SHANNONS ENDS AUCTION PROGRAMME

After more than four decades auctioning classic and collectable cars, collectable motorcycles, heritage number plates and automobilia, Shannons are dropping this side of their business to focus on their core insurance products and the Shannons Club. In an announcement made on 31 October, Shannons cited “an increasing number of competitors offering frequent and low-cost online auctions” as one of the reasons behind the decision to end their auction programme. While Shannons have been offering auctions on a quarterly basis, some competitors are holding auctions monthly and even weekly for individual vehicles. The first Shannons auction was held in Melbourne in 1981. The popularity of these traditional, in-person auction events saw an expansion into Sydney, with auctions later alternating between the two cities. Shannons’ auctions were also held in conjunction with…

33 STRADALE – THE ORIGINAL

The original 33 Stradale from 1967 was derived from the Tipo 33, a mid-engined sports prototype that was one of Alfa Romeo’s most successful competition cars – in its later form. Marking Alfa Romeo’s return to racing, development of what was initially called Project 33 in 1965 was led by the brand’s then President, Giuseppe Eugenio Luraghi, and Carlo Chiti of Autodelta, Alfa’s newly formed racing department. Powered by a bespoke 90-degree 2.0-litre V8, the Tipo 33 won its first event, a time trial at Fléron in Belgium on 12 March, 1967, with Autodelta’s chief tester, Teodoro Zeccoli, at the wheel. Success didn’t continue into that year’s World Sportscar Championship, though, with a best result of fifth. Despite this, there was enough enthusiasm around the Tipo 33 that Alfa Romeo…

BIG BANGERS AT BEND CLASSIC

Part of a Supersprint and Regularity meeting held at The Bend on 28-29 October, the HTC and F5000 events were races, running on the 4.9km International Circuit, rather than the 3.41km West Circuit used by other categories. With 25 entries from NSW, Queensland, WA, Victoria and SA, the Historic Tourers had by far the largest field. They also had something the other categories didn’t – a Top 10 Shootout! That fell to WA’s Paul Stubber in his Camaro, while fifth-fastest qualifier, SA’s Josh Axford, had his Escort RS1600 lose top gear on his shootout lap, dropping him to last. Race 1, Saturday afternoon Stubber led the field away before having an off at Turn 9 on the opening lap. That let Qld’s Craig Allan (Mustang) into the lead. On the…

FERRARI 250 GTO SETS NEW MARQUE AUCTION RECORD

The record price for a Ferrari sold at auction has been reset, following a special auction event in New York this November, conducted by RM Sotheby’s. As part of their Marquee Week Sales of Modern and Contemporary Art, RM Sotheby’s offered a restored 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO. Already regarded as the Holy Grail amongst collectable Ferraris, this 250 GTO had been with the consignor for 38 years, but what set it apart from the handful of others built to ‘Tipo 1962’ specification was its unique early history. GTO ORIGINS Ferrari developed the 250 GTO from their existing 250 GT SWB in response to the FIA’s intention to replace the World Championship of Sports Cars with a new International Championship of Manufacturers for 1962. This would see points awarded only to…

JAGUAR TO FAREWELL F-TYPE V8 WITH ZP EDITION

Jaguar’s transition to a fully electric brand will soon mean no more sports cars with internal combustion engines, ending a lineage that stretches back 75 years to the XK120 and even further for the SS models. Before they close this chapter, Jaguar will produce a limited-edition version of the F-Type – the ZP Edition. “As Jaguar embarks on the boldest transformation in its history, to become a modern luxury all-electric brand from 2025, this is an unrepeatable celebration of Jaguar’s internal combustion sports car provenance,” said Rawdon Glover, Jaguar’s Managing Director. “F-Type has captivated sports car drivers for more than a decade, just as the E-type did five decades before it. The ZP Edition is the ultimate celebration of that lineage, joining an illustrious roster of heritage-inspired collector’s editions including…

FORD FALCON COMMEMORATIVE EDITION

It seems hard to believe, but the last Australian-made Falcon rolled off Ford’s Broadmeadows assembly line seven years ago. Since then, the Falcon has been celebrated in print on a number of occasions, but this book takes it up a notch. Ford Falcon: Commemorative Edition provides the overview of the Falcon’s 57-year production history in Australia that you’d expect, but it also offers new and detailed insights, as well as personal recollections from those who were there when the Ford vs Holden war was at its hottest and ‘Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday’ was a fact and not just a slogan. Published by Gelding Street Press, Ford Falcon: Commemorative Edition is a similar “compilation” book as other titles from this publisher (Bathurst: 50 Years of the Great Race, Ford:…

ABARTH 500e COMING SOON

A new take on the hot hatch will land in Australia soon, with the 2024 Abarth 500e due to arrive in local dealerships before the end of this year. The first fully-electric Abarth, the 500e has been described as the most responsive and exciting Abarth 500 ever. Launching with a limited-edition ‘Scorpionissima’ variant, a ‘Turismo’ version of the Abarth 500e will follow in 2024. Both are powered by an electric motor producing 113.7kW and 235Nm, with a newly developed ‘Abarth Sound Generator’ replicating the note of a high-performance petrol engine. A 42kWh battery provides a claimed 252km range, with charging of up to 85kW and 35-minute 0-80 per cent capacity using a DC charger. Domestic and public AC charging options are also supported.

33 FOR 23

More than 50 years after Alfa Romeo built the 33 Stradale, a roadgoing version of their Tipo 33 endurance racer, the Italian carmaker is revisiting the model in an all-new and very modern way. The product of Alfa Romeo’s Centro Stile in-house design studio, the new 33 Stradale is being described as art in motion and the perfect combination of beauty and technology. Jean-Philippe Imparato, CEO of Alfa Romeo, expanded on the thinking behind reinterpreting this icon from the brand’s past for the new millennium. “With the new 33 Stradale, we wanted to create something that lived up to our past, to serve the brand and to make the Alfisti fandom proud,” Imparato said. “Such a result could only have been achieved thanks to the expertise, hard work and passion…

STOP-START AT SANDOWN

The famous circuit in the heart of Melbourne’s suburbs (that turns 60 in 2024) saw the Under and Over 2 Litre classes separated, with good representation from both. Of the larger-engined machinery, an especially impressive line-up featured no fewer than nine Mustangs, seven Camaros… and five Queenslanders! GROUP ONE – UNDER 2 LITRE AND INVITED CARS The sizzling hot Friday practice taxed man and machine alike, with a line of cars on trailers returning home for major surgery. David Forbes hauled his rapid XK Falcon to Nagambie for an engine transplant, while Philip Barrow needed a new gearbox (yet again) for his fast and furious FJ. Both would return, which proved to be a smart move… Race 1, Saturday afternoon The last few seasons have seen Richard Hill become one…
