To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Le Mans event, 9 June 2023. Offered Without Reserve | â¬400,000 - â¬500,000 EUR One of just three M482 chassis constructed by Le Mans-based Automobiles Jean RondeauDriven by endurance racing legends Henri Pescarolo and Thierry Boutsen at the 1983 24 Hours of Le Mans Impeccably preserved and restored by former Rondeau technician Philippe Belou over a 20-year periodAccompanied by FIA HTP paperwork and spares packageEligible for historic racing events including Le Mans Classic and Classic 24 Hour at Daytona As the 24 Hours of Le Mans celebrates its centenary, few stories from its illustrious past are more compelling than that of Jean Rondeau. A Le Mans native, the Frenchman established his fledgling race team in 1976, producing Sports Prototypes bearing the name of his sponsor, Inaltera, a French interior furnishings company. Class wins at the Circuit de la Sarthe ensued in 1976 and 1977, though at that point the departure of the sponsor resulted in the teamâs name changing simply to Rondeau. A further Le Mans class win followed in 1979 before Jean-Pierre Jaussaud and Rondeau himself piloted their M379B to a memorable overall victory in 1980; the firstâand likely only everâtime the famous French race had been won by a driver in a car bearing their own name. Designed jointly by chassis expert Don Foster and aerodynamicist Max Sardou, the M482 was the first Rondeau to have been conceived specifically as a Group C car. It represented the companyâs first foray into both monocoque design and ground effect technology. Its twin-Venturi tunnelsâincorporating lessons learned from Sardouâs earlier Lola T600 designânecessitated an outlandish âtriple sponsonâ rear bodywork section. A long-stroke 3.9-litre Ford DFV engine operated as a stressed unit in conjunction with a five-speed Hewland VG5 gearbox, while double-wishbone suspension was employed conventionally at the front and via rocker arms at the rear. An ignominious debut for the M482 at the 1982 6 Hours of Silverstone, however, alongside ongoing budgetary issues led to the team reluctantly withdrawing from racing mid-season; the entire M482 project was sold to Ford Concessionnaires France. Two further chassis, including 002âthe car offered hereâwere constructed in early-1983, with all three cars readied to race at Le Mans in June. Boasting a formidable driver line upâincluding then three-time Le Mans winner, Henri Pescarolo, and future Formula 1 star, Thierry Boutsen, at the wheel of chassis 002âthe team qualified strongly, with this car leading the charge in an excellent 16th position. However, the race proved a different story, with two sister cars retiring due to engine maladies after just 12 and 90 laps respectively. Thereafter, the teamâs hopes rested with chassis 002, although regrettably yet another engine failure eliminated the car just after half-distance.Remarkably, Le Mans would prove to be both this carâs race debut and its swansong. Initially the car was retained by Rondeau for modification to accept one of the all-conquering Porsche 956 powertrains, but once again funding was lacking and the project was reluctantly shelved. Thereafter it was acquired, appropriately, by former Rondeau team member Philippe Belou, in whose custody it was meticulously restored, and remained for almost 20 years.Acquired by the vendor in 2018, chassis 002 has covered only minimal testing mileage since, and is accompanied by FIA Historic Technical Passport paperwork. Furthermore, the car is supplemented by a spares package that includes various original bodywork and suspension components, a spare Cosworth DFV engineâalbeit one requiring remedial attentionâand four spare sets of wheels. Under instruction from the consigning owner, in recent years the car has been race prepared by Racetivity, the tuning company based near Toulouse. This included a rebuild of the clutch and gearbox, the replacement of selected electrical components, and work to improve driver ergonomics. Ideally suited to the ever-popular historic events, such as those contested at Le Mans Classic, this Rondeau offers a fascinating insight into one of Le Mansâ great âwhat ifâ stories, not to mention one of the eventâs pluckiest and most idiosyncratic constructors.1983 Rondeau M482 002 ResultsRaceDateEntrantRace NumberDriverQualifyingOverall FinishClass Finish24 Hours of Le Mans18/19 June 1983Ford Concessionaires France24Pescarolo/Boutsen16thDNFDNFTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at website in the description*.

A110

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Monterey event, 18 - 19 August 2023. Offered Without Reserve A highly developed A110 variant featuring revised bodywork, an upgraded powertrain, and dual-wishbone rear suspensionBelieved to be the only 1600 VD example in the United States; formerly of the renowned Tom Mittler CollectionReportedly equipped from new with an 1,800-cc Works racing engineA powerful and very entertaining vintage racing veteran ideal for continued competition useAccompanied by Renault certificate, history file, and set of four spare Gotti wheels Few sports cars combine potent performance, nimble handling, beauty, and rarity quite like the Alpine A110. Based on Renault mechanicals and clothed in shapely fiberglass bodywork, the petite, rear-engined A110 is one of the greatest European rally cars of its decade, revered in the late 1960s and early 1970s for its handling and performance.According to the Renault certificate of production on file, this A110 was completed on 25 February 1974 and finished, naturally, in the appealing shade of Alpine Blue. It was equipped from new with engine number 1173, matching the tag on the engine fitted today. As a highly developed variant of the long-running model, this 1600 VD features numerous differences from other A110s, including unique front and rear lightweight fiberglass bumpers, small fender flares, large Cibie headlamps and driving lights, and the later-style Alpine logos, bodyside, and hood trim.Further notable equipment includes what the Alpine register notes is an 1,800-cubic-centimeter Works racing engine with dual 45DCOE Weber carburetors and Devil header and exhaust, five-speed manual transmission, four-joint suspension, R17 brake calipers and rotors, a front-mounted radiator, and a modern fuel cell. The car rides on a set of 13-inch Gotti modular four-bolt wheels presently shod with Avon tires. Research on file from former owner Phillipe de Lespinay indicates that this A110 was originally delivered new to a French Group 1 driver, who rallied it multiple times before consigning it to street use. After purchasing the car in 1986, de Lespinay brought it to the United States. He would go on to use the car in vintage competition, where it proved highly competitive.  In 1995, the Alpine joined the renowned racecar collection of the late Tom Mittler of South Bend, Indiana. As racing logbook entries on file indicate, Mittler enthusiastically raced the Alpine across the Midwest and beyond. Following Mittlerâs passing, the car joined a large private collection in Indiana, from whom it was acquired by the consignor in 2020. According to the Alpine-Renault Registered Owners Association this car was, at the time of the publication of their register, the only 1600 VD known to be in the United States; as Alpines of any description are rare on this side of the Atlantic, it would make for a delightfully unexpected contender in any number of vintage racing events. It is accompanied by a history file and a spare set of four Gotti racing wheels.

Avant l'achat, veuillez vous renseigner auprÃ¨s de votre juridiction locale sur les dÃ©marches nÃ©cessaires. Established in 1955 by Jean RÃ©dÃ©lÃ©âRenaultâs youngest-ever concessionaire and a talented engineer and driverâAutomobiles Alpine soon found success in road and rally racing with its nimble sports cars. True prestige could arguably only be won at Le Mans, though, leading Alpine to launch an endurance racing programme in the early-1960s.By 1966, Alpineâs quest for glory had yielded the A210. As its name suggested, it shared a design philosophyâand lightweight glassfibre constructionâwith the roadgoing A110, but its bodywork was dramatically elongated, with striking tailfins added for high-speed stability. A range of rear-mid-mounted, highly tuned Gordini-Renault twin-cam inline-four engines provided power. This A210, chassis number 1725, immediately distinguished itself in its inaugural season. Driven by Henri Grandsire and JosÃ© Rosinski, and powered by a 1,296-cc engine, it earned 9th overall and 1st in class at the 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans. Another 9th-place finish followed at the last-ever running of the 12 Hours of Reims, and after a failed attempt at the NÃ¼rburgring 500 Kilometres, the season concluded with a 7th-place finish at the 9 Hours of Kyalami, when it was fitted with a 1,470-cc engine. Success continued in 1968, with a 4th-place finish at the NÃ¼rburgring 500 Kilometres and an impressive 14th overall and 1st in class at Le Mans, driven by the pairing of Jean-Claude Andruet and Jean-Pierre Nicolas. As chassis 1725 was running a 1,005-cc engine, the car also won the Index of Performance in that year. It started Le Mans once again in 1969; driven by Alain Le Guellec and Bernard Tramont and powered by a 1,470-cc engine, it retired after two hours due to head gasket failure. Chassis 1725 is understood to have been acquired by Christian Martin, a longtime Renault employee, in 1970. Shortly thereafter, it was purchased by GÃ©rard âLa Gombeâ Gombert, a mechanic and motorcycle racer who lived near the village of Fayence in the south of France. âLa Gombeâ is believed to have used the Alpine on track for a time, towing it behind a Renault Estafette van. He clearly recognised its significance: while most of his automotive hoard, which grew to dozens of vehicles, was left outside to deteriorate, the A210 was stashed in a shed and protected from the elements. There it would remain for over four decades. Following Gombertâs death in 2016, his collectionâof which chassis 1725 was unquestionably the starâwas offered at auction. Beneath years of dirt and dust was a well-preserved machine, and its next caretakers wisely decided to follow a course of careful conservation, rather than full restoration. Once cleaned, the A210âs appealingly patinated exterior was returned to its 1968 24 Hours of Le Mans livery with the reapplication of a tricolore stripe and â55â racing numbers. The mechanical systems, including the 1,470-cc Gordini-Renault engine, were completely overhauled at a cost of over â¬42,000, as detailed in an invoice on file. With only eight examples produced, any Alpine A210 is a rare offering. Arguably the most accomplished of this limited set, chassis 1725 boasts three entries and two class wins at Le Mans, a respectable record at further endurance races of the era, and a remarkable state of preservation owed to its time in the storied collection curated by Gombert. This significant car is offered with important historical documentation and images, a spare 1.3-litre engine, and a set of spare wheels, as well as the Renault Estafette once used by âLe Gombeâ to transport itâbuyers please note that the van is unregistered for road use and requires restoration. Chassis 1725 is a notable piece of French motorsport history and prime candidate for entry into Le Mans Classic and other top-level events. 1967 Alpine A*number in the description* ResultsRaceDateEntrantRace NumberDriverQualifyingOverall FinishClass Finish24 Hours of Le Mans10/11 June 1967SociÃ©tÃ© Automobiles Alpine46Rosinski/Grandsire37th9th1st12 Hours of Reims25 June 1967SociÃ©tÃ© Automobiles Alpine66Delageneste/Marnat9th1st500 Kilometres of NÃ¼rburgring 3 September 1967SociÃ©tÃ© Automobiles Alpine1GrandsireDNFDNF9 Hours of Kyalami4 November 1967Renault Africe21Depailler/Grandsire7th1st500 Kilometres of NÃ¼rburgring 4 September 1968SociÃ©tÃ© Automobiles Alpine8Grandsire4th4th24 Hours of Le Mans*28/29 September 1968SociÃ©tÃ© Automobiles Alpine55Andreut/Nicolas50th14th1st24 Hours of Le Mans14/15 June 1969Ecurie Savin Calberson46LeGuellec/Tramont32ndDNFDNF*Awarded Index of PerformanceTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at website in the description*.

Targa Florio

Asking | Â£475,000 GBP One of the finest British sports cars of the early 1950s, one of ten Targa Florio Mk1s producedOrdered new by Briggs Cunningham and displayed by Frazer Nash at the 1952 Earls Court Motor ShowEntered by Cunningham into the 1953 12 Hours of SebringRaced by Charles Moran and John Gordon BennettPresented with its matching-numbers engine and original bodyFully restored by Nick Finburgh of Classic AutosRecently raced at the Goodwood Revival and Membersâ MeetingShown at the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court, and toured on the Bassano Rally The early 1950s was an extraordinary period of many small manufacturers producing wonderfully unique sports cars for the booming American and recovering European markets. These cars were often entirely hand-built which resulted in relatively high sale prices and subsequent low production numbers. Many were great designs and competitive but Jaguarâs XK120, offered at an extraordinarily low price, meant that these small companies sought other business opportunities by the late 1950s.One of these manufacturers was Frazer Nash, named after its founder Archibald Nash, which produced small-capacity chain-driven sports cars from the 1920s up to the Second World War, later under the care of the Aldington brothers. Prior to WWII, Frazer Nash had become the importer and assembler of RHD BMWs, cars which were hugely advanced for their time. War reparations saw BMWâs designs become owned by Bristol, who would go on to produce their own cars with these designs and provide slightly updated BMW engines to other manufacturers including Frazer Nash. In an agreement for engine supply, Frazer Nash would become part-owned by Bristol with the Aldington brothers retaining a significant interest. Once Frazer Nash production ceased, the Aldington brothers continued Frazer Nash as AFN Ltd, the UK importers for Porsche, only selling the company to the German manufacturer in 1987.Frazer Nash was a company that continually punched far above its weight. During the pre-war period it had an outstanding rally record, whilst AFP Fane famously beat Raymond Maysâ ERA to the hill record at Shelsley Walsh. Post-war, Frazer Nashes claimed 3rd overall at the 1949 24 Hours of Le Mans, outright victory at both the 1951 Targa Florio and the inaugural running of the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1952. What was key for Frazer Nash was that it produced lightweight and agile cars, with relatively powerful 2.0-litre six-cylinder Bristol engines, all in a reliable package. The lightweight, small-capacity approach would become the mainstay of the British approach to motorsport, something that continues to this day. The first thing anyone who drives a competition prepared Nash will notice is how well they handle, and this is a quality that helped win races in period and still delights drivers to this day.The Targa Florio model was aimed at being a slightly lower cost model, with a similar parallel-tube chassis to the Le Mans Rep Mk II, clothed in a sporty closed-wheel body. The price difference ended up being minimal, but Targa Florios were available in Turismo (100 bhp) and Gran Sport (125 bhp) specifications. Despite the lower price, the Targa Florio was still double the price of a Jaguar XK120 Roadster and resulting demand meant that only 15 examples were built, 10 of which were the sportier Mk1s. Targa Florioâs were produced in two body styles, the earlier and more desirable is the âshort tailâ body with the unmistakeable Frazer Nash grille, whilst the later cars received longer bodies with an open nose, essentially a roofless Le Mans Coupe. As a testament to the Frazer Nash build quality and desirability, the vast majority of the 85 post-war cars still exist today.Spurred on by the Colliers, Briggs Cunninghamâs love of motorsport became increasingly dominant in his life by the early 1950s. Being a proud American, his desire to put an American car on the top step of sports car racing saw him pour money into his B.S. Cunningham Company, which produced the monstrous C4-Rs. Not to hedge his bets on his project, Cunningham continued to buy the finest sports cars Europe had to offer.Having witnessed a Le Mans Rep win the 1952 12 Hours of Sebring, Cunningham placed an order for the Targa Florio offered, chassis number 412/200/175, during the summer of 1952. As a favour, Cunningham allowed the company to display his car at the 1952 Earls Court Motor Show. Photographs of the car were used for press road tests, but it is not known if it was used as a demonstrator. Delivered in Valentine San Remo Blue and Gran Turismo specification, it is clear this Targa Florioâs competition life was planned from the start as it was fitted from new with features such as a single-windscreen for the driver, bonnet louvres and a lightweight body. It is believed to be the lightest of the Targa Florios to leave the factory. After the show, the Targa Florio was shipped over to Cunningham preparer Alfred Momo in time for its first race, and the competition debut for the model.This Frazer Nash was entered for its first race with Briggs Cunningham competing in the 6 Hours of MacDill, but unknown circumstances meant that he drove his OSCA MT4 instead.Cunningham had high hopes for the 1953 12 Hours of Sebring. Fielding a team of three cars, he took a high-risk strategy for overall victory but gave himself a great chance of taking class honours. Instead of fielding a team of Hemi-engined Cunninghams, he fielded one C4-R, an OSCA MT4 and this Frazer Nash Targa Florio, all in different classes. For the Cunningham team the race went superbly well, the C4-R took overall victory for John Fitch and Phil Walters, whilst the OSCA MT4 scored class victory in the hands of Cunningham and Bill Lloyd. The Targa Florio, in the hands of John Bennett and Charles Moran Jnr., was on course for a potential class win until its wheel nuts worked loose due to the unrelenting bump surface of Sebringâs airfield. Bennett and Moran would repeat their partnership more successfully in a Cunningham C4-RK at the 1953 Le Mans race.After the Sebring race, the hubs were replaced so this Targa Florio changed from running on steel wheels to wires, and to accommodate the larger wheels, the wheel arches were very subtly flared out, creating a sportier appearance.Charles Moran Jnr. was a major figure in the U.S. motor racing world. As the first American to race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, he then went on to race in the Indianapolis 500. Moran was a great friend of Cunningham and became an integral member of his team, often driving C4-Rs in major races. Moran would go on to lead the SCCA, represent America at the FIA and set up ACCUS. He would go on to buy several race cars off Cunningham, including this Frazer Nash.Reunited with this Frazer Nash in 1954, Moran put it to good use at the SCCA races at Westover, finishing 7th in the big-engine race behind a Ferrari 375 MM, a 225 S and some Jaguars. Moran would run his Targa Florio in SCCA races at Cumberland and Montgomery through to 1956, but its most important race appearance in his ownership would be the 1954 Watkins Glen GP where this Frazer Nash was on the grid with the finest sports cars in America: Cunningham C4-Rs, Ferrari 375 MMs, 375 Mexico, 250 MM, 225 S, Jaguar C-type and a Maserati A6GCS. The competition was tough, but this Targa Florio finished 16th.Following Moranâs death in 1970, his collection was split up and it is believed that this Frazer Nash passed to the hands of Vernon Pradon before being bought by Ed Osborn in 1980. By 1986, respected Frazer Nash authority and restorer, Bill Roberts, had purchased this historic Targa Florio and brought it back to the UK. Roberts proceeded to restore this Targa Florio before selling it to David Hargreaves in 1995, who would go on to keep it for many years. Eventually it was sold to famed racer, entrant and Jaguar-preparer John Coombs who cared out another restoration, painting it in British Racing Green, with matching green interior. Coombs also commissioned a full rebuild of its original BS1 engine. It is known that Coombs used this Targa Florio as one of his favoured road cars in the final two years of his life, particularly for journeys to Goodwood. Sadly, he passed away in 2013 and it was sold as part of his estate.In 2015, it was sold to Guy Harman who commissioned Nick Finburgh of Classic Autos to carry out a full restoration to bring this wonderful Targa Florio back to its period specification. No expense was spared in returning this Nash to its correct Valentine San Remo Blue (discovered in the fuel filler neck) with a single-windscreen and subtly flared wheel-arches.Since the restoration, this Targa Florio has competed in the Freddie March Memorial Trophy at the Goodwood Revival, one of the most popular races due to the quality of the grid. Other events include the Goodwood 77th Membersâ Meeting, La Leggenda Di Bassano 2019 and the 2019 Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court. Most recently this Frazer Nash has had its original matching-numbers engine reinstalled and dyno tested.Very few Frazer Nashes formed part of such as famous team as Cunningham, let alone competed in one of the major sports car races of the period. This highly original Targa Florio is presented with its original chassis, engine and body, and would make the perfect tool for some of the finest events in the world from the Monaco Historique Grand Prix and Le Mans Classic to the Copperstate 1000.To view this car and others currently available, please visit the RM website at website in the description*.
