1964 MERCEDES BENZ 220 SE Cabriolet Chassis 11102310055326 French registration 50 000 / 70 000€ The W111 series continues the Mercedes Benz tradition of the 4-seater cabriolet. Launched in 1962 with the 220 SE Cabriolet, the series continued its ascent until 1972 with the 280 SE Cabriolet 3.5. A true synonym for luxury and elegance, the W111 Cabriolet is a "Must Have" in any collection. Designed by Paul Bracq, who at the time was producing his first design for Mercedes Benz, the coupé and its cabriolet derivative are distinguished from the sedan by the absence of wings on the fenders, creating a distinctive elegance. The 220 SE Cabriolet was launched in September 1961 with a 6-cylinder, fuel-injected 2.2 engine developing 120 hp DIN. At the time, priced at 47,000 francs, it was on a par with an AC Cobra. Very elitist, only a handful of examples were ever produced. The model we offer is a 1964 220 SE Cabriolet, equipped with the desirable and rare 4-speed manual gearbox. Presented in a beautiful metallic gray hue, this cabriolet is in good overall condition. The current owner acquired it in 2008, through one of our auctions. Since then, the brakes, upholstery and soft top have all been redone. Never restored, but well maintained over the years, the test drive came out very conclusive. The Mercedes Benz 220 SE is the ideal convertible for the approaching summer season. 1964 MERCEDES BENZ 220 SE Convertible Chassis 11102310055326 French registration 50 000 / 70 000€ The Mercedes W111 series continues the tradition of the Mercedes Benz 4-seater cabriolet.

1989 Porsche 911 3.2 Speedster Serial number WPOZZZ91ZKS151276 Engine: 64K04785 Gearbox: K03794 Turbo Look' bodywork 27,000 original kilometers German registration A deliberate distortion of the bodywork names "Spyders" or "Spider", the speedster appeared in automotive vocabulary after the Second World War, including in its name the notion of "speed" and the contraction with the bodywork roadster, a strict two-seater convertible. Porsche's preserve since 1955, the speedster range saw the light of day with the Porche 356, which featured a taut body and a stripped-down interior including just two seats, a soft top, plastic windows and the removal of the glovebox. Heavily lightened, the car was a hit from the outset, and half of its production was shipped to the United States, where celebrities and amateur drivers snapped it up for its elegance and efficiency. When the 911 appeared in 1963, neither a speedster nor a cabriolet were included in the catalog, and the bodywork fell somewhat into oblivion. But in 1987, at the Frankfurt Motor Show, a prototype was presented to the general public. Based on the 911 Type G, a Speedster body was fitted, thus reconnecting Porsche with its past 30 years later. Better equipped, this new version is less stripped down, but it's the bodywork elements that make this car more of a competition beast than a real weapon on the racetrack. A double hump is fitted behind the user's head, the windshield is removable (as on the 356), an unlined soft top protects the passenger compartment in inclement weather, and the rear seats have disappeared. In 1989, this Carrera Speedster left the factory in its homologated version; two body styles were offered: one based on the "classic" 911 Carrera and another based on the "turbo look" kit, all for a price bordering on the indecent compared with a coupé or cabriolet body. Beyond Porsche's desire to demonstrate its expertise in terms of aesthetics, this is also the farewell series for the second-generation 911. Wishing to repeat its commercial and marketing success, other speedster versions were offered for the 911 type 964, 993 and 996 generations, but without the expected success. In 2019, the brand's customers are offered a real return to its roots, with the final run of the type 991, while the 992 is already in the catalog. With its naturally-aspirated engine, manual gearbox and aesthetics reminiscent of Porsche's past, everything is done to remind people of real driving, a sensational engine in a world where sports cars are becoming heavier and as easy to drive as city cars. Offered at over 270,000 euros, this model is now available at around 400,000 euros second-hand, a successful gamble. The Porsche Speedster model we're presenting is based on the 1989 911 Type G, surely the most mythical in the eyes of collectors. First registered in Germany on June 6, 1989, it had only one owner for 32 years (1989-2021). Today, the car has less than 27,000 kilometers on the odometer. The customer requested a few minor modifications when ordering his speedster, notably the fitting of a USA-style rear bumper reminiscent of the US series cars he grew up with, and a grey paint job to cover the Fuchs rims. Comes with its certificate of conformity, original toolbox and even the rare compressor for the spare wheel. This Speedster is a rarity, but at this mileage, it's an opportunity that doesn't come along twice. 1989 Porsche 911 3.2 Speedster Serial number WPOZZZ91ZKS151276 Engine: 64K04785 Gearbox: K03794 Turbo Look bodywork 27,000 original kilometres German registration A deliberate distortion of the bodywork designations 'Spyders' or 'Spider', the speedster appeared in the automotive vocabulary after the Second World War, including in its name the notion of speed and the contraction with the bodywork roadster, a strict two-seater cabriolet.

[BALLETS - OPERA - RECITALS AND RUSSIAN SHOWS] COLLECTION OF PRINCE ALEXIS MICHAGUINE-SKRYDLOFF. Important set of documents, posters, invitations, visiting cards with handwritten annotations from celebrities of the period, actors, conductors, official members and directors of opera houses, performance programs (with autograph signatures and dedications from actors), letters and correspondence (including Joseph Kessel), autographed photographs (including one of Serge Lifar), press cards, passes, and several hundred press clippings devoted to the prince when he was a singer in Russia, and articles written by the prince when he was a journalist in France after the Russian Revolution, published in the European press of the time. All these documents, dating from 1915 to 1960, are contained in three large black folio albums. Weathered, as is. Biography: born in 1901, Alexis was the son of Prince Nicholas Illarionovich Skrydloff (1844-1918), an admiral in the Imperial Fleet. After brilliant studies at the Petrograd drama school, he took singing, piano and composition lessons, before undertaking numerous concerts in all major Russian cities. After fleeing the Bolshevik revolution and settling in France, he gave his first recital at the Salle Pleyel in Paris on January 22, 1928. From then on, he was a regular participant in major song galas, concerts and musical soirées. The young prince also wrote a memoir entitled "White Russia and Red Russia", published in 1935 by Plon. After a brief film career, he abandoned music to devote himself entirely to journalism, becoming, from the beginning of the Second World War until his death, the specialist on the world of music and one of the main players in the White Russian community in Paris.
