THE LONDON CONCOURS 2024

London Concours️ July 26, 2024

@goodingandcompany have something very special going under the hammer at their upcoming Pebble Beach Auction.Allow our friends at @classicdriver to explain:With only five rumoured to have been built, we’d forgive you for not immediately recognising this ultra-rare Lamborghini 5-95 Zagato, and we suspect only a select few will know it drew inspiration from the even more obscure 1995 Lamborghini Raptor concept, which Zagato also penned. It was this Raptor concept that caught the eye of Swiss collector Albert Spiess, who originally commissioned the first of these outstanding Lamborghinis.The 5-95 debuted at the 2014 Concours d’Eleganza Villa d’Este as a celebration of both Lamborghini’s 50th and Zagato’s 95th anniversaries. Based on the underpinnings of the Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera, the 5-95 features a 562 horsepower 5.2-litre V10, helping it hit 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 202 mph. While there’s no shortage of incredible details to admire in the 5-95’s design, we must highlight its insane front wing, mounted just below the windshield. Now you can add this amazing Zagato-bodied Lambo to your collection as this unique satin yellow example heads to the @goodingandcompany Pebble Beach sale on August 16th.Pics: @goodingandcompanyRead the full story at classicdriver.com

Some more pictures, courtesy of @tfjj, of the stunning Neptune Blue McLaren P1 HDK by Lanzante (1 of 9) that was on show at our event in June. What an amazing machine! Hard to believe the P1 design is now 11 years old.

This fantastic 1986 MG Metro 6R4 was one of the starts of our 'Great British Racing' category this past June. MG Rover had turned to Williams to create its Group B weapon, eschewing turbocharging in favour of a 410bhp naturally-aspirated V6, mounted right in the middle of the car.Pic: @charlieb.photography

Here’s something different for a Friday, the Italian Viper!More from our friends at @classicdriver:This 2010 Alfa Romeo TZ3 has to be one of the most spectacular, yet unknown of Zagato’s modern coach-built wonders. In part, that’s because just nine of these were ever made, built as both a tribute to the bewilderingly beautiful Giulia TZ and TZ2 of the 1960s and to celebrate Alfa Romeo’s 100th birthday. However, while the exterior screams Italian opera, under the hood you’ll find pure American heavy metal.That’s right, unlike the 8C Competizione-based prototype, the nine production versions of the TZ3 were based on the Dodge Viper ACR as a result of the ongoing FCA merger at the time. Raise that enormous bonnet, and you’ll find a 600-horsepower 8.4-litre V10 connected to a six-speed manual gearbox. Move round to the rear, and you’ll notice the TZ3 adopts the TZ2’s Kamm tail, while there’s a curious lack of exhausts, which instead exit out the sides just like the Viper. If you ask us, the TZ3 represents a perfect blend of rarity, Italian style, and American muscle, so don’t miss out on the @goodingandcompany Pebble Beach sale on August 16th if you agree!Visit classicdriver.com to learn more.
