Motorcycle
1976
Ducati
750SS
The bevel 750SS is the factory café that followed Paul Smart’s Imola idea into production. This square-case example is genuinely scarce, with a concours trail — not another modern Ducati in race paint.

1978
Fiat
131 Abarth Works Rally Ex–Michèle Mouton
Not another Stradale in stickers. This is a Fiat France Group 4 Corsa 131 that Michèle Mouton took to the top ten at Corsica and Monte — a works car with a named WRC trail.

1930
Brough Superior
SS100 Alpine Grand Sports
One of twenty-one JAP SS100s for 1930, Alpine Grand Sports with Bentley & Draper springing and a Works Record Card. A documented Brough, not another pretty replica.

1964
Plymouth
Barracuda Landau / Targa Prototype
Plymouth never sold a 1964 Barracuda without a full roof. This gold one-off Landau/targa study is the studio’s early open-air experiment — a factory one-off, not a custom chop.

1997
Ford
Mustang Cobra SCCA Trans-Am chassis 33 Ex-Tommy Kendall
Roush chassis 33 is not another Mustang with stickers. It is the works Trans-Am silhouette that won the first eleven races of 1997 with Tommy Kendall — the championship car from the end of Roush’s road-racing era.

Motorcycle
1978
Yamaha
OW31 Ex-Johnny Cecotto
Yamaha never sold the OW31 to privateers. This one is from Cecotto’s 1978 Formula 750 World Championship works fleet — continuous ownership, unrestored, with Imola wins on the frame it still carries.

1995
Ford
Mustang Cobra IMSA “Nobody’s Fool” chassis 23
Roush chassis 23 is not a pony car in costume. It is the tube-frame GTS-1 that took Daytona’s class in 1995 with Newman, Kendall, Martin, and Brockman — a works race car with the race-worn body back on.

2000
Mercedes-Benz
CLK DTM Competition RS00-001
Eight CLK DTMs restarted Mercedes’ silhouette war in 2000. Chassis 001 is the HWA mule the champions sat in before the lights — a works car with a Brazilian endurance coda.

1950
Healey
Silverstone D18
Warwick built about a hundred five of these cycle-fendered racers. Chassis D18 spent six decades proving a Silverstone is a register car with a Mid-Ohio past — not another pretty Healey.

1952
Lazzarino
Sports Racing Prototipo
Most “specials” on auction sites are clever recreations. This one is the opposite problem: a single Buenos Aires coachbuilt sports-racer, commissioned when Ford Argentina could not buy the European weapon it wanted, then raced, altered, shown, and somehow still intact as a one-of.

1957
Fiat-Abarth
750 Record Monza Zagato
Zagato aluminum on a Fiat 600 derivative is already a small club. The Record Monza name marks the chapter where Abarth turned Monza endurance glory into a badged GT — and this example is only just rare enough for Rare Machines, with its year and engine both needing careful checking.

1962
Aston Martin
DB4 S4 Vantage Convertible DB4C/1072/R
About seventy DB4 convertibles left Newport Pagnell. Far fewer wore the Special Series Vantage engine. Chassis 1072/R is that scarce open Vantage with a two-owner paper trail from Woolworth’s MD to Goodwood.

1967
All American Racers
Eagle Mk I Gurney-Weslake #103
Four Mk I Eagles. Three Weslake twelves. Chassis 103 is the American GP car with Ginther, Gurney, and Scarfiotti in the book — and a Mosport podium in the rain.

Car
1991
Jordan
191 chassis 191/3
Seven 191s launched Jordan into Formula 1. Chassis 3 is the de Cesaris points car from Canada and Mexico — 7-Up green, one owner since Eddie sold it in 1992, offered without its engine.

Car
1992
Alpina
B12 5.0 Coupe (#54/97)
An E31 850i is a grand tourer. An Alpina B12 5.0 is a different product with a different VIN language and a production total you can count on two hands of tens. Ninety-seven cars. No U.S. factory allocation.

Nissan
P35 chassis P35-02
Three P35s left NPTI before Nissan killed prototype racing. Chassis 02 is the Mid-Ohio test mule that never got a green flag — extremely scarce, with a substitute V12 disclosed.

Ferrari
Enzo Matte Nero Opaco
Every Enzo is rare. This one left Maranello in Matte Nero Opaco — the only factory matte Enzo — for a Brunei royal brief, then spent two decades proving paint can be provenance.

MV Agusta
F4CC #76/100
Volume superbikes teach you how loud a four-cylinder can be. The F4CC was built to teach something else: what happens when a marque boss puts his initials on a hundred-unit run and empties the racing closet to do it.

MV Agusta
Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro #004/500
Serie Oro is how MV still opens a serious chapter — five hundred numbered Superveloce 1000s, carbon everywhere, early plate #004. That is motorcycle scarcity with a factory contract, not another pretty naked.
