"𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗼-𝗗𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿"
Born in Britain, developed through one of the most fascinating chapters in Dutch GT racing, and still winning races today.

This 1999 Marcos Mantis Challenge is one of just 38 genuine factory-built Mantis racers, and one of only five built in left-hand drive.

After competing in the Dutch Supercar Challenge and Euro GT, it found a new life in historic racing – winning the 2023 Youngtimer Cup and its class at the 2024 Masters Endurance Racing Legends race at Mugello.

▪️ Genuine 1999 Marcos factory race car
▪️ Rare LHD example
▪️ 4.6L Ford Quadcam V8 – 340+ bh
▪️ Engine rebuilt in 2022 – just 19 hours since

A wonderfully analogue piece of Anglo-Dutch GT racing history, and one that’s still very much ready to compete.

We are best known for selling die hard competition cars but we could not resist finding a new owner for this Lamborghini Jalpa that took us right back to the 80's. Phil Collins had a Cameo in Miami Vice as “Phil the Shill” driving a white Jalpa and was uber-cool in his purple suit, English accent and poor manners. At least he got to drive the real deal whereas Crocket and Tubbs had to do with a faux Ferrari Daytona Spyder. Last week the car was collected by die-hard racer van Haver. The car is obviously heading for Florida 🌴🌴🌴

The Ginetta G4R "The Giant Slayer" has found a new home.

Small in size, legendary in reputation. This beautifully rebuilt G4R has earned its place as one of the most competitive pre-'66 GT cars on the grid, taking on — and often beating — machines with far more horsepower.

Recently rebuilt by the factory and ready to race, we're delighted that this remarkable piece of British motorsport history is heading to its next custodian.

We wish the new owner many successful laps and unforgettable races. See you on the grid!
