This roundup features exclusive pre-war and post-war classics: a freshly restored 1939 Frazer Nash BMW 328, a rare 1934 Invicta S Type with international history, and the unique 1923 Aston Martin Halford Special, all eligible for top historic events.
1939 Frazer Nash BMW 328: The BMW 328, considered the best pre-war sports car, stood out for its advanced specification. Frazer Nash, recognizing its excellence, secured the rights to import the model and received just 45 right-hand-drive units. JPA 3 is one of these and is now in superb condition after a €400,000 restoration by marque specialist Thomas Feierabend. Every mechanical component was rebuilt, with over 2000 detailed photographs documenting the work. Highly regarded in historic rallying and track events, this example comes complete with under-trays, tonneau cover, side-screens, car cover, and extensive paperwork, making it eligible for numerous historic events.
1934 Invicta S Type Chassis 165: One of only 77 S Types built, this example features desirable Carbodies coachwork. Its famous style owes much to the underslung chassis, exposed chrome exhausts, polished bonnet rivets, and a regiment of louvres along its flanks. The car is powered by a 4½-litre straight six with twin carburettors, ignition, and fuel delivery systems, making it as capable as it is stylish. Chassis S 165 is unique as the only Invicta S Type delivered new to India and comes with significant early documentation. Having recently participated in classic events like the Mille Miglia and Goodwood Revival, it remains in excellent mechanical condition and retains matching numbers.
1923 Aston Martin ‘Halford Special’: Chassis 1916 is the sister car to the innovative ‘Razor Blade’. Built as the first Aston Martin for public sale, its story began in earnest after an early crash and was extensively modified by Major Frank Halford with experimental 1.5-litre six-cylinder, alloy block engines, even pioneering turbocharging and supercharging. After years of inactivity, the car was resurrected in the 1970s, reuniting many original parts and an original engine. Restored again in 2008 following a Silverstone crash, it has since enjoyed competitive success in VSCC, Goodwood, and AMOC events. Currently offered by Ecurie Bertelli, it is a proven and highly eligible historic racer, particularly sought after for events like the 2026 Monaco Historic Grand Prix.
