Un Batmobile con 103 años y 16.000 cc




1916 La Bestioni Batmobile

CHASSIS NO: 73924
• From the world-famous collection of Gary Wales
• The 100-year-old Batmobile
• Authorized by George Barris, creator of the original Batmobile
• A spectacular work of art
• Massive 16-liter engine, dual-chain drive


16-liter, 1,007 cid 24 plug six-cylinder Seagrave engine, dual-chain drive, power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes


Created by the internationally known car collector and custom car builder Gary Wales of Woodland Hills, California, this magnificent machine originally started out life as an American LaFrance truck. Seagrave and American LaFrance were revered as the manufacturers of high-quality, reliable and extremely heavy-duty vehicles. The ideal choice of many Fire Departments in the United States with a large enough budget to afford the very best. Many of these vehicles remained in service for decades, a testament to their quality. After their many years of faithful service, they were retired, then used for parts and eventually junked. Seeing a partially striped and decaying century-old Seagrave sparked an idea that could only come from the creative mind of Gary Wales. With all the original fire apparatus missing, but with the drivetrain still intact, this was the perfect canvas on which to paint for Wales. He would save this rare machine and several others like it to construct cars the likes of which the world had never seen before, calling his transformed and finished creations “La Bestioni”.

This huge machine features a 1916 American LaFrance chassis with a massive, 1,007 cubic-inch (16-liter) Seagrave engine that has separate blocks for each piston, giving it massive torque and uses 24 spark plugs (four per cylinder) to run. Power is shifted through a three-speed manual transmission to the rear axle driven by a remarkable dual chain drive system. All this power and torque, plus reduced weight, make it capable of topping speeds of one hundred miles per hour. This La Bestioni also incorporates power disc brakes and power-assisted steering. The original classic design elements remain, but with modern safety features that blend and enhance the overall performance, allowing the driver and co-pilot to safely navigate in modern driving conditions.

Each Gary Wales creation has a theme, and this one is “The One Hundred-Year-Old Batmobile”. This enormous piece of automotive history is not only a salute to the great racing cars of the heroic age, it also pays tribute to one of the most iconic automobiles ever created, The Batmobile. Mr. George Barris, the “King of Customizers”, creator of dozens of famous cars used in television and movies, built the original Batmobile in the 1960s. Barris was a close friend and mentor to Gary Wales and Barris and the original Batmobile were the inspiration for this build. Wales vision was that if a Batmobile had been built one hundred years ago, this is what it might have looked like. Before Mr. Barris’s untimely passing, he presented Mr. Wales with the very coveted George Barris builder badge. Barris stated that this creation was the only other authorized Batmobile other than his original. This very special badge is displayed on the dashboard. This exquisitely crafted, hand-built, artistically brilliant car exemplifies the extreme attention paid to detail present on all of Mr. Wales’s wonderful creations.

A multiple Best of Show and People’s Choice Award winner, this spectacular, bespoke Batmobile is truly unique, an automotive masterpiece that will be the center point of any exhibition.

By the mid-1950s, BMW began offering true luxury models equipped with a new dual-carburetted V-8 engine. But as its reputation was largely linked to economy cars like the Isetta, BMW sought a game-changing model that would project a new identity.

The resulting 507 roadster featured an advanced box-frame chassis equipped with an upgraded suspension, four-speed synchromesh gearbox, and Alfin drum brakes. Most famously, the 507 was clothed with breathtaking lightweight alloy coachwork penned by Count Albrecht Goertz, a timeless design, punctuated by sensual curves, that ranks among the most significant open sports cars of the 1950s.

Just 252 507s were sold between 1956 and 1959, of which 34 were exported to the United States. Owned by celebrities ranging from Elvis Presley to racing driver John Surtees, the 507 has evolved into the most celebrated post-war BMW, a sublime combination of advanced engineering and elegant style.

Benefitting from decades of ownership by one of America’s foremost marque collectors, as well as a recent restoration, chassis no. 70134 is one of 214 Series II examples, which featured a revised dashboard arrangement and a relocated fuel tank, providing more space for the interior and the reclining soft top. Reportedly sold new through Hoffman Motors of New York, the 507 is rumoured to have originally been owned by a Hollywood producer before being acquired by an architect in Jackson, Mississippi. During its life in Jackson, chassis no. 70134 was spotted by a young man named William Young who fell in love with the car’s looks, kick-starting a lifelong relationship with the marque.

During the 1980s, the roadster passed to two more owners in Pennsylvania before being sold to the respected Oldtimer Garage in Switzerland. By 1985 William Young was a successful businessman in Colorado, and when he saw an advertisement for a BMW 507 in Road & Track, he contacted Oldtimer and bought the car sight unseen. Amazingly, that roadster turned out to be chassis no. 70134, the very same 507 he had once admired years earlier.

The 507 became the centrepiece of Mr Young’s collection, which eventually comprised over 30 important classic BMWs. The unrestored roadster attended numerous events of the BMW Classic Car Club of America over the years and was presented at the 2011 Santa Fe Concorso. It was also featured on the cover of Roundel magazine twice, in December 1996 and August 2011. In 2013 the owner finally sold the 507 to a Texas-based dealer, from whom the car was acquired by the consignor in March of 2014.

The BMW has just completed a comprehensive restoration to its original factory appearance, the first major refurbishment of its life, during which a glove-compartment panel with a signature on it was removed and saved. The signature appears to match one on a signed business card of Count Albrecht Goertz, suggesting that the car was once autographed by its legendary designer. The beautifully restored and rare 507 would make a peerless addition to any assembly of important European sports cars.
