1971 Ferrari 365GTB/4 DaytonaThis morning the latest Coys brochure arrived at PH Towers, meaning we’ve been doing too much dreaming and not enough writing. To make up for it I thought I’d bring you some of the highlights to be expected at ‘Legende et Passion Monaco’, an auction of exotica in Monaco on May 10th. The Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona was 40-years-old this year and remains one of the Italian firm's greatest creations. This Daytona was acquired from second owner Clementino Borghi by Aldo Cudone in 1981 and uprated to full factory specification by Michellotto. The coachwork was done by Bacchelli & Villa, who used original works drawings to make sure it was accurate to the works specification. The riveted Group 4 bodywork includes side-exit exhaust pipes, flared wheel arches covering wider competition wheels, full height faired in headlamps, air splitters atop the front wings, and Plexiglas side windows. The V12 produces 450bhp and the car is fully road legal.
2006 Maserati MC12 CorsaOne of the stars of the auction will be this Maserati MC12 Corsa, which was designed as a race car but is now road legal. There were only 12 MC12 Corsas produced worldwide and the car had been developed due to a growth in track days. This is car number 1 and it has been modified to be used on the road. It is powered by a 6-litre V12 producing 755bhp at 8,000rpm. Weighing just 1,150kg, this car will hit 124mph in 6.4 seconds and go on to a top speed of 207mph.

No classic car auction would be complete without mentioning a crazy Fiat/Abarth-derived creation and this is no exception. Pick of the bunch has to be this gawky-looking, but utterly desirable, 1969 Bianchina Abarth 695 Essesse. This could be the only example ever built and was built to race specification with Abarth cylinders and 76mm pistons, a special camshaft and a twin choke Solex carburettor on an Abarth modified cylinder head and inlet manifold. It was built for a Fiat importer in Barcelona, Spain, and has been fully restored with just 200 miles since. It rides on 12” Campagnola wheels and is soon to be transferred to Italian registration. Estimate is 30,000 Euros.

I know these things are written by sales people but...
Upgrades over its predecessor included better brakes, rack and pinion steering, and modern tube type shock absorbers instead of the older lever arm design. The name referred to its 140 mph (225 km/h) top speed. The XK140 continued to feature the famous Jaguar XK engine with the SE mods from the XK120 as standard, now delivering 190 bhp (142 kW) at 5750 rpm. The special C-Type cylinder head was also carried through from the XK120 catalogue as an option, providing 210 bhp (157 kW).
Not even the marketing man with the thick pencil watching a gauge some boffin called a dyno would have had the nerve to claim 140MPH out of an XK140.

How did the bidding for the Vanwall GPR V12 go on the 3rd March sale? I can't see it in the results section so I assume it didn't sell.
Looks so much fun!

That Maserati is stunning, 0-60 in 6.4 seconds 
a Carrera GT takes 9.9 seconds.
