1968 Glas 2600 V8 2+2 Frua Sans réserve Constructeur : 1968 Glas 2600 V8 2+2 Frua Modèle : Sans réserve Carte Grise : Titre de circulation allemand N° Chassis : Châssis n° 602001279 - Modèle d'une grande rareté - Restauration intégrale de grande qualité - Dessin original de Pietro Frua - Sans réserve Produite à quelque 300 exemplaires, cette voiture est une véritable rareté, en plus d'une réelle originalité historique et technique. Tenant son nom de la famille Glas connue après-guerre pour ses petites Goggomobil, concurrentes des Messerschmitt KR 200 ou BMW Isetta, la marque basée à Dingolfing s'est lancée dans les années 60 sur le marché des coupés haut de gamme capables d'avaler les autoroutes à grande vitesse. C'est ainsi qu'est née la Glas V8, dont le moteur 2,6 litres doté d'un arbre à came en tête par rangée de cylindres développait 150 ch. Pour la carrosserie, Hans Glas s'est tourné vers Pietro Frua, ce qui explique l'air de famille de la Glas V8 avec la Maserati Quattroporte dont Frua était également l'auteur. Les difficultés financières de Glas ont toutefois conduit à son rachat en 1966 par BMW, qui a notamment apposé son logo sur le capot de la 2600 V8. Immatriculée pour la première fois en 1968, cette voiture d’après la copie des documents d’enregistrement espagnol, n'a connu que deux propriétaires avant Neuser (qui en a fait l'acquisition en 2021) et a fait partie de la collection espagnole d'Antoni Riba et était immatriculé : B-629870. Elle était dans un bel état de conservation d’origine quand elle a bénéficié d'une restauration complète de très grande qualité. Rien n'a été laissé au hasard et le résultat est impressionnant avec une carrosserie superbe et des enjoliveurs et accessoires en parfait état, y compris l'insigne P. Frua sur le montant arrière. L'intérieur est de même facture, avec des sièges en cuir beige complètement refaits, un tableau de bord magnifique avec ses sept compteurs et un autoradio Skreibson derrière le grand volant en bois. Les travaux effectués sont documentés par des centaines de photos dans une clé USB livrée avec la voiture, qui n'a couvert que 1 670 km environ depuis sa restauration. Rare et dans un état exceptionnel, cette Glas V8 ne manquera pas d'intéresser les amateurs de voitures sortant de l'ordinaire, témoins de la diversité du paysage automobile allemand des années 60.   - Extremely rare model - Completely restored to a high standard - Original design by Pietro Frua - No reserve   With just 300 examples built, this car is genuinely rare, as well as being truly novel, both historically and technically. Taking its name from the Glas family, known after the war for its Goggomobil microcars, which competed with the Messerschmitt KR 200 and BMW Isetta, the Dingolfing-based company entered the market in the 1960s for upmarket coupés capable of eating up the miles on motorways at high speed. And so the Glas V8 came about, with a 2.6-litre engine with one overhead camshaft for each bank of cylinders developing 150bhp. For the bodywork, Hans Glas turned to Pietro Frua, thus explaining the resemblance between the Glas V8 and the Maserati Quattroporte, also designed by Frua. Glas’ financial difficulties, however, led to the company being bought in 1966 by BMW, who duly attached its badge to the bonnet of the 2600 V8.   First registered in 1968, this car had only two owners, according to copies of its Spanish registration documents, before Neuser (who acquired it in 2021) and was part of the Spanish collection of Antoni Riba, with the registration number B-629870. It was in well-preserved original condition when it underwent a complete restoration to a very high standard. Nothing was left to chance and the results are most impressive: the bodywork is superb and the wheel trims and accessories, including the P. Frua badge on the rear pillar, are in perfect condition. The interior is just as good, with completely reupholstered seats in beige leather, a magnificent dashboard with seven gauges and a Skreibson radio behind the big wood-rimmed steering wheel. The work carried out is documented by hundreds of photographs on a USB key supplied with the car, which has covered only 1670km or so since its restoration.   Rare and in exceptional condition, this Glas V8 is sure to appeal to enthusiasts of unusual cars, which bear witness to the diversity of the German automotive landscape of the 1960s.   1968 Glas 2600 V8 2+2 Frua No reserve Constructeur : 1968 Glas 2600 V8 2+2 Frua Modèle : No reserve Carte Grise : German title N° Chassis : Chassis no. 602001279 - Extremely rare model - Completely restored to a high standard - Original design by Pietro Frua - No reserve   With just 300 examples built, this car is genuinely rare, as well as being truly novel, both historically and technically.
