Conceived and developed as an open sports car, the Jaguar E-Type debuted at Conceived and developed as an open sports car, the Jaguar E-Type debuted at the Geneva Salon in March 1961 in fixed-head coupé form. The car caused a sensation - spontaneous applause breaking out at the unveiling - with its instantly classic lines and a 150mph top speed. The design owed much to that of the racing D-Type, a monocoque tub forming the main structure while a tubular spaceframe extended forwards to support the engine, which was the 3.8-litre, triple-carburettor, ’S’ unit first offered as an option on the preceding XK150. Aerodynamically, the coupé was superior to the roadster and the better Grand Tourer, enjoying as it did a marginally higher top speed and the considerable convenience of a generously sized luggage platform accessed via the side-hinged rear door. Its engine aside, only in terms of its transmission did the E-Type represent no significant advance over the XK150, whose durable four-speed Moss gearbox it retained.

This highly desirable ‘Series 1’ E-Type coupé was delivered new to Jaguar Cars, New York, USA and has covered only 26,313 miles (approximately 42,300 kilometres) from new. Sold new to Mr Masko Laninick, it is one of the last of 5,872 left-hand drive Series 1 coupés built. The accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate confirms matching numbers and records the original colour combination as Opalescent Silver Grey with red interior. From 1990 onwards the E-Type remained with one owner in Kansas until 2016 when it was sold by Gullwing Motor Cars, New York to a prominent Belgian private collector. In 2018 the car changed hands again, passing to the current vendor, another prominent Belgian collector.

The vendor advises us that this car has been restored to a very good standard, which is confirmed by the evaluation carried out by the respected Belgian Classic Car expert Mr Gert Beets. Mr Beets concludes: “This car has been restored to a very good level. It is an original left-hand drive E-type Series I Fixed Head Coupe in quite original mechanical configuration.” The car also has a FIVA passport (issued 27th December 2019) categorising it as 'A/3’ (A = original; 3 = restored).

Finished in red with tan leather interior, the E-Type is said to drive extremely well and is described by the vendor as ready to be enjoyed. Accompanying additional documentation includes a manufacturer’s brochure, sundry maintenance invoices, Belgian registration papers, and the aforementioned Heritage Certificate.

September 2020

In its relatively short life, the French firm of Facel produced approximately 2,900 cars, all of which were stylish, luxurious and fast. Hand built, they were necessarily very expensive (the Facel II was priced in Rolls-Royce territory) and were bought by the rich and famous seeking something exclusive and distinctive. The list of owners includes royalty, politicians, diplomats and entertainers: Tony Curtis, Danny Kaye, Ringo Starr, Joan Fontaine and Ava Gardner being counted among the latter. Confirming there was high-performance substance behind Facel’s unquestionable style, they were owned and driven by great motor racing figures such as Sir Stirling Moss, Maurice Trintignant and Rob Walker.

Founded by Jean Daninos in 1939, Forges et Ateliers de Construction d'Eure-et-Loir (FACEL) manufactured aircraft components and metal furniture. After the war the company supplied car bodies to Panhard, Simca and Ford France before branching out into automobile manufacture in its own right with the launch of the Vega at the 1954 Paris Salon. Government legislation had effectively killed off France’s few surviving luxury car manufacturers after WW2, but that did not deter Daninos in his bold attempt to revive a great French motoring tradition. A luxurious Grande Routière, the Vega took its name from the brightest star in the Lyra constellation and featured supremely elegant coupé bodywork welded to a tubular-steel chassis. There being no suitable French power unit, Daninos turned to the USA for the Vega’s, sourcing its 4.5-litre 180bhp De Soto Hemi V8 from the Chrysler Corporation, while there was a choice of two transmissions: push-button automatic or manual.

Improvements to the first FV model were not long in coming, the FV1, introduced in March 1955, featuring a lengthened wheelbase for increased rear seat room and a 4.8-litre De Soto Hemi V8 producing 200bhp. In September 1955 the FV2 arrived boasting a new wraparound windshield, a 250 horsepower motor and – for the first time – Facel’s famous faux burr walnut dashboard, which was actually hand-painted steel.

One of only 30 FV2s built, this magnificent Facel is known to have been in the USA circa 1990 and since 2017 has formed part of an important private collection in the UK. It has the De Soto Hemi engine and automatic transmission, and is finished in black with red interior, the latter featuring Facel’s famous wood-effect dashboard and a period-look RetroSound Model Two radio. A copy owner’s manual is included in the sale. Large, imposing, of high performance and beautifully built, the Facel Vega has an on-road presence matched by few cars, before or since. Recently serviced and prepared for sale for the consignor by specialists In Holland. https://flic.kr/p/2jHVscb

Introduced in 1962, Alfa Romeo’s 106-Series 2600 range was a direct replacement for the preceding 102-Series 2000 cars. The latter’s chassis design and body styles were retained, with minor revisions and improvements, but in place of the old, long-stroke, 2.0-litre, four-cylinder engine was a new, 2,584cc, twin-cam six clearly descended from the immensely successful Giulietta. A maximum output of 145bhp was claimed for this unit when installed in the Sprint Coupé and Spider, good enough for a top speed of around 200km/h, and Cars Illustrated magazine reckoned this magnificent power unit “one of the smoothest, quietest running sixes, irrespective of the speed at which it is running, in our experience”. Carrozzerias Touring and Bertone were responsible for the 2600 Spider and Sprint Coupé respectively; both of which looked like their 2000 predecessors.

Raced by both the works and privateers, the 2600 Sprint achieved class wins in the 24 Heures du Spa, Tour de France, Nürburgring 12 Hours, Monza 4 Hours and other rounds of the European Touring Car Championship. During the same period it was also extensively hill-climbed and rallied, proving to be a powerful and reliable all-rounder. A total of approximately 2,255 Spiders and 6,999 Sprint Coupés were produced between 1962 and 1966, and today these rare and hitherto under-appreciated models are becoming increasingly sought after by discerning collectors.

Off the road for 20 years, this splendid Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint is presented in stunning condition, with no rust at all according to the vendor. The Alfa was extensively restored in 2011, with the engine, clutch, transmission, carburettors, brakes, and electrical ancillaries all receiving attention, while the bodywork and original wheels were repainted. Upgrades include 123 electronic ignition and Spax adjustable gas shock absorbers. Other noteworthy features include a new water pump; new heater valve and hoses; new door rubbers; halogen bulbs in original Carello headlamps; and re-upholstered seats in an otherwise original leather interior equipped with two dashboard-mounted chronometers.

Driven to numerous rallies, the Sprint is said to be exceptionally silent and comfortable, and a great pleasure to drive on long-distance excursions. Offered with restoration invoices, instruction manuals, and Belgian Carte Grise, this beautiful Alfa Romeo is only offered for sale because of the vendor’s advancing years and the demands of the many other cars in his collection. A spare set of five original wheels and Michelin X tyres is included in the sale. https://flic.kr/p/2jKqY2D
