1972 BMW 3.5L CSL BATMOBILE - FALTz-ALPINA


Like most BMW E9 Competition Coupes of the period, this car began life as a CS Race car, run under the
Faltz-Alpina Racing Team banner and competed in German/European Championship races in 1972. Sold
to Josef Benedens later that year, the car was upgraded to Group 2 CSL Batmobile specification by
Manfred Nicht and continued to compete in the German/European Championship through to 1975.
Later sold to Peter Herke, a German racer based in the USA, the car continued to be campaigned in the
American IMSA Sportscar Series. Recently subjected to a significant restoration by marque specialists to
correct Group 2 Specification, this CSL Batmobile is ready to race competitively


1967 ALFA ROMEO TIPO 33/2 DAyTONA COUPE


Chassis 019 was built in 1967 by Autodelta, the Alfa Romeo works competition company, for the 1968
Daytona 24 Hours. 019 was one of three Tipo 33/2’s that Alfa Romeo entered, finishing first, second and
third in its class. Following the race, 019 remained in the USA where new owner Mr John Martino entered
the car in the Six hour race at Watkins Glen. The car then exchanged hands a couple of times before
going to Japan, where it formed an important part of both the Hayashi Collection and the Abarth Gallery
Museum. It remained there for many years, before being bought to the UK in 2001 when a significant yet
sympathetic restoration was carried out, in order to fully race prepare the car. Since completion of the
restoration, 019 has been campaigned at many prestigious historic events including the Le Mans Classic
