This beautiful racing bike was sold in the UK to a Mr. Hinton in 1950. Research indicates that it almost certainly was Mr. Harry Hinton, an Australian racing driver living in England. Harry Hinton was the first Australian driver gaining points in the 500cc world championship, in all probability on this very bike! As is often the case with racing bikes, the Manx eventually received a new type correct ...

With only 3'085 examples built, a 1966 Chrysler 300 Convertible was and is a rare sight on the road. The 6. 3-litre V8 with 274 SAE hp is mated to an automatic transmission and ensures class-leading performance. To ensure that comfort is not neglected, the large convertible is equipped with power steering and an electro-hydraulic soft top. A rare 5-seater US convertible in very good and original ...

This rare Alfa Romeo Coupé (only around 1’000 examples were ever built) was handed over to its first owner from Basel through the Alfa Romeo Svizzera agency in Agno on the 14th September 1990. He frequently enjoyed his SZ no. 057 with its torquey 210 hp 3 litre V6 Busso designed engine until passing it on to the last keeper in 2014 within then 56‘000 kilometres driven. As can be seen in the full ...

According to its Swiss registration document, this pretty right hand drive MG saloon with its steel sliding roof and tilting windscreen has been delivered in Switzerland and first registered on the 15th January 1948. The coachwork of the little Brit was obviously restored a number of years ago and is in very good condition. The interior benefits from new carpets with the wood and leather having enjoyed ...

Like so many of the 7’200 De Tomaso Pantera built, this sportster was delivered originally in the USA and registered there on the 2nd of October 1971. Following American fashion of model year changes normally taking place in September of the previous year we're actually looking at a 1972 example. The history of the car in the USA is not known.

The chassis (GBT5) of this beautiful Rolls-Royce was completed in November 1931 and handed over to Windovers coachworks on the 7th of December of the same year where it received a stately and representative Landaulette coachwork with two additional folding seats to the back and a separation.

As one of only 1’366 examples built, this stunning Giulietta SS was first registered on the 7th of September 1961. The matricule number in the Swiss registration document would let us assume that the car was delivered in Switzerland. The early history of the Coupé is not known unfortunately. In the mid-90s the engine was probably completely overhauled and at around the same time the coach work ...

This fantastic Lancia Coupé with its Touring coachwork, one of 863 examples built, with a 2. 5 litre engine V6 delivering 119 horsepower was registered in July 1961, most probably in Italy. Many years ago, the Flaminia was imported and registered in Switzerland. Around 15 years ago the coachwork was restored and repainted with the interior left in its original condition, showing a lovely age correct ...

The 6C Series cars were the last Alfa Romeos capable of bringing some of the prewar handbuilt glamour and feel into the modern postwar age. Always a step above the rest, they still remind us of the golden age of motoring. This example is one of only 279 examples built with 5-seater Tourismo factory coachwork. Its first owner was the Bruggmühle Goldach, where the car was most probably used to transport ...

In 1956, 4’433 Land Rover with the short (86 inch) wheelbase left the Solihull plant as left hand drive versions, destined for export. Primarily built as a purely utility vehicle, this incarnation of the true off-roader only offers very basic equipment and, with its removable soft top, very limited protection from the elements. On the other hand, it was extremely robust and was able to get into ...

In 1961 the year when the legendary brand from Bremen went bankrupt, only 6’989 examples of the initially successful Isabella saloon were produced, with the cars from the 1962 model year only completed from end of June.

As one of only 937 coupé built with the sought-after carburettor engine this stunning Maserati 3500 with chassis number 101-538 was handed over to its first owner on the 24th July 1959 by Maserati agent Jean Thépenier. According to the Maserati register, the car was later sold by the 1st owner to a gentleman in England who later on sold the GT to Hollande. In 2012 the Maserati was then completely ...

As one of only 3’690 second Series examples built, the Fulvia offered here was delivered new in Italy. In the mid-2000s the Lancia was imported into the USA and registered by a collector. The car was eventually bought and imported into Switzerland by a Swiss collector in 2014. In 2019 the master brake cylinder, the brake servo and all brake lines were replaced. In 2022 the car was shod with four ...

This gorgeous E-Type was built in December 1961 and in January 1962 it was exported to New-York. In July 1962 the Jaguar was registered to its first owner in Beverly Hills California (where else!). Unfortunately no history of the car is available up to 2009, except for the fact that the E-Type received a colour change from Opalescent Gun Metal with a red leather interior to the current red with black. ...

On the 12th of March 1960 captain John T. Cox, then stationed in Germany, signed a sales contract with the Porsche agents Grosskloss in Saarbrücken for a new Porsche cabriolet.
