This 1965 Ferrari 275 GTS will be one of the headline lots at Broad Arrow's Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este Auction, being held May 24 and 25. The example set to cross the auction block through Broad Arrow, chassis No. 07305, is presented in the original color scheme of Rosso Rubino Chiaro for the exterior, complemented by Nero Franzi leather inside. 'The Ferrari 275 GTS is a universally stunning and timeless design, and a staple in discerning Ferrari collections across the globe,' says Joe Twyman, Broad Arrow's vice president of sales for Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Approximately 14 years ago, the interior and exterior were restored to factory specifications by Carrozzeria Zanasi in Italy. The car is still fit with its original 3.3-liter Colombo V-12 engine, which delivers 260 hp. The power-train configuration includes a five-speed manual transaxle. According to Ferrari's website, while the 275 GTB was originally riding on alloy rims, the GTS was presented wearing wire wheels. This Ferrari 275 GTS is a convertible that epitomizes the seemingly effortless elegance of the period. Broad Arrow estimates this vehicle's value at between €1.500.000 and €1.800.000 (around $1.6 million to $2 million).

A 1978 Lancia Montecarlo in Photos
More from Robb Report Thinking About Buying a Classic Land Rover Defender Overseas? Learn From My Mistakes. This Ultra-Rare Custom '57 Chevy Convertible Is Heading to Auction Why the Lamborghini Espada Is One of Italy's Most Polarizing Grand Tourers Best of Robb Report The 2024 Chevy C8 Corvette: Everything We Know About the Powerful Mid-Engine Beast The World's Best Superyacht Shipyards The ABCs of Chartering a Yacht Click here to read the full article. This 1978 Lancia Montecarlo sold through Bonhams for approximately $24,800 last year. Lancia's seductive two-seater came to North America as a 1976 and 1977 model called the Scorpion. The name change was due to the threat of litigation from Chevrolet, which had named one of its models Monte Carlo. A total of 7,798 examples of the Lancia Montecarlo were built from 1975 through 1981. The first production car designed and built by Pininfarina, the little Lancia looks like a miniature Ferrari 365 GT4/BB. This 1978 example, with a right-hand-drive configuration, showed 109,000 miles on the odometer when it sold at the Bonhams online auction. The Montecarlo originally came with a Fiat 2.0-liter inline-four engine that delivers 120 hp. While they'll never be highly valued, these cars are an exquisite expression of Pininfarina design flair at its very best. Both the Montecarlo and U.S.-spec Scorpion are best suited to mechanically inclined owners, as most examples have suffered neglect, rust, and maybe even some hideous modifications over the ensuing decades, and will benefit from sympathetic remediation.
