  • New arrival, another piece of bike art, the C3 Hellcat. This small-batch bike manufacturer has always delivered motorbikes of exceedingly high quality, regarding themselves as the ‘Bentley of motorbikes’. Through extensive use of materials of the highest quality, minimalist but engineering-biased design, these hot-rod bikes have always been as much art-installations as functional items. The C3 X132 was available in two configurations. The Fighter with its steeper 23.5-degree rake and 61.5-inch wheelbase and this Roadster, with its more relaxed 30-degree rake and slightly longer 64.5-inch wheelbase. Powered by an S&S Motors Copperhead V-Twin, the 132cui specification complete with 1-piece forged crankshaft provides a strong 145 ft-lbs of torque across the rev range. At just 226 kilos, the Hellcat is lighter than many of its cruising counterparts, but with 132bhp is ahead in terms of power to weight. This example features a short ratio 5-speed switch box transmission. This one-owner example was purchased as an art piece when new in 2014 and since resided in the owners living room. That said this example has just received a comprehensive service from a V-Twin specialist ensuring it is ready to be used and enjoyed going forwards. Arriving in the UK in January this year, this bike is currently undergoing road registration in the UK. Costing in excess of $50,000 new, this Hellcat is just one of two examples known to be in the UK. A very rare opportunity to acquire the produce of one of America’s leading small batch motorcycle companies. Taxes paid and awaiting UK registration, this Hellcat is available to view at our showrooms just outside London immediately.

  • Another new arrival to replenish our latest F40 sale, where do we find them!? 🤷🏻‍♂️ This superb example is an extremely sought after and rare opportunity. It was delivered new in February 1990 and is the collector’s preference specification being both “Non Cat” and “Non Adjust”. The first owner was Mr Bjorg who was supplied the car by Auto Diffusion S.A of Geneva, Switzerland. He would use the car most sparingly, covering just 1,700kms by the time of its second owner in 2004 (most likely because a “Non-Cat” car can not be registered in Switzerland), all the while enjoying annual services and timely fuel tank replacements. At that time it was imported into the UK and since then has enjoyed a very thorough MOT history and annual maintenance schedule which helps authenticate its low mileage. Fuel tanks most recently replaced in 2014, and “Red Book” Classiche Certification has recently been awarded by the factory. The file contains many invoices, statements regarding originality and the paintwork presents very well with a lot of “weave” being visible all over the car. Today this extraordinary example has covered just 2,371 kms from new. Most recently receiving its annual service in October 2019, this F40 presents on the button and is accompanied by its book pack, tools, tyre pump and most importantly its Classiche Certification.

  • New stock arrival... 1978, the now legendary Mike Hailwood piloted a Ducati 900 around the Isle of Man, winning the TT despite retiring from Grand Prix Motorcycle racing some 11 years earlier. A staggering achievement at the best of times. Hailwood had won the TT 12 times previously including a hat-trick in 1961 but after retiring had started a short stint as a Formula 1 driver before a badly broken leg terminated his efforts in 1974. Finding himself struggling to fit in and still with the racing bug at heart, ‘Mike the Bike’ agreed a big-money deal to return. There was much scepticism and doubt about his return amongst the excitement of the fans, with many assuming he would only tarnish his glowing record. Hailwood had ordered three Ducati 900s through the UK importer. Each with modifications to allow him to ride more easily, changing gear with his left leg instead of his right after his Formula 1 accident some years earlier. Despite the oddsmakers lack of support, Hailwood immediately got to grips with the far newer bike. His very first lap was his fastest-ever lap of the course with an average speed of 110mph across the daunting 37-mile course. Whilst others somewhat timidly approached the event putting reliability and caution in front, Mike took the win. The Ducati MH900e (Mark Hailwood 900 Evoluzione) was produced between 2001 and 2002 in a limited production run of just 2,000 units in homage to Hailwood’s performance at the TT in 1978. In a world-first, the bike was sold directly to the consumer via the Ducati website, with the first available batch of 1,000 bikes selling out in just 31 minutes. They were sold to 20 different countries with 30% in Europe, 30% to American and 39% to Japan. Powered by the venerable Supersport 904cc air-cooled L-Twin engine, the MH900e produces 75 hp and is paired to the lower gearing from Ducati’s Monster. Plenty of torque and fantastic noises that you’d expect from a Ducati to boot. This bike has remained with its original owner until now residing in his house as an art piece and has as such covered 15km. The bike was imported into the UK in January 2020 and has received a full service. £29,995

  • A very special 356 Carrera Speedster GS (GT) arrives into stock. This particular example was totally restored by @kienleautomobiltechnik and is fitted with a very important and rare GT engine, believed 1 of just 15 units ever made. This superb example is 1 of just 77 4-Cam GS Speedsters produced during the 4 year and 3,676 unit production run. First delivered on June 26th 1957, it was specified in Silver Metallic over a black leatherette interior, anthracite carpets and a hood in black cloth. The upgraded 356A Carrera GS Speedster brought with it a number of discreet changes over the standard car, with both seeming almost identical side by side. From the inside, the car gained an 8,000rpm rev counter up from the standard 6,000 rpm item. Additionally, a couple of extra dashboard ignition control switches were fitted to the car. From the outside, the car received larger bore exhaust pipes, wider wheels, a very slightly lower rear right height and most notably, the coveted ‘Carrera’ script on the rear body panel in gold. This example stands above other GS’. Fitted with an exceptionally rare Type 692/1 4-Cam engine affording this example a 10% power increase to 110PS at 6,400rpm from the standard-fit Type 547/1 powerplant. Just 15 engines of this type were manufactured and much like all 356 engines, is thoroughly documented in Rolf Sprenger & Steve Heinrich’s ‘Carrera’ book. Sprenger worked his way through the ranks of Porsche at the factory as an engineer, a true King of customer service, he regularly reported to Ferry Porsche himself before founding the Sonderwunsch (Special Wishes) department- now Porsche Exclusive. This specific 692/1 was originally fitted to a 356 GT Speedster that was extensively campaigned by Bruce ‘King Carrera’ Jennings in the SCCA in the late 1950s, it later found its way into this example. Accompanied by a detailed history file, and having recently been inspected by @prillporsche , this wonderful Carrera Speedster is available to view immediately.

    Lightweight V12 or V8? What’s your tipple? 🤷🏻‍♂️
  • New arrival. 348 GT Competizione in RHD (1of8). Today, the latest lightweight V8 mid-engined Ferrari is always an eagerly anticipated arrival. And in the world of collections, it makes for a great theme. However, long before the 360 Challenge Stradale and even its precursor, the 355 Challenge, an evolution of the road-going 348 GTB was needed for the new, one-make race series that was established in 1993. And it was then that the 348 GT Competizione and this exclusive series akin to the Porsche “RS” was born. In order to comply with strict homologation requirements, a road going production run of 50 cars was completed featuring all changes made to the race cars to meet FIA regulations; 42 examples were built in left hand drive and just 8 in right hand drive. This makes a Competizione the rarest modern day production Ferrari. By following a diet that would later become the norm for lightweight limited run cars, 200Kgs was shaved off the GTB through extensive use of Carbon Fibre, Carbon Kevlar and through the extended removal of ‘luxuries’ standardly fitted to the 348 including the fitment of lightweight carpets and interior materials throughout. The brakes were derived from the F40, with larger discs and calipers. The suspension was modified, with competition-ready springs and dampers and new, stiffer rose-joints significantly improving feel and reducing play the ride. An improved steerirng rack and gear linkage was also introduced. The ride, drive and turn-in was transformed over the standard car. The unique wheels grow by an inch over the standard alloys, to the unique 18” Split-Rims, evocative of its bigger brother, the F40. At the same time the Competizione welcomed the very same seats (and gear knob) from its bigger F40 brother, the iconic red fabric Carbon Kevlar pieces. The doors, sills, front and rear bumpers were all replaced with composite Kevlar items and the rear window replaced with a Lexan piece. A lower final drive ratio was introduced along with a revised rear subframe. The engine was left untouched bar the addition of a freer-flowing, more vocal exhaust system with a bespoke manifold.
