At RM Auctions' London sale on October 26th, two rare machines will cross the block. Rarest of the two is the unique Ferrari Pinin, which was built in 1980 to celebrate Pininfarina's 50th anniversary. Styled by Leonardo Fioravanti, it was the first ever four-door Ferrari. For most of its life, the car has been a show piece only and was fitted with a non-running flat-12 engine. This has been rectified since the current owner acquired the car back in 2008. In charge of 'completing' the car was legendary ex-Ferrari engineer Mauro Forghieri, working for Oral Engineering in Italy. The work was completed in March of 2010 and RM's London sale offers the opportunity to buy the famous show car in full running order.
Also on offer is this Voisin C25 Cimier, which is the two-door version of the Aerodyne that won 'Best of Show' at Pebble Beach earlier this year. It is believed that only 28 examples of the C25 chassis were built in period and for various reasons only very few remain. This particular Cimier boasts all the features that make Voisins so special and it has also survived in remarkably original condition. Unfortunately with an estimate of at least 470,000 Pounds, it is slightly over our budget.
Following the launch of the brand's first hybrid-only model, Lexus have now introduced the F-Sport version of the CT 200h. Mechanically, the car is identical to the base model but it features sportier exterior and interior trim. Lexus do ensure that the changes will not affect the emission or consumption figures.
Earlier this week we reported on Holden's very first concept car and yesterday our friend Daan Hoffmann went to the Motorclassica himself to get a closer look. He returned with a full complement of shots that reveals every detail of this wonderful machine.
