Red or dead?

You either had to be a very important person or write a large cheque to persuade Ferrari to paint your new F50 anything other than red. This silver example has, amazingly, remained in the same fortunate family ownership from new and is accompanied by its entire service history, the original Ferrari luggage set, and even the pair of Tod’s racing shoes that were sized to the original owner.

Keke knows better

Trust the flamboyant Finn and former Formula 1 World Champion Keke Rosberg to have ordered his Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole in brilliant white with matching white leather. All you need to complete the racing legend’s look is a flowing head of hair, a big moustache, a pair of mirrored aviators, and a Cuban cigar…

Sprint finish

The Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale is one of the quintessential 1950s automotive shapes. Franco Scaglioni’s sinuous and sultry body weakens knees and causes jaws to drop as much today as when it was revealed in 1957. This meticulously restored example was converted to right-hand drive when it was imported to the UK in 1964 and is arguably one of the finest Sprint Speciales in existence.

From Surrey to Switzerland

In a world of ever-discerning enthusiasts and tighter event entry requirements, it’s proving harder and harder for top-tier collectors to get their names on the map. This would be no such problem with this unique 1954 Aston Martin DB2/4 bodied by Swiss coachbuilder Graber.

The Old Green Girl

This 1955 Land Rover Series 1 is no stranger to us here at Classic Driver. The ‘Old Green Girl’, as it was affectionately known by its first Australian owner, starred in the magazine in 2016, when we took it to London for a spot of sightseeing. One of the most original Series 1s in the world, this well-travelled Landy is ready for the next chapter of its life to be written.
