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.

Lamborghini Reventón

The Reventón debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show and is one of Lamborghini’s rarest cars. It had a total production run of 20 coupes and 15 roadsters and carried an original sticker price of $1.5m. It was named in the Lamborghini tradition after the fighting bull that killed famed bullfighter Felix Guzman in 1943. The car packs a 6.5L V-12 engine pushing 641 bhp through a paddle-shifted E-Gear 6-speed transmission.

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. The Reventón accelerates to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds on the way to a 211 mph top speed.

Driven 168 miles, this example was estimated at Mecum Monterey in 2018 at $1.7 to $2m. The car failed to change hands.

1989 RUF CTR Yellowbird - $4,680,000

One of only 29 W09 Group C Turbo Ruf (CTR) Yellowbirds. RUF’s global breakthrough came in 1987 with the release of the CTR, famously known as the “Yellowbird.” Based on the Porsche 911 Carrera, the CTR featured a bored-out 3.4-liter flat-six engine, twin turbochargers, and a racing-derived fuel-injection system. The mill produced 469 horsepower and was the fastest production car at the time. Paired with RUF’s own five-speed gearbox and reinforced chassis, the car achieved a 211-mph top speed.

Improving performance, buyers could specify a leichtbau—lightweight form of the CTR. This replaced body panels and doors with lighter aluminum. A leather-wrapped Matter aluminum roll cage found its way into the interior along with a set of Recaro Clubsport seats. These changes saved over 400 pounds to give a total weight of just around 2500 pounds. The sprint to 60 mph came in just 3.65 seconds, and to 100 mph in seven. Road & Track was properly impressed with the CTR in 1987 when the magazine named it the “world’s fastest car,” and the name they’d given the car during the test, “Yellowbird,” immediately stuck.

Ultimately, only 29 examples would be built by Ruf, making the car incredibly rare. This example crossed the block at Broad Arrow.

1967-69 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray L88

The L88 was a factory racing option package. The 1967 L88 Corvette was powered by a modified version of Chevy’s 427 V-8. 435hp was claimed, with real output between 540 and 580hp. Four out of the five most expensive Corvettes at auction are L88s. The L88 package was more than just the potent race engine.

Also included were power assisted heavy duty disc brakes, and the F41 heavy duty suspension.

The L88 stayed in production until 1969 with a total of 216 produced. Values of 1967–69 L88s have grown exponentially over the past decade.

The rarest Stingray 427 example from 1967. There were only 20 original factory units produced with half of these convertibles. It sold in 2014 for $3.9m.
