A FABULOUS FEAST OF FOUR DIFFERENT FERRARI 599S AT SILVERSTONE AUCTIONS SALE

A FABULOUS FEAST OF FOUR DIFFERENT FERRARI 599S AT SILVERSTONE AUCTIONS SALE

2008 Ferrari 599 GTB Manual

The sale of Ferraris being held at the Dallas Burston Polo Club just got even more mouth-watering with over £1 million worth of super rare variations of the Ferrari 599 to be sold by Silverstone Auctions.

The range-topping and most powerful of the four cars is the 2011 599 GTO of which 60 or so of these cars were built in right-hand drive and was the road-going version of the track day 599XX. To make it even more special, it is presented in the rare colour of Avus Bianco with Tour de France Blue stripes, which was a special order request and possibly making this car unique. Supplied new by Ferrari Singapore where the car was regularly serviced and lived until 2017 before coming to the UK, the car has covered 10,920km. This 599 comes with the official Ferrari service book with all the stamps clearly visible and with all UK taxes paid the car now conforms to the same specification as a UK example. An amazing opportunity to acquire a super rare 599 estimated at £400,000 to £460,000.

Our second Ferrari 599 is the 2008 GTB. What makes this one so special is that it is one of just ten examples supplied to Europe made with the manual gearbox, as opposed to the F1-style paddle shift systems. In total, just 30 cars were made worldwide in this specification making these cars virtually unobtainable. Estimated at £365,000 to £400,00 this left-hand-drive 599 looks stunning in Fiorano Rosso with Cuoio interior. Now UK registered, this Swiss supplied car was bought by our vendor, the second owner, in 2018 and has formed part of his significant Ferrari collection. With just 19,000km on the clock, this 599 has been regularly looked after and cared for, coming with its original full luggage set, build brochure and history file. Now in the care of Silverstone Auctions and available for private inspection, this is an extremely rare car and very collectable.

The third Ferrari 599 is just as special as the others, it is a special edition GTB built to celebrate 60 years of F1 wins and named after the multiple F1 champion Fernando Alonso. This 2012 Ferrari 599 GTB 60 F1 Alonso Final Edition is being offered at £220,000 to £260,000 and is one of 40 cars built and based on the HGTE model. Finished in Rosso F1 Storico with white highlights and a bespoke Alonso interior, this very special 599 was registered as a demonstrator by Gaudual Sport S.A.S Ferrari France in 2012 and purchased by its first owner in 2013. Imported to the UK in 2017 and used sparingly forming part of the vendor’s collection, this car has been serviced by Maranello Egham and Dick Lovett Ferrari in Swindon. As 2012 marked the end of the production for the 599 this immaculate 8,000-mile example is extremely tempting as they do not appear very often.

Our final 599 is a 2007 GTB Fiorano finished in Nero Metallic with a Rosso leather interior. A great value car at £90,000 to £105,000, this 599 has a very impressive specification and is in superb condition. The UK specified right-hand drive car with just 26,000-miles on the clock, this 599 has been serviced by Graypaul no less than ten times. A great opportunity to acquire an entry-level 599 in superb condition.

Harry Whale, auction manager for Silverstone Auctions commented: "It is a very special moment for us to be offering not one but four different variations of the Ferrari 599 at our sale on the 21st September.”

“Each of these cars offers something very special and different making them super collectable within their own right.”

“For any Ferrari enthusiast these cars will attract lots of interest, as cars of this rarity do not come to market that often.”

“Where else will you find four different 599s to suit all requirements. The vendor of the manual 599 told me how great it is to drive. Our sale is a unique opportunity to acquire something truly useable as well as collectable.”

Silverstone Auctions sale also includes a selection of marque related automobilia which starts at 10.30am.

The most successful car in the history of F1 is the Ferrari 312T which was raced by some of the greatest drivers and the automobilia sale has a number of 312T related items.

One of the lots, a striking original Acrylic on canvas depicting the late great Niki Lauda in his Ferrari 312T at Casino Square by Arthur Benjamins. The vendor purchased it directly from the artist 42 years ago and had it signed by Niki Lauda in 2013. Coming with a certificate of authenticity it is estimated at £5,000 to £7,000. These works of art are highly sought after, so this presents a rare opportunity to acquire one.

There are also two 1/12 scale models, a Ferrari 312T driven by Niki Lauda to the 1975 F1 World Championship and another the 312 T4 driven by Gilles Villeneuve. Both are one off-pieces and finished to the highest standards and estimated at £500 to £1,000 each.

Jody Scheckter, who famously drove for Ferrari, is depicted in this stunning photographic print by Michael Hewett on the run down to Mirabeau in the 312 T5 and signed by him with a certificate of authenticity.

The Sale of Ferrari and Porsche takes place at the Dallas Burston Polo Club on Saturday 21st September. The auction starts with automobilia at 10.30, followed by the Ferrari sale at 12.30 and Porsche at 2.30. The lots can be previewed on Friday the 20thSeptember from 1pm to 5pm.

A SALE OF FERRARI AND PORSCHE HEADS TO THE DALLAS BURSTON POLO CLUB ON 21ST SEPTEMBER

A SALE OF FERRARI AND PORSCHE HEADS TO THE DALLAS BURSTON POLO CLUB ON 21ST SEPTEMBER

1990 Ferrari 348 TB

Silverstone Auctions next sale will be held at The Dallas Burston Polo Club and will be for a Sale of Ferrari and Porsche on the 21st September.

Held in association with the Porsche Club GB and The Ferrari Owners Club of Great Britain, this sale will be a selection of some of the finest sports cars from these German and Italian marques.

Already consigned is a 1990 Ferrari 348 TB. Launched in 1989 this is one of the 60 pre-production models with styling cues taken from the Testarossa, its side strakes and rectangular taillights. When production ceased in 1993, just 2,894 cars had been produced and with such a limited run of cars, this is a great opportunity to acquire 3.4 litre V8 Ferrari which has just 2,500 kilometres on the clock from new. This is one superb car, not only is it is Classiche certified, but it also comes with the completely original luggage set, tools, jack and leather book pack. Offered at £85,000 to £95,000 this left-hand-drive 348 is now UK registered and has been recently serviced by a Ferrari main dealer. This really is one for the collector.

The Porsche 911s from the 1980s are considered to be one of the best designs, with their big whale tails and flared wheel arches for a more sportier appearance. When you get to the level of a Carrera Supersport Cabriolet, well what a stunning car it becomes. It is revered as the ultimate development of the 911. This 1986 version with just over 50,000 miles really looks the part. Presented in black with a cream and black piped leather interior, this two-owner car has recently had a service totalling £5,500 by a marque specialist which also included a new clutch, exhaust, fuel tank and pump. Offered at £55,000 to £65,000 this black beauty comes with its tools and service book.

Harry Whale auction manager for Silverstone Auctions commented: “Our sale of Ferraris and Porsches gives a great opportunity to showcase these fine sportscars.”

“This year will be the first time that we hold the two sales on one day at the Dallas Burston Polo Club. The venue is also great for accessibility with parking very close to the auction and with food on offer from the on-site restaurant.”

“We are of course delighted to be working with our two clubs, this will be our fifth auction with Porsche Club GB and the second with The Ferraris Owners Club of Great Britain.”

SILVERSTONE AUCTIONS HEADS TO HEYTHROP FOR TWO DAY MAY SALE

SILVERSTONE AUCTIONS HEADS TO HEYTHROP FOR TWO DAY MAY SALE

Silverstone Auctions will be holding their two day May sale at Heythrop Park on the 10thand 11th May, supported by the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club, with fine cars and memorabilia being offered for sale.

Saturday’s Classic Car sale will offer 50 cars including a 1972 Ferrari Daytona Spyder and a 1998 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo Targa G50 being offered. Sunday will be the British Marques sale and currently consigned is a superb 1960 AC Aceca and a 1954 Jaguar XK120 DHC.

The 1972 Ferrari Daytona Spyder Conversion is an absolutely breathtaking car. It was originally supplied by Maranello Concessionaires in March 1972 and has travelled just 8,700 miles. The car was professionally converted in 1978 to Spyder form by Richard Straman Coachworks in California. Presented in Blue Dino Metallizzato paint colour, this car has been meticulously maintained as is estimated at £500,000 to £575,000.

Also offered is this rather fine looking 1988 Porsche 911, one of the very last 930 Turbos with the G50 5 speed manual gearbox. This is a very desirable car with 71,725 miles, a substantial service record and also included in the sale is the Targa removal roof panel. This car is in remarkable condition and is a collectable classic estimated at £75,000 to £85,000.

Sunday’s sale of British marques is supported by the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club so naturally there will be a few Jaguars on offer amongst other classic British marques.

One of the star lots is this fabulous 1960 AC Aceca which has been consigned to the sale. This is one of the very best, having undergone restoration by the previous owner with the intention of making it the best in the world. Now offered for sale by the current owner of seven years and for the first time on the open market, this sleek fastback comes with a comprehensive history file on its restoration. According to the AC Aceca register this car was originally ordered in Mist Green, one of only six ever finished in that colour with the original six cylinder AC unit. This car has had so much love to make and keep it in the condition it is presented in, it seems to tick all the boxes and is available for £110,000 to £130,000.

One of several Jaguars include in the sale is this superb example of the XK120, a UK supplied car in right hand drive presented in British Racing Green and in excellent condition with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate. This car was first registered in January 1954 and supplied new to Squadron Leader Desmond de Villiers of Hertford. ‘Dizzy' de Villiers AFC was the Chief Test Pilot at the De Havilland Aircraft Company.

The car has undergone a nut and bolt restoration with the engine being fully rebuilt along with the axle and gearbox over a 30 year period using specialist restorers. The car underwent further work in 2008 with supporting documents including updates to improve driveability and reliability. A very desirable car to own and on offer for £75,000 to £85,000.

Arwel Richards, Auction Manager for the Heythrop sale commented "Set within the historic grounds of the Grade II listed Heythrop Park, the auction will showcase gleaming examples of automotive excellence akin to a Concours d'Elegance with best of breed examples of all marques over our two day sale in the heart of the Cotswolds.”

“We have responded to this new enthusiast led market by tailoring our catalogue to meet the highest of expectations by offering cars of the best quality at estimates that reflect their rarity and condition."

"Many of the cars we have on offer have caught the eye of many a concours judge, with one car gaining a third place at Pebble Beach in 2015, arguably the most exacting of all concours competitions."

"Our team of specialists are negotiating some superb motorcars which will add to the catalogue in the coming weeks. There are still some spaces left, however, for vendors to include their cars among the exclusive line up and take part in one of the headline sales of the year."

Silverstone Auctions are still accepting cars for the auction and can be contacted on 01926 691141 or email enquiries@silverstoneauctions.com and would be happy to talk with you and help you through the process of consigning your car.
