For its fifth participation at Retromobile, Ascott Collection will be presenting a selection of historic racing cars. The Formula 1 car of John Surtees and Mike Hailwood, two world motorsport champions. John Surtees was greatly attached to the SURTESS TS9B # 5, keeping it right up until 1999. This historic F1 car made a name for itself in the streets of Monaco, where it regularly finished among the leaders of the 1966 -1972 editions of the Monaco Grand Prix Historique. The Chevron B16 # 4. No doubt one of the finest prototypes of the 70's. Ascott Collection is proud to have the privilege of offering for sale chassis No. 4, a B16 that is widely known for its authenticity and its history, with participations in the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1970 to its credit: in short, a car that has now acquired considerable rarity value.... Now that historic races have incorporated a new generation of racing cars, Ascott Collection will be exhibiting a 2009 ORECA FLM09 at the Historic Sportscar Racing stand. The HSR hosts a series of historic races on the other side of the Atlantic, including one of the world's finest historic races, the HSR Classic 24 Hours of Daytona. With Lister having relaunched the production of a new series of only 10 Lister Knobblys, Ascott Collection will be offering for sale N° 7, which is ready to race, in its magnificent livery... The gorgeous 1988 MARCH BUICK 86G MOMO will be presented. Bought, sponsored and extensively raced in 1988 by Gianpiero Moretti, the owner of MOMO, it is the most developed MARCH BUICK 86G from the IMSA GTP period. The cars of the Le Mans 24 Hours make up Ascott Collection’s very DNA. This year, three cars from the legendary Le Mans race will be presented at Retromobile. Remarkably, two of them are French and truly bear witness to the golden hours of Le Mans: • The Alpine A310 GTP "Poisson Dieppois" ("Dieppe Fish") of 1977, which is a unique model in the world. • The VENTURI 600 LM Art Car N° 5, which took part in the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1993 and 1995. Lastly, the 1981 LOLA T600 Cosworth completes this retrospective of the Le Mans 24 Hours. Despite having now been slightly forgotten, the car nevertheless holds a very important place in racing history. As the first ground-effect prototype to have raced at the Le Mans 24 Hours, it finished 14th overall in 1981, despite running into gearbox problems right from the very first lap. In 1981, with Guy Edwards and Emilio De Villota sharing the wheel, it won two victories in the World Endurance Championship. Ever since the appearance of the T600, in the absence of any regulations prohibiting it, no racing car has since been designed without a ground-effect diffuser. 1 1971 SURTEES TS9B chassis TS9-05 • SURTEES works Formula One driven by John Surtees and Mike Hailwood • A regular front-runner at the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique • Owned by John Surtees from 1971 until 1999 • 2nd at the 1972 Italian Grand Prix • V8 Cosworth DFV 0 km 2 1970 CHEVRON B16 chassis DBE04 • 24 Hours of Daytona in 1970 • 12 Hours of Sebring in 1970 • An authentic Chevron B16 with documented history • Race prepared by a well-know Swiss workshop 3 2009 ORECA FLM09 chassis no 6 On display at HSR STAND Hall 1 M08 • FLM Champion in 2010 • Completely overhauled, close to new - Fully race-ready • Competitive and particularly economical • Eligible for the Masters Endurance Legends Racing Series in Europe and in the USA 1958 LISTER KNOBBLY CONTINUATION chassis 163 C – Picture not available • Numéro 7 of a serie of 10 • FIA HTP from 2018 • Ready to race 4 1977 ALPINE A310 GTP « Poisson Dieppois » • Developed by Mauro Bianchi • Owned for 41 years by Mr Bernard Decure • Restored and entered in 2018 Le Mans Classic • The only Alpine A310 to have competed at the Le Mans 24 Hours • Eligible for Classic Endurance Race & Le Mans Classic 5 1993 VENTURI 600 LM ART CAR chassis no 5 • 24 hours of Le Mans in 1993 • Art Car at the 1995 Le Mans 24 hours • Rare, easy to service and competitive • Eligible for Peter Auto Global Endurance Legends and the Masters 6 1988 MARCH 86 G MOMO chassis no10 • Born in 1986 as a very rare BMW GTP from BMW USA • Bought , sponsored and extensively raced in 1988 by Giampiero Moretti, the owner of MOMO • 900-plus bhp Buick 3 litre turbo • The most developed MARCH BUICK 86G 7 1981 LOLA T600 chassis HU03 • The very first ground effect prototype, foreshadowing the advent of Group C • Winner of 2 races of the 1981 Endurance World Championship • Eligible for CER 2 and the LE MANS CLASSIC • Powered by the Cosworth V8 DFL 3,3 litre 8 L’exceptionnel, par passion A passion for classic cars is the Ascott Collection company’s very raison d’être Throughout our lives as collectors, we have acquired a wealth of know-how which we are now using for the benefit of an international clientele made up of discerning private individuals and leading institutions.
