1955 Ferrari 250 Europa GT s/n 0413GT Estimate: $2,200,000 – $2,600,000 |
Traditionally regarded as the first production 250 GT model, the Europa GT was an important model in the
history of the Ferrari marque. Combining elegant, understated Pinin Farina coachwork, with independent
coil-spring front suspension and a three-liter Colombo-derived V-12 engine, the Europa GT established a
template for all subsequent Ferrari 250 GT models, giving them a significance that outweighs a limited
production run of just 43 cars. |
1967 Jaguar E-Type Series I 4.2-Litre Fixed Head Coupe Estimate: $140,000 – $180,000 |
Recently discovered in the care of its second long-term owner, this E-Type Fixed Head Coupe is a
remarkable survivor from the final year of Series I production. In 1967, the original owners of this Jaguar
traded in their 1958 XK150 Roadster toward the purchase of a brand-new E-Type, finished in the rare and
dramatic color scheme of black over red leather. Remarkably, this car has covered approximately 27,000
miles in over five decades and has been kept in static storage for the past six years. Today, the E-Type
remains in outstanding unrestored condition and retains its original finishes, matching-numbers engine, Bill
of Sale, and factory-supplied Dunlop spare. A rare find in this condition, this Jaguar will give its lucky new
owner the opportunity to return this iconic sports car to the road while preserving its irreplaceable patina. |
1965 Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider Estimate: $70,000 – $90,000, Without Reserve |
The last of the classic twin-cam, inline six-cylinder Alfa Romeos, the 2600 was a grand touring car par
excellence. The upscale Touring-bodied Spider, of which only 2,255 were produced, was a worthy
competitor to other fine Italian machines like the Maserati 3500 and Lancia Flaminia. This remarkable
example has had just one private-owner from new and has spent nearly all of its existence in the San
Francisco Bay-area. A true “garage find”, this rare Alfa Romeo Spider still retains its original-issue California
black plates, and would be an ideal candidate for a sympathetic restoration or even preservation display. |
