RmSotheby’s | COLECCIÓN GENE PONDER – 22 – 24 septiembre 2022

CON MÁS DE 120 COCHES, MOTOS Y BARCOS Y MÁS DE 1000 LOTES DE AUTOMOBILIAEscondido en las afueras de la ciudad de Marshall, en el este de Texas, se encuentra un oasis para los entusiastas de los engranajes: una serie de edificios de tiendas y garajes de última generación repartidos por una finca bien cuidada. Dentro se encuentra la Colección Gene Ponder, un conjunto ecléctico de más de 120 automóviles, motocicletas y botes, así como una envidiable y amplia selección de automobilia. Ponder, un emprendedor en serie, construyó y vendió no uno, sino dos fabricantes de gabinetes comerciales con sede en Marshall de gran éxito, lo que le permitió disfrutar de su pasión de toda la vida por los automóviles emocionantes.Los purasangres de primer orden destacan en la colección, incluidos un Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster de 1960, un Maserati 3500 GT Spyder de 1960, un Ferrari 330 GTC de 1967 y un Porsche 356 A 1600 Speedster de 1956; un par de deslumbrantes Aston Martin DB2/4 Drophead Coupe presenta un notable ejemplo único de Graber. También se ofrece una impresionante encuesta de MG que abarca desde 1927 hasta 1971, con rarezas como un MG PB Airline Coupe de 1935 en el centro del escenario.

La colección también se destaca por sus recreaciones hechas a mano, muchas de las cuales son autos deportivos europeos casi inalcanzables que rara vez se ven fuera de los museos o prestigiosas colecciones privadas. El amor del Sr. Ponder por estos autos raros lo llevó a encargar sus propias recreaciones con la ayuda de un respetado carrocero de Texas. Se utilizó el antiguo método inglés de ruedas para formar una carrocería de aluminio que se asemeja lo más posible a los originales. Si bien algunos autos tienen el chasis y el tren de rodaje de la marca en la que se recrean, aunque algunos años más nuevos, la mayoría presenta los cimientos de un chasis y tren de rodaje de Jaguar de la década de 1950, un favorito personal del Sr. Ponder. La relación de trabajo de más de cuatro décadas entre el Sr. Ponder y el carrocero de Texas ha producido un impresionante conjunto de esculturas rodantes, cuyo costo nunca se cuestionó.

La impresionante porción de automobilia de la colección del Sr. Ponder abarca desde mascotas hasta letreros clásicos, máquinas de discos, surtidores de combustible, luces de neón, arte mural y mucho, mucho más. No importa su interés, realmente hay algo para que todos descubran en la Colección Gene Ponder.

RmSotheby’s | GENE PONDER COLLECTION – 22 – 24 september 2022

FEATURING OVER 120 CARS, MOTORCYCLES, AND BOATS AND OVER 1,000 LOTS OF AUTOMOBILIA

Tucked away on the outskirts of the East Texas city of Marshall is a gearhead’s oasis: A series of state-of-the-art shop and garage buildings dotted across a manicured estate. Housed within is the Gene Ponder Collection, an eclectic assemblage of over 120 cars, motorcycles, and boats, as well an enviable and expansive selection of automobilia. Ponder—a serial entrepreneur—built and sold not one, but two highly successful Marshall-based commercial cabinetry manufacturers, allowing him to indulge in his lifelong passion for exciting automobiles.

Blue-chip purebreds highlight the collection, including a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster, 1960 Maserati 3500 GT Spyder, 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC, and 1956 Porsche 356 A 1600 Speedster; a pair of dazzling Aston Martin DB2/4 Drophead Coupes features a notable one-off example by Graber. Also on offer is an impressive survey of MGs spanning 1927 to 1971—with rarities such as a 1935 MG PB Airline Coupe taking center stage.

The collection is also notable for its hand-crafted recreations, many of which are of all-but unobtainable European sports cars seldom seen outside of museums or prestigious private collections. Mr. Ponder’s love of these rare cars led him to commission his own recreations with the help of a respected Texas coachbuilder. The age-old English wheel method was used to form aluminum bodywork that hews as closely as possible to the originals. While some cars have chassis and running gear from the marque in which they are recreating, albeit a few years newer, most feature the underpinnings of a 1950s Jaguar chassis and running gear, a personal favorite of Mr. Ponder. The four-decade-plus working relationship between Mr. Ponder and the Texas coachbuilder has produced a stunning assemblage of rolling sculptures, the cost of which was never questioned.

The impressive automobilia portion of Mr. Ponder’s collection ranges from mascots to classic signage, juke boxes to fuel pumps, neons to wall art, and much, much more. No matter your interest, there is truly something for everyone to discover in the Gene Ponder Collection.

Bizzarrini entrega el primer 5300 GT Corsa Revival

Bizzarrini entrega el primer 5300 GT Corsa Revival

5 de  agosto de 2022 :  tras la presentación del Bizzarrini 5300 GT Corsa Revival a principios de este año, el primero de los 24 coches de producción ha salido hoy de las instalaciones exclusivas de Bizzarrini en el Reino Unido. Este primer automóvil de cliente se entregó a su nuevo propietario y se completaron y enviaron más ejemplos hasta que la producción limitada se entregue por completo en 2023.

Cada uno de los 24 modelos de continuación está acabado en Bizzarrini Rosso Corsa, con círculos numerados blancos: cada cliente puede elegir su propio número único para aplicarlo a mano en su automóvil. Esta librea y, de hecho, el número total de autos que se están construyendo es un homenaje al 5300 GT Corsa chasis #0222, que alcanzó el estatus de leyenda en las 24 Horas de Le Mans de 1965, cuando los pilotos de carreras franceses Regis Fraissinet y Jean de Mortemart condujeron el 5300. para terminar primero en su clase. El chasis n.° 0222 no solo corrió la carrera a una velocidad promedio de 169 km/h, sino que el propio Giotto Bizzarrini condujo el automóvil de regreso a casa en el norte de Italia inmediatamente después de la carrera.

Cada automóvil de la serie Revival representa la interpretación más auténtica del 5300 GT Corsa disponible. Construido usando los planos originales, utilizando componentes de proveedores originales, con el aporte de expertos involucrados originalmente en el proyecto 5300 GT, es lo más representativo posible del original, mientras cumple con los estándares de seguridad modernos. Para asegurarse de que el automóvil se vea exactamente como se vería en la línea de salida de Le Mans en 1965, el equipo de Bizzarrini se convirtió en arqueólogo automotriz rastreando a los responsables de la restauración del chasis #0222 donde las capas de pintura habían sido minuciosamente quitadas una y otra vez para revelar el Pintura roja racing original. Luego, este tono se combinó con el color del Revival para crear Rosso Corsa Bizzarrini 222.

Los vehículos construidos a mano utilizan una carrocería compuesta de una sola pieza liviana, sobre un marco de acero que proporciona un peso total en la región de 1230 kg. En el interior, los dos asientos están protegidos por una jaula antivuelco de seis puntos más completa y una celda de combustible de seguridad, que cumple con las normas de carreras históricas del Apéndice K de la FIA. La suspensión trasera independiente según la especificación Corsa de Giotto y los frenos de disco integrales se combinan con un motor V8 de 5300 centímetros cúbicos específico para la época con carburadores Weber 45 DCOE (Doppio Corpo Orizzontale E) que desarrollan más de 400  caballos de fuerza para brindar una relación potencia-peso comparable con un motor moderno . -día superdeportivo.

Simon Busby, CMO de Bizzarrini, dijo:  “El equipo está increíblemente orgulloso de ver el primer 5300GT Corsa Revival salir de la fábrica camino a su nuevo propietario. Relanzamos Bizzarrini a principios de este año como el comienzo de una visión a largo plazo, esta primera entrega al cliente es un paso importante en el camino hacia la realización total de esa visión. A medida que continuamos produciendo el resto de esta serie de vehículos, continuaremos construyendo sobre la pasión y los valores del fundador con la próxima etapa del desarrollo continuo de nuestro superdeportivo moderno”.  

Bizzarrini mostrará un modelo de especificación de producción completa de la serie revival en el Concours of Excellence en Hampton Court del 2 al 4 de septiembre de 2022  .

ACERCA DE BIZZARRINI
Bizzarrini es la marca italiana de automovilismo fundada en 1964 por el legendario ingeniero Giotto Bizzarrini, un nombre icónico en la historia automotriz italiana. La marca renació en 2020 bajo una nueva propiedad para reunir la mejor excelencia en diseño, artesanía e ingeniería para una nueva generación de coleccionistas y entusiastas. La compañía opera en Londres, Ginebra, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi y Dubai. www.Bizzarrini.com  Instagram:  @BizzarriniDesign   |  Facebook  : @BizzarriniDesign |   LinkedIn: Bizzarrini Wikipedia : Bizzarrini

Bizzarrini Delivers First 5300 GT Corsa Revival

Bizzarrini Delivers First 5300 GT Corsa Revival

5th August 2022 – Following the unveiling of the Bizzarrini 5300 GT Corsa Revival earlier this year, the first of 24 production cars has today left Bizzarrini’s dedicated UK facility.  This first customer car has been delivered to its new owner with further examples being completed and shipped until the limited production run is fully delivered in 2023.

Each of the 24 continuation models is finished in Bizzarrini Rosso Corsa, with white numbered roundels – each client able to choose his own unique number to be hand-applied to their car. This livery, and indeed, the total number of cars being built is an homage to the 5300 GT Corsa chassis #0222, which achieved legendary status at the 1965 Le Mans 24 Hours, when French racing drivers Regis Fraissinet and Jean de Mortemart drove the 5300 to finish first in its class. Not only did Chassis #0222 run the race at an average speed of 169km/h, Giotto Bizzarrini himself then drove the car back home to Northern Italy immediately after the race.

 

Each car in the Revival series represents the most authentic interpretation of the 5300 GT Corsa available. Built using the original blueprints, utilising components from original suppliers, with the input of experts originally involved in the 5300 GT project, it is as representative of the original as possible, while conforming to modern safety standards. To ensure the car looks exactly as it would have on the starting line at Le Mans in 1965, the Bizzarrini team became automotive archaeologists tracking down those responsible for restoration of chassis #0222 where layers of paint had been painstakingly stripped back and back to reveal the original racing red paint. This shade was then colour-matched for the Revival to create Rosso Corsa Bizzarrini 222.

The hand-built vehicles use a lightweight single piece composite body, over a steel frame giving an overall weight in the region of 1230kg. Inside, the two seats are protected by a more comprehensive six-point roll cage and safety fuel cell, meeting FIA Appendix K historic racing regulations. Independent rear suspension to Giotto’s Corsa specification and all-round disc brakes are paired with a period-specific 5,300 cubic centimeter V8 with Weber 45 DCOE (Doppio Corpo Orizzontale E) carburettors developing over 400 horsepower to give a power to weight ratio comparable with a modern-day supercar.

Simon Busby, Bizzarrini CMO said, “The team are incredibly proud to see the first 5300GT Corsa Revival leave the factory on the way to its new owner. We relaunched Bizzarrini earlier this year as the start of a long-term vision, this first customer delivery is an important step along the road to fully realizing that vision. As we continue to produce the rest of this series of vehicles we will continue building on the passion and values of the founder with the next stage of the ongoing development of our modern supercar.”  

Bizzarrini will show a full production specification model of the revival series at the Concours of Excellence at Hampton Court 2nd-4th September 2022.

Simon Busby, Bizzarrini CMO said, “The team are incredibly proud to see the first 5300GT Corsa Revival leave the factory on the way to its new owner. We relaunched Bizzarrini earlier this year as the start of a long-term vision, this first customer delivery is an important step along the road to fully realizing that vision. As we continue to produce the rest of this series of vehicles we will continue building on the passion and values of the founder with the next stage of the ongoing development of our modern supercar.”  

Bizzarrini will show a full production specification model of the revival series at the Concours of Excellence at Hampton Court 2nd-4th September 2022.

Bizzarrini Delivers First 5300 GT Corsa Revival

Bizzarrini Delivers First 5300 GT Corsa Revival

5th August 2022 – Following the unveiling of the Bizzarrini 5300 GT Corsa Revival earlier this year, the first of 24 production cars has today left Bizzarrini’s dedicated UK facility.  This first customer car has been delivered to its new owner with further examples being completed and shipped until the limited production run is fully delivered in 2023.

Each of the 24 continuation models is finished in Bizzarrini Rosso Corsa, with white numbered roundels – each client able to choose his own unique number to be hand-applied to their car. This livery, and indeed, the total number of cars being built is an homage to the 5300 GT Corsa chassis #0222, which achieved legendary status at the 1965 Le Mans 24 Hours, when French racing drivers Regis Fraissinet and Jean de Mortemart drove the 5300 to finish first in its class. Not only did Chassis #0222 run the race at an average speed of 169km/h, Giotto Bizzarrini himself then drove the car back home to Northern Italy immediately after the race.

 

Each car in the Revival series represents the most authentic interpretation of the 5300 GT Corsa available. Built using the original blueprints, utilising components from original suppliers, with the input of experts originally involved in the 5300 GT project, it is as representative of the original as possible, while conforming to modern safety standards. To ensure the car looks exactly as it would have on the starting line at Le Mans in 1965, the Bizzarrini team became automotive archaeologists tracking down those responsible for restoration of chassis #0222 where layers of paint had been painstakingly stripped back and back to reveal the original racing red paint. This shade was then colour-matched for the Revival to create Rosso Corsa Bizzarrini 222.

The hand-built vehicles use a lightweight single piece composite body, over a steel frame giving an overall weight in the region of 1230kg. Inside, the two seats are protected by a more comprehensive six-point roll cage and safety fuel cell, meeting FIA Appendix K historic racing regulations. Independent rear suspension to Giotto’s Corsa specification and all-round disc brakes are paired with a period-specific 5,300 cubic centimeter V8 with Weber 45 DCOE (Doppio Corpo Orizzontale E) carburettors developing over 400 horsepower to give a power to weight ratio comparable with a modern-day supercar.
