MAJESTIC PHANTOM II. A Rolls Royce Phantom II is a prestigious and impressive statement of automobile luxury between 1929 and 1935. It was the last RR model developed under the direction and control of company founder Henry Royce, from the initial design sketches to the manufacturing. Power is provided by a 7.7 litre in-line six-cylinder engine with overhead valves generating 120 hp at just 3,500 rpm.⁣ ⁣ Our 1929 example has a saloon body by coach builder Mulliner with a high roof-line for much space inside and an imposing look. This car was part of a Swiss private collection for over 40 years and previously had its home already in Switzerland. It features a highly original condition, but is well preserved including the first, beautifully patinated leather interior. This RR Phantom II is a sophisticated driving experience with an aristocratic touch. Let’s feel like being part of an Agatha Christie novel or the Downtown Abbey movie.⁣ ⁣ #rollsroyce #classicrollsroyce #vintagerollsroyce #rollsroycephantomii #classicdriver #classiccars #classiccartrader #drivetastefully #carpassion

OUTSTANDING SIXTEEN CYLINDER. Even after 50 years in the exclusive classic car trade, there are still new premieres. This it is the first car with a 16-cylinder engine in our portfolio – a 1931 Marmon Sixteen Type 145 Convertible Sedan. ⁣ ⁣ Established in 1902, Marmon was one of the pioneers of the American automobile industry. Marmon's V16 engine was a technical masterpiece, developed by the brands founder Howard C. Marmon. With a displacement of 8 litres, it delivered 200 hp – more power than the supercharged Mercedes cars of the 1930s. Only 390 examples were built in three years.⁣ ⁣ Our Example is a Convertible Sedan by coachbuilder Le Baron, a model of which only 11 cars are known to survive today. It has remained in a private collection in Switzerland for the last 25 years. We love the extremely attractive and elegant two-tone paintwork in dark blue and ‘champagne’ metallic providing a glamorous touch of Hollywood. ⁣ ⁣ This V16 is one of the most extraordinary engines of all time, and an exceptional privilege for just a very few cars. It took a good 70 years before another 16-cylinder engine impressed the automotive world in the Bugatti Veyron in 2005. ⁣ ⁣ #marmoncars #marmonsixteen #classicdriver #classiccars #carphotography #classiccartrader #drivetastefully #carpassion

VINTAGE MOTOR RACING. Our Hudson Super Six Special from 1922 is a time witness into adventurous early motor racing. Originally owned and driven by Argentinian racing driver Antonio Trabucco in the 1920s it was discovered by a European classic car enthusiast in South America in 2014. He had the race car overhauled to well condition and full functionality including its six-cylinder inline engine with a displacement of 4.7 litres and an impressive output of 76 hp. Moreover, it comes with a great package of historical records, in-period photos and some original accessories. You’ll be impressed by the matt black finish and by the hearty engine sound both providing a martial appearance. This Hudson Super Six is the perfect candidate for putting on an impressive show at historic rallies or other vintage events with driving elements. ⁣ ⁣ #americanclassiccars #hudsonsupersix #classicracing #vintagecarracing #prewarracecars #classicdriver #classiccars #carphotography #classiccartrader #drivetastefully #carpassion

BIZZARRINI’S LIFESTYLE MACHINE. Genuine automobile rarities of course have an exclusive nature but should also feature a touch of extravagance and eccentricity. Our new portfolio addition has all these attributes: a Bizzarrini GT Strada 5300. It is undoubtedly one of the most extraordinary automobiles of its time, created by the well-known car engineer Giotto Bizzarrini (Ferrari 250 GTO, Iso Grifo). The most eye-catching is the ultra-flat aluminium body, with a height of just 1.11 metres, designed by Giorgio Giugiaro at Bertone. For the drive train, Bizzarrini relied on solid, powerful US technology by a 5.3-litre V8 Chevrolet 327 Corvette engine with 355 hp. ⁣ ⁣ Our 1968 example was delivered new to Germany with three known owners in a row. Later, in 2001 the sports car was rediscovered and its penultimate owner then realised an extensive, high-quality restoration and kept the sports car in his collection until 2023. As a result, this Bizzarrini is now in excellent condition, and its spectacular appearance will receive attention and admiration wherever it goes. We are mostly attracted by its sophisticated turquoise green metallic paint over cream-white interior with brown suede leather details. Let’s imagine driving this ultimate lifestyle machine of its era into the marina at Portofino or St. Tropez – what an exciting experience !⁣ ⁣ #bizzarrini #bizzarrini5300gt #classicdriver #classiccars #classiccartrader #drivetastefully #carpassion #carphotography
