Classic & Sports Car – Moss' Lister-Jaguar to star in Scottsdale sale

A former Team Cunningham 1959 Lister-Jaguar Sports Racer once campaigned by Stirling Moss is one of the top lots at Bonhams' eighth annual Scottsdale auction in January.

The Frank Costin-penned car, chassis number BHL 123 was also raced by Walt Hansgen, Bob Grossman and Ivor Bueb.

What's more, it's an SCCA C-Modified National Championship Winner, too.

Original, rare and successful, it's sure to attract a lot of attention when it goes under the hammer at the Arizona sale in the new year.

Once raced by Stirling Moss, this Lister-Jaguar will cross the block in Arizona next January

However, that's not the only particularly special lot on Bonhams' books for its Scottsdale auction.

Behold, the sole surviving Maserati A6G/2000 Spider – what a stunner!

One of a trio built with coachwork by Frua, this super-rare car has won trophies at Villa d'Este, The Quail and Pebble Beach, no less, and it's coming to the US for January's sale.

This 1952 Maserati A6G/2000 Spider is a very rare car

While we're sure there will be some more exciting models coming to the catalogues of the world's biggest auction houses ahead of the Scottsdale sales, these two rarities have certainly set the bar rather high!

Bonhams' sale will take place on 17 January 2019 at the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa.
