This Ferrari F40 was delivered new to Switzerland in July 1991 through Ferrari Suisse Nyon and Walter Hasler AG of Frick. It is a catalytic-converter, fixed-suspension example and remains in its original Rosso Corsa over Stoffa Vigogna specification. Its documented history includes participation in Ferrari’s 50th anniversary celebrations in Italy in 1997 and the marque’s 70th anniversary event at Fiorano in 2017.
Ferrari Classiche certification was completed in October 2018, with the accompanying Red Book confirming the chassis, engine and gearbox. More recently, the car has been maintained by Niki Hasler AG, with servicing recorded in 2023, 2024 and 2025. The 40,000km service was carried out in 2024, while four new tyres were fitted during one of the 2025 visits. It’s covered 38,725km and is estimated at between CHF3,200,000 and CHF3,500,000 at the RM Sotheby’s Zurich auction 2026.
One of three Jean-Pierre Wimille editions built as the first instalment in Bugatti’s six-part Legends series, this 2014 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse was delivered new to Dubai in May 2014 before later ownership in Germany and Switzerland.
The edition was created in tribute to Jean-Pierre Wimille, who helped secure Bugatti’s first Le Mans victory in 1937. Its specification references the Type 57G Tank he shared with Robert Benoist, combining Bleu Wimille paint with exposed dark-blue carbonfibre. Further details include the Circuit de la Sarthe outline beneath the active rear wing, Wimille’s signature on the filler caps and headrests, French tricolour stitching and additional Legends-series badging inside.
Mechanically it retains the standard Grand Sport Vitesse specification, using an 8.0-litre quad-turbocharged W16 producing 1200bhp and driving all four wheels. Bugatti quoted 0-62mph in 2.6 seconds and a 255mph top speed. The car’s service book records maintenance by Bugatti Dubai in 2016 and 2017, at 655km and 2553km respectively. At the time of cataloguing for RM Sotheby’s Zurich auction 2026, it had covered 3766km and is estimated at between CHF2,400,000 and CHF2,800,000.
This early ‘Plexi’ Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona was completed on May 14, 1970 and originally finished in Blu Dino over Nero Connolly leather. Built in left-hand drive with a wooden steering wheel, no headrests and instruments calibrated in miles, it was supplied through Luigi Chinetti Motors to an American resident of Geneva, Switzerland.
Its first owner temporarily took the car to the US, where it was seen at the 1970 United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, before it returned to Switzerland and entered Ferrari’s Assistenza Clienti programme in Modena in 1971. The Daytona was later traded when its owner took delivery of a 365 GTB/4 Spider.
Subsequent ownership took the car to England, where it was repainted yellow and retrimmed in dark green leather. By 1993 it was in the hands of an Italian owner based in the UK, who retained it for many years and showed it at concours events. It later returned to Switzerland and was offered for sale near Lausanne in 2020.
The car retains its matching-numbers 4.4-litre Colombo V12 and was certified by Ferrari Classiche in July 2022, with the accompanying Red Book. A history report by Ferrari specialist Marcel Massini is also included. It is estimated at between CHF600,000 and CHF700,000.
This Swiss-market Porsche 964 Turbo 3.3 was completed in May 1991 and delivered the following month through AMAG Centre Porsche in Geneva. It remains in its original Polar Silver Metallic over black leather colour scheme and was specified from new with an electric sliding sunroof, limited-slip differential and Porsche CD-10 audio system.
Its first owner was Swiss racing driver Heinz Schiller, who competed in Formula 1 in 1962 and later raced a Porsche 718 and 904. After retiring from competition he established a Porsche dealership in Geneva and retained this Turbo for his own use rather than supplying it to a customer. The service book records five visits to AMAG Centre Porsche between August 1991 and September 2001. Later maintenance was carried out by Garage Auto-Rallye in Le Grand-Saconnex, with six further service stamps from November 2006 through to December 2025. At the time of cataloguing it had covered 28,421km and is estimated at between CHF300,000 and CHF350,000.
This Mercedes-AMG One was delivered new to Switzerland in August 2024 and has remained with its first owner since. At the time of cataloguing it had covered 507km.
This example is finished in black with a large silver three-pointed-star graphic over the rear bodywork, Petronas Green accents and forged magnesium wheels with carbonfibre aero covers. The interior combines exposed carbonfibre with black Exclusive Nappa leather and Petronas Green stitching.
Its service history records work by Mercedes-Benz Schlieren-Zürich in March 2025 at 91km and again in February 2026 at 423km. The car is accompanied by its Certificate of Conformity, owner’s manuals, charging cables, AMG earphones, a tool case for fitting six-point harnesses and a special-edition Xbox controller. It is estimated at between CHF2,300,000 and CHF2,500,000 at RM Sotheby’s Zurich auction 2026.
One of 400 road-going examples built to homologate the Fiat 131 Abarth for Group 4 rallying, this 1977 Stradale is finished in Rosso Arancio over a black interior.
The car’s early history is not documented in the catalogue, but by the mid-2010s it was owned by an officer of the Automobile Club of Luxembourg. Invoices record servicing by Autopolis SA between 2016 and March 2022.
It was acquired by the current Swiss owner in July 2022, after which a two-year sympathetic restoration was carried out by Blue Palm Service of Münsingen. Work included a cylinder-head overhaul with new camshafts and valve adjustment, a rebuilt carburettor, new spark plugs, belts, engine mounts, muffler and battery, plus ignition and electrical-system work. The seats were also reupholstered and the paintwork locally refinished. It is estimated at between CHF120,000 and CHF180,000, and offered at no reserve.
This left-hand-drive Aston Martin DB5 Vantage was completed in 1965 and delivered new to Hamburg, Germany. It is one of 21 left-hand-drive DB5 saloons originally fitted with the Vantage-specification 4.0-litre straight-six.
The car left the factory in Silver Birch over Dark Blue Connolly leather and was specified with Marchal fog lamps, Normalair air-conditioning, a Blaupunkt Köln radio and triple-eared chrome wheels. Factory records show it returned to Aston Martin for servicing several times through to April 1966.
By the early 1980s the DB5 was in Switzerland, where it remained with successive owners. A restoration by Roos Engineering in Bern took place between 1999 and 2006, during which the car was repainted midnight blue and retrimmed in beige. By then its original engine had been replaced by another correct DB5 unit, subsequently restamped with the original engine number.
The present owner acquired the car in 2017 and commissioned a further restoration by Aston Martin Works at Newport Pagnell. Completed in 2021 at a reported cost of more than £400,000, the work returned the DB5 to its original Silver Birch and Dark Blue specification and rebuilt the replacement engine to Vantage specification.
The sale also includes a newly built Aston Martin Works Continuation Vantage engine, stamped in reference to the car’s original unit and supplied unused in a crate. The DB5 is estimated at between CHF800,000 and CHF950,000.
This Ferrari 812 Competizione A was completed in May 2023 and delivered new to its first owner in France five months later. It is one of a stated 599 open-top examples built and had covered 1576km at the time of cataloguing.
It’s finished in Extra Range Blu Elettrico over a Cuoio leather interior, with yellow detailing on the brake calipers, tyre sidewalls and exterior carbonfibre elements. Other options include painted Scuderia shields, a removable carbonfibre hard-top and diamond-finished forged wheels.
Inside, the specification includes Cuoio leather, matching Alcantara carpets, Daytona racing seats, blue seatbelts, blue stitching, carbonfibre trim and a yellow rev-counter. It was also ordered with Apple CarPlay, adaptive headlights, a suspension-lift system, passenger display, parking cameras and an upgraded audio system.
The car was registered in Switzerland in April 2025 and has since been maintained by Garage Zénith SA Sion. An oil, filter and brake-fluid service was carried out in September 2025, followed by its most recent inspection in August 2026. It is accompanied by Ferrari’s special-series Yellow Book. It is estimated at between CHF1,600,000 and CHF2,000,000.
This 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400 S was delivered new to France and later owned by Formula 1 race winner René Arnoux. Chassis 4103 is one of 338 P400 S examples built and is an early car, retaining solid rather than vented disc brakes.
Although Bertone records initially specified Bianco Miura over a Gobi and Beige interior, the order was amended before completion and the car left the factory in Rosso Corsa with Nero vinyl upholstery and a Beige headlining. It was delivered through Voitures Paris Monceau and first registered in Paris in June 1969.
The Miura later passed through several French owners before being acquired by Arnoux, who registered it in Isère during his Renault Formula 1 period around the turn of the 1980s. Period photographs show Arnoux with the car, which was reportedly later returned to Lamborghini for restoration.
Now in Switzerland, the Miura is presented in its factory colour combination and retains its matching-numbers 3.9-litre V12. RM Sotheby’s states that most of the original body panels remain, with the rear engine cover known to have been replaced at some point. It is estimated at between CHF1,500,000 and CHF2,000,000.
This 2020 Pagani Huayra Roadster has had one owner from new and had covered 592km at the time of cataloguing. It is one of 100 Roadsters produced and is finished in Rosso Dubai with diamond-cut gold wheels.The interior combines black Malevic leather and Alcantara with red stitching, gloss carbonfibre trim and black-anodised aluminium detailing. The car is also supplied with its matching factory luggage set. An extended Pagani factory warranty is valid until March 2030 and includes three remaining scheduled services. It is estimated at between CHF2,500,000 and CHF3,000,000.
