Son of Quattro
The Audi S2 might not have achieved the cult following of its predecessor, the original Quattro, but in many ways it represents an evolution of Audi’s road and rally star, even sharing the same characteristic silhouette. Powered by a turbocharged inline five cylinder, the S2 produced a still respectable 217 horsepower, sent to all four wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox, lending it a 5.7 second 0-62 mph time. This immaculate dark blue metallic 1991 example remains in fabulous condition inside and out with just 61,000 km on the clock.
Santa’s Sunday Cruiser
It doesn’t get much more festive than a red Series 1 Jaguar E-Type surrounded by snow, which makes this 1967 example the perfect weekend ride for a certain jolly, red-suited pseudo deity. Originally British Racing Green with a beige interior and now refinished in Carmen Red, this E-Type features a lovely 4.2-litre inline six-cylinder engine and was originally delivered to New York as one of the last and most refined examples of the Series 1 cars. Maintained with care and in great condition, this E-Type is ready to be enjoyed whatever the season.
A Unicorn in Midnight Blue
This beauty has all the ingredients to potentially become a record-setting ride when it crosses the auction stand at RM Sotheby’s Arizona sale on January 23rd. One of just 86 Porsche 911 Turbo S Lightweights ever built, this example is dripping with Porsche Exclusive customizations, from the Midnight Blue paintwork to the Amethyst Metallic wheel centers and Bordeaux leather interior. In fact, almost every interior surface has been swathed in cow hide, including the optional three-spoke sport steering wheel, A/C vents, switches, and even the hand stitched Matter roll cage. Could this become the most valuable 964 ever sold at auction?
Rally Raid Runabout
Pretty much as soon as HFS Morgan had bolted the wheels on the first Morgan Runabout, he began competing in reliability trials across the UK, giving the team at Morgan the perfect historical excuse to build this: the Plus Four CX-T. Developed with the input of Dakar Rally competitors and vehicle builders, Rally Raid UK, the CX-T boasts 230mm of ground clearance, a five-piece underbody protection system, and a rugged exterior roll cage to name just a few of the all-terrain enhancements. Powered by a 2.0-litre inline-four, delivering 255bhp to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission, this is undoubtedly the most fun you can have in a Morgan.
Picard’s Second Monza
What do you do if you total your Ferrari 750 Monza? If you’re French racer Francois Picard, you simply buy another! This is Picard’s second, more fortunate Monza, delivered in February 1956 and boasting an improved oval tube chassis and a unique body with design elements that wouldn’t be seen again until the pontoon-fendered 250 Testa Rossas. A veteran road and circuit racer that saw multiple podium finishes, this would be the perfect classic counterpart if your garage already includes a Ferrari SP1 or SP2 Monza.
