 1918 BIANCHI MODEL TIPO 16 SPORT

At its peak, the Bianchi Company was Italy's third largest car manufacturer selling over 200,000 vehicles a year. The company was founded in 1885 by Eduardo Bianchi, the son of the proprietor of a large grocery company in Milan. Originally, Eduardo manufactured bicycles to English design and soon gained a reputation of producing good quality products which were successful on both road and track. In 1897, Eduardo turned his attention to building motorcycles and then, the following year, he designed and built his first Quadricycle. Development work continued and in 1900 a second single cylinder car was produced using a 942cc de Dion engine driving the rear wheels via a chain drive. A range of increasingly powerful and fast touring cars were developed and by 1907, a new factory was producing three chassis types of different wheelbase lengths using interchangeable components. During the early 1920's, the Bianchi chassis was very popular among English coachbuilders and, in 1924, the company also turned its attention to the small car sector of the market.  Vehicle production continued under the Bianchi banner until 1955 when the company became AutoBianchi.

The car offered for sale here is a very rare and collectable Tipo (type) 16 chassis fitted with fantastic open two-seater coachwork. The car is powered by a 1690cc four-cylinder engine which produced 25hp at 2400rpm when new. Chassis number 16977 is finished in blue with black leather upholstery and is in very good condition. Boasting a number of details that would have placed this Bianchi firmly in the category of bespoke high-end sports car of its day, it has been kept in a warmed garage environment and started and run regularly; this collector's example has much charm, ignition is by original magneto, although there has been an electric fuel pump installed for convinience. Last serviced in 2015 by the then owner of a large Italian collection, this Tipo is supplied with a UK V5 registration document along with a dating certificate/data sheet issued by ' Registro FIAT  Italiano' and an original Bianchi sales brochure. Truly a unique car and part of Italian motor history, this is sure to be of interest to many bidders worldwide.

1994 FIAT 16V TURBO

“UNREGISTERED” ONLY 825 MILES FROM NEW. EX PININFARINA MUSEUM.

The Fiat Coupé (type 175, officially titled the Coupé Fiat) was a coupé produced by the Italian manufacturer Fiat between 1993 and 2000. The car was introduced at Brussels Motor Show in 1993. It is most remembered for its distinctive, angular design, with unique scalloped side panels. The body was designed by Chris Bangle from Centro Stile Fiat, while the interior was designed by Pininfarina. The exterior design would foreshadow much of late 1990s and early 2000s car design, acting as a precedent to both Bangle’s somewhat notorious work at BMW, as well as futuristic angular designs by other marques, such as Ford and Renault. Both the turbocharged 16v/4cylinder and 20v/5cylinder versions were equipped with a very efficient Viscodrive limited-slip differential to counter the understeer that plagues most powerful front wheel drive cars. Additionally, the coupe featured independent suspension all round: at the front MacPherson struts and lower wishbones anchored to an auxiliary crossbeam, offset coil springs and anti-roll bar; at the rear, trailing arms mounted on an auxiliary subframe, coil springs and an anti-roll bar.

This is a  rare opportunity to purchase a Fiat Coupe 16V Turbo – New / unregistered, as featured in Auto Italia Magazine. This particular Fiat Coupe is unique being one of 15 pre- production models built by Pininfarina as proof of manufacture.

It was built for the RHD drive markets and used to test dealer feedback on the final trim and interior details, as such it has some individually quirky differences to the volume UK RHD drive cars. These include the gear lever, door rubbers, the carpet is made up of sections, it has a sunroof, single key and reads 825 miles. The miles where all completed by Pininfarina to prove the body construction and running gear, but the car was not road registered. Once the Fiat Coupe was put into production this car became part of the Pininfarina collection so it has not suffered from the elements outside and as such the paint is original and interior unmarked. Also included is a brand new / unused dealer set of mats.

In 2012 Pininfarina went bankrupt and the assets of the company where frozen. This car was bought by a private individual in Italy and has now only appeared for sale within the UK. The Nova duties are paid but the car remains unregistered, Fiat have supplied the Certificate of Conformance and an official letter detailing the chassis number

1980 PORSCHE 924 RICHARD HAMMOND BBC TOP GEAR SCREEN FEATURED - COYS AUTOSPORT SALE

1980 PORSCHE 924

RICHARD HAMMOND BBC TOP GEAR SCREEN FEATURED

The Porsche 924 is a luxury sports car which was produced by Porsche AG of Germany from 1976 to 1988. A two-door, 2+2 coupé, the 924 replaced the 914 as the company’s entry-level model, and was the model that finally retired the 912. In production terms, the 924 was the first Porsche model powered by a water-cooled, front-mounted engine although the similarly configured 928 was designed first. The front-engine, rear wheel drive arrangement was normal for most other manufacturers, but it was unusual for Porsche having previously only used mid- or rear-mounted engines of a boxer configuration, all of which had been air-cooled. It was the first Porsche to be offered with a fully automatic transmission.

This car appeared on Top Gear in the Series 5 Episode 6 ‘Cheap Porsche Challenge’.  Each presenter had £1500 to spend on a Porsche of their choice.  Richard Hammond opted for this very 924.  The Porsches went through a number of challenges including driving from London to Brighton and being lapped around the Top Gear track by The Stig.  Richard decided to mod the 924 for the track challenge, lightening the car by removing the standard seats and carpets, plus new tyres and shocks were fitted.  He also added the distinctive flame design on the car, with number stickers and a matt black bonnet.  Jeremy Clarkson add in pen ‘inches tall’ below one of the 54 number stickers which still remains on the car.

1962 MORRIS MINI SPECIAL

This Mini was imported from Australia in September 2014. It has a NOVA certifcate so all duties etc are paid. It has only covered running in mileage on a bench tester and 90% of components are brand new. All the special bits are there as can be seen and on a list which can be viewed in the file.   lt is in beautiful condition and has never been raced. lt could be returned to a very quick and stylish road car or raced as was originally intended.

Cylinder head work and cam grinding was done by respected Australian race engineer and tuner Graham Russell, he is a colleague of legendary David Vizard and they consult each other on flow bench testing etc.  The engine is tuned to run on 100 octane leaded race fuel but could be returned to run on unleaded with additive. The bodywork is an original 1962 Morris Mini 850cc shell which has been  sandblasted and excess metal removed and has had a  steel roll cage welded into the body shell. Inside, a  new race seat and 3 harness and window net have been fitted and the paintwork is Castrol 2 pack in green. All windows are Lehan and fitted into the original frames where possible. All window and door rubbers are new and the front screen is a new laminated unit.  The carpet is made up to suit the floor area and the battery is mounted in the left hand rear of the car.

This wonderful, quick “Special” is presented in fantastic all round condition in “ pea green” and would make a very interesting road car if converted but would also be a competitive entry to any hillclimb, sprint or circuit race. A lot of fun at a fraction of the cost if one was to build such a car to this specification.

1978 FORD ESCORT RS2000

The Escort was the car that proved Ford’s rallying pedigree. Escorts in various forms won World Championship events between 1968 and 1981 with Ari Vatanen becoming World Rally Champion driving an Escort RS in 1981. Ford allowed their customers to have a taste of their rally success with models such as the RS1600 and Mexico which were developed at Ford’s Advanced Vehicles Operations plant. These models had their weaknesses, with the Mexico deemed as too slow and the RS1600 although quick was too costly to manufacture and maintain. The answer to these shortcomings was the RS2000 launched in 1976 which was powered by the 2.0 litre single-overhead camshaft engine. It was very well received being both fast and easy to maintain.

The RS2000 on sale here was originally registered in South Africa and imported to the UK in 2014. All documents for the car are present and correct and the car is in very original condition with original engine and Webber carburettors. The front seats have been recovered in period fabric and the car has benefitted from numerous new parts in 2014 and 2015 with receipts available. Originating from a sunny climate, this has allowed the bodywork to stay rust free and overall the vendor describes the condition of the car to be excellent.

With only 63,000 showing on the clock, a good history file and finished in the classic colour combination of White with Black cloth interior, this is the perfect opportunity to own an iconic Escort RS.
