Cambi Casa d’Aste’s Racing & Sports Cars sale, poised to take place on 24 November in Milan, is spearheaded by the unique 2006 Maserati MC8 GranSport Laboratorio, which is notable for being the Trident marque’s last factory-prepared racer. It was based on the GranSport GT3, though featured numerous technical innovations including a carbon driveshaft and sequential gearbox.
You can find the entire catalogue for Osenat’s next sale, which takes place this weekend during the Epoqu’Auto Salon in Lyon and comprises a tantalising selection of classic and modern collector cars suited to every taste and budget, listed in the Classic Driver Market.
If you can look past the fabulous selection of automobilia up for grabs at Silverstone Auctions’ NEC Classic Motor Show Sale on 10–11 November in Birmingham, there is also a diverse spread of collector cars on offer, including many so-called ‘youngtimers’ guaranteed to put a smile on your face each and every time you climb behind the wheel. Jay Kay, the inimitable frontman of Jamiroquai, undisputedly has great taste in cars – his wonderfully specified McLaren 675LT, painted Chicane Grey and fitted with the F1-esque roof scoop, will cross the block, estimated at £230,000–280,000.
A wonderful selection of racing cars from the 70s to today that have made the history of sports car racing
Would you have the nerve to equip the iconic Bertone-designed Alfa Romeo Giulia with ‘Gullwing’ doors à la Mercedes-Benz 300SL? Rightly or wrongly, one German Alfa enthusiast did just that to this 1976 example, on top of a comprehensive mechanical restoration. The result is curious, to say the least, and bound to divide opinion in equal measure. The unique creation is estimated to make 50,000–80,000 euros when it crosses the block at Aguttes’ Autumn Sale, poised to take place in Lyon, France, on 10 November.
