Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato Sanction III Coupé

Sold for £1,079,000

This is an Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato, but not as you know it. From 1961-‘63, 19 DB4GH Zagatos were built, with a further four chassis numbers allocated to the project but never used. Winding the clock forward nearly 30 years, Aston Martin’s joining chairmen Victor Gauntlett and Peter Livanos decided to put those four chassis numbers to use, partnering with Zagato once again to create four Sanction II Coupés in collaboration with Aston Martin specialist Richard Williams.

Fast forward to 2000, Williams discovered Zagato had made a further two bodies, and gained permission to build two further cars which became known as the Sanction III. It’s one of those machines you see here.

1956 Maserati A6G/54 2000GT Coupé

Sold for £483,000

It’s cars like this that make you wonder how on earth humans can create things so beautiful. An icon of 1950s Italian craftsmanship, this Maserati A6G/54 2000GT Coupé was bodied by coachbuilder Allemano, one of just 21 vehicles to be known as ‘Type C’ — other cars were bodied by Frua and Zagato.

Delivered new to Los Angeles in 1956, it has found homes in the UK and Australia. Mercifully it’s been really used, too, with the odometer reading more than 66,000 miles. Well, if you owned a beautiful, 2.0-litre straight-six Italian coupé from the 1950s, you’d want to drive it everywhere, wouldn’t you?

1977 TOJ SC302 Prototype

Sold for £483,000

Goodwood is often jam-packed with rare and unique machinery. This car is no different, a prototype racer known as the TOJ SC302 Prototype built by German racing driver Jörg Obermoser.

The TOJ, ‘Team Obermoser Jörg’ chassis 302-16-77, was driven in anger in the World Sportscar Championship and European Interserie at tracks like Monza, Le Castallet, Barcelona and Dijon. Its greatest success was at the Nürburgring, its Cosworth DFV V8 powering it to pole position and the race win.

1951 Jaguar XK120 Competition Roadster

Sold for £316,250

Imagine being able to tell your friends you own a Le Mans car? Well, someone is about to be able to do just that as the new custodian of this lovely XK120 Competition Roadster. It was owned originally by Robert Lawrie, a cobbler from Burnley who loved climbing and whose bootmaking capabilities were known across the world.

After a chance meeting with some French climbers who just so happened to be part of the organising committee for the Le Mans 24 Hours, Lawrie set his sights on racing at Le Mans. He raced an Aston Martin there in 1949, finishing 11^th, then crossed the line in 17^th in 1950 with a Riley, before taking this very Jaguar to Le Mans for ‘51, finishing in 11^th position overall and sixth in class. An expert cobbler, he was clearly an expert driver too. 

1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona

Sold for £309,350

It’s a Ferrari Daytona — need we say more? With a top speed of more than 170mph and at the time the most expensive production Ferrari ever, the Daytona is an icon. This lovely 4.4-litre V12 GT hero, chassis 16593, is one of only 150 or so right-hand-drive examples out of a total production run of nearly 1,500, and was delivered new to a customer in the UK in April 1973. It had done 58,000 miles by the time it left for its second home in 1980, and another 12,000 miles followed in the next 12 years. Stored and driven rarely after that, it now hasn’t been used at all since 2014. Whoever’s bought it, we hope they get it up and running again and use it the way its original owner did more than five decades ago.
