This man traded his Porsche collection for the ultimate 3 Alfa Romeo GTAs For many, Porsche represents the ultimate garage goal. But after Paolo Vanotti experienced his friend’s Alfa Romeo GTA, he traded his rare Porsches to start the Alleggerita Collection. We joined the trio of lightweight Alfas at the Balocco testing grounds for a very special day of filming with @weekend.heroes... Read the full story at classicdriver.com Photos by @stephan_bauer

Gran Turismo Alleggerita What’s better than driving an Alfa Romeo GTA on the Balocco test track on a wet autumn day? Well, driving three of them back-to-back... Read the full story at classicdriver.com Video: @friendsandfellows @alex___schiller Photos: @stephan_bauer Production: @weekend.heroes

Memorable sales 10/10: 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB. A special coloured example of one of the greatest cars ever created. #250swb

Memorable sales 09/10: 1987 Porsche 959 Sport. A true Porsche unicorn with just 29 examples built. Its very low original mileage and prominent ownership history make this 959 Sport even more special. #959sport #porsche959sport

Memorable sales 08/10: 1966 Aston Martin DB5 Shooting Brake. We sourced this Shooting Brake - one of just 4 LHD examples ever built - for the Golden Age Collection and it was subsequently shown at the Villa d‘Este Concorso in 2024. 📷: @stephan_bauer #db5shootingbrake #astonmartindb5

Memorable sales 07/10: 1968 Lamborghini Miura P400. We love the Miura dearly and this is one of several we handled in recent years. 📷: @stephan_bauer

Memorable sales 06/10: 1964 Porsche 904 GTS. A great example with period race history and documented provenance from new, even retaining its original engine. #porsche904 #porsche904gts #904gts

Memorable sales 05/10: 1950 Aston Martin DB2 Works Team Car. This unsuspiciously looking little DB2 deserves a bit of back story, because it is simply unbelievable: “VMF 64“ is the car, which ultimately put Aston Martin on the map of post-war racing. It is by far the most successful of the 5 works DB2 racing cars, with two 24h LeMans class wins, two Mille Miglia class wins and a 3rd OA at LeMans. Despite being subjected to some nine grueling speed events, including two Le Mans races, two MM, two Alpine Trials and an Ulster TT, VMF 64 never suffered a single DNF during its entire career! But VMF 64’s post racing history is equally exciting: After a showing on the AM stand at Earl’s Court in 1952 it went on to be the company’s owner David Brown’s personal car and was used in numerous factory advertisements. Brown turned down many offers for the car, but was ultimately persuaded to sell it to a close friend of his in 1957, the Hon. Gerald Lascelles, cousin of the Queen and later president of the BRDC for 27 years. All this is evidenced by the correspondence between Brown, Lascelles and the works. The totally unrestored car remained in the Lascelles family for 52 years, just being kept up to date mechanically. 📷:@stephan_bauer #vmf64 #astonmartindb2 #db2teamcar

Memorable sales 04/10: 1957 Ferrari 250 PF Convertible S1. Just 40 units were built in total and this example features the bumperettes as well as the covered headlamps. In our opinion these S1 PF convertible are as beautiful as a California Spyder.

Memorable sales 03/10: 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder. In our opinion, the first real Porsche race car is also the greatest. 📷: @stephan_bauer #550spyder #porsche550spyder

Memorable sales 02/10: An original LHD Aston Martin DB4GT we sourced for the Golden Age Collection and subsequently exhibited at the Concorso Villa d‘Este. 📷@stephan_bauer #db4gt #astonmartindb4gt

We are presenting some of our memorable sales in recent times. Number 01/10: The Ex-Dieter Quester BMW M1 Procar „Alpina“, an extremely well-documented and preserved example of the iconic race car. 📷@stephan_bauer #m1procar #bmwm1procar #bmwm1
