NIELS VAN ROIJ DESIGN DAYTONA SHOOTING BRAKE HOMMAGE IS A TRIBUTE TO THE FAMOUS 1972 CHINETTI-COMMISSIONED FERRARI MODEL
ASTON MARTIN LAGONDA SERIES 3 SHOOTING BRAKE BY ROOS ENGINEERING LTD A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A TRULY UNIQUE COLLECTOR CAR
THESE DESIRABLE SHOOTING BRAKES TO BE OFFERED AT ZOUTE CONCOURS AUCTION ON 9 OCTOBER 2026 AND THE ZURICH AUCTION ON 7 NOVEMBER 2026
Broad Arrow Auctions to present two exceptional examples of the shooting brake genre at its upcoming Zoute Concours Auction and The Zürich Auction.
The first of the two desirable shooting brakes is one that made headlines when it was revealed in July 2026. The work of renowned Dutch designer and coachbuilder, Niels van Roij Design, the 2026 Daytona Shooting Brake Hommage is a modern-day interpretation of the famous 1972 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Shooting Brake commissioned through Chinetti Motors. The second is a unique 1987 Aston Martin Lagonda Series 3 Shooting Brake with a conversion by Switzerland’s Roos Engineering Ltd that adds significantly to the dramatic wedge-shaped design of this iconic model.
“Shooting brakes have always captured the imagination of collectors and enthusiasts,” says Gregory Tuytens, Head of Consignments for Belgium and The Netherlands at Broad Arrow Auctions. “Niels van Roij is already renowned for his incredible Ferrari and Rolls-Royce creations and his latest, the Daytona Shooting Brake Hommage, created great excitement when it was revealed in July. It presents a very exciting opportunity for a collector to acquire a genuine one-off with remarkable modern provenance.”
2026 Daytona Shooting Brake Hommage by Niels van Roij Design (Estimate: €450.000 - €650.000)
Revealed in July 2026 at the prestigious Royal Automobile Club Concours and lauded by the world’s top motoring press, the Daytona Shooting Brake Hommage is the latest of the genre to be handcrafted by renowned Dutch designer and coachbuilder, Niels van Roij. Paying tribute to the iconic Daytona Shooting Brake commissioned by Luigi Chinetti Jr in 1972, this superb example of modern coachbuilding and bespoke design elegantly reimagines the original with its striking black paintwork, cognac leather interior and central-mounted instrument binnacle.
Strictly a one-off, it is based on a 2009 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and while the impressive V12 beneath the long bonnet is largely untouched, almost every element of the car has been altered to create something truly unique. This includes the 3D printed carbon fibre within the elegantly sculpted nose, the beautifully hand-formed bodywork that extends to the curvaceous rear with its deep window, and the diffuser that surrounds the bespoke double-barrel shotgun exhaust tips. The electrically operated butterfly doors that curve around the handcrafted shooting brake luggage compartment feature strong and flexible Plexiglas and intricate, hand-milled hinges, each a work of art in themselves.
Showing only 43,802 kilometres at the time of cataloguing—and selected use since its conversion, the Daytona Shooting Brake Hommage required over 15,000 hours of design, engineering and craftsmanship to create and presents a unique opportunity for collectors to acquire a genuine piece of modern coachbuilding history.
It will be presented at the Zoute Concours Auction on 9 October 2026 at the prestigious Approach Golf in Knokke-Heist, Belgium where Broad Arrow returns in collaboration with Zoute Grand Prix Car Week. Approximately 70 exceptional collector cars will be offered for sale, spanning a wide variety of categories, marques and price points.
1987 Aston Martin Lagonda Series 3 Shooting Brake by Roos Engineering Ltd (Estimate: CHF 250’000 – CHF 350’000 | OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE)
The Aston Martin Lagonda was revolutionary for its imposing wedge-shape design, luxurious interior and futuristic technology. This Series 3 is one of only 76 produced by the British marque and the only one to have officially been approved by the factory for conversion as a shooting brake. Acquired in 1996, it was entrusted to Roos Engineering Ltd in Switzerland, who undertook the dramatic transformation, including using factory-supplied parts.
Completed in 2000, the conversion involved a significant overhaul of the mechanical components, but it is the shooting brake style that truly captures the imagination. The windows and luggage compartment bodywork were all custom-made, as were the carpets and other trim elements. The interior was redesigned in Connolly leather and Alcantara and the rear bumper features revised parking and signal lights to ensure they can be seen when the tailgate is open.
One of the rarest iterations of the Aston Martin Lagonda, this Shooting Brake conversion captures the attention with its unique styling and precise Swiss craftsmanship.
“The Aston Martin Lagonda Series 3 Shooting Brake is one of the most dramatic models of its era,” says Paul Gaucher, Head of Consignments for Switzerland at Broad Arrow Auctions. “While distinctively British in character, is so perfectly suited to the Swiss market—it is exceptionally bespoke and exclusive while also being tremendously usable. It’s a car that is equally at home packed with skis in St. Moritz as it is full of shopping bags on Bahnhofstrasse in Zürich.
This unique Aston Martin will be one of approximately 60 collector cars that will be presented at The Zürich Auction on 7 November 2026. Returning to the luxurious Dolder Grand for the second year as the official auction partner of Auto Zürich, the auction promises an unforgettable experience for buyers and sellers on the shore of Lake Zürich.
