This collaboration was undoubtedly a success, with McLaren claiming one Constructors' World Championship and three Drivers' titles before the two manufacturers parted ways for 2015. The venture also prospered beyond the racetrack when, in 2003, the two companies crafted a supercar-McLaren's first venture into road vehicles since its iconic F1. rnrnMaking use of Mercedes-Benz's contemporary design language and the advanced engineering at McLaren's Woking factory, the SLR was born. With massive power from the Mercedes-Benz-built 5.4-litre supercharged V-8, the flagship boasted a 208 mph top speed. Yet this was still a thoroughly usable grand tourer, with the front-mid engine layout that enhanced chassis balance also allowing for a spacious cabin and commodious boot. rnrnIn 2006, Mercedes-Benz introduced the 722 Edition-named in deference to the number emblazoned on the side of the 300 SLR that Stirling Moss drove to an utterly commanding victory in the 1955 Mille Miglia. With over 300 modified components, the 722 Edition was a true upgrade. Power rose from 617 to 641 horsepower, which dropped the 0 to 60 time to 3.6 seconds. The ride height was lowered by 10 millimetres, 19-inch light-alloy wheels were fitted to house larger brake discs, and a new front splitter increased downforce. As for the interior, suede and carbon-fibre replaced much of the leather and aluminium trim to give a sportier feel. Only 150 of these incredible machines were ever built.rnrnThe 722 Edition offered here was delivered in April 2007 to Abu Dhabi, finished in Crystal Antimon Grey Metallic over a Black and Anthracite Exclusive leather interior. The SLR has been sparingly driven and accordingly shows only 11,441 kilometres at the time of cataloguing. Among the most exclusive supercars of the modern era, one that blends blistering performance with true long-legged comfort, this SLR 722 Edition is most certainly worthy of joining any distinguished collection.rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.

911 S

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Shift Online: Europe and Middle East event, 23 - 28 April 2025. rnOffered Without Reserve | ?130,000 - ?170,000 EUR rnrnFrom the first year of production of the 911 SrnOriginally equipped with a 160-horsepower 1,991-cc flat-six and five-speed manual gearboxrnFinished in its factory-correct colour pairing of Silver Metallic over a Black leather interiorrn rnrn rnrnUnveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1963, the Porsche 911 is now one of the most iconic sports cars of all time. Initially dubbed the 901 (the designation was changed at the behest of Peugeot), the coupe entered production in 1964. The 911 began life with a 130-horsepower 2.0-litre flat-six engine. An enhanced variant became available in 1967: the 911 S Coupe.rnrnOutput was raised to 160 horsepower, while standard features included forged alloy wheels, adjustable dampers, ventilated disc brakes, a stiffer front anti-roll bar, and an additional anti-roll bar at the rear. Besides being faster, the new 'S' banished the understeer of previous 911 versions, much to the delight of enthusiastic drivers. Examples such as the one offered here are especially sought after among Porsche buyers.rnrnAn accompanying copy of a Certificate of Authenticity and Kardex sheet for chassis 308043S note that the 911 S was completed by the Zuffenhausen factory on 19 April 1967 and duly sold via Autohaus Krauss GmbH of Nurnberg. In its original configuration, the Porsche was finished in Silver Metallic over a Black leather interior and it was equipped with features including a Webasto heater, Blaupunkt Koln radio with antenna and loudspeaker, and an outside thermometer. Its first owner was Georg Bieber, also of Nurnberg. rnrnThe car's history is not documented until it was discovered in the United Stares and offered for sale as a total loss restoration project without a drivetrain in 2013-before this time the chassis number may have been restamped, while the production number found on the lower dashboard was changed. Subsequently returning to its native Germany, where it was acquired by its consigning owner, the Porsche was restored by marque specialist Vehicle Experts of Salzburg in Austria. During this restoration, a non-original engine and gearbox was fitted and the crankcase was then stamped with the correct numbers, while some replacement panels were fitted. Visual weld marks suggest that large parts of the car have been repaired, and it has been rebuilt with body parts from more than one car.rnrnArguably one of the most coveted and desirable forms of the earlier 911, this 'S' version presents an intriguing opportunity for further improvement.rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.

According to an accompanying copy of the Kardex factory data sheet (available to view on file), the car was finished in Aga Blue while the interior was trimmed with Black leatherette featuring Pepita houndstooth cloth inserts and specified with a Webasto heater. rnrnSubsequently exported to the United States, the 911 is believed to have been damaged during the early 1990s-with a Californian title issued in 1995 recording the car as salvaged. The Porsche was duly restored and repainted, its Beverly Hills-based owner retaining possession until 2002. After passing through a couple more American custodians, the car returned to Germany. It was bought by the consigning owner in 2014. rnrnToday, chassis number 302869 has been repainted in a dark blue hue that complements its factory-correct Black leatherette and Pepita seats. Notably, this 911 retains its matching-numbers 2-litre flat-six engine making 130 horsepower via a five-speed manual transmission. An accompanying Andy Prill report notes that the car presents well but is in older restored condition, while requiring attention to panel gaps, headlining, missing trim, and other minor details. Accordingly, the car will require some recommissioning prior to use. rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.

911 Carrera RS

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Sealed Drop - April 2025 event, Bidding Open Now - Closes 30 April . rn?350,000 - ?450,000 GBP rnrnOne of only 117 Carrera RS 2.7 Tourings built to RHD specificationsrnOne of only five 2.7 RS' delivered new to Hong Kong, the only example finished in black                                     rnBare metal repaint managed by BS Motorsport in 2*number in the description* at a cost of over ?65,000rnFabulously equipped with red lettering, power windows, electric sunroof, sport seats, and limited slip differentialrn rnrnIt is said that from all of Porsche's 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Touring production, only sixty-two cars were finished in black, with only a handful of those being right-hand drive. This particular example was delivered new to Hong Kong, one of only five 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Touring delivered to the city and the only one in this colour scheme, in June of 1973. It was fabulously equipped from new, with red lettering to offset its black paintwork, driver's side outside mirror, power windows, electric sunroof, sport seats, and a limited slip differential. A 'Touring' in the truest sense, here was a Carrera RS 2.7 Touring equipped with all possible creature comforts on top of what was considered to be one of the finest sports cars of the dayrnrnThe Carrera RS 2.7 was eventually sold to Japan before moving to the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 1980s. As had happened to many pre-1973 911s at the time, the car was modified cosmetically to look like a later 911 (in the case of this car a slant-nose, turbo look), yet the car retained its identity throughout.rnrnPurchased by Dave Buhain of Los Angeles in 2001, he was able to confirm through Porsche's archive the car's true identity as a RS 2.7, verifying its production number under the dash, and thus embarked on a restoration in 2004 to return the car to its as-delivered state, using several unrestored Carrera RS 2.7 Tourings for reference along the way. All original RS 2.7 parts that remained with the car were retained and when parts needed to be sourced, only new old stock components were used. At this point a correct 2.7-litre engine case was sourced to be fitted to the car, as the original had been lost. Alongside this, where required, a number of genuine RS 2.7 body panels were sourced. Following completion of the restoration in 2007, the car was shown at Rennsport Reunion IV in October 2011.rnrnA resident of the UK for the last twelve years, this 2.7 RS has received further significant mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment from the marque specialists at BS Motorsports in Buckinghamshire from 2018 to 2019. Under their care, the car received a bare metal repaint and realignment of the front wings and the replacement of both the oil and fuel tanks. The chassis was placed onto a jig to ensure all body panels would be aligned for a factory-correct fit of all panels. When completed, this work totaled to over ?65,000 and invoices are available in the car's history file. Most recently, the car was entrusted to Canford Classics where it was fitted with correct rear seats, and four correct 1973-dated Fuchs wheels with four new tyres.rnrnUndoubtedly the most iconic model from Porsche's first generation of 911, it is the Carrera RS 2.7 that Porsche looked to for inspiration of all its water-cooled GT models which are now so incredibly desirable. A true blue-chip collectable, any Porsche collection is incomplete without a Carrera RS 2.7. This example would be a fabulous driver's car, equipped with all the right amenities for long-distance touring, and a seldom-seen colour only adds to its charm.

Most recognisable for a facelifted front end that improved aerodynamic performance, it is reported that just 51 examples were built. While they all left the factory in the base colour of Carrara White, the car offered here soon gained a far more menacing look. rnrnPurchased new in November 2001 by Freisinger Motorsport of Karlsruhe in Germany, the long-time marque specialist gave the 911 its competitive debut in the 2002 edition of the 24 Hours of Daytona. Most notably driven by 24 Hours of Le Mans victors Romain Dumas and Stephane Ortelli, the car surged from 47th on the grid to finish a fine 10th overall, also notching a class podium.rnrnFor its next outing, the 12 Hours of Sebring, the Porsche gained an unmistakable toothed livery that would last for the remainder of its front-line career. Wearing a broad smile that filled the mirrors of its rivals, the 911 went on to classify 2nd in class in the 24 Hours of Le Mans before enjoying its greatest success amid the ranks of the FIA GT Championship. Scoring six class wins in 2002, this car played a pivotal role in Ortelli claiming the N-GT crown as Freisinger Motorsport topped the Teams' standings to chalk its first international title. Following these achievements, Porsche wrote to congratulate Manfred Freisinger on the convincing win, noting the team's consistency-this letter is included in the car's history file. rnrnThe GT3 RS was retired from front-line duties at the end 2003 but Freisinger Motorsport kept hold of it for another decade. Having fitted a new exhaust system and a set of BBS wheels at a cost of ?22,485, the race team sold the car directly to the Munich-based consigning owner in September 2014. Please note, the 911 will require mechanical inspection prior to being driven.rnrnPresented today in white and appearing to retain its original shell, the Porsche is accompanied by its previous exhaust system and a Technical Passport issued by the organiser of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Automobile Club de l'Ouest. Therefore, this championship-winning 911 GT3 RS could soon enter the variety of historic endurance racing series for which it is eligible.rnrnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.

While the prominent side-strakes remained, the styling was updated for a late-1994 launch courtesy of new fixed headlamps, new taillights, plus the distinctive 18-inch spiral wheels supplied by Speedline. Revisions to the flat-12 engine resulted in a factory rating of 434 horsepower from 4,943 cc. Quick work of the five-speed gated manual gearbox could therefore return a 4.7-second sprint to 62 mph and a top speed of 196 mph.rnrnThe left-hand-drive example offered here was delivered new to Eberlein Ferrari in the German city of Kassel in April 1995, finished in the classic colour combination of Rosso Corsa over a Nero leather interior. Retained by its first owner for a decade, the F512 M surfaced for auction in June 2005 ahead of a stint in Monaco, where it was tended to by official Ferrari service centres Monaco Motors in July 2007 and Juan Auto Cannes in September 2012. The F512 M was subsequently registered from October 2015 in the United Kingdom. Under the care of two owners, the car visited Bob Houghton and Joe Macari for maintenance. Having sold in September 2019, the F512 M moved to the United Arab Emirates.rnrnDuring its time in the Middle East, the Ferrari was regularly maintained by Lap57 Garage of Dubai. Between November 2019 and March 2023, the fuel tank and throttle bodies were cleaned and the air mass sensor replaced, as were the crank and cam sensors, idler control valve, plus fuel pressure regulators. Upon a December 2022 trip to authorised Ferrari dealer Al Tayer Motors, the F512 M was recorded as showing 33,516 kilometres. rnrnPresented in its factory colour combination, this ultimate iteration of the Testarossa bloodline is accompanied by maintenance invoices and its owner's manual. rnrnDisplaying 34,610 kilometres at the time of cataloguing, this example of the last road-going Ferrari to sport a flat-12 engine is sure to entice collectors, who might wish to make the most of its long-legged grand touring credentials. rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Milan event, 22 May 2025. rn?1,500,000 - ?1,800,000 EUR rnrnThe final DBR9 chassis constructed by Prodrive between 2005 and 2008rnEntered two rounds of the 2010 FIA GT1 World Championship, scoring a 5th place finish at Silverstone; contested the prestigious 1000 Km of SparnPowered by a howling 5,935-cc all-alloy V-12 engine that delivers 625 brake horsepower via a six-speed sequential Xtrac transaxlernJust two Danish keepers from new; in present ownership since late-2015rnEligible for historic race series such as Peter Auto's Endurance Racing Legends and Masters Endurance Legendsrn rnrnThe DBR9 offered here marked the end of production for the sonorous and much-loved GT1 racer, with this 2008 example being the last of the reported 17 cars completed by Prodrive. As signified by a three-digit designation, chassis number 109 was destined for a customer team. Bought by Danish driver Jan Struve, the car was campaigned by Fischer Racing. Thanks to a partnership with Aston Martin for the inaugural FIA GT1 World Championship season in 2010, the entry ran as Young Driver AMR. This quasi-factory status granted access to Works drivers Tomas Enge and Stefan Mucke alongside incumbent Christoffer Nygaard.rnrnFollowing two test days at Paul Ricard, during which long-serving Aston Matin racer Darren Turner enjoyed time behind the wheel, DBR9/109 made its competitive debut in Abu Dhabi in April 2010. The car wearing a red and white livery, Nygaard partnered Mucke. The pair scored a promising 4th in the qualifying heat before steering issues curtailed their main race. rnrnThe Aston Martin remerged the following month for the Tourist Trophy at Silverstone. A suspension fault scuppered qualifying but, on home soil, the car revelled in the track's fast, sweeping turns. Despite Mucke starting 23rd and suffering a puncture thanks to a knock from Romain Grosjean's Ford GT, the DBR9 finished 6th on the road and was less than a second behind 4th. A final classification of 5th was recorded after the sister Young Driver AMR DBR9 was disqualified. rnrnLater in May, the car rolled out to take on the famed 1000 Km of Spa. Having lined up 29th on the multi-class grid, Nygaard lost the rear at speed on lap 82 through the famous Blanchimont corner to spin into the tyre wall. While the Dane emerged unscathed, the front-end of the DBR9 was destroyed on what would turn out to be its last front-line outing. rnrnFischer Racing held onto chassis number 109 and used its other DBR9 to build a jig and map reference points. Come late-2011, the front bulkhead was replaced, the car rebuilt, and a Gulf livery applied before taking part in a shakedown session in Spain. Three years later, the 5.9-litre V-12 was repaired by Prodrive. An accompanying parts invoice for ?12,763 includes the cost of new trumpets, water and oil pump, exhaust valves, plus airbox. The car was then acquired by its second and current owner towards the end of 2015. rnrnToday, the DBR9 is presented in green and yellow colours reminiscent of the Aston Martin Racing entry from the 2006 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It also benefits from a new data-logging system and retains in-built air jacks and a water pre-heater. rnChassis number 109 could be ideally suited to Peter Auto's Endurance Racing Legends (including the Le Mans Classic support race) and the Masters Endurance Legends series once inspected by the FIA and a Historic Technical Passport secured. rnrnrnPlease note that this lot is subject to VAT on the full purchase price (both on the Hammer Price and Buyer's Premium).

Austin-Healey

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Shift Online: Europe and Middle East event, 23 - 28 April 2025. rn?50,000 - ?75,000 EUR rnrnThe classic Big Healey in practical 2+2 configurationrnInvited to join the Mille Miglia in 2021 and eligible for future participation (subject to entry criteria and inspection)rnPowered by its matching-numbers 2.6-litre inline-six engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission with overdrivernCompleted by the factory in May 1957 and delivered new to Jacksonville, Florida in left-hand-drive formrnOriginally equipped with optional features including a heater, laminated windscreen, and wire wheelsrnSubject to over ?19,000-worth of cosmetic and mechanical improvements at the instruction of the consigning owner between 2013 and 2016rnAccompanied by a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust (BMIHT) certificate and a copy of a FIVA Identity Card issued in 2014; offered with an invitation to join the Automobile Club de Monacorn rnrn rnrnIntroduced for 1956, the Austin-Healey 100-6 improved on the Big Healey formula with a longer wheelbase and-as its name suggested-a new six-cylinder engine. This 102-horsepower, 2,639-cubic-centimeter powerplant was paired with a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. rnrnAs shown by this 1957 example, the 100-6 was also offered in 2+2 configuration. The BN4, as it was known, added rear seats that made driving with more than one passenger possible. This larger and more powerful model retained the classic sports car spirit that made its immediate predecessor, the four-cylinder Austin-Healey 100, a success on both sides of the Atlantic.rnrnAccording to the accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, this 100-6 BN4 was completed by the factory on 10 May 1957. A US-specification car delivered to Jacksonville, Florida, it was built with equipment including wire wheels, overdrive transmission, a laminated windscreen, heater, a speedometer reading in mph, and standard tyres. It was originally finished in duotone Florida Green and Ivory White over a black interior, with matching black convertible top. rnrnWhile much of this Austin-Healey's early life is not documented, at some point the car's colour was changed to white. Eventually ending up in the hands of the consigning owner, an enthusiastic collector and keen road rally driver, they spent over ?19,000 on cosmetic and mechanical improvement between 2013 and 2016 (invoices available to view on file). The car was invited to participate in the 2020 and 2021 editions of the Mille Miglia-known as one of the most beautiful races in the world-and remains eligible for future participation (subject to entry criteria and inspection). This is a lovely and useable example of a car that can be enjoyed on future rallies to come. rnrnTo help maximise the experience of the concerning buyer, the consignor offers to invite the new owner to become a member of the Automobile Club of Monaco, the exclusive and tradition-rich club that organises-among other classic car events-the Monaco Grand Prix, Monaco Rallye Historique, and more.  rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.

AMG GT Black Series Project One

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Shift Online: Europe and Middle East event, 23 - 28 April 2025. rn?450,000 - ?550,000 EUR rnrnHighly limited-edition variant of the track-focused AMG GT Black SeriesrnExclusively available to AMG One hypercar allocation holders at launchrnSilver and black livery features Three-Pointed Stars and teal accents inspired by Mercedes-AMG's 2019 Formula 1 World Championship-winning W10 race carrnTwin-turbocharged, flat-plane crankshaft 4-litre V-8 engine delivers 730 horsepowerrnOne French owner from new; shows only 2,141 kilometres at the time of cataloguingrnBenefits from a February 2025 service carried out by Mercedes-Benz VitrollesrnAccompanied by a first aid kit, car cover, tyre repair kit, and camber-adjustment platesrn rnrn rnrnReserved for its most performance-focused models, the Black Series treatment was bestowed by Mercedes-Benz for a sixth-and to date, most recent-time upon the AMG GT coupe. While the track day hero gained far more aggressive aerodynamics, a drag-reduction system, unique suspension, and incorporated greater use of carbon fibre, the headline change was found under the bonnet. The engineers in Affalterbach revised the twin-turbocharged 4-litre V-8 to bless the powerplant with a flat-, rather than cross-plane, crankshaft. A new firing order and higher rev limit resulted in 730 horsepower being sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission for a 3.2-second launch to 62 mph and a 202 mph top speed. rnrnHowever, prized customers could still climb higher by placing an order for an AMG GT Black Series Project One Edition. This special model was exclusively offered to those who had secured an allocation for the Mercedes-AMG One hybrid hypercar. It is believed that approximately only 40 were ultimately built with half finding their way to the United States.rnrnBy contrast, the Project One Edition offered here was ordered new to France. Specified in High-Tech Silver, which graduates to Obsidian Black towards the rear of the car and is adorned in Mercedes-Benz's Three-Pointed Star logos plus teal accents, the livery paid tribute to the W10. Aboard the Formula 1 car, Lewis Hamilton won the 2019 Drivers' World Championship as Mercedes-AMG chalked its sixth of a record eight consecutive Constructors' titles. rnrnDelivered in January 2021, this Project One Edition has remained under the care of the consigning owner from new. Fitted with the AMG Track Package, the car is equipped with four-point Schroth harnesses, a fire extinguisher, and titanium rear roll cage. In February 2025, the car was treated to a service, 178-point inspection, and geometry check by official Mercedes-Benz dealer de Willermin Vitrolles at a cost of ?762 (invoice available on file). rnrnSparingly driven throughout its life, the car's odometer displayed just 2,141 kilometres at the time of cataloguing. A first aid kit, car cover, tyre repair kit, and a set of plates to optimise camber settings for each track accompany this incredibly rare AMG GT Black Series Project One Edition. rnrnrnPlease note that this lot is subject to VAT on the full purchase price (both on the Hammer Price and Buyer's Premium). Please note that due to VAT requirements this lot may only be sold for export and trade, interested private buyers, please contact RMS directly. rnrnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.

Ford

Mustang Shelby GT500

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Shift Online: Europe and Middle East event, 23 - 28 April 2025. rn$200,000 - $250,000 USD rnrnAn officially licensed reproduction of Eleanor, the 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 that starred in the 2000 film remake of Gone in 60 Seconds alongside Nicholas CagernBuilt by Classic Recreations of Oklahoma over the course of 2,500 hours; new bodyshell completed by Dynacorn under licence from the Ford Motor CompanyrnPowered by a 410 cubic-inch (6.7-litre) V-8 engine rated at 545 horsepowerrnHollywood touches include a disarmed nitrous system, red boost button, and Gone in 60 Seconds badgingrnTechnical highlights include front and rear coilover suspension, a Tremec manual gearbox, and side-exit exhausts rn rnrn rnrnTo save his brother from a vengeful British gangster, Randall 'Memphis' Raines and his crew must steal 50 high-end cars within just 72 hours. Each vehicle assigned a female codename, 49 are delivered on time as law enforcement threaten to interrupt the entire operation. But one old flame, Eleanor, proves much more troublesome. rnrnDespite Nicholas Cage leading the cast alongside Angelina Jolie, Robert Duvall, Christopher Ecclestone, and even Vinnie Jones, the star of the 2000 film Gone in 60 Seconds is undoubtably Eleanor-a 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500. The Chip Foose-modified muscle car, which Raines had failed to steal previously, most memorably evades the police with a gravity-defying, slow-motion jump across the Vincent Thomas Bridge in Los Angeles Harbor. rnrnWhile the movie has enjoyed cult status rather than being a box office hit, Eleanor certainly earned her place in car culture to spawn a variety of imitations. Between 2007 and 2009, only Classic Recreations of Yukon, Oklahoma was officially licensed by Denise Halicki (widow of Henry Blight Halicki, the driving force behind 1974's original Gone in 60 Seconds) to reproduce the on-screen hero. rnrnFinished in the synonymous Eleanor colour scheme of Pepper Grey featuring two full-length Black racing stripes and a black leather interior, the example offered here was completed by Classic Recreations in early 2008 over the course of 2,500 hours. The car, which wears serial number 0019, was specified with a new bodyshell. This is a complete reproduction of a 1967 Mustang Fastback built by Dynacorn under the licence of the Ford Motor Company. Beneath the skin rests a mighty 410 cubic-inch (6.7-litre) Keith Craft Racing V-8 that is fed by a mass flow fuel injection system. Exhaling through side-exit exhausts, the engine delivers a brutish 545 horsepower via a Tremec manual transmission. rnrnSpecial Eleanor touches include the 17-inch Phil Schmidt Engineering wheels, Gone in 60 Seconds badges, and the small matter of a disarmed nitrous system that would be activated by the Go-Baby-Go red button on the gear level. The car also features Scat Rally Series 1000 seats, five-point harnesses, a woodgrain aluminium steering wheel, 1967-correct Mustang Deluxe door panels, dashboard, and trim, plus air conditioning and electric mirrors. rnrnAn homage to one of the most famous cars in modern cinema history, and with the official blessing of the movie's makers, this Mustang Eleanor by Classic Recreations is certain to attract plenty of attention wherever it goes. rnrnrnPlease note this lot has entered the UAE on a temporary import bond, which must be cancelled either by exporting the lot outside of the UAE on an approved Bill of Lading with supporting customs documentation or by paying the applicable VAT and import duties to have the lot remain in the UAE. rnrnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.

Rolls-Royce

40-50 Silver Ghost

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Cliveden House event, 8 July 2025. rn?200,000 - ?300,000 GBP rnrnA desirable Colonial-specification Silver Ghost with four-speed gearboxrnRetains its handsome original coachworkrnUsed during World War I by His Majesty King George V to inspect the Western FrontrnOffered directly from single enthusiast ownership for over 35 yearsrn rnrnChassis number 64RB is among the rarefied few pre-World War I parallel bonnet Silver Ghosts to retain its original coachwork, in many cases long since discarded in favor of recreation bodies of varying quality. In this instance, the car happily still claims its original body, a magnificent formal limousine by Hooper & Company, finished in black with maroon fine lines and fitted to one of the uprated 'Colonial' chassis with four-speed transmission, as noted on its original build records, a configuration which is much sought after by modern enthusiasts.rnrnThe car was originally delivered to Mortimer L. Schiff, a prominent New York banker, also remembered as a pioneering advocate of the modern Scouting movement. Given the car's specification it is likely that Mr Schiff intended it for touring use in continental Europe; indeed, it was delivered to him in France, as is noted in correspondence included within the history file. In September 1914, with the Great War quickening in pace, Schiff's Silver Ghost was commandeered by the British Military Authorities in France. In its war service, it was used by His Majesty King George V for inspections on the Western Front, bearing War Office registration M.1728, as seen in photographs published in John Fasal's well-known reference, The Edwardian Rolls-Royce-and as noted by commemorative plates still present on the coachwork.rnrnAt the war's end, chassis number 64RB was included in a Ministry of Munitions auction held at Earls Court on 12 November 1919. Subsequent owners are recorded by Mr Fasal as a Lt. Col. Donahue of London, presumably the successful bidder at the auction, followed by P. Fontanels and A. Portarella of Spain in 1979.rnrnThe car was subsequently acquired in 1979 by Alfred Essex of London, then by the present owner, a long-time collector and connoisseur of very original early automobiles, in 1989. It has since been maintained enthusiastically, with assorted pieces of interesting correspondence and invoices included within the file, including charming letters between the owner and Mr Essex as they negotiated the acquisition of the car. It retains such charming features as C.A.V. Model D headlights, while the engine appears to have been replaced by another correct unit earlier in life. Furthermore, in current ownership the car has been properly VCC dated as a 1914 model, with paperwork on file, noting the only modifications having been a dynamo and starter for ease of use. After a period of static display, the Rolls-Royce has been returned to running condition, but bidders are encouraged to perform a mechanical inspection prior to returning the car to the road. rnrnAn extremely charming, historic parallel-bonnet Ghost, this car, with appropriate recommissioning after years on display, would be enjoyable in any number of events.rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Cliveden House event, 8 July 2025. rn?385,000 - ?425,000 GBP rnrnAn unmissable opportunity to acquire the only DB4 factory prototype of its kindrnFeatures one-off bodywork that was designed in-house by Aston MartinrnThe personal car of the wife of famed Aston Martin Lagonda boss David BrownrnNotably retains its matching-numbers straight-six enginernPreviously restored by Aston Martin Works; requires further recommissioningrnPresented in Almond Green over Fern Green leather upholsteryrnBoasts a fascinating history documented by a file containing a copy of its factory build sheet; further accompanied by a steering wheel and spare wheelrn rnrnThis factory prototype, with its one-off bodywork and experimental chassis, marks a fascinating chapter in Aston Martin history. Development for the Mark III's successor began in 1954 with a focus on a new perimeter chassis and suspension design. Dubbed DP114, the initial prototype was completed in 1956 but was scrapped after testing. A new prototype emerged in 1957, chassis number DP114/2, offered here. It too featured a tubular perimeter chassis developed by Aston Martin engineer Harold Beach, but with bodywork styled by in-house designer Frank Feeley. The suspension had evolved to incorporate front wishbones and a de Dion arrangement at the rear.rnrnAfter much testing, Aston Martin sought input from Touring Superleggera to stiffen the body shell. When presented with DP114/2 for further development, the Italian coachbuilder pulled back, insisting that a platform chassis be devised. This left DP114/2 a prototype abandoned, as is prominently written on the car's build sheet. Having hastily developed a new platform chassis at Touring's behest, Aston Martin had no further use for DP114/2 so it became the personal transport of Mrs Brown, wife of Aston Martin Lagonda's chairman David. rnrnThe build sheet on file indicates DP114/2 was first registered on 23 August 1957. Featuring a white body with a blue top and blue trim, it earned the nickname Walls Ice Cream Van in reference to the well-known ice cream manufacturer's corporate colours. Notes at the bottom of the document delineate the experimental perimeter chassis and suspension setup, along with special DB hypoid unit, special exhaust, special fuel tank, and special one-off bodywork. The engine and gearbox were noted as basically MK III.rnrnMrs Brown would drive the car until 1962, after which it was acquired by a Mr Sarant. Also noted as a previous owner is Group Captain William Dennis David of the Ministry of Defence. Having led Royal Airforce squadrons in World War II, earning the rank of Commander of the Order of the British Empire and the Distinguished Flying Cross, he acquired the car in 1966. rnrnBy the 1970s, DP114/2 had fallen into disrepair and would be acquired by former Aston Martin bench fitter Ivor Howells for a sum of ?600. With a parts catalogue, workshop manual, a copy of the car's original works specifications, and replacement components all provided by Aston Martin Dorset, Howell would painstakingly restore DP114/2 over the course of two years, starting in May 1977. He took it to the Knebworth House Classic Motor Show the following year and to a Newport Pagnell concours in 1980, among other events. rnrnIn the 1980s, owner James Joseph Murray had DP114/2 converted for competition use. It was homologated with the FIA as a prototype GT to compete in historic rallies. DP114/2 would win its class at the First Pirelli Classic Marathon and Bridgend Ford Directors Rally Stages in 1988. A subsequent owner campaigned the car in the Pirelli Classic the following year before Aston Martin Lagonda would buy it back. rnrnIn 1990, Aston Martin Works at Newport Pagnell undertook a comprehensive, five-year restoration to the highest standards using original drawings recovered from the engineering department. Intended as a showcase for the site's capabilities, DP114/2 was displayed at the 1993 Louis Vuitton Concours d'Elegance in London and then at the 1995 Coys International Historic Festival at Silverstone. BBC's Top Gear featured it in 1999, and the car would be the subject of magazine spreads throughout the early 2000s.rnrnIn 2005, a subsequent owner returned DP114/2 to Aston Martin Works for recommissioning. Finished at this time in its current colour of Almond Green, the interior and boot compartment were fully refurbished in Fern Green leather with matching green carpets and seatbelts. The braking and suspension systems were overhauled, and the paint and bodywork corrected. Service invoices for the meticulous work total nearly ?35,000. rnrnImportantly, the car still retains its numbers-matching engine. Although it could benefit once again from recommissioning, DP114/2 will forever be of supreme interest to marque enthusiasts and collectors of notable British automobiles, thanks to its fascinating and consequential historyrnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.

DB2-4

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Cliveden House event, 8 July 2025. rn?140,000 - ?160,000 GBP rnrnOne of only 551 examples of the DB2/4 Mk III produced between 1957 and 1959rnFirst of the road-going DB lineage to gain the trademark Aston Martin winged grille and instrument binnaclernRight-hand-drive car delivered new to London; equipped by the factory with overdrive and front disc brakesrnPowered by a 2.9-litre straight-six engine capable of 162 horsepowerrnOriginally finished in Pacific Blue over Off White hide; now presented in an attractive shade of light green with a tan leather interiorrnAccompanied by a copy of its factory build sheet and jackrn rnrnIntroduced at the 1957 Geneva Salon, the Mk III represented the final and most highly developed iteration of the DB2/4 platform. With its elegant wing-shaped grille taken from the DB3S sportscar and a redesigned dashboard, the Mk III was immediately distinct from its predecessors. Although production ended in 1959 with the arrival of the DB4, this sleek design combination was retained-eventually becoming a trademark of the DB line. rnrnEmphatic changes also laid underneath the bonnet of the new Mk III. Thanks to Tadek Marek's revisions to W.O. Bentley's 2.9-litre straight-six-which introduced redesigned manifolds, high-lift camshafts, and a revised crankshaft-the power output of the Mk III was upped to 162 horsepower. According to a 1959 Road & Track review, the Mk III was undoubtedly a car for connoisseurs. rnrnChassis number AM300/3/1632 was delivered on 19 July 1958 to The Eveton Stud in London via the prestigious Aston Martin dealer H W Motors and registered with the plate 100 GPD. According to a copy of the factory build sheet (available to view on file), the car was finished in Pacific Blue over Off White Connolly leather and equipped with an overdrive and front disc brakes. The Mk III first changed ownership sometime between 1959 and mid-1966, when it was acquired by a C R Boast. According to the build sheet, which traces the car's service history until 1966, Boast returned the car to an Aston Martin dealer in August of that year for overhauling and reassembling. Subsequently, the Mk III was bought by the London-based B Morrell.rnrnLittle is known about the following owners of chassis number AM300/3/1632, though it is believed that the car was exported late in 1983. While it is unclear where the Mk III was transported to, it was later registered in the Netherlands in 2004 and is thought to have remained there until 2017, when it was acquired by the consignor in Germany. At the point of sale, the Aston Martin was finished in light metallic green over a tan interior, a combination it retains today.rnrnThis well-presented Mk III would make a wonderful companion for an enthusiast seeking one of the earlier iterations of the Aston Martin DB bloodline.rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Cliveden House event, 8 July 2025. rn?580,000 - ?680,000 GBP rnrnOne of just 84 examples of the DB5 Convertible built in right-hand-drive formrnOriginally configured in Platinum over Black Connolly leather with a Black soft-top roof; now presented in metallic Silver Birch over red hidernDelivered new to London; owned by the consignor since 1999rnReplacement engine enlarged to 4.2 litres by Aston Engineering in 2008 as part of work exceeding ?21,000; straight-six is paired with a retrofitted five-speed manual transmissionrnAccompanied by a spare engine block, Aston Martin Heritage Trust certificate, copy of the factory build sheet, invoices, tool roll, jack, and spare wheelrn rnrnThe sporting DB4 served Aston Martin magnificently across its five series but in 1963, the time came to introduce the revised DB5. Regarded by many as the marque's finest Italianate-era entry, once again the model made use of Touring of Milan's lightweight tubular Superleggera construction method that supported alloy body panels. Underneath the beautiful skin, the famed straight-six designed by Tadek Marek grew from 3,670 cc up to 4 litres to produce a healthy 282 brake horsepower. To enjoy the driving experience even more, between 1963 and 1965, the Newport Pagnell factory built 123 DB5 Convertibles. With 39 of those configured for use abroad, a mere 84 were completed in right-hand-drive form suited for British roads. rnrnSuch an intoxicating recipe found favour with the great and the good. A broad spectrum of past and present famous owners of the rare DB5 Convertible reportedly included Peter Sellers, Princess Magaret, Prince Michael of Kent, Elle Macpherson, Ralph Lauren, and, perhaps less surprisingly, former Aston Martin boss Sir David Brown. rnrnAccording to the accompanying copy of the Vehicle Heritage Certificate issued in April 2013 by the Aston Martin Heritage Trust, chassis number DB5C/1509/R offered here was delivered on 10 July 1964 to a dealership in Brooklands. This right-hand-drive car was configured in Platinum to complement a Black soft-top roof and an interior trimmed with Black Connolly leather. Originally, a 4-litre straight-six was paired with a three-speed Borg Warner automatic transmission. The first owner is listed as Clearmount Limited of New Bond Street, London.rnrnFrom November 1987, the DB5 Convertible was owned by Mr Philip Barton-Wright from Grays in Essex. He kept the car for almost 13 years before it was acquired by the Germany-based consignor. However, before taking delivery of chassis number DB5C/1509/R in late-1999, he tasked The Aston Workshop of Beamish in County Durham with a major overhaul. Most notably, after the bodyshell was acid-treated, the car was changed to its current metallic Silver Birch hue. In addition, the dashboard was restored, a new black mohair roof and wire wheels were fitted, the gearbox and rear axle rebuilt, the carburettors refreshed, and uprated anti-roll bars equipped as part of work totalling ?48,000 (invoice available to view on file).rnrnSince completion, the DB5 Convertible has formed part of the seller's pre- and post-war Aston Martin collection. In 2008, the DB5 did return to the United Kingdom ahead of an extensive rebuild of the replacement engine. Aston Engineering of Derby was tasked with the overhaul, which notably included boring out the straight-six to desirable 4.2-litre capacity. In addition to installing new pistons supplied by Cosworth, the cylinder head was refurbished, the camshaft covers powder coated, and the three SU carburettors rebuilt at a cost of ?12,530. A further ?8,609 was spent with the marque specialist to cover the costs of a replacement clutch and flywheel, a service of the brakes, and greasing the chassis. rnrnThe Aston Martin is notably accompanied by a restamped spare engine block in addition to a jack, tool roll, plus spare wheel. Currently featuring an uprated engine that is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, this DB5 Convertible could offer a thrilling open-air driving experience to its next owner. rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.
