Pics of vintages I find/see on the net.

Is that a Mercedes C111--I didn't know that there were any in private hands?

 

I might be wrong but that C111 is the only one road-worthy. It has been showed all around the world by MB Classic.

But maybe someone well-connected was able to finally convince them to sell the car. Apparently a really good Sauber C9 (the one who finished 2nd in Le Mans) was also sold to a private collector not so long ago.

 

Its just part of Mercedes Benz Classics mobile marketing campaign. https://www.sgcarmart.com/news/article.php?AID=28073&CT=n

As for the Saubers, I remember Bonhams offering a very good one at their first Paris sale in 08/09 and another offered by ROFGO, the 1989/90 team spare back in 2020. But Coys also seemed to sell one 1988 C9 several times for record sums although his was during one of their less reputable periods. I vaguely recall the suggestion that all Saubers were owned by M-B but I guess that simply isn't so. A bit of brief research revealed

87-C9-01 - via Girardo '22 (ex Sauber museum)
87-C9-02 - Mercedes-Benz Museum
88-C9-03 - Mercedes-Benz Museum (the Le Mans winner)
88-C9-04 - Mercedes-Benz Museum
88-C9-05 - via Bonhams '08 to Private British collection
88-C9-06 - Keller collection
89-C9-A1 - ROFGO '20 (spare chassis) (ex Donington collection and Joe Twyman)
89-C9-A2 - Via Coys, (spare chassis) claimed to be the sole ex Sauber Museum car

 

That’s a lot of horseflesh!

 

OK, missing bumper. But wheels appear to be wider...

 

What color is the leather in the DK engineering SWB?

Would be SWB replica on 330GT 2+2 s-n 6419GT

 

The Amelia last Sunday was a great event, Concours director Matt Orendac and his team did an outstanding job.

2033 GT is a superb SWB Berlinetta.

Is this a restoration shop? Where?

The second photo should be made into a poster.

Fantastic !
