1995 McLaren F1 GTR
Class 7: Murray’s Masterpiece-The Magnificent McLaren F1
Entered by: Private Collection
The 1995 McLaren F1 GTR was said to be 90 per cent road car and 10 per cent race car, while the 1996 version moved closer to a 50:50 split. This example is the first of nine ’96-spec GTRs built and was the factory prototype and press car, which incorporated numerous features that found their way onto the eight that followed. Despite being the blueprint for the race cars, chassis IOR would never compete in a race. David Brabham used the car in pre-qualifying for the 1996 Le Mans 24 Hours, and finished eighth fastest in class for Kokusai Kaihatsu Racing.

1932 Bucciali TAV8-32 V12 ‘Flèche d’Or’
Class 2: Les Grandes Routières-Avant Garde Elegance
Entered by: Private Collection
Having previously manufactured cars under the ‘BUC’ brand at Courbevoie, Paris, Paul-Albert Bucciali made magnificent prototypes with front-wheel drive under the Bucciali name, including the outrageous TAVI for the 1926 Paris Salon. This was followed by four other prototypes equipped with 6, 8 and 16-cylinder engines and different bodies until 1930. Then a sixth prototype with a long Mercedes-Benz Type S 3.75m wheelbase which received an improved gearbox and front-wheel-drive assembly. This magnificent new TAV8-32 model, initially equipped with an 8-cylinder Continental engine and a ‘Paris-Nice’ spider coachwork and then, in 1932, a 5-litre Voisin V12 type C18H engine and a superb Saoutchik Art-Deco style saloon bodywork, named “Flèche d’Or” (Golden Arrow). This unique Bucciali was used frequently until the gearbox broke in 1936, this happening after Bucciali had ceased activities in 1933. Of the six Bucciali manufactured from 1926 to 1932, only three remain, including this TAV8-32 V12; the most beautiful and extraordinary of them all.

1938 Bugatti Type 57 C Atalante (Duraluminium)
Class 2: Les Grandes Routières-Avant Garde Elegance
Entered by: Private Collection
The Bugatti Type 57, plus its later variants (including the celebrated Atlantic and Atalante) was an entirely new design created by Jean Bugatti, the gifted son of the Mulhouse marque’s founder Ettore Bugatti. The highly-prized Bugatti Type 57s were built from 1934 until 1940, with a total of 710 examples produced. The Type 57 featured an 8-cylinder 3.3-litre engine, widely considered to be one of Ettore Bugatti’s greatest creations. This particular car, being part of the third and last series (with hydraulic brakes), and a 57 C model with supercharger, producing 160 horsepower, offers superb performance in every respect. Fitted with the most exotic Atalante body this car combines the most sought-after technical specification with the most beautiful body design. Of a total of some 41 Atalante versions produced as 57 and 57 C, only a few were made as a 57 C with Supercharger. With an original 79,000 km (less than 50,000 miles) from new, this desirable car is in outstandingly authentic and mostly original condition, right down to its Grey Elephant hide and aubergine carpeting.

1935 Delahaye 135 MS
Class 2: Les Grandes Routières-Avant Garde Elegance
Entered by: Gregor Fisken
The Delahaye 135 is one of the greatest pre-war French sports tourers in the Grandes Routières idiom, this stunning 1935 example built to the highly desirable “Modifée Spéciale” (MS) specification.
A complete ground up restoration of the car was completed over a two-year period from 1989-1991, with its coachwork beautifully and precisely built to a Figoni et Falaschi style by the highly regarded coachbuilder, Crailville Motors. The 135 MS’s engine has been overhauled and completed to the very highest standards by renowned experts, Jim Stokes, in 2020.

1984 Ferrari 288 GTO
Class 6: Felice 75esimo Anniversario – Maranello’s Anniversary Specials
Entered by: Simon Furlonger
Based around the beautiful Pininfarina designed coachwork of the Ferrari 308 GTB, the 288 GTO was the first in a line of ‘special series’ Ferrari production cars. Created as a homologation version of a 308 GTB, the 288 was reportedly produced for Ferrari to compete in Group B racing, with only 272 examples being made from 1984-1986. However, Group B was scrapped and the GTO was never able to compete. All 272 examples produced in aluminium and fibreglass remained as purely road cars and with all finished in Rosso Corsa, except for one example sprayed Black. The 288 GTO is powered by a longitudinally mounted 2.9-litre twin turbocharged V8, pushing out around 400bhp, enough for a 189mph top speed, making it one of the fastest road-legal cars of its era. The 288 GTO remains the rarest of the hailed ‘Ferrari Big Five’, with the special ‘Anniversary’ models that followed, the F40, F50, Enzo, and La Ferrari, all being produced in higher volumes.

1963 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso
Class 3: (Prancing) Horse Before Cart-Ferrari’s Front-Engined V12s
Entered by: Private Collection
Built for a period of just 18-months from 1963 to 1964, using certain design features of the Ferrari 250 GT and the 250 GTO, it was Pininfarina’s idea to make a car more comfortable than the 250 GT SWB. The 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso is considered by many as one of the most beautiful Ferrari ever made, the model attracting notable personalities such as Steve McQueen and Eric Clapton. Its V12 engine was less highly tuned than the 250 GT SWB and mounted further forward to allow more interior space. Of particular design interest were the huge instruments located in the centre of the dashboard.

2002 Ferrari Enzo
Class 6: Felice 75esimo Anniversario -Maranello’s Anniversary Specials
Entered by: FICA FRIO Ltd.
Named in honour of the Company’s founder Enzo, this early 21st century hypercar – one of 399 cars produced, with the 400th example built and donated to the Vatican for charity, which was later sold at auction for $1.1million – featured a longitudinal mid-mounted 5,998cc VI2, developing 65lbhp and redlining at an ear-bursting 8,200rpm. Able to accelerate from 0-97km/h (0-60mph) in just 3.1 seconds, and on to 161km/h (100mph) in 6.6 seconds, the Enzo topped out at 218mph (351km/h). With dramatic Lamborghini-style ‘scissor’ doors, the Enzo used Formula1-derived aerodynamics, helping to shape the striking Pininfarina design, with advanced aerodynamic tools to produce downforce and eliminate lift. The low, angular front helped pin the nose of the car down in faster corners, while the rear diffuser and flat floor negated the need for a large rear spoiler.

1965 Ferrari 275 GTB/4
Class 3: (Prancing) Horse Before Cart-Ferrari’s Front-Engined V12s
Entered by: Private Collection
The Ferrari 275GTB/4 is considered to be one of the finest GT cars ever built, the model being the first Ferrari road car to employ a four-cam engine with a design that was a direct result of the racing engines used by the Scuderia in previous years. The transaxle layout chassis was introduced in 1964 on the 275GTB and GTS and had since been honed and refined to make a perfect match with the new powerful engine. Only 330 examples of this elegant Ferrari sports car were built from 1966-1968 and it is one of the most sought after Ferrari models today.

1967 Ferrari 330 GT Coupé by Michelotti
Class 3: (Prancing) Horse Before Cart-Ferrari’s Front-Engined VI2s
Entered by: Private Collection
This unique car, making its British debut here today, was originally sold as a Ferrari 330 2+2 through the famous USA Ferrari Importer Chinetti to a New York client. The car suffered an accident just one year later, damaging the body but fortunately leaving the mechanicals and chassis unharmed. With the increasing standardisation of Ferrari products, Chinetti saw a rising demand for unique one-off model for his US customers. He took the car back in and sent it to Carrozzeria Michelotti in Italy to have the car re-bodied. The result was this beautiful 2-seater coupé, which thanks to the longer 330 2+2 platform, offered a roomier interior cabin than other 2-seaters with ample space.

1989 Ferrari F40
Class 6: Felice 75esimo Anniversario -Maranello’s Anniversary Specials
Entered by: Henry Pearman
Built to mark Enzo Ferrari’s 40 years since founding his eponymous sports car make, the F40 was introduced as the ultimate supercar of its day, and the last to be personally overseen by Enzo Ferrari before his death in August 1988. Based on a 288 GTO floorplan, the F40 made extensive and pioneering use of exotic hi-tech composites and save weight, this explaining the model’s lack of internal door trim and carpets, making the driving experience very raucous. With twin turbos, the 3-litre V8 developed 478bhp – enough to make it the world’s fastest car, clocked at 201.3mph. Demand for the F40 was so strong in period that the planned 400 examples set to be built in Maranello finally turned into a production run of 1,315 units.
