Etchart learned of the car from a friend, Doan Spencer, who worked for Hollywood Sports Cars. When Doan and John saw the car, they realized it was quite a mess and must have endured a lot of abuse. Doan did notice the car was different with no bumpers, no side markers, covered headlights, Campagnolo wheels, Daytona seats and a Lucas fuel injected motor. They purchased a battery to make sure the engine turned over. John purchased the car after much haggling, in 1978. Doan removed the fuel injection and was able to get it running. It didn’t end up running too well, so John stored it and forgot about it for years. Restoration finally began in 2015.

Their chassis numbers end in the S designation but came in a variety of bodies from multiple coachbuilders. Roughly 36 Inter chassis were produced. Some differences from the early Sports to Inters include detuned engines and shorter wheelbase chassis of similar weight. Although some were raced, they all benefited mechanically from ongoing improvements in racing, with the fastest examples having top speeds of 106–112 mph, in 1949-50. Chassis 011S, the 1949 Ferrari 166 Inter Cabriolet by Stabilimenti Farina debuted at the Geneva Salon in March of 1949.

1983 Ferrari 512 BBi
Scott Oshry – New York The 512 BBi is in the family of the first mid-engine V12 cars produced by Ferrari, the car was created to replace the front-engine Daytona and was a huge leap forward. According to historians, the BBi was developed as Ferrari’s answer to the Lamborghini Miura, a car that at the time was revolutionary in styling and performance.

1986 Ferrari Testarossa "Monospecchio"
Tom Radom – Texas This 1986 Ferrari Testarossa is one of a very limited, early production run of single-mirror vehicles. Known as the "Flying Mirror" or "Monospecchio" Testarossa, this factory design feature is the result of a misinterpreted Italian traffic law requiring full visibility. Designers elected to install a single periscope-style mirror on the driver’s side in lieu of the more traditional two-mirror design that was changed on the Testarossa starting in late 1986. Many early owners of these single-mirror cars voluntarily had them converted to two-mirror cars as the appearance was unusual at the time of release, further limiting the remaining number of Monospecchio Testarossa’s on the road today. This vehicle is 100% stock from factory.
1995 Ferrari F512M
Dr. Saif Rahman – California The 'Modificata' was over 150 lbs. lighter than its predecessor, the 512 TR, due primarily to a lighter engine casting, forged aluminum pistons, titanium alloy connecting rods and a revised billet crankshaft, along with aluminum front and rear fenders, a glass composite hood, aluminum spindle hubs (front and rear), aluminum sway bar attachment pieces, new lightweight aluminum shock absorbers and forged three-piece Speedline wheels. For the North American market, all F512M's have a metal plate under the radio cover stating the sequential production number, one through 75, of that vehicle. This vehicle is number nine of 75.
1995 Ferrari F512 M
Christopher Rodie – Texas Christopher Rodie first sat in this car when it was initially offered for sale after long-time curation by the original owner back in 2014, at Ferrari of Houston. After thoughtful consideration, he decided to pass on the vehicle at that time. While reviewing the available lots at the 2018 Bonhams Quail Lodge Auction the night before, he noticed the SAME CAR was being auctioned off at No Reserve. Not wanting to let it slip by a second time, he registered, bid, and won the auction the same day. Coming full circle, the car now rests within the borders of the great State of Texas and is regularly seen at Ferrari Club of America and RADwood events.
1967 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2
154
Paul Schaeffer – California This Ferrari was originally sold in Italy and exported to Georgia. In 1997, Paul Schaeffer acquired it in very rough and neglected condition. Over the course of four years, Mr. Schaeffer and his "dream team"—Patrick Ottis, Phil Reilly, Larry Buskirk, Frank Suter and Geoff Ohland—restored the car while rarely leaving his garage. The decision to leave the original interior intact was deliberate as very few remain in this condition. The updated Series II design debuted in 1965, when the single headlight configuration replaced the dual headlights, Borrani wire wheels became an option, and a five-speed synchromesh gearbox with hydraulic clutch replaced the former four-speed with overdrive. This was the last year of the model, and this car is Serial Number 9629 out of 10193.

1978 Ferrari 308 GTB
Elliott Scherling – California This all original, 1978 Ferrari 308 GTB, was acquired new by the current owner from Ferrari of Monterey.

This is the “Super” car and the exact one that most children had as their poster car in the 1980’s. Many say that this version is the most desirable, before the factory started adding side skits, because of the four-valve motor with carburetor.

2018 Lamborghini Huracán Performante
Debbie Ann Combs – California The Lamborghini Huracán Performante was unveiled at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, shortly after setting a new track record on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. A time of 6:52:01 made the Performante the fastest production car to ever lap the Nürburgring, five seconds faster than the previous record. The track-oriented variant of the Huracán had been re-engineered in its entirety and introduced a new and innovative system of active aerodynamics, known as Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA). The use of Forged Composites, a shapeable forged carbon fiber material patented by Automobili Lamborghini, was also introduced and contributes to the light weight of just 3,046 lbs.

He used his lawn mowing and paper route earnings to buy car magazines and read about the epic battle between Ford and Ferrari that resulted from Enzo Ferrari spurning Ford by backing out of the agreement for Ford to purchase Ferrari. This led to Ford partnering with Carroll Shelby to develop the GT40 into a Le Mans winner, winning at Le Sarthe from 1966 through 1969.

John & Nikki McDonald – California 1996 marked the debut model year for the GTS coupe, the second generation of Dodge Viper. Powered by an aluminum V10 producing 450 hp and backed by a six-speed manual transmission. This Viper is VIN 316 of 1163 GTS Coupes produced in 1996. This Viper was included in a photoshoot at the Blackhawk Museum commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the GTS coupe alongside 17 other GTS coupes.
2008 Koenigsegg CCXR
John & Gwen McCaw At the age of five, Christian Koenigsegg saw a Norwegian stopmotion film about a bicycle repairman who built his own racing car. Mr. Koenigsegg was inspired, and he began his own company in Ängelholm, Sweden in 1994 and produced the CC8S, the first car, in 2002. It was lauded as one of the best supercars ever built. The CCXR is the 4th generation, with this CCXR producing a monstrous 1,018 bhp. Performance is outstanding, 0 to 62 mph in 3.1 seconds, doubling that in 8.9 seconds. Visually, this CCXR is striking with the Dihedral Synchrohelix doors. A total of 18 CCXR's were produced, of which only five exist in the United States and this CCXR is one of just three with a manual transmission, a true supercar dream.
2009 Lamborghini LP640 Murciélago Roadster
Kevin Mosesian – California This very rare Gated LP640 Murciélago Roadster is one of only eight made in the United States and one of two ordered in a factory matte black known as Nero Nemesis. This is the last of the true Manual V12 Scissor door Lamborghini’s made.

2019 McLaren 600LT
Private – Canada One of the first 600LT delivered in California and is a rare Vega Blue with bright orange interior example.
1986 Lamborghini Countach Downdraft
Joe & Margaret Sackey – California Countach GLA12997 was built for Lamborghini CEO Patrick Mimran, finished in one-off Bordeaux Speciale paint, Panna leather and Gold wheels, and fitted with a factory-tuned engine N°1202. Completed at Sant Agata on May 13, 1986, it was registered in Switzerland for Mimran who kept it after he sold Lamborghini to Chrysler in 1987. In 2015, it was purchased from Switzerland by Supercar specialist Joe Sackey and was subjected to a complete restoration by California-based Dugan Specialties. The ownership history and specification are confirmed by Valentino Balboni. It has been featured in the December 1986 edition of Road & Track magazine, the July 2017 edition of Classic & Sports Car magazine, the May 2018 issue of Octane magazine, and the September issue of Automobile magazine.
2015 Porsche 918 Spyder
Rick Schuld – Illinois This pristine example is one of two in the world, finished in Acid Green with the Weissach Package and only one of one in the United States. It’s equipped with Acid Green piped leather interior, seat belts with accent stripes in Acid Green and Acid Green brake calipers.
1986 Lamborghini Countach
Glenn Shapiro – New York The Lamborghini Countach is widely regarded as the most outrageous car ever built. Only 13 examples fitted with downdraft carburetors arrived at the United States ports before the EPA and DOT banned Lamborghini from importing them. This is one such carbureted example. The Countach evolved, gaining in strength and power as there were successive increases in the displacement. Regardless, the 5000 QV downdraught carb cars are the most powerful of the Countach model range, with its 5.2-liter V-12 engine with four valves per cylinder, Weber downdraught carburetors and a power output of 455 bhp. This Countach has had three previous owners and in in 2015, it underwent a restoration and had mechanical work to make it in absolute excellent useable condition.

Supercars
2019 Ford GT Heritage
Richard Shehadey – California This 2019 Ford GT Heritage is a tribute to the 1968 Le Manswinning Ford GT40. The new GT was designed and built as a racecar to win at Le Mans, which it did successfully in 2016.
2019 Ford GT
Edwin Sims – California Edwin Sims was selected by Ford to receive a new GT because of the events he participated in with his 2005 Ford GT. For his 2019 GT, he chose the custom color palette option: Yellow Gold Metallic. It is close to the color of the #5 GT that finished third at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. The car has every option except stripes.
1993 Bugatti EB110 GT
Kris Singh – Florida This Bugatti EB110 GT is approximately the 47th of 136 examples completed and one of 84 made to GT specifications. A mildlyused example benefiting from a well-maintained life in Japan. It is accompanied by an accessory catalogue, owner’s manual, and warranty booklet. It is documented with rare factory build sheets and Japanese ownership paperwork. It is an impressive original example of the rare, Italian-built Bugatti Supercar.
1994 Bugatti EB110SS
Kris Singh – Florida This is the lowest mileage Bugatti EB110SS in existence. It was recently inspected on May 15, 2019, by founding members of the EB110 project in Modena, Italy. It is making its first-ever debut in the United States at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. It is now owned by a true Bugatti lover and hypercar collector.
163
2019 McLaren Senna
Benjamin Sloss – California The Senna is an unusual design for a street car, and the first of the modern high-aero supercars. The many aero shapes on the car are challenging, with a solid color or street car paint. However, GT racing cars have solved this challenge for years by using racing liveries with designs which complement the aero components. When it was time to design Benjamin Sloss’s Senna, he chose a tribute to the racing McLaren F1S using a FINA livery designed and painted at the factory by McLaren Special Operations and he is quite happy with the result! This Senna, chassis #144, holds the production car lap record at Thermal Raceway.
2020 SSC Tuatara
SSC North America – Washington The SSC Tuatara is an American hypercar, influenced by fighter jet aerodynamics and performance. Boasting a 0.279 coefficient of drag, lower than any other car in its class, the Tuatara is well balanced between unmatched aerodynamics and precision downforce at its 300+ mph top speed. It’s bespoke SSC V8, 5.9-liter, flat-plane crank engine creates 1750 hp on E85 and 1350 hp on 91 octane, offering smooth, balanced power for both incredible performance and a unique hypercar experience. Dynamic driving modes transform the hypercar’s active rear wing, ride height and shifting characteristics through a robotized manual transmission, allowing the driver to operate the Tuatara in aggressive track style or docile street driving.
2001 Lamborghini Diablo VT 6.0
Tom & Joan Sudano – California Tom and Joan Sudano purchased this Lamborghini Diablo, in February of 2012, from Cats Exotics in Lynnwood, Washington. The 2001 Diablo 6.0 is the last and final year of the Diablo. It features a V12 6-liter engine, wider track, an abundance of carbon fiber, a 0-60 speed of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of over 200 mph. A limited production of only 337 Diablo 6.0 supercars were produced. Driving and hearing the Diablo 6.0 is truly a fantastic and remarkable experience.
1994 Bugatti EB110SS
Stephen Thorne – Pennsylvania This Bugatti is a highly authentic and pristine example of the rare Bugatti EB110 SS. It was just imported from Switzerland, in early May, after being newly acquired. Approximately 30 examples were made before Bugatti was closed down in the mid-1990's. The SS15 was ordered, in 1994, by a French collector, Mr. Becquet, via the French importer British Motors.

Supercars
2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale
Dr. Kin Wong – California The Ferrari 458 Speciale is Ferrari’s fastest naturally aspirated V8 supercar. It has a race-inspired Pininfarina design, which is compact and sculpted. The Speciale won “Performance Engine of the Year” in 2014. With 597 hp, from its 4.5-liter V8, the Speciale propels itself from 0-60 mph in 3.0 seconds. Ferrari is rumored to have produced, at most, 3,000 examples worldwide, with perhaps 1200 destined for the United States.
1994 Bugatti Dauer EB110SS
XJ Holdings – South Carolina This 1994 Bugatti is a unique clear-coat carbon-fiber-bodied Dauer continuation of the Bugatti EB110SS, with additional race inspired tuning and lightening. It is quite possibly the most powerful and lightest ex-factory street legal EB110SS ever made.

Sports and Racing Motorcycles: Entrant Bios
1950 Vincent Black Lightning
Bryan L. Bossier, Sr. – Louisiana Approximately 30 Black Lightnings were ever built and were intended to be used as race-only bikes. The first Lightning set the world land speed record for motorcycles at the Bonneville Salt Flats, in 1948, at 150.313 mph with Rollie Free aboard. Only three road versions of the Black Lightning were ever built, which included headlights, taillights, generators, and so on.
1948 Vincent Black Lightning
William E. 'Chip' Connor II – Hong Kong It was one of the most iconic motorsports photographs in history, Rollie Free lying prone on the first Vincent “Black Lightning” motorcycle, setting the A.M.A. land speed record at Bonneville. On September 13, 1948, Vincent No. F10AB1B900 set a speed record of 150.313 mph, eclipsing Joe Petrali’s 136.183 mph record set in 1937, at Daytona Beach. Sponsored by wealthy sportsman John Edgar, the first Vincent Black Lightning was built to be the fastest, un-faired, un-supercharged motorcycle in the world. Simply breaking the record was not enough. Rollie needed at least 150 mph. After several runs at a speed of 148 mph, Free stripped down to a bathing suit and tennis shoes and broke the magic 150 mph mark!
1955 Vincent Black Lightning
Gilbert Family – California This 1955 D-Model Vincent Lightning motorcycle, of which there were only two, was the last of approximately 40 Vincent Lightnings manufactured between 1947 and 1955. Since the motorcycle was designed for racing, it incorporated magnesium components that reduced weight, and the modified engine components increased power. This motorcycle was purchased from a motorcycle collector who disposed of his entire collection of slightly less than 50 different Vincent motorcycles in 1990.
1953 Ariel Red Hunter
Thomas Leverone – California The Post-War Sporting Single Ariel came in many forms, including street, racing and scramblers. This 1953 is significant for its quiet, all cast-iron motor and plunger frame. The 350-cc motor was used very successfully in trial bikes and as a workhorse for street and commercial use. This motorcycle was rescued from the island of Java and had been repaired numerous times with what was available. It was in a sorry state and numerous incorrect colors. The restoration took years because numerous parts had to be fabricated by Thomas Leverone using only period photographs. The original color, the color as it left the factory when dispatched to Java, is a most faithful representation of Amaranth Red.

Sports and Racing Motorcycles
1968 Gilera Competizione
Julien Pearl – California In the mid-1960’s, Todd Fell, the current owner of Gasolina Motorcycle Boots, was racing lightweight Italian motorbikes. At the time, he was a very courageous, up-and-coming young racer and his efforts came to the attention of the Gilera factory. After communicating with Todd, they agreed to manufacture, reserve and send him one of their special "Competizione" motorbikes for him to compete with in the United States. Todd raced continuously through the early-1970’s and frequently embarrassed much larger displacement motorcycles. The little bike was one that Todd held onto for the longest until Guy Webster convinced him to sell.
1974 Ducati 750 SS
Paul Pflugfelder – Massachusetts This Ducati 750 SS was raced in Canada, in the 1970's, at club level, then put away in storage. Paul Pflugfelder acquired the bike a few years ago, and had it recommissioned. It is unrestored with the fine patina of age.
1949 Vincent Rapide
John S. Stein – California Based on a 1949 Vincent Rapide, "Barn Job" was built and raced by Clem Johnson and was the most famous drag bike of all time, having been the first to go more than 140, 150 and 160 mph.

Custom Coachwork: Entrant Bios 1972 Austin Mini
Vernon Adams – California Though most Mini Coopers were best known for their British heritage, there were a few examples produced in Italy called the Innocenti. This not-so-innocent 1973 example has been retrofitted with what could be confused as a ballistic missile. Powered by Ford's latest Ecoboost motor with a five-speed manual transmission, this Italian job is truly Super. Last year, the Super Cooper prototype, built by Gildred Racing, was unveiled at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. Vernon Adams saw it and said “I gotta have one” and commissioned Gildred Racing for the build. It wasn’t enough just to drive like a bat out of hell, it had to be unique in every way. Without a doubt this Super Cooper celebrates the 60th Anniversary of the Mini with a home run!
1968 Ford Mustang
Tony Arme – Arizona This 1968 Mustang is referred to as “Corruptt”. It features a 2006 Ferrari F430 4.3-liter V8 with symmetrical twin turbochargers. The plan with this vehicle was to blend the muscle car body and styling with the performance, sound, details of a super car. In 2018, Corruptt won the ‘Car of the Year Award’ at the SEMA Show. Corruptt was also a ‘Muscle Machine of the Year’ Finalist as well as ‘Overall Street Machine Winner’.
1956 Continental Mark II
Paul Boschetto – California The Continental Mark II is an ultra-luxury coupé sold by the Continental Division of Ford, serving as the worldwide flagship vehicle of Ford Motor Company. The Mark II was produced for the 1956 and 1957 model years. Like its competitor, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, the Mark II was essentially hand-built, making it the most expensive American-produced automobile sold in the United States at the time. Ford evidently lost money on each unit sold.
1964 Apollo 3500 GT
Kurt Brakhage – Colorado This Apollo is number 35 of 88 made. It was Kurt Brakhage’s father’s lifelong dream to own one and at age 72, dying of cancer, he found one he could afford. He spent the final six years of his life restoring the mechanics. The body had always been in rough shape, but in 2016, and after 6 years in less than optimal storage, Kurt decided to finish the car’s journey. This car was owned by designer, Milt Brown in the early 1970’s and, to this day, is the only car that Milt has signed. Minus a few mechanical improvements for cooling, the car is original including original interior and five numbers-matching Borrani wheels. In Milt’s words, “it was the best running one of the bunch, and it runs today like it did when it was new”.

1955 Mercedes-Benz Gullwing, Replica
Rich Buckley – California This 1955 Gullwing Replica was built on the Hit TV show ‘Bitchin Rides’. The car was completely rebuilt to capture most of the original design elements both inside and out. Some of the major changes to the car include an updated chassis from the Roadster Shop sporting four-wheel independent suspension, carbon ceramic brakes, and integrated paddle shifting to update the car to have the performance one would expect from a new modern supercar.
1962 Jaguar XKSS
Robert & Anne Marie Crotty – California Displayed here is a faithful tribute to the original Jaguar XKSS. Accurately bodied by Shapecraft and meticulously hand built by CJR in the English countryside, this brand-new reconstruction of the XKSS is a transport to the mid-1950’s when Jaguar’s D-Types dominated at Le Mans and races beyond. In 1957, Jaguar retrofitted their remaining stock of D-Types with windshields, folding tops and luggage racks, calling it the “XKSS” and offering a full-spec racecar for the road. Among 16 lucky owners of the original cars was Steve McQueen who made the model famous during his ownership in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Aluminum body wrapping full Jaguar running gear, this classic is a hand-crafted time machine.
2019 MAT New Stratos
Robert Denson – Virginia This is the first client-owned production vehicle built by Manifattura Automobili Torino (MAT). Founder, Paolo Garella's design of the New Stratos is a modern interpretation of the iconic design elements of the Lancia Stratos, including the wedge-shaped body, semi-circular windshield, front end with central radiator, rear end with round tail lights, and the five-star rims.
1964 Jaguar Low Drag Coupe - ‘Project OWL 226’
Diez Concepts – California Designed by Diez Concepts in collaboration with Fast Cars Ltd., this project was born out of an admiration for Jaguar’s iconic lightweight Low Drag Coupes and, the legendary 49FXN. From the onset, the direction was not to create a modern resto-mod, but rather, a more refined version of the racecar. With input from the original design team, the aluminum monocoque and body was meticulously built from the ground up by RS Panels. Tipping the scales at 2100 lbs. and coupled with the Crosthwaite & Gardiner 3.8L engine producing 380 hp, this car delivers an unforgettable driving experience. All these elements culminate in a vehicle that is lithe and graceful; with superlative performance. In short, an Olympic athlete, in a Savile Row suit.
169
1953 Jaguar XK120 FHC
Barry Fitzgerald – Australia Justin Hills bought this Jaguar XK120 five years ago, but had been planning the purchase for five years prior. He always loved the beautiful lines and flow of the XK120 but felt some minor improvements could be made to the overall appearance of this beautiful car. He now feels that his Jaguar XK120 is a true representation of what he thinks the original designer would have first sketched, before practicality and cost had to be included into the design. Justin’s design is now receiving a written endorsement from Jaguar designer, Ian Callum himself!
1998 Aston Martin Project Vantage Concept
George Georgiou – United Kingdom This one-off is the 1998 Detroit Auto Show, Pebble Beach and Amelia Island Aston Martin Project Prototype. It has a one-off Kevlar and aluminum honeycomb chassis, prototype 6-liter V12, prototype semi-automatic gearbox and pushrod F1-style front suspension. It is physically smaller than the Vanquish production car that followed, with bespoke panels, glass and a one-off carbon, aluminum and aniline leather interior. Restored to original running and driving spec, it was featured in the September 2017 issue of Classic and Sports Car Magazine, which was shot at Goodwood. It was subsequently featured in the Spring 2018 issue of Vantage Magazine where it was reunited with Bob Dover and Ian Callum at Millbrook.
1930 Morgan Three-Wheeler Delivery Van
Dennis & Pamela Glavis – California This vehicle was in use in the 1950's and 1960's in the United Kingdom by Sandy Frazer Vintage Motoring Spares and Accessories, often seen towing a wooden Gypsy Caravan, both, loaded with parts. It was found in Long Beach, California and acquired by Ron Garner of Mad About Morgans in Hull, Massachusetts, who undertook a ground up restoration on it. His daughter is a Master Brewer so the rear box was converted to a portable pub having two brass draught draws installed, while a photo of Queen Victoria overlooks. After years of begging, Mr. Garner finally sold the 1930 Morgan to Dennis & Pamela Glavis!
2018 Porsche GT3
Huy Nguyen-Khoa – Texas This Porsche GT3 was IndyCar driver Graham Rahal’s personal, custom-ordered GT3 from PCNA. The GT3 has paint-to-sample amethyst metallic paint and the only full pebble stone grey interior with pepita bucket seats. The pepita and houndstooth interior design harmonize the early 911 with the modern generation 911 carbon graphite design interior. The exclusive CXX interior includes a full leather deviated, black stitched interior and dashboard and amethyst color vent slats. The GT3 has custom RXX R strada matching seat bolster protectors, 911R carbon graphite shifter with a matching leather boot, the original OEM wheels and the featured HRE custom bronze wheels. This car was repurchased from Parkplace Porsche in Dallas, Texas by Steve Nguyen-Khoa.

1949 Hudson Super Six
Private – California This Hudson is an ICON Derelict one-off project. With the Derelict builds, ICON seeks to respect the as-found patina and sense of history, while infusing a lot of modern engineering and technology to provide an ultimate daily driver. Some of the unique features include original paint, car laser scan and 3D modeled, Art Morrison four-wheel independent suspension chassis with rack and pinion power steering, Brembo hydro-boosted brakes, all stainless-steel fuel and exhaust system, dry-sump and a blown LS9 engine delivering 660 horsepower, with a GM 4L85E automatic transmission. With wild-caught hand-painted Alligator interior and custom milled leathers, this Hudson is Rockabilly-ready, Nashville-bound for some bar hopping! Built to be driven.
1965 Pontiac Vivant
Phillip Sarofim – California The ‘Vivant 77’ was created by Herb Adams as a side project while he worked at Pontiac in the mid-1960’s. The alloy-bodied concept started with a small-scale model and Herb began building the rolling chassis in his garage. He used a spare Pontiac 370 V8 paired to a Tempest transaxle. The car had Corvette suspension rolling on eight-lug Kelsey-Hayes Bonneville/Grand Prix wheels. He built the chassis himself, but to bring the sophisticated body shape to life, he used the talents of three famed drag racers, Tommy Ivo, Don Garlits, and Connie Kalitta. The car made its debut at the 1966 Detroit Autorama, but shortly after, the Vivant disappeared for over 35 years. It was discovered in a barn and restored by Jake Yenny.
1932 Lincoln Murphy Sport Phaeton
John Scully – California This 1932 Lincoln Murphy is a tribute to the car that Walter Murphy (Walter Murphy Coachworks) tried to sell to The Lincoln Motor Company. Unfortunately, after Lincoln declined his offer, he had to close his factory. This vehicle was built in 2013 by Roy Brizio, and is arguably his finest work. The body, front fenders and hood were built by renowned Lincoln restorer, Rick Kriss. All other visual components and frame are from the 1932 Lincoln. It was built for daily driving with a Chevrolet LS3 motor, GMC sixspeed transmission, and Heidt full-independent suspension.
1938 Buick Y- JOB First Concept Automobile
Gary Wales – California In 1938, Harley Earl, General Motors first head of design, revolutionized the car industry by creating the very first concept car specifically designed to show the car-buying public what the future would be in car production. Harley was responsible for making the full-size clay models that are now universally used in all automobile design studios throughout the world today. He also aided in making General Motors the largest and most successful corporation in the world, at that time. This offering is a salute to the original Y-JOB and the only known recreation of this iconic, and certainly one of the most important, automobiles of all time.

70th Anniversary of the Volkswagen Transporter: Entrant Bios
1950 Volkswagen Transporter Type 21A Panel Van, LHD
Richard Clark – California The 21A left the Wolfsburg Factory in December 1950. It is completely original, except light bodywork and paint, rear view mirrors, and headlight lenses. It has logged 1,080 miles to date.
1954 Volkswagen Transporter Type 23A Kombi LHD
Richard Clark – California The 23A Kombi was a Los Angeles delivery van in August 1954. It was used extensively in the 1980's to transport San Gabriel Valley surfers to Huntington Beach. This Bus has all original or NOS parts, for era correct appreciation. It has a unique ambulance glass partition and a factory hinged windshield, also known as “Safari Windows”.
1954 Volkswagen Transporter Type 21E Panel Van, LHD
Richard Clark – California The Type 21E is a special order LHD Panel Van with cargo doors on the right and left sides. This Transporter was delivered to and became a parts delivery vehicle for the “Competition Motors Volkswagen & Porsche" dealership, on Vine Street in Hollywood, California. The "double door" panel vans were the best working vehicles due to ease of access. Years and careers later, this van was discovered, as a broken pest control working van, in a Los Vegas, Nevada, scrap yard. Richard Clark became the 4th owner in 1994. As usual, he performed a complete restoration to factory specifications, using only original or NOS, German Volkswagen parts. The result is an era correct, functional piece of history.
1961 Volkswagen Transporter Type 261 / M004 Pickup Truck "Dusty Conditions"
Richard Clark – California The Type 261/M004 "Dusty Conditions" Pickup Truck was a Seattle delivery vehicle for agricultural work, in Eastern Washington. This special order, factory designed truck, has a sealed engine compartment. In addition, the M004 has factory "Safari Windows", a cyclone air filter, unique wide-bed rear view mirrors, cargo bed hoops, bows, and a canvas "tilt" cover. This pickup truck was rescued from an Arizona scrap yard and rebuilt to factory specifications with all original and new old stock, German Volkswagen parts. "Dusty Conditions" is one of three known similar trucks in the western hemisphere.

70th Anniversary of the Volkswagen Transporter
1963 Volkswagen Transporter Westfalia S033 Camper Bus
Brendan & Rebekah Finn – California This 1963 Westfalia SO33 Camper Bus, was part of VW's “Tourist Delivery Program.” Campers were ordered at a local United States dealer then delivered in Germany. Families vacationed in European summers, then the “Westy” was shipped to the United States avoiding a 10% tariff on commercial vehicles entering the United States! This SO33 explored western North America which can be verified by matchbooks, gas receipts showing a whopping 27 cents a gallon, old maps and lots of beer bottle caps from every state. The Bus’ journey ended in California, where it was stored for decades. This Camper is thoroughly original, except for an external re-spray in 2010 that matched the original color.
1966 Volkswagen Transporter Type 265 Double Cab Pickup Truck, LHD Chris Laver & Richard Clark – California The Type 265 Double Cab Pickup Truck was a Newport Beach, California, “Chick Iverson Dealer" delivery. As the third owner since 1973, this "DC" had been used for long West Coast surf trips, undergrad business hauling, and grad school band equipment shuttles. In 1986, the extreme parts acquisitions and restoration project began. Chris Laver and Richard Clark only used original parts on the truck or new old stock German Volkswagen parts. They produced an authentic, Euro-style German Volkswagen Transporter with smoother lines and contrasting turn signal lenses. In the surfing and Volkswagen world, the Double Cab Pickup is the best example of a true "Multi-Purpose" vehicle ever made.

Display Only: Entrant Bios 1961 Chevrolet Apache 10 Pickup
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. – California Shortly after American Honda Motor Co. (AHM) opened for business in 1959, the company purchased several Chevy pickups to deliver motorcycles to dealers across Southern California. These trucks helped Honda establish a United States market foothold. Underscoring their importance, AHM restored a truck to match an iconic old photo from its first United States office in Los Angeles, California, helping celebrate its 60th anniversary. Tapping company archives and memories of retired associates, the classic Chevy was renovated to replicate the originals, receiving a mild mechanical freshening plus new original white paint and authentic hand-painted graphics.
1946 Willys “Nelly Belle”
Michael Coit – Texas Leonard Franklin Slye might not ring a bell for most but top his head with a white cowboy hat, fill his lungs with lyrics of a sweet country song, slide him into a western-style saddle on his golden palomino, Buttermilk, carrying his beautiful wife and that might remind you of Dale Evans and Roy Rogers. When the “King of Cowboys” wasn’t riding across the range on Trigger, it’s easy to imagine him traipsing over the hills and valleys of Double R Bar Ranch in his 1946 Jeep, NellyBelle. Newly converted by WillysOverland from military workhorse to civilian farm and ranch tool, it is a quarter-ton utility vehicle powered by an inline L-head 134.2 four-cylinder engine with 60 hp, a manual transmission and fourwheel drive.
1969 Land Rover Series IIA
Bradford B. Nugent – California This 1969 Land Rover Series IIA is a true survivor that has literally traveled around the world. The car was imported from South Africa, where it had spent its formative years on a farm. This Land Rover’s beauty is in its pure originality. From the fading original 50-year limestone paint to the faint remains of old park permits, it shows its years proudly. While there are fancier and shinier cars, none brings the smiles and character like this one.
