Acquired by the current owner in 2007, the car has been regularly maintained by a local engineer who has kept the car to a good mechanical order.  The work over the period of ownership can be summarised as:

 Þ    Replace lights - 2 headlamp bowls and bezels, number plate lights, sealed beam units and sidelights

Þ    New rear exhaust system

Þ    Reconditioned steering rack

Þ    Overhaul o/s rear axle oil seal

Þ    Rear brake pads

Þ    Correct wiring harness for rear lights

Þ    Overhaul starter motor

Þ    Overhaul distributor & replace plugs, points, condenser, rotor arm and cap.

Þ    Replace tyres with 5 x Avons

Þ    Fit rear seat belts

Þ    Fit heavy duty battery

However, stored in an ordinary private garage, it is accepted that while the car is a great runner, a future owner will want to attend to the paintwork which shows signs of age.

There is continuing huge demand for Touring’s Superleggera Aston Martins with the DB6 Mark 2 model probably being the fastest appreciating example.  With scope for cosmetic improvement, 4289 is offered with a value for money price tag but lacks none of the virtues of the model or the marque and is highly recommended.

Legendary Dino 246 GT in wonderful condition, Veteran vehicle, equiped with the melodious 2.4L V6 Dino of 195 HP, FIVA Card, perfect car for Historic Rally, remembering the TV show The Persuader and its famous driver Danny Wilde, this car in particular was delivered brand new in Italy and has been wonderfully restored.

The set up of this race car was completed by Colin Blower of TVR fame and, measured on the dyno, it developed 390 bhp.  Running on the original chassis, with considerable strengthening, the car has a full roll cage making it considerably stiffer.

The suspension is via coil springs over fully adjustable dampers and the car has rose jointed suspension mounts and a fully adjustable front anti roll bar. Brakes are 6 pot front callipers.

Driven through a 4 speed dog box with Jack Knight gears and triple plate AP racing clutch with Tilton mechanism, the power comes from a highly developed 4.5 racing engine with a steel crank, special piston rods, camshafts and 55 DCOE Weber carburettors. Mapped ignition is via MSD and the car sits on 16” x 6” 72 spoke Motor Wheel Service wire wheels and was campaigned on Yokohama Advan tyres.

This car has a superb track pedigree over three decades – the current owner contested the 2010 Val des Terres Hill Climb in Guernsey with a Class win in the Hill Climb then in the Credit Suisse Jersey Festival the same year came second in class.  But for health problems, there would have been more in 2011 but those issues persist and are why the car has come back to the market

So this is a car that offers far more than an ordinary Aston Martin DB5 – it is a well prepared, well presented thoroughbred with the silverware to back up its reputation on the track.  Even for a novice Aston racer, if offers a competitive car with huge potential and for one with more experience, a podium finisher with realistic Championship aspirations.

This 1971 Chevy Camaro RS is very nice custom that incorporates the original uni-body of the Camaro with a full chassis. Finished in Corvette silver over a high end custom interior, the car has a great look, fantastic stance and a serious power plant/drive train combination.

The body of the Camaro underwent a full bare metal refinish and features shaved drip rails, Corvette door handles, a high rise fiberglass hood. The Camaro was built with a full custom chassis that incorporates a 4-link system and smoothed custom floor boards. The undercarriage looks as nice as the top, and the same super clean look was incorporated into the engine compartment of the car. All of the extra lines and wires have been neatly tucked away.

The nicely incorporated frame rides on a set of Air-Ride Shockwaves in the front and rear for a fully adjustable ride and a very aggressive looking stance. The car can be driven with a number of different suspension heights all made possible by the front custom wheel wells and the rear mini tubs. The car has very strong Wilwood brakes on all four corners and a trick Wilwood brake and clutch pedal set up. The rotors are drilled and slotted and the calipers are all fed by stainless lines. The handling is excellent as is the ride on both the street and on the highway.

The engine is a trick 355 small block which makes 10.5 to 1 compression and is equipped with a Lunati VooDoo cam, roller rockers and a Crower stack injection intake which has been converted to EFI and is controlled by a F.A.S.T computer and injectors. This small block really rips and the look is incredible. Snapping off quick shifts is a T56 6-speed transmission connected to Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.55 posi traction gears. The wheels are American Torque Thrusts that measure 18x7 in the front and 20x10 in the rear.

The interior of the Camaro is all custom and features Ultra-Leather with Ostrich inserts. The seats are from a late model Camaro and the dash board is styled after a mid year Corvette. The dash features all Autometer gauges and custom carbon fiber trim. The car has a deleted rear seat and custom center console which houses the shifter and the Air-Ride controls. The look is incredible.

People break their necks to catch a glance at the Camaro when its out and about. The look combines the best of new and old and the ride is pretty sweet if we might say.

SS DELPHINE is an exceptional steam ship built in 1921 and totally rebuilt between 1997 and 2003, thanks to her passionate owners, into a modern classic super yacht with a  unique character.

Although she has kept her 2 incredible steam engines, she is now equipped with all the modern technology equipment and boasts a very luxurious and comfortable interior.

DELPHINE has a 5 deck layout, 3 wonderful outside decks combined with opulent entertaining, dining and living salons.

Launched in 1921 in Michigan, SS DELPHINE was the largest yacht built in USA that is still in existence today. Her original owner, Horace Dodge of American automobile fame, died four months before its completion. The yacht passed into the hands of his family. In 1926, she caught fire and sank in the Hudson River. Five months later in NY, she was re-launched back to former glory.

During last world war, DELPHINE was placed into naval service and renamed USS DAUNTLESS and unofficially acted as the presidential yacht.

After the war, the Dodge family repurchased her from the Navy and got finally sold to the Lundeberg Maryland Seamanship School in 1968 where she served as steam ship training vessel for the next 18 years.

Since 1986, she passed into the hands of a succession of owners until she was bought by her current owner in 1997.

Between 1997 and 2003, she was totally upgraded and rebuilt into a modern classic mega yacht with all the latest amenities and communication facilities.

Re-christened in September of 2003, by H.S.H. Princess Stephanie of Monaco, SS DELPHINE, is one of the most unique and exceptional yachts for private cruise and charter in the world. In 2004, she received the annual showboats award for best refit.

Mythic original Daytona Competizione Alloy, one of the 15 cars produced and the 5th and last of the 5 Alloy Body, delivered brand new to the N.A.R.T. and entered in many mythic races (Le Mans 24h and 4H, Daytona 6H, Sebring 12H, Watkins Glen 6H, 1'000 KM of Paris), big historic files, many original documents (invoices, race files, ...), FIA documents, can be entered in many major historic events (Le Mans Classic, ...), restored in 2002, fully revised in 2010, fully detailled and documented history.

Extremely rare 1972 works De Tomaso Pantera group 4, one of only 14 units ever built by the factory. When De Tomaso launched his racing program for his new and promising Pantera, they decided to build a racing version of the car that would be eligible for the FIA group 4 class. Only 14 units have been built with a special lightweight chassis (Type 874A – A stands for Alleggerita), and immediately entered major international races. One of the most important events in 1972 was the 24 hours of Le Mans, with four factory group 4 Pantera registered at the race. Despite the superb results for the qualifying sessions (a Pantera did the best qualifying time in group 4 class), the result in the race itself were very disappointing. It is now commonly known that with more time to properly prepared the cars, the Pantera would have been front runners in that race.

Ecurie Franco-Britannic entered the race with a factory group 4 Pantera driven by Vinatier and Chasseuil. This is the car we are proud to offer today. The history of this car is very well known, crystal clear and documented from the beginning including the entry form of the 1972 24 hours of Le Mans, and the name of all owners. It is important to point out that the chassis number of the car is #2824, but for some unknown reasons the factory re-stamped the chassis with #2342 before delivering it to Franco-Britannic in 1972. The last owner, Dick Lasselle who purchased the car in 1993, started to search for the history of the car. His perseverance has paid off, as he managed to get in touch with every single owner of the car and got some information directly from the former Franco-Britannic manager, Mike Moule. With the help of Claudia Lodi from the De Tomaso factory, he managed to clarify the history behind the double chassis number. An official period document from the factory showed the list of all 14 factory group 4 with their chassis numbers. On that document, the #2824 appears with another number #2342 in brackets. Claudia Lodi confirmed that there were two chassis numbers attached to that car but could not find out the reason why the factory did that. Mike Moule also confirmed that Franco-Britannic did not know the actual chassis number of the car was not #2342 but #2824 at that time, and that the factory re-stamped it prior delivery.

The history of the double chassis number is thus clear and documented. It is important to note that most of the racing history of the car will appear with #2342.

This De Tomaso Pantera group 4 has known a great racing career (see entire racing history under the pictures). During its European racing history with Franco-Britannic between 1972 and 1974, it raced in Le Mans, Montlhéry, Dijon and Paris. It was then sold to Bob Grossman and exported to the US in 1974. It raced in the Trans-Am 500, in the world championship of manufacturers in Watkins Glen, in the 12 hours of Sebring. From 1976, and until 1980 it raced in the SCCA championship in the USA.

It was then bought by a dealer in 1985 when it was abandoned and had not raced for years. It then knew several owners in the US before being purchased by Dick Lasselle in 1993. He had the car restored an entered it in vintage racing (SVRA and HSR championships) with top results. It always finished in the top two of its class in every race it entered. It even did a first overall in a SVRA race in Watkins Glen in 2003 (ahead of Porsche 906, 908 and Lola T70’s), and at Limerock in 2010 (fastest lap)

This is an awesome car, extremely efficient and reliable at the same time. The engine has only been used for 5 hours of racing. It has been dynoed at 567 HP with a single Holley carb. In 2001, the ZF gearbox has been rebuilt by Rick Bell Motorsports (Rick has been the driver of the car in most vintage events) and the engine has been fully restored by a Nascar engine builder. Many upgrades have been added to the engine to get more horsepower and torque, but also to improve the reliability. A lightweight crank has been fitted, as well as Aussie Cleveland heads, a Victor Jr intake or titanium valves. The engine has been dynoed at 491 HP and 477 ft/pounds of torque at 5.400 rpms. The power peak is at 7.500 rpms with 567 HP. Regarding the reliability, as the cooling is one of the weakest point on the Pantera, a huge work has been carried out during several years to solve the problem definitely. The firm Evans cooling system has built a custom cooling system for the Pantera. Is it made of a 5 stages dry sump oil pump, a liquid to liquid oil cooler, a special aluminum radiator, a special water pump and a custom aluminum coolant lines. With a proper coolant, the car never overheats whatever the race and weather conditions.

This factory group 4 Pantera is probably one of the most important. It is one the only to have been raced in Europe and in the US, racing in Le Mans, or Watkins Glen for the world championship. The history is crystal clear, which is rare on a race car, it has never been damaged, and is currently in its original specs, with its Girling brakes, and alloy doors, bonnets and rear deck lid. It is the ideal car to enter any major vintage racing event such as Le Mans Classic, the French Tour Auto, the Spa 6 hours, the Monterey historic races or Goodwood.

It has to be pointed out that for the 2012 edition of Le Mans Classic, it will be the 40th anniversary of the first race of a Pantera in Le Mans. It will be a unique event the future owner can of course race in with this awesome Pantera group 4.

For our customers who would like to race the car in Europe, we can assist them in getting FIA HTP papers, which will be a mere formality for such a car. We have noted that few modifications will have to be carried out to get the HTP : a new FIA rollcage, and new seats, shoulder harnesses and fire extinguishers.

The car is immediately available in the US. It will come with a comprehensive file of documents showing the history. The price includes shipping in any European country as well as European taxes.

This is an unique automobile , given that its bodywork has been beautifully crafted from pure copper sheet. The standard of workmanship is the finest we have ever seen and is polished to perfection.For the vintage Rolls-Royce collector searching for an unique and highly glamorous , sporting Rolls-Royce from the great period of automobile design this is an unparallelled opportunity.The chassis appears to have done very little mileage and is in pristine condition .Within the last two years 130XJ has had an entire engine rebuild , including a new clylinder head.During its time with us we have driven the car several thousand miles trouble free.

40/50 hp 7,668 cc overhead valve, aluminium head, in-line six-cylinder engine, four-speed manual transmission, four-wheel mechanical drum brakes with servo assist, front and rear semi-elliptical suspension. Wheelbase: 150"

- Rolls-Royce Foundation documentation
- Meticulously crafted unique one-off all-copper body by Brockman
- Proven Phantom II mechanicals with numbers-matching engine/chassis

Rolls-Royce introduced the Phantom II in 1929 as an evolutionary replacement for the Phantom I, or New Phantom as it was then known. Without any increase in price, the Phantom had been radically redesigned, resulting in a very fine car having little in common with its predecessor other than the cylinder bore and stroke dimensions. Most notable was the revised rear suspension now comprised of semi-elliptics front and rear (the rear ones being underslung) thereby reducing the height of the car. The engine was fundamentally the same though fitted with a new cross-flow head and a self-cleaning oil filter which was scraped clean by a novel mechanism connected to the clutch linkage. The engine, clutch and gearbox were now one unit, and centralised chassis lubrication was offered for the first time. This most certainly lightened the work load of the chauffeur or mechanic who had to lubricate no fewer than 84 points on the Phantom I every one thousand miles!

Chassis 130XJ was delivered to Barker & Co., Ltd. by road on 1 March, 1930. According to Rolls-Royce Foundation records, instructions included the installation of springs for a Pullman Limousine deVille and “used for extensive Continental touring.” Extra was charged for silver-plated fittings including radiator shutters. Little else is known about its intervening history, though the car has been owned by notable collectors James C. Leake, Oklahoma (1973), Michael L. Shinn, Colorado (1982), and Millard W. Newman, Florida (1986), from whom it was acquired by the Hooper Corporate Collection.

It is unknown exactly when this right-hand drive, long-wheelbase car was fitted with new coachwork, reputed to have been constructed by Dick Brockman & Company, Reading, United Kingdom. Brockman was a small coachbuilder that primarily bodied Rolls-Royce and Bentley automobiles during 1924-1937. The remarkable body is of solid copper – it is polished and not painted, requiring meticulous installation. It must be perfectly constructed so as not to reveal any imperfections It is the only Rolls-Royce ever produced with a solid copper body. . The engine remains the one with which the car was first delivered in 1930. The interior and dash are of wood construction, and the green leather seats exhibit a patina that lets one know that this car is meant to be used and driven. For collectors in search of something truly unique, what better choice than a copper-bodied Phantom II Rolls-Royce?
