1972 BMW 3.0 CSL

Registration: JJU 404L
Chassis Number: 2285236
Engine Number: 2285236
Number of cylinders: 6
CC: 3000cc
Year of Manufacture: 1972
Estimate (£): 70,000 - 85,000
(+buyer’s premium of 15% including VAT @ 20%)


The European Touring Car Championship of the early 1970s encouraged a number of performance-orientated manufacturers to build some rare and exciting 'homologation specials', notably Ford with their Escort and Capri derivatives and BMW with their CSL.


Standing for 'Coupé  Sport Leicht', it was indeed light - with an aluminium bonnet, boot and doors, reduced trim and lighter sports seats, all of which resulted in a weight saving of over 300lbs (136 kgs), even on the road car! The race versions created even more highly evocative images (think Hans Stuck flying at the 'Flugplatz' ) with an excess of dramatic spoilers on the front, rear and even on the roof! Only 250 were built and they were hugely successful in the period, gaining cult status amongst racing fans all over the world.


This CSL was sold new in the UK on 21st March 1973. Purchased by our vendor in 2011, he had the bodywork fully stripped to bare metal and the car painted in the period-correct colour of Taiga Green by '355 Automobile Restorations International'. Pictures of the work are available in the history file. The mechanicals including the engine, suspension and gearbox were all reassembled by the Ferrari specialist SMDG. More recently, the car has been maintained by RH Classics and used on high days and holidays.
The bodywork presents very well indeed with straight panel gaps and a deep finish to the paint. The chrome is in good order and the engine bay is extremely clean. A huge amount of work has been recently completed on the interior and it now looks fantastic. The wood veneer has been restored, the seats re-trimmed and the finished product is a joy to behold.
The history file shows this CSL has had 8 former keepers and there are older bills and receipts from BMW specialists Jaymic, BMW Guildford and Munich Spares.


Reading an unsubstantiated but believed genuine 75,000 miles, we welcome pre-sale inspections on this cult classic. A rare opportunity to acquire a true homologation special that is now highly sought-after amongst collectors around the world.

SILVERSTONE AUCTIONS @ THE SILVERSTONE CLASSIC
THE WING, SILVERSTONE CIRCUIT NN12 8TN.
29th & 30th JULY 2017



1965 FORD MUSTANG 289GT FASTBACK

Registration: FNA 249C
Chassis Number: 5F09A740906
Engine Number: Not Specified
Number of cylinders: 8
CC: 4.7
Year of Manufacture: 1965
Estimate (£): 34,000 - 38,000

(+buyer’s premium of 15% including VAT @ 20%)


n 1961, Lee Iacocca, vice president and general manager of the Ford Motor Company, had a vision. He imagined a car that would seat four people, have bucket seats, a floor mounted shifter, be no more than 180 inches long, weigh less than 2,500 pounds, and sell for less than $2,500.00. His dream became a reality when the Ford Mustang was born. The first generation Mustang was launched in April 1964 with Ford running three advertising campaigns on all three major TV channels across America at the same time. On the first day the car became available, Ford sold 22,000 Mustangs and by the end of the year, nearly half a million Mustangs had found new homes. A range of engines, body styles and extras ensured that the Mustang had a very broad appeal. In 1965 the 'Mustang GT' was introduced and featured five dial instruments, thicker roll bars, quick ratio steering, dual exhausts that exited through the rear valance, dual mounted fog lights in the grille, and special lower body side stripes. Another popular option was the 'Rally Pac' which added a tachometer and a clock. To this day, the GT models are the most desirable and sought after of all the Mustangs.
FNA 249C is 1965, 'A'-Code car and was imported from the United States during 2014 having been completely restored whilst it was there. For an American restoration, the attention to detail and the quality of the workmanship is amazing and this is one of the smartest Mustangs we have ever seen. During the rebuild, the car was treated to a brand new 'crated' Cobra V8 engine whilst the rest of the drivetrain was either reconditioned or replaced with brand new parts. 


The interior is superb and is absolutely classic Mustang GT with the 5-Dial dash, the optional Rally-Pac., wood rim steering wheel, chrome dial surrounds, and period radio. The seats have been recovered in the correct vinyl and the carpets and headlining are new. On its arrival in the UK, its new owner replaced the automatic gearbox with a manual 5-speed Tremec competition box and competition clutch. In 1965 it was possible to specify a manual gearbox but it was a 3-speed and this new Tremec box totally transforms the car. At the same time, it was fitted with a set of telescopic shock absorbers and treated to a new set of fantastic 'American Racing', Torq Thrust magnesium wheels with BF Goodrich Radials. During its restoration, the odometer was replaced and the new one currently indicates 2,281 miles.
This is a very special Mustang and ticks all the boxes. It's a genuine left-hand drive '65 GT, is superbly finished in Rangoon Red with white stripes, has a fresh '289', a classic interior, and the right wheels. In addition, the 5-speed gearbox, uprated clutch, and more modern shock absorbers make it much happier on UK roads.  A lovely Mustang and difficult to fault.

SILVERSTONE AUCTIONS
THE SILVERSTONE CLASSIC RACE CAR SALE
THURSDAY 27th JULY 2017
THE WING SILVERSTONE CIRCUIT  TOWCESTER NN12 8TN.


1997 BMW 320 (E36) STW Mc LAREN


R egistration: N/A
Chassis Number: 97008
Engine Number: TBA
Number of cylinders: 4
CC: 2000cc
Year of Manufacture: 1997
Estimate (£): 75,000 - 90,000
(+buyer’s premium of 15% including VAT @ 20%)



 The Super Touring E36 was BMW's replacement for the legendary E30 M3. It was introduced in 1992 and was an instant success. This E36 BMW was built by McLaren in 1996 and was used as a spare car by Schnitzer in the 1997/98 season. In 1999 the car was given to BMW Italy and was known as the 'CiBiEmme' car driven by Fabrizio de Simone in the Italian Super Touring Championship. It won 2 races outright in that season with 8 podiums. In 2000, the car was run by the Cristy's Team in the European Super Touring Cup and driven by Stefano Gabellini. In 2002 chassis 008 was sold to Hungary and raced in the local Hungarian Touring Car Championship, winning the championship outright in 2004.
More recently, the car was purchased by Jim Whelan in 2013 and brought back to the UK, where it competed in the 2014 HSCC Super Touring Car Championship. Following a brief shake-down at Donington, the car was rebuilt and returned to its original 'CiBieEmme Castrol' livery. Purchased by our vendor in 2015, he has prepared the car to his exacting standards and it is currently in stunning/museum-quality condition throughout.
The paintwork is better than on most road cars and the engine bay and interior are a joy to behold. The car is on the button and ready to be raced by its next owner. We encourage pre-sale inspections and welcome prospective bidders to contact the office for further information. This E36 is an absolute show stopper and would be welcome at the very best Super Touring events across the world.

1983 LANCIA TREVI

The current owner has had this vehicle for a period of 17 years. It has been to various motor shows to include Earls Court, NEC and tour day trips to the Trevi fountains rally with Lancia at St Peter’s, Italy.


This car is very rare and the current owner believes that there are only 2 remaining in this country. It has full-service history, all the old MOT certificates and tax discs. It has had a new water pump replacement, timing belt and all receipts are available to be viewed.
It has been in dry storage for the past 15 years but needs some TLC saying this the current owner believes the vehicle to be very solid and all the electrics are in working order.



Auctioneers notes: All Lancias are great fun to drive and this is 1 of only 2 left.
