1956 Jaguar D-Type - CHF 5,181,250 ($6.4m USD)

One of only 71 original D-Types produced by Coventry between 1954 and 1957. Unraced, matching-numbers example with its original chassis and engine. Full rebuild of the original engine conducted by Sportgarage Ruch AG in 2005, set aside and recently reinstalled in preparation for the sale. Comprehensive braking system rebuild completed in December 2024, a CHF 29'000 investment. Eligible for the world's premier historic racing events including the Goodwood Revival, Le Mans Classic, Mille Miglia Storica, and more. An exquisite example of Coventry's three-time Le Mans-winning machine.
The Jaguar D-Type was produced by Jaguar Cars Ltd. between 1954 and 1957. Designed specifically to win the Le Mans 24-hour race, it shared the straight-6 XK engine and many mechanical components with its C-Type predecessor. Its structure, however, was radically different, with innovative monocoque construction and slippery aerodynamics that integrated aviation technology, including in some examples a distinctive vertical stabilizer. Total production totaled 71 D-Types, including 18 for factory teams and 53 for privateers.
Rules for the 1958 Le Mans race limited engine sizes to three litres, which ended the domination of the 3.8-litre D-Type. Jaguar developed a 3.0 litre version to power D-Types in the 1958, 1959 and 1960 Le Mans races, but it proved unreliable. This spectactular example carries an estimate of CHF 5'250'000 - CHF 6'250'000. ($6.4m USD to $7.2m USD) Here.

1969 Ford Torino Talladega Fastback - $58k

The Ford Torino Talladega is a muscle car that was produced by Ford only during the first few weeks of 1969. 754 were produced. Matching numbers Q-code 428/335 HP Cobra Jet engine. C6 HD automatic transmission. Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.25 gears. Royal Maroon paint. Power steering. Power brakes. Exterior oil cooler. Original bench seat interior. Believed to be 25,000 miles. Highly original.
Talladegas were equipped with the new 428 Cobra Jet, which, while powerful, was intended as a street engine as it developed high torque at low RPMs, rather than a high-revving race engine.
The Torino Talladega did exactly what Ford hoped it would do on the racing circuit: it won 29 Grand National races during the 1969 and 1970 NASCAR seasons. Ford completely abandoned all of their racing programs, starting with the 1970 season.
Today, a Torino Talladega is a collectible car with Hagerty suggesting a concours example trending around $80k. The car went unsold at Mecum Harrisburg in 2020. It appeared at Mecum's event and made $58k.

The Reventón sported exclusive composite carbon-fiber body panels, inspired by the F-22 Raptor fighter jet, over its carbon-fiber and steel main structure.

1959 Scaglietti Corvette

Primarily known for their coachwork on Ferrari race cars, Scaglietti handcrafted three Corvette Italias in collaboration with Gary Laughlin, Jim Hall and Carroll Shelby. Three bare 1959 Corvette chassis were shipped to Scaglietti of Maranello and constructed with a special lightweight alloy body.

Their intention was to race the cars against the Ferrari 250 Testarossas and 250 SWB Berlinettas. Scaglietti's principal customer, Enzo Ferrari, was not pleased, and the cars took more than two years to complete.
The 1959 Scaglietti Corvette Italia was intended to be produced in limited numbers, and would have competed in the same market as high-performance European sports cars.
The concept was to use an inexpensive, reliable American drive train mated with an exotic Italian body. One chassis had a four-speed transmission, the others the powerglide, all came with a 283 cubic-inch engine. One of the Scaglietti Corvettes was advertised for sale in Hemmings in 2020 for $995,000.
