Broad Arrow Zoute Concours is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling automotive gatherings in Europe this year. The debut event brings together some of the most legendary circuit and rally cars, including icons that made motorsport history. With the BMW 3.0 CSL, Ferrari Daytona, and Lancia Stratos leading the lineup, this celebration of speed and heritage promises to captivate collectors and enthusiasts alike.
BMW 3.0 CSL: The Spa-Winning Batmobile
The undisputed star of the Broad Arrow Zoute Concours is the 1976 BMW 3.0 CSL Group 2. Known as the ‘Batmobile,’ this lightweight coupé dominated touring car racing in the 1970s. Its high-revving straight-six delivered around 300 hp, perfectly matched with its aerodynamic bodywork. This specific car claimed overall victory at the Spa 24 Hours in 1976 and won its class at Le Mans in the same year, cementing its place in motorsport folklore. Today, it stands eligible for prestigious historic racing events, including the Le Mans Classic, making it a jewel for serious collectors.
Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona: Competition Meets Elegance
The 1970 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona, converted to Group 4 competition specification, brings Italian glamour and raw racing spirit. With its re-liveried homage to the class-winning 1974 Le Mans Daytona, it combines historical racing pedigree with road-legal practicality. Its 4.4-litre V12 engine ensures both power and presence, while its FIA documentation makes it eligible for the most prestigious events worldwide. Few cars balance luxury and motorsport heritage as effortlessly as this Daytona.
Rally Legends: Lancia Stratos and Fiat 131 Abarth
Rallying heroes also take centre stage at the Broad Arrow Zoute Concours. The 1974 Lancia Stratos, designed by Bertone and powered by a Ferrari V6, remains one of the most iconic rally cars ever produced. This Group 4 specification example comes restored and finished in striking Pirelli livery, ready to remind enthusiasts why the Stratos dominated the World Rally Championship in the 1970s.
The Fiat 131 Abarth adds another chapter in rallying glory. Built in limited numbers, it helped Fiat secure three Constructors’ titles. This example, campaigned by Markku Alén and restored to concours condition, offers collectors the chance to own a true piece of rally history. Its Olio Fiat factory livery recalls the golden years of international rallying.
Lancia Delta and Citroën BX 4TC: Rare Group Rally Machines
Another standout is the 1989 Lancia Delta HF Integrale 8V Safari, a Martini Works car that raced in Kenya’s punishing Safari Rally. Almost untouched since its racing days, it represents the toughness and style of Group A rallying.
Even rarer still is the Citroën BX 4TC, one of only 86 built before Group B rallying was banned. Its 200 hp turbocharged four-cylinder and distinctive wide-body design make it a highly unusual yet desirable piece of motorsport history. This example has just 180 km on the odometer, preserved almost exactly as it left the factory.
A New Stage for Broad Arrow
The Broad Arrow Zoute Concours marks an important step for Broad Arrow as it expands into the European collector car scene. Held during the Zoute Grand Prix Car Week in Knokke-Heist, Belgium, the event attracts collectors who appreciate both provenance and passion. With more than 75 collectible cars in the catalogue, the spotlight shines brightest on these circuit and rally legends that embody the golden eras of motorsport.
Summary
The Broad Arrow Zoute Concours unites motorsport legends in one unforgettable event. From the Spa-winning BMW 3.0 CSL to the Ferrari Daytona, Lancia Stratos, Fiat 131 Abarth, and rare rally machines, this gathering celebrates power, history, and exclusivity.
