1952 PORSCHE 356 PRE A

Porsche’s Type 356, introduced in 1948, is acknowledged to be one of the world’s great sports cars and in 1951 an aluminium-bodied works car finished first in the 1,100cc class at the Le Mans 24-Hour Race and 20th overall, thus beginning the marque’s long and illustrious association with La Sarthe.

Over a 15-year production run, the handsome and durable 356 evolved from a streamlined little aluminium-bodied coupe powered by a VW-derived, 46bhp 1,100cc air-cooled flat-four to a powerful autobahn burner carrying a complex, two-litre four-cam boxer Carrera engine of 130bhp. Its development brought not only coupes but luxurious cabriolets and more spartan speedsters and roadsters.

This wonderful early Pre-A Coupe was manufactured in 1952 destined for the newly emerging market of the United States. Delivered to its lucky first owner in January of 1953, the 356 was repatriated to the German around 10 years ago. In current ownership the 356 has been extensively restored to a high standard, having covered only a handful of kilometres since being returned to the road. Finished in Modegrau (Fashion Grey) with a beautiful Bordeaux red leather interior, and offered with German registration papers and an extensive valuation report, this is an excellent example of arguably the prettiest of Porsche designs from the last 60 or so years.

1963 PORSCHE 356C COUPE

Introduced in 1948, the Porsche Type 356 is acknowledged to be one of the world’s greatest sports cars. Over a 15-year production run, the handsome and durable 356 evolved from a streamlined little aluminium-bodied coupe powered by a VW-derived, 46bhp, 1,100cc air-cooled flat-four to a powerful autobahn burner with a 130bhp, 2-litre 4-cam boxer Carrera engine. Overt time came coupes, luxurious cabriolets and more spartan Speedsters and Roadsters, and more than 76,000 were built by the time production ceased in 1965.

By the time the 356B arrived in September 1959, Porsche’s first sports car had gained a one-piece rounded windscreen and 15-inch wheels, along with further styling revisions and a 1,600cc engine. Outwardly very similar to the final 356B, the ultimate 356C model arrived in 1963 sporting disc brakes all round (first seen on the 2-litre Carrera 2), a new ZF steering gear and a compensating spring at the rear to calm the swing axle rear suspension. Engine options were the 75bhp ‘C’ and the 95bhp ‘SC’, both 1,600cc, the latter replacing the Super 90 model.

The 356C offered here is the 1.6-litre engine with 75bhp, it will come with the original steel rims complete with hub caps and with the Fuchs rims mounted. The vehicle was a German delivery and German registration and vehicle documents are present. This car is a matching numbers vehicle with German H-plates. The Porsche certificate is supplied with the vehicle. An ADAC vintage car expertise evaluation from 2011 notes the car with a condition of 2+. The interesting history and large amount spent on the car during it’s US restoration make it worthy for consideration to any shrewd enthusiast in time for Summer.

1989 MASERATI BI-TURBO SPYDER

The Bi-Turbo was initially a strong seller and brought Italian prestige to a wide audience and competed (unsuccessfully) in the British Touring Car Championship in the late 1980s, the European Touring Car Championship and the 1987 World Touring Car Championship. The Spyder version was introduced at the Turin Motor Show in 1984 and was designed and built by the world-class designers, Zagato. Overall 3,076 were built over a ten year period, setting a production record for Maserati Spyders.

Attractively finished in black with a light grey leather and Alcantara interior, this later 1989 example still wears its original first paint, and is offered with a comprehensive history file and the associated service records. With just 60,000 kilometres from new, the Spider offers true supercar performance and sharp 80s looks – a fabulous option for Italian sportscar fans.

2009 MERCEDES BENZ SL65 AMG BLACK EDITION - COYS AUCTIONS Saturday 3rd August 2019 Schloss Dyck, 41363 Jüchen, Germany

2009 MERCEDES BENZ SL65 AMG BLACK EDITION

AMG, now the official performance division of Mercedes-Benz, has a long history of producing high-performance derivatives of Mercedes’ standard production vehicles, and these improved versions enjoy an enthusiastic following world-wide, with prominent figures of motorsports, entertainment, sport, and business communities being counted among aficionados.

Offered here is a beautiful SL65 AMG Black Series, the third of this evocatively titled and exclusive limited-edition family that had begun with SLK55 in 2006. Intended as even more highly developed versions of Mercedes-Benz’s AMG performance models, the Black Series consists of two-seater fixed-head coupé designs only. In the case of the SL65, this meant abandoning the ‘ordinary’ version’s folding metal hardtop in favour of a fixed carbon fibre roof, which also made room for the Black Series’ retractable rear spoiler.

The SL65 AMG Black Series was unveiled at Monterey in 2008. The base-car SL65 AMG’s 6.0-litre V12 engine was retained for the Black Series, but received larger turbochargers, a bigger intercooler, a new exhaust system, and a suitably remapped ECU, resulting in an increase in maximum power to 661bhp (approximately a 10% improvement over the stock SL65 AMG) while torque went up to a mighty 738lb-ft, delivered between 2,200 and 4,200 revs. AMG’s engineers not only increased engine output but also trimmed 550 pounds off the car’s all-up weight courtesy of additional carbon fibre panels, further improving the power-to-weight ratio. The result was a 0-60mph time of 3.8 seconds, while top speed was electronically limited to 199mph. This stupendous performance reached the road via AMG’s Speedshift Plus multi-mode five-speed automatic gearbox.

As one would expect, given the Black Series raison d’être, the chassis too underwent considerable modification, featuring quicker steering, wider front and rear track, and redesigned suspension in the interests of enhanced road-holding and controllability. Mercedes-Benz recognized that many Black Series customers would wish to enjoy their cars on the racetrack (where else could one safely enjoy its performance to the full?) and thoughtfully made the multi-link suspension adjustable. The SL65 AMG Black Series rolled on AMG light-alloy wheels – 19.5” at the front, 20” at the rear – while stopping power was provided by 6-pot callipers at the front, 4-pot at the rear. Only 350 of these amazing cars were made worldwide.

This breath-taking example has covered less than 250km from new and would be a credit to any serious collection. It can only be one of a handful of these very limited production cars with such low mileage and surely presents as an excellent investment opportunity.
