THE CONCOURS D'ELEGANCE OF LA BAULE (FRANCE) CELEBRATES THE PRESTIGIOUS FACEL 2
During the recent Concours d'Elégance of La Baule, the exceedingly rare Facel II - the fastest four-seater car of its time - has hypnotised the many passionate spectators.
The birth of Facel Vega in the fifties created a new dream for millions of enthusiasts who expected a new ultra-bright star in the automobile heaven.
Fastest, more powerful and more elegant than its competitors, the Facel II was the swan song of a phenomenal manufacturer.
La Vie de l'Auto, the French collectors' Bible, celebrates the legendary prestige of this fabulous Grand Tourisme.
The spectacular dashboard of the Facel II looks like a private jet cockpit. Like the Bentley Continental R, there are not enough Facel II survivors (around 200 built) to meet the demand of collectors...
Bentley Continental R 1952, the most exclusive luxury Sports Car of its time: only 204 built. A decade after, the fast, powerful and admirable Facel II was the next "best sports car"- only 184 ever built.
Current market values range : 250/300.000 € (Facel Vega HKII), 800.000 € (Ferrari), 350-450.000 (Bizzarrini).... and around 350-450.000 for the Bentley continental.
FACEL VEGA HKII 1963, with very rare manual Pont-à-Mousson gearbox, Silver / Black leather, very good original condition, available immediately. Price: 225.000 €.

Available. PRICE : 62.000 €
This Appia Zagato boasts a specific rear shape : fenders are enlarged to accept larger tires. Also, the rear light clusters are identical to
a well-known Zagato prototype, #81.201 (here below). It is probable that this specific body shape was done upon special client's request.

AUTODROME IS PROUD TO PRESENT THE LAMBORGHINI PREGUNTA, IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SALE IN PARIS.
Lamborghini Pregunta,
a fabulous V12 one-off prototype Roadster, available at Autodrome Paris -
pictured here in the Sant'Agata region in 1998.
HISTORICAL MILESTONE : A UNIQUE CENTRAL ENGINE / FRONT WHEEL DRIVE RACING CAR
Thanks to some Panhard enthusiasts, we have identified this revolutionary race car... the PMS "PAUL MENISSIER Speciale".
A very modern design for its time, and a revolutionary concept, actually unique in Motor racing history.
Early in the twenties, Harry Miller had considerable succes with his front-wheel drive racers, two times winner at Indianapolis. But this barchetta bult in the 50s is the only racing car that we know in Racing History to have combined front-wheel drive AND mid-engine. It is the mysterious PMS ("Paul Ménissier Spéciale") / Panhard- Alfa Romeo, built on a Panhard Dyna-X modified chassis... We are looking for more information and history about the PMS "Paul MENISSIER SPECIALE": ...
The Stanguellini Bialbero 1956 (Fiat-Osca 1500 cc engine) certainly inspired Paul Ménissier for the design of the PMS;
Small racing cars are becoming highly sought-after. This example changed hands for $ 220.000 in August at Pebble-Beach.

WANTED : LOTUS EUROPE Series 1
A major step in Sports cars History: how Chapman brought the F1 feeling to the road.
The Lotus Europe - type 46 -, revealed in 1966 is one of the very first GT with central engine, very close to a racing prototype...
Only a few have survived. Driving sensations are second to none. The competition (type 47) version was a huge success on track.
The Avengers associated the sleek style of the Lotus Europe with the sexy looks of Linda Thorson (as Tara King)
Sought after by most Collectors, Classic GTs are hand-built automobiles that are impossible to obtain today, because of the legislation.
Interest for these lightweight, sporty road-cars is rising : Alpine 1300S/1600S, early Porsche 911 short wheel base, 1966-67 are steadily on the rise on the market.
A genuine Europe Series 1 (fixed side windows, chassis integrated to bodywork), is worth more than a S1-A or S2, since only a handful still exist in original condition.

CHASING THE COUNTACH LP400 SPIDER "Al Mardikian" ...
Classic car lovers need patience and tenacity to find some very rare automobiles... Sometimes, after long years of research work, you can identify and locate a very special car. Then all the efforts and time bring their reward : you can approach, admire and touch the car that you're in love with...
One Autodrome associate, who has been collecting and restoring Lamborghinis all his life, had fallen in love with a most rare, probably unique Countach LP400 Spider. Her reputation dated back from the 70s : the California based engineer Al Mardikian was famous for importing rare and exotic super cars from Europe. But homologating a Lamborghini Countach was then pure fiction, and don't even think of a custom-built Spider version : risky business...
However, even though it was never fully "federalised" the Countach LP400 Mardikian ended in the garage of the Rock-Star Rod Stewart. Very scarcely used, it remained unseen for decades...and was lately sold to a second owner, from which we managed to buy it. Mardikian was also known for providing a few spectacular sports cars to the producers of Miami Vice...
Please click here to read our page about this extraordinary Lamborghini...
Star Singer Rod Stewart (left with Swedish actress and ex-James Bond girl Brit Ekland) is a long time Lamborghini enthusiast and owner: Miura SV, LP400 Spider, Diablo...
Right picture : Stewart as a passenger in his own Gallardo Roadster - his current wife Penny Lancaster driving.
Mardikian Engineering / Trend Imports, based in California, was an importer of Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Rolls-Royce,
but it also "federalized" and modified European hi-end sports cars, thanks to its DOT-EPA- Engineering facility.
SPA ITALIA MEETING : THE LAMBORGHINI PREGUNTA DISPLAYED TO THE PUBLIC !
The Lamborghini Pregunta on track, driven by Neldo Levy (Autodrome): a thrilling glance at the ultimate Lamborghini prototype. Only one was built.
More pictures of the Lamborghini Pregunta at Spa Francorchamps HERE
On June 28/29, all Sant'Agata fanatics were gathered on the magnificent Spa-Francorchamps race track. An important Lamborghini (and Italian classics) meeting was organised, with all historic Lamborghini models : 350 GT, Espada, Urraco, Jarama, Countach, Islero, Miura, Jalpa, Murciélago, Gallardo ...
Starring, the famous Miura SVJ Spider, formerly Autodrome Collection, and we brought the fabulous prototype Pregunta, belonging to our own Collection, and that we had only displayed once, at the Paris Retromobile Classic Motor Show.
The Pregunta was built based on a factory development Diablo chassis, provided by Lamborghini to the (formerly Bertone Director) designer Marc Deschamps, successor of Marcello Gandini, and who had already created the Lamborghini Athon Roadster. The Pregunta also differs technically from the Diablo - modified chassis, only rear-wheel drive, and front radiators - , and is an extraordinary prototype, that could have been the successor of the Diablo, if Audi-VW didn't purchase Lamborghini late in 2008... "Extreme" projects like the Pregunta and the Canto were discontinued, but fortunately, the Pregunta survived.
Autodrome acquired the Pregunga directly from those who built it : this prototype is now the last survivor of a magic era, when Lamborghini was still identified with the legend of Sant'Agata, and built the most famous and the most outrageous automobiles in the world. Fully driveable, it boasts the fabulous 540 BHP Diablo V12, and claims 333 km/h.
The Lamborghini Pregunta is powered by the all-alloy quad-cam Lamborghini V12 of the Diablo ; this automobile was hand-built in Italy: only one example exist, following the Lamborghini contract demands.

Only two were ever built, and the example offered by Autodrome is the only one complete fitted with the 5-speed ZF gearbox. The Panhard-CD remains not only the very last Panhard race car, it stands as a key mile stone in the History of racing cars.

A few classic cars that you may have bought from AUTODROME Paris or Cannes... |
This Lamborghini Miura SVJ Spider with removable targa top was presented on the Lamborghini stand at the 1981 Geneva Motor Show. It was the very last Miura ever presented in the History. It drew considerable attention from the public and from the Press, but remained unique. The concept of an open Miura triggered rumours about a Miura SVJ Spider limited edition. But this car #4808 remained unique.
Autodrome bought it in 2005 and displayed in the Autodrome-Cannes showroom for the pleasure of our friends and clients. We then undertook a bare metal bodywork (and upholstery) restoration in Lime Green at Carrosserie Lecoq, the bodywork restoration experts. The other "open" Miura (Bertone Roadster, 1968) is now for sale for over 2 M USD.

Ferruccio Lamborghini presents the first V12 Lamborghini engine, designed by ex-Ferrari Giotto Bizzarini.
A few of the fine automobiles parked during the Lamborghini meeting.
AUTODROME was invited to a really unique event : a friendly gathering of all the people who made the Lamborghini legend. Paolo Stanzani, Giotto Bizzarini, Ubaldo Sgarzi, Claudio Zampolli, GianCarlo Guerra, Orazio Salvioli, Fabio Lamborghini, Umberto Marchesi (chassis manufacturer) are only a few names among Ferruccio Lamborghini's Team that came to Sant'Agata for this exceptional days.
From L to R . 1- Neldo Levy (Autodrome) and Cesare Lodi, former Lamborghini test driver . 2- Edmond Ciclet, former Lamborghini France Technical Director talks to N. Levy and Paolo Stanzani, who designed the Miura with Dallara, and the Countach, and Lamborghini CEO in the 70s. 3- Michel Levy (Autodrome) with Giancarlo Guerra, former Scaglietti Head, who then was in charge of the Countach bodywork shop at Lamborghini. 4- M. Levy with Ubaldo Sgarzi, former Lamborghini and Pagani Commercial Director. 5- M. Levy with engineer Giotto Bizzarini who designed the first V12 Lamborghini after designing the Ferrari GTO. 6 - M. Levy with Paolo Stanzani, "God" for many Lamborghini lovers.
MORE PICTURES OF THE EVENT: PLEASE CLICK HERE
This gathering was focusing on people rather than cars, and very different from other events. It is very important to listen to all these key players of a period now gone, so as to record and preserve all the available information on the History of Lamborghini. This avoids all risks of distortion or mishandling of essential historical information. As Lamborghini collectors and historians, we have always strived to stay in direct contact with the former Lamborghini people, and we will continue to update and complete available information on this magical period.
The Lamborghini 350 GT of Edmond Ciclet (former Technical Director of the Lamborghini network in France).
This car is one of the earliest Lamborghini in existence, and it is of course in perfect condition : 1200 km, and back were just a warm-up.
As anticipated, this magnificent classic won the most sought-after prize of the best Lamborghini at the meting..
We also had the opportunity to talk Mr. Pasolini, the man who was in the mythical Miura Jota when it "took off" in the accident that destroyed it completely. Mr. Pasolini woke up at the hospital, and very luckily alive. The Jota inspired the creation of the rare Miura SVJ, now the most sought-after of all Lamborghini. Only one Miura SVJ was built as a Spider, and we have supervised the complete restoration of its superb bodywork and upholstery - see below. This restoration was done in partnership with the prestigious Carrosserie Lecoq, the best expert for this kind of work.

The famous charity event "SPORT & COLLECTION, 300 FERRARI AGAINST CANCER" took place last week-end (1-2-3 june) on the Val-de-Vienne Circuit near Poitiers.

A perfect opportunity to meet our clients and friends, and share our passion for classic and sports automobiles around this wonderful and famous racing car.
We had the pleasure to park side by side the fabulous CD-Panhard prototype built for Le Mans, and the production Panhard-CD : both cars
demonstrate the talent of Charles Deutsch, and engineer who took the Panhard-Levassor story one step ahead - a wonderful end to a Legend.
Our CD-Panhard on the track : taken over by a Ferrari prototype, driven by David Piper in person ! What more cold you dream of ?
A resurrection of a scene from the 24 Heures of Le Mans, with Ferrari (275, 330 P, LM), Ford GT, Cobra, and CD LM 64 as key players.
Another memorable scene, seen from the cockpit of the CD-Panhard LM64: we give way to a fabulous Ford GT40.
In the 1964 Le Mans race, the last Ford to retire driven by Phil Hill & Bruce Mc Laren retired roughly at the same time as our CD #45.

A few classic cars that you may have bought from AUTODROME Paris or Cannes... |
Presentation of the PAGANI Zonda F at AUTODROME Cannes : a friendly gathering around a glass of Champagne.
PASSION FOR CLASSICS : WHY A HANDFUL OF "OLD" AUTOMOBILES ARE SO SOUGHT AFTER...
Passion for Classic Cars is on the rise ; there are good reasons for this, based on objective factors:
Buying a classic is a joy for everyday of your life: admiring and driving a fine car is a privilege, provided by the best egineers in History...
- The beauty of the classic shapes is out of reach today, because of safety rules, crash-test obligations and marketing dictatorship... Never more will car makers be able to offer such exquisite style.
- Classic Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Bentleys are still more affordable than new ones.... And a brand-new car looses half of its value in 5 years, whilst a classic can only rise.
- There is much more demand than offer - and quite simply, that is why the price will only continue to rise, slowly but surely.
As a result, investing a classic car - provided that you can select the right models and one of the best examples available, is the best use that you could make of a reasonable amount of money: from 50.000 to 500.000 Euros, there are opportunities that it would be very wise to catch ...
Very similar to the famous art masters Cézanne, Picasso, Matisse, the greatest car makers of History have now disappeared (with rare exceptions such as Pagani) - very few have been decisive and quick enough to buy theese masters' paintings when they were still affordable.
