1972 FIAT 695 SS ABARTH EVOCATION LHD

Stunningly finished in purple and white and has only covered 3950 miles since the conversion and restoration whilst travelling around Italy visiting various shows, photo sessions and doing advertising work. It also won many awards on its travels for the superb condition and artistic unique paintwork. It was recently imported from Italy and the UK taxes are paid. It has a UK MoT and V5 and the new registration for the UK is PJU 869K. We are led to believe that the same owner had the car from new, a total of 44 years. He was il Signor Cocullo who resided in L'Aquila, Italy. We are also informed that he spent several years transforming his 1972 Fiat 500L into the 695 SS Abarth version that you see today. We estimate that the conversion to its present standard with its fabulous paintwork would cost in excess of £30k. You will notice from the images that many of the parts used are genuine Abarth 695 parts. The rear seats of the car have been removed to accommodate the fabulous stereo system which is a Blaupunkt GTA480 stereo unit with infinity 10 subs with real gold wiring creating an astonishing sound. The vehicle has a very special paint finish, many genuine Abarth parts including original Abarth 13 x5 alloy wheels and a special transparent sunshine roof. The many other features include: special hand made bumpers, led lighting, raised rear engine lid, sports exhaust system, outside bonnet, catches, 695 and Abarth badges, door mirrors, Abarth door handles/switches/steering wheel, plus UK and Euro lights. The folder includes HPi certificate, current MoT, copy of Italian title and paperwork, photo albums and 94 images of the car from its original state to the standard it is today. The images include a photo of the 70-year-old owner who converted and carried out the work. Also included is a CD with further images and a document holder. We have never seen a closer evocation to the marque or a vehicle with such a detailed restoration. It is thrilling to drive and an absolute head-turner. Offered at a fraction of its cost

The early 1970s were landmark years for BMW, for not only did the German manufacturer power Jean-Pierre Jarier to the European Formula 2 Championship, but it also captured the European Touring Car Championship using one of the most iconic racing ‘saloons’ of modern times: the 3.0 CSL, known popularly as the ‘Batmobile’.

BMW had returned to six-cylinder power for its range-topping models in 1968 with the launch of the 2500 and 2800 saloons. Also new was the 3.0 CSL’s forerunner, the 2800CS Coupe, though the latter’s running gear had more in common with the existing, four-cylinder 2000C/CS. The introduction of the similarly styled 3.0-liter CS in 1971 brought with it numerous improvements, including four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, and with 180bhp on tap, the model was good for around 130mph. For racing purposes, there was also the lightweight 3.0 CSL.

Visually indistinguishable from its more ‘run of the mill’ relations, (the CS and CSi) the 3.0 CSL (Coupe Sport Leicht) was creative homologation at its best. The BMW engineers’ solution to the marketing department’s requirements was to develop a limited production run ‘homologation special’ to meet the constrictive framework of the Group 2 racing class regulations. By removing the trim; using thinner steel for the main body-shell; aluminium alloy for the doors, bonnet and boot lid; and Perspex for the side windows, a valuable 300lbs (136kgs) in weight was saved – ‘Leicht’ indeed.

Homologated initially with a fractionally over-bored (3,003cc) engine (enabling it to compete in the over 3-litre class) the 3.0 CSL came with 206bhp for road use and well over 300 horsepower for the track. In 1973, the engine’s stroke was increased, upping capacity to 3,153cc (nominally 3.2 litres) and from mid-season onwards the racing CSLs used the so-called ‘Batmobile’ aerodynamic package, developed at Stuttgart University, which consisted of a front chin spoiler, large rear wing, and other various devices. Illegal for road use in Germany, the wings were left in the boot for final installation after purchase.

Thus equipped the Batmobile’s were able to defeat the previously all-conquering Ford Capri RS2600s.

Our very good friend, Toine Hezemans captured the 1973 European Touring Car Championship for BMW at the wheel of a 3.0 CSL and co-drove one to a class win at Le Mans that year with Dieter Quester. Ford bounced back in 1974 but from 1975 onwards the BMW ‘Batmobiles’ won five consecutive European Touring Car Championships, a quite unprecedented run of success.

Beautifully finished in Taiga Green metallic coachwork with contrasting Black original Scheel seats and a period Blaupunkt radio cassette. The car is 1 of a total of 1039 combined LHD & RHD cars manufactured by Karmann for BMW and is car number 426 of 500 RHD supplied new via Park Lane BMW London to Mr Dennis Spight of Kent. The car stayed in Mr Spight’s ownership for the next seven years.

Being one of the original ‘City package’ cars it has the factory fitted chrome bumpers, softer sports suspension, electric windows, radio cassette and Scheel sports seats. The car was later acquired by Mr C. Holliday, it was during his ownership the car underwent significant cosmetic and mechanical works. Once completed the CSL entered into the world of Concours where it won best in class at the 40th anniversary BMW Car Club held at Longleat House. The following year it was exquisitely featured in a motoring magazine with a four-page editorial.

Coming complete with a wealth of invoices spanning 40 years, the complete toolset, owners manuals, press cuttings, magazine editorials, together with details of awards and accolades awarded to the car. This is a special opportunity to buy a true icon of the ’70s.

1972 FIAT 130 COUPE

£17,995.00

i have always marvelled at these exquisite Italian hand built luxury machines, with build-quality that would keep Bentley at arms length, a Ferrari-esque sonorous V6 engine and to-die-for lines, penned by Pininfarina. Ferrari afficianado, Chris Evans has one, as does world-famous automotive guru Martin Buckley, who has been waxing lyrical about the car that Sophia Loren chose as her conveyance of choice for some years.Beautifully presented in Indianapolis Silver, with a sumptuous Teddy-Bear Velour interior, this luxury cruising machine started life in the hands of a well-to-do Italian gentleman, who obviously took exemplary care of his very expensive and exclusive motor-car.

The rear window sports an Auto Club Venezia sticker, which shows his regard for her whilst in Italy. She presents as a 3 year-old car would and has covered a mere 41,000 Miles in her 45 year life-span. Her bodywork is superb, the interior absolutely as new and the engine bay, you could eat your dinner off! The underside has clearly never seen rain and is basically as it left the factory. She has new, period correct tyres, her fluids are crystal clear and her aluminium 3.2 litre V6 powerhouse a symphony of Italian engineering prowess. Since arriving here in 2013, she has been enjoyed by two classic car professionals, as part of their exclusive collections. Looking for an exclusive hand built Italian V6 piece of automotive art, that’s more rare than a Ferrari Dino?
