Cars

Selected cars from the ‘Stradale’ Collection are now being put up for auction at The Salon Privé Sale on 4 September in London.

Admit it, we had you fooled. That’s testament to the obsessive research and attention to detail (reminiscent of Singer and Magnus Walker’s creations) that make this Mustang project look so convincing.

Joining them was Classic Driver's trenchcoat-donning photographer Tim Brown, whose spectacular images can be seen in our extended gallery above. Enjoy!

Complying with stringent global safety laws – hence the side strakes, perhaps designed to stop small children being swallowed by the deep air ducts – the Testarossa was Ferrari’s first ‘world’ car, addressing the 512BB’s shortcomings and successfully turning Ferrari into a household name. Talking of names, it had a real one, not just a number, and while the legend of the celestial 50s and 60s Testa Rossa racers would never be equalled, the new ‘red head’ would forge its own, radically different path to iconic status.

Admittedly, not all our chosen machines were direct rivals to the 'redhead' in their day – but if you’re looking for a car with Eighties exuberance in abundance, they’re surely worth some consideration, at the very least…

A year ago, Monterey was the venue for the unveiling of the first in the series of Bugatti Legends and, on 15 August, it will also witness the grand finale, with the world premiere of the sixth and final car in the series.
