Restored between 2014 and 2018, with a photographic record documenting the work Over £12,000 invested in mechanical work in 2025 by marque specialist Colin Ferns Written inspection report from Colin Ferns included in the history file Desirable four-speed manual gearbox
See full listing
For the design of the W113 SL, Paul Bracq was handed a challenging brief: to bridge the gap between the thunderous W198 300SL and the modest W121 190SL. What he delivered transcended both.

Consignor's opinion

The 230SL was the first and in many respects the purest iteration of the three-model W113 family. Manual-gearbox examples are sought after above all others: the four-speed was a rarer choice than the automatic in period, and the combination of the 2.3-litre injected straight-six with a proper clutch pedal transforms the driving experience into something more sporting than most ‘Pagodas’.
This 1966 left-hand-drive example was first registered in the UK in 1966 and carried the registration ‘VAM 813D’. It was the subject of a comprehensive restoration carried out between 2014 and 2018, the process documented in a photographic record that accompanies the car.
In 2025, the car was submitted to Colin Ferns, one of the most respected marque specialists in the country, for a major service, including a new clutch and further mechanical attention, totalling over £12,000. Mr Ferns personally inspected the car and committed his assessment to writing, rating it 9/10, and the document now forms part of an extensive history file.
The engine is reported to start and run as it should, the factory hardtop fits well, and the soft top stows neatly. Altogether, a fine example of the much-loved Pagoda.

Rare Carbon Black Edition; only 63 UK-delivered examples Supplied with an indoor car cover and a battery conditioner
Advisory-free MOT valid to November 2026 23,000 miles from new
One former registered keeper
See full listing
The Vanquish was already Aston Martin's flagship grand tourer when the Carbon Black Edition arrived for 2015, but the specification changes gave it an altogether darker character.
Exterior chrome was deleted. Carbon fibre was added to the roof panel, front splitter, side strakes, mirror caps, rear diffuser and sill blades. Gloss-black forged alloys with diamond-cut accents were fitted. The result was a car that looked genuinely menacing in a way the standard car, for all its elegance, did not.
The 2015 model year was the first Vanquish to receive the ZF Touchtronic III eight-speed automatic transmission, a change that transformed real-world drivability while sharpening the response of the 6.0-litre naturally aspirated V12's 568 bhp.
Only 63 of these cars were delivered to UK customers.
This example has been in single ownership since 2015, drystored throughout, and shows just 23,000 miles. As the photographs attest, it is presented in exceedingly good order throughout, showing only gentle signs of age-related wear. Open the door, and you’re greeted by an Obsidian Black leather cabin with red piping, carbon fibre fascia trim, and a 1,000-watt Bang & Olufsen BeoSound audio system.
The Vanquish will be serviced by Aston Martin before delivery. An indoor car cover and battery conditioner are included in the sale.

Consignor's opinion

"One of just 63 UK-delivered Carbon Black Edition Vanquishes, in singleownership from new and dry-stored throughout."

One of only 47 Park Ward Drophead Coupés built on the 4 ¼ litre Derby Bentley chassis Major engine overhaul undertaken in 2008-2009, with continued servicing through to 2023 Original registration 'CXM 103' restored by the current owner Originally supplied by Jack Barclay in May 1936 In current ownership since 2008
See full listing
Using somewhat underhanded tactics, Rolls-Royce acquired Bentley Motors in 1931, thus eliminating its main rival. To expand its influence further, the company took a minority stake in coachbuilding firm Park Ward in 1933, beginning a gradual takeover that culminated by the eve of the decade.
Here we have the result of those two purchases: one of the 47 Park Ward Drophead Coupés built on the 4 1/4 litre Derby Bentley chassis. The so-called “silent sports car” was quick, refined, and beautiful, and the buying public adored it.
Chassis B108GA left Jack Barclay's showroom in May 1936.
The vendor acquired the car in April 2008 and promptly set about addressing it properly. Blackmore Engineering, long regarded as one of the finest Derby Bentley specialists in the country, carried out a comprehensive engine rebuild that ran to over £15,000 in labour alone. The sort of work that, done properly, sets a car up for another generation.
Subsequent years have brought continued specialist attention: fuel system work in 2016, cooling system attention in 2023, new tyres, and a new hood lining from Mike Thomas Trimming in 2024. It is presented today in highly usable condition.

Consignor's opinion
Toby Ena-Smith
“One of only 47 Park Ward Drophead Coupés on the Derby Bentley chassis, maintained in working order throughout seventeen years of careful current ownership.”

Italian registered example with documented chain of three private keepers from new Mechanical restoration performed, freshly serviced in 2026 ahead of sale
Original Siata-branded instruments retained Fibreglass bodywork saves approximately 100 kg over the Fiat donor Rare Michelotti-designed coupé
See full listing

Siata began life in Turin in 1926 as a tuning house for Fiat. By the 1960s, they had evolved into something considerably more ambitious: a manufacturer of elegant sports cars that occupied a market well above their Fiat origins. The 1500 TS Coupé is one of their most refined offerings, penned by the legendary Giovanni Michelotti and aimed squarely at the sporting motorist.
The recipe was straightforward and effective: take Fiat's proven 1,481cc inline-four, clothe it in bespoke fibreglass coachwork by Michelotti, saving around 100 kilograms in the process, and price it at a level that made it a genuine alternative to more celebrated Italian machinery. The result sits closer to Ferrari or Alfa Romeo in character than it does to anything wearing a Fiat badge. It is little wonder these cars have become so keenly sought after.
This example was registered on 16th January 1965. It passed through two further private Italian owners before entering the collector market in 2023. Freshly serviced in 2026, it is reported to be in fine running order.
Seldom seen, elegantly proportioned, and carrying the mark of one of Italy's greatest designers. This is exactly the sort of car that rewards the collector who looks beyond the obvious.

Consignor's opinion
Guy Newton
“A seldom-seen and beautifully presented Michelottidesigned coupé with a documented ownership history from new. Freshly serviced and ready to be enjoyed.”

One of only 349 DB4 Series IIs produced; chassis number DB4/259/R
Stored undisturbed in a barn since 1982; in the same family for over 44 years
Traceable ownership history from new, with four previous keepers documented 1971 French registration card
Matching numbers throughout
See full listing
The DB5 may have Bond's endorsement, but it was the DB4 that established the template: a lightweight Superleggera body by Touring of Milan over a steel platform, powered by Tadek Marek's all-new twin-cam straight-six.
With only 1,110 ever made, and the vast majority long since absorbed into private collections, finding one in unrestored condition is a special occasion indeed.
The Series II, which appeared in January 1960, brought the now-iconic forward-hinging bonnet, along with flat opening rear windows, upgraded front brake callipers, and a revised oil pump. Only 349 were built, from chassis number 250. This car is chassis 259, making it among the earliest Series IIs in existence.
Its history is unusually well documented for a barn find. Originally sold new in Paris, the car was acquired by the current family in May 1982. It was placed in a barn and has remained there undisturbed ever since. The seller's father bought it at thirty with the intention of restoring it. He is now seventy-four.
The condition reflects decades in storage. The seller notes encouragingly that the chassis and Superleggera structure show little corrosion. The original engine was dismantled in the 1970s and is believed to be complete, while the David Brown gearbox is also matching numbers.

Consignor's opinion
Eyal Oram
"A matchingnumbers DB4 Series II barn find, in continuous family ownership since 1982 and undisturbed since storage."

VCC dated 1903 (certificate no. 266), London to Brighton eligible
In the same family collection since 1985; museum-stored since 1995
Exhibited at Concours d'Elegance and veteran car events during the 1950s
Old UK buff logbook present
See full listing
Humber was among Britain’s earliest and most ambitious motor car manufacturers, and the little 5HP Humberette, with its 611cc single-cylinder engine and two-speed transmission, represents the marque at its most elemental. This was motoring stripped to its irreducible essentials, at a moment when the very idea of the motor car was still in contention.
This example, car number C155, was originally sourced from an English seller and imported to Sweden in 1976. It was acquired in 1985 to form part of a private museum collection, where it has remained ever since, with no meaningful use and no change of hands. It is now offered following the passing of the previous owner, the first time in forty years it has come to market.
The car has not been started or tested mechanically, and prospective buyers should plan accordingly. The VCC certificate has been misplaced and will need to be re-applied for by the new keeper.
The presentation is one of considered period correctness: green and black coachwork with red accents and gold-toned brightwork, red wire-spoke wheels, Humber Limited side steps, and a front-mounted VCC 1903 Humber plate. A series of rally and concours plaques speak to an active earlier life: the Bath Abbey Concours d'Elegance of 1956, the Bristol MC and LCC Veteran Car Trial of 1953, and the Borough of Yeovil Veteran Car Rally of 1951, among them.

Consignor's opinion
Greg Copeland
"VCC-dated 1903 and with four decades of single-family ownership, this pioneering motor car is presented in museum-grade condition."

World’s only V12-powered G65 AMG 6x6 Mansory Gronos
Documented 6x6 conversion by Chipfactory GmbH, totalling over €745,000
Extensive Mansory Gronos carbon-fibre body package and interior refinement
Finished in Designo Magno Platinum matte paint with Classic Red leather
See full listing
For those who like to fly under the radar, this car probably isn’t for you.
Now recognised as the ultimate in luxury 4x4s, it’s an amusing thought that the ‘Geländewagen’ began life as a no-thrills military off-roader. The original G Wagon was so spartan that it didn’t even come with electric windows, let alone the myriad opulent appointments the model has become known for in recent years.
While the factory-built 5.5-litre V8 G63 6x6 was an incredible machine, this bespoke creation takes a step further by combining Mercedes’ legendary 6.0-litre V12 with a full sixwheel-drive portal axle conversion.
It is an engineering feat that cost nearly €1.3 million to realise, excluding the initial purchase price of the G65 donor car. The transformation, executed by Chipfactory GmbH, included a chassis stretch, the integration of a third axle, and a reengineered drivetrain to support its six-wheel-drive capabilities.
Visually, the vehicle is dialled up to eleven by the Mansory Gronos package. High-grade carbon fibre is used extensively, while the cabin is a sanctuary of Designo luxury, featuring twotone diamond-quilted leather. Passengers get to enjoy a Harman Kardon Logic 7 sound system, ventilated memory seats and rear-seat entertainment.
Offered with APK valid to August 2026, this unique 6x6 is ready for its new custodian.

Consignor's opinion Alex Fischer
“The ultimate expression of automotive excess; this V12powered Gronos conversion is likely the only road-legal example of its kind in existence.”

One of just 2,048 examples of the first year 428-engined Shelby Mustang Matching numbers/colours, original Carlite glazing, and date-coded Kelsey Hayes wheels SAAC-authenticated and Marti Report included Contrôle Technique valid to November 2027
See full listing

Where the GT350 was a circuit-focused evolution of the base car, the GT500 was something altogether more extreme: Carroll Shelby's radical scheme to cram the gargantuan 428 cubic-inch Police Interceptor V8 into the Mustang platform. It was the most powerful road car to bear the Shelby name at the time, and the 1967 model year remains the most coveted expression of the formula.
Consignor's opinion
Alex Cortey

This example was sold new by Sud Auto Quebec to its first owner, Mr Boivert, who kept it until 1984. It passed to Mr Provençal of Quebec, who undertook an extensive restoration, registered the car with the SAAC, and participated in concours events. In 1994, it crossed the Atlantic to a collector in Saumur, France, who used it in historic events and had it featured in several magazines.
The current owner acquired the Mustang in 2017 and has since returned it to its correct Lime Gold finish, fitted it with period-correct Goodyear Speedway 350 tyres, and maintained the car diligently in a heated, air-conditioned garage.
Original Carlite glazing and date-coded 1967 Kelsey Hayes wheels are present, along with the characteristic red underbody finish of Shelby production cars. The fibreglass bonnet and boot lid are as per factory specification. The 428ci Police Interceptor V8, with its dual four-barrel carburettors and C6ME-A block dated 13 February 1967, is paired with a date-code-correct C6 three-speed automatic.
"A matchingnumbers, SAACauthenticated GT500 in its rare factory Lime Gold, with documented history and concourswinning pedigree."

Number 18 of 50 right-hand-drive examples produced

Full BMW dealer service history from new
Private registration 'M3 MNR' included
See full listing
The E36 M3 GT was BMW's parting statement on the thirdgeneration M3: a limited-production, hand-finished distillation of everything the E36 programme had learned.
Where the standard M3 was exceptional, the GT was a cut above. 50 right-hand-drive examples, each built to Individual specification, each carrying the hand-assembled 295 bhp S50B30 straight-six with its upgraded camshafts and modified dual-VANOS system. No two were identical.
This example, number 18 of 50, was purchased new at Bates of Harold Wood BMW and has remained within the same family ever since, passing between two family members before the current owner acquired it in 2001. Since then, it has been garaged and used sparingly, covering a mere 47,370 miles, with fewer than 500 miles accumulated in over two decades of current ownership.
The specification is wonderful: Individual British Racing Green over a Mexico Green Nappa leather and Anthracite Alcantara interior, with M-coloured seat accents and Graphite Bird's Eye maple wood trims. It also boasts the GT aerodynamic package, 17-inch Style 24 alloy wheels, an electric sunroof, a BMW Business RDS cassette stereo, and a six-CD multichanger.
A respray was carried out by BMW, with all exterior seals and trims replaced; new tyres, discs, and brake pads have been fitted allround. The BMW dealer service history is unbroken from the predelivery inspection to the most recent service dated May 2026.

Late Pre-A Coupé, delivered in October 1955 through the Pa. Hahn in Stuttgart
Original factory delivery documentation accompanies the car A photographic record of restoration work is included EU delivery example
See full listing
The 356 is where Porsche begins. Ferry Porsche's decision to base his first production car on the air-cooled Volkswagen architecture established the principles that the company has refined across seven decades of the 911.
Here we have a late example of the ‘Pre-A’, equipped with the desirable 60-horsepower 1,500cc engine, complete with wonderful provenance.
On 3rd October 1955, this car was delivered through the Pa. Hahn dealership in Stuttgart to Mr Stephen I. Richards, a US serviceman, as confirmed by the APO 288 military postal code on the original factory delivery paperwork, which accompanies the car to this day. American servicemen stationed in post-war Germany were among Porsche's earliest and most enthusiastic customers.
The specification reflects its intended market: sealed-beam headlamps, a speedometer calibrated in miles, indicators, and a Telefunken D54V radio, all finished in silver over a red interior.
Seven decades had taken their toll on the bodywork by the time restoration commenced approximately four years ago, and the work was carried out with appropriate thoroughness: the body was stripped to bare metal, and corroded panels were repaired or replaced as required. A ‘0-mile’ replacement motor was fitted, the correct Type 546-2 unit in the correct engine number range for the car’s age.

Consignor's opinion
Victor Sastre
"A late Pre-A Coupé with fascinating early history, delivered new to the EU, it is extensively restored to an exemplary standard."

Striking Nero B/B over two-tone Rosso Ferrari and Nero leather interior
Carbon-ceramic brakes, 'Scuderia' wing shields, carbon-fibre driver's zone, and suspension lift
Documented service history from an authorised Ferrari workshop All components reported to remain in original, standard specification See full listing
When Maranello announced the 488, Tifosi were concerned that turbocharging would sully the mid-engined Ferrari bloodline. But they needn’t have worried. The end product put pay to any concerns, balancing a 3.0-second 0-60 mph time and 203 mph top speed with an on-road character that was surprisingly docile. Here was a full-bore supercar you could actually use every day. No mean feat.
Consignor's
opinion


Utilising a sophisticated folding hardtop that adds under 50 kilos compared to the coupé, the 488 Spider offers the structural rigidity of a fixed-roof car with the immediate thrill of open-air motoring.
This 2018 example, resplendent in Nero B/B, boasts the factoryrecessed 'Scuderia' wing shields and 20-inch forged alloy wheels housing Rosso brake callipers. The interior is equally striking, featuring Crema leather-trimmed Daytona seats with Rosso Corsa centre stripes, contrast stitching, and extensive carbon-fibre inlays.
The car features Ferrari’s coveted suspension lift option, front and rear parking cameras, and a digital dashboard with Apple CarPlay. It also has the benefit of documented Ferrari main dealer service history.
Showing 34,009 miles from new, this 488 Spider has been enjoyed as intended and has benefited from consistent professional care. Originally delivered to the UAE, the car was later registered in the Czech Republic before being brought to Sweden, where it is now located. It comes to market with its service booklet, invoices, owner's handbook, and inspection documents.
Greg Copeland
“The ultimate modern opentop Ferrari, this main-dealer maintained 488 Spider delivers the visceral theatre that's become so synonymous with the marque.”

One of only 682 examples produced worldwide
Carbon fibre door mirrors and rear wing
Retains roll cage, Recaro bucket seats and red Schroth Racing harnesses Accompanied by registration documents, owner's manual and service book Swiss registered
See full listing
The 996.2 GT3 RS laid down the blueprint for every RS that followed. Built in a production run of just 682 units to satisfy homologation requirements, it offered something the standard GT3 did not: an uncompromising commitment to performance at the expense of almost everything else.
Consignor's
opinion
Guy Newton
The naturally aspirated 3.6-litre Mezger flat-six, an engine shared with Porsche's Le Mans-winning GT1 programme, known for its 8,200rpm redline and near-indestructible reliability, drove the rear wheels through a close-ratio sixspeed manual. At 1,360kg, the RS was 50kg lighter than the standard GT3.
This example wears the Guards Red livery package, a colour that runs through the entire car, from the side script decals and wheel centres to the brake callipers and Schroth Racing harnesses, creating a bold contrast against the Carrara White bodywork that looks every bit as purposeful as the engineering beneath it. The carbon fibre rear wing and door mirrors are correct to specification, and the cabin retains its roll cage and Recaro bucket seats.
The car is accompanied by its registration documents, owner's manual and service book. The odometer shows 43,303 km, supported by documented services in 2010 and 2021.
With just 682 units made, opportunities to acquire a 996.2 RS are incredibly rare. This one ticks all the right boxes.

One of 2,890 A110s built with the 1,300cc R12 engine, in '85' specification
Maintained by Alpine specialist Alan Collins; most recently serviced March 2026 Restored to rally specification reportedly by Quest Brothers UK-registered; in current ownership since May 2023
See full listing
Germany had the 911. France had the A110. The difference is that the Alpine weighed just 700kg, roughly 400kg less than the contemporary Porsche. That meant that even a modest 81 bhp 1.3-litre engine was enough to make it startlingly quick. That performance bore fruit. The A110 won the inaugural World Rally Championship outright in 1973, the same year our car left Alpine’s Dieppe works.
This 1973 car spent time in Italy before arriving in the UK in 2015, where it was subsequently restored and sympathetically upgraded to rally specification. Work included the fitment of bucket seats, Securon harnesses, a fire extinguisher, and various other competition items.
The vendor acquired this car in 2023 and has continued its upkeep, including replacing the brake callipers, while enjoying it sparingly. Following an older restoration, the bodywork remains eminently presentable, with scope for further cosmetic improvement should the new owner wish to elevate this car to the next level.
Specialist Alan Collins has looked after the Alpine in recent years, with the most recent service completed in March 2026.
The vendor sums it up best: "Lovely to drive. A lot of fun." What more could one ask for?

Chris Kishtoo
“A properly sorted A110 in eye-catching Jaune, restored to rally specification and maintained by specialists.”

One of only approximately 19 Evanta DB4 Zagatos built
Built to order for the current keeper, original Evanta invoice on file
Fitted with an LS3 V8 and five-speed manual gearbox
Just 9,000 miles from new; MOT valid to April 2027 with no advisories
Private registration ‘DB04 HJO’ included in the sale See full listing
The original DB4 Zagato is one of those cars that exists mostly in dreams. Just 19 were built between 1960 and 1963, each bodied by the legendary Milanese coachbuilder Zagato to a brief from Aston Martin's Ted Cutting, intended specifically for racing. They won at the Nürburgring. They raced at Le Mans. Today, when one surfaces for sale, it makes headlines and seven-figure sums.
When the team at Evanta set out to mark the 50th anniversary of those original cars, the challenge was considerable. Get the Zagato's signature double-bubble roofline wrong, or miss the subtle tension in those flanks, and the whole thing falls apart. Built on DB7 donor architecture with lightweight bodywork blending fibreglass, Kevlar and carbon fibre, the Evanta earned the respect of Aston Martin enthusiasts.
This example is finished in Pearl Black metallic, a dramatic choice that suits the car's swooping coachwork down to a T. This is paired with a black quilted leather interior with bucket seats and classic-style dials. Where most Evantas were fitted with a V12, this car is powered by an LS3 V8 and a five-speed manual gearbox. It was built to order for the current keeper, and the original Evanta invoice is on file.
Nine years and 9,000 miles later, this car remains in fine condition throughout, with an advisory-free MOT valid to April 2027.

Chapron/University Motors Ltd.
D6-70 model with Delahaye Type 134 lightweight ladder frame chassis
One of just 100 built, of which 50 were cabriolets built by a variety of coachbuilders Cabriolet body designed by Henri Chapron and assembled by University Motors Ltd In current ownership since 2005. Same family ownership since 1961 Comprehensively restored
See full listing
Born of the unlikely but inspired marriage of Delahaye's lightweight Type 134 ladder frame chassis with Delage's 2.7litre engine and an innovative clutchless Cotal electromagnetic gearbox, the D6-70 proved itself to be a highly capable motor car. It won the Donington Park Tourist Trophy in 1938 and claimed podium finishes at Le Mans in both 1939 and 1949. Just 100 were built, making it the rarest and, many argue, the finest chapter of the lengthy D6 lineage.
Of those 100 cars, half were bodied as cabriolets by various coachbuilders. Ours was built to a design by Henri Chapron, Delage's go-to coachbuilder, and assembled in Britain by University Motors Ltd. This is body number 903, delivered to the coachworks on 14th September 1937 and first registered on 7th October of that year. The 2,729 cc overhead-valve sixcylinder engine that powers this car shares its basic architecture with the celebrated 3.0-litre Le Mans units.
The Delage has had just three UK keepers in its life, passing to the current collectors family in 1961. Over 65 years ago! The DVLA records a colour change to the present cream and black scheme in October 2018, following a comprehensive restoration of the bodywork, interior, and mechanical components.
The result is a car that is simply difficult to look away from, and the vendor reports that it runs and drives very well indeed.

Ferrari Classiche Certified in 2025
One of only 712 fibreglass-bodied Vetroresina examples produced Major service, including timing belts, completed in early 2025 at Kroymans Ferrari Matching numbers, original colour, and full original tool kit present Extensively restored to original specification
See full listing
Before the 308, Ferrari’s mid-engine cars were sold under the Dino sub-brand because Enzo Ferrari believed that “true Ferraris” had front-mounted V12s. The 308 is the car that changed his mind for good. It kicked off a legendary multi-decade bloodline of entry-level supercars, allowing the company to move away from hand-built, boutique volumes and establish scalable production lines.
The Vetroresina, produced from 1975 to mid-1977, was the first and finest expression of the 308 formula. The GRP bodywork shed approximately 150 kg compared to the later steel-bodied cars, making it sharper, lighter, and more alive on the road. Only 712 were made before Ferrari moved to steel construction.
This February 1977 example was originally delivered in France, before joining a private Spanish collection where it was stored in dry, heated conditions and exhibited at shows. Dutch registration followed in 2018, and Ferrari Classiche certification was issued in 2025, confirming the matching numbers drivetrain and original specification throughout.
The finish is 'Argento Auteuil', a rare metallic silver that flatters Fioravanti's lines considerably, paired with 'Pelle Nera' black leather. The original five-spoke wheels, California exterior mirror, and complete toolkit are all present.
The most recent timing belt replacement was completed at the authorised Ferrari dealer Kroymans in January 2025. The vendor reports the car starts, changes gear, and drives beautifully.

Nearly 45 years in single-family ownership
See full listing
For fans of historic competition cars with period race history, this is as good as it gets.
The Mk I Austin-Healey Sprite is a delight in standard form and possessed of a character entirely disproportionate to its modest displacement. But this car is anything but standard. It was purchased by Dutch racing driver ‘Tony’ Hildebrand ahead of the 1960 season and sent directly to Speedwell Performance Conversions in London, where John Sprinzel, the man who, alongside Donald Healey, would create the limited-production Sebring Sprite, transformed it into a full competition car. Downton Engineering 998cc engine, Speedwell close-ratio gearbox, and that bonnet: an aluminium Monza design by famed aerodynamicist Frank Costin - one of only five ever made.
Consignor's opinion Alex Fischer


Before the 1961 season, the car returned to Sprinzel for a Sebring-specification upgrade. It raced at Zandvoort from its debut on 22 May 1960, participated in KNAC hillclimbs and made continued appearances at Zandvoort until 1965. The car also served as a demonstration and promotional vehicle for Speedwell and Downton parts.
Restored between 2004 and 2008 to its 1960 debut specification, the Healey has since appeared at Zandvoort, Goodwood, Falkenberg, and Le Mans. It is accompanied by an archive that includes a book on the car's history, period photographs, documentation, prizes, and photographs with Sprinzel, taken in 2013.

Matching-numbers 5.4-litre Chevrolet 327ci V8 with four-speed manual gearbox Recently checked over and serviced; invoices totalling approximately SEK 72,000 In current family ownership since 1985
Factory handbooks present
See full listing
The Gordon Keeble is one of the great might-have-beens of British motoring. Styled by a 21-year-old Giugiaro at Bertone, a design he would later name as his personal favourite, and powered by Chevrolet's 327 ci V8, it was the fastest four-seater production car in the world.
Sadly, just 99 were completed before the company folded, a victim of its own underpricing and the brutal economics of low-volume production.
This 1965 right-hand-drive example, chassis C37/FI004/RD, is car number 37 and is believed to be the only GK1 delivered new to Sweden. For many years, it formed part of a private collection before passing to the current keeper's father in 1985 (acquired as part of a larger collection). It subsequently formed part of his collection and has been showcased at a museum in Sweden during the last 30 years.
The Champagne Gold metallic finish shows the patina of extended storage and could be refreshed according to the next owner's preference. The red vinyl cabin, with its quilted door trim and matching carpets, retains a period-correct character, complemented by a wood-rimmed Clubman steering wheel.
The original 5.4-litre Chevrolet V8 remains in place, matched to the original four-speed manual gearbox. The car has recently been checked over and serviced, with invoices of approximately SEK 72,000 available.

Greg Copeland
"Car 37 of 99, believed to be the only GK1 supplied new to Sweden, this matching numbers example comes from long-term private ownership."

One of 55 Series V DB4 saloons produced, originally a dealer demonstrator Comprehensive restoration by RS Williams in the mid-2000s Engine rebuild to 4.7 litres and confirmed 325 bhp output Gearbox, overdrive, and clutch all rebuilt by RS Williams Power steering, aluminium radiator, and upgraded headlights fitted
See full listing
The DB4 Series V is the car that became the DB5. The final series brought 15-inch wheels for more headroom and a longer body for proper rear seats, refinements that carried directly into the later car. Just 55 standard Series V saloons were completed in the ten months to June 1963, against 1,058 DB5s.
Chassis DB4/1034/R left the factory in February 1963 as a dealer demonstrator for J Blake and Son of Liverpool, in Fiesta Red with the overdrive gearbox, chrome wire wheels, and a Motorola radio. It carried registration ‘OKA 1’, associated with managing director Jack Reece, a Formula 3 racer and Monte Carlo rally competitor. After time in the United States, it returned to Britain in 1988.
RS Williams' mid-2000s restoration was comprehensive: the straight-six enlarged to 4.7 litres and rebuilt to a dyno-verified 325 bhp, gearbox and overdrive rebuilt, new clutch, power steering, aluminium radiator, upgraded headlights, Dynamat insulation, and modified boot hinges. The Fiesta Red was replaced with California Sage over Caramel leather.
The car has covered approximately 7,000 miles since completion of the restoration and has been serviced annually. It is offered reluctantly, as the vendor is relocating to the United States. The vendor reports that it starts on the first turn of the key, requires little choke, and has never caused any mechanical issues

Recreation built over four years using parts sourced from more than 14 countries Genuine 1938 6C supercharged engine, rebuilt by Auto Restorations in New Zealand
Chassis frame constructed by Design Cast NZ to original factory specifications Four-speed dog-box gearbox by British Alfa specialist Jim Stokes Workshops Offered on a US Title, registered as a 1933 Alfa Romeo, EU taxes paid See full listing
There are few cars in motorsport history that carry the weight of the Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza. Victories at the Mille Miglia, Le Mans, and countless Grands Prix with the likes of Nuvolari, Caracciola, and Borzacchini at the wheel cemented its reputation.
This recreation is a credit to the skills of the historic vehicle sector. It began when the previous owner discovered a significant cache of period Alfa Romeo components in England and spent four years building a complete car around them, sourcing additional parts from more than 14 countries in the process.
The chassis was constructed by Design Cast in New Zealand to the original factory drawings: spring steel, hotriveted, assembled exactly as it would have been in the 1930s. At its heart sits a genuine 1938 Alfa 6C engine sourced from Eastern Europe and comprehensively rebuilt by Auto Restorations in New Zealand, gaining a supercharger, new camshaft drives, Jaguar valves, shell bearings, and four-bolt main bearing caps along the way. The result is a reported 185 bhp, which, in a car this light, is more than sufficient.
The attention to detail throughout is exceptional. Resplendent in Alfa Red with the Quadrifoglio Verde on the nose, safety-wired fastenings, period chassis plates, Jaeger instruments, and contrasting brown leather upholstery, this truly is as close to the real thing as they come.

Consignor's opinion
Guy Newton
“A meticulously constructed recreation of one of the most celebrated prewar racing cars ever built, powered by an original 1938 Alfa Romeo 6C supercharged engine.”

Highly desirable 'Cabriolet A' variant of the W187 generation
One of only 1,278 examples manufactured during the 1952 production year
Powered by the legendary 2.2-litre M180 straight-six engine producing 79 hp
Well presented throughout
See full listing

The 1951 Frankfurt Motor Show was a momentous occasion for Mercedes-Benz. For the first time since the end of the Second World War, the manufacturer introduced two brandnew six-cylinder models: the W186 and W187. The latter used a chassis derived from the four-cylinder 170 S but was elongated to house the new 2.2-litre M180 straight-six.
While the standard saloon was a success, it was the handbuilt Cabriolets that really made an impact, becoming a favourite for long-distance grand touring.
The 'Cabriolet A' remains the most sought-after body style of the era, distinguished from the 'B' variant by its sleeker twoseater configuration and more intimate cabin. It exemplifies an age where the quality of materials: polished wood, heavy chrome, and thick leather, took precedence over all else.
Records show this 1952 example was completed on 18th March 1952 and dispatched by train to Philipsons in Stockholm, where it was registered in time for the Swedish summer. The car has passed through just four additional registered keepers before it joined the last private collection in 2016.
This W187 presents as an honest and well-maintained example. Ideal for open-top touring as its makers intended, it offers a rare opportunity to own one of the most elegant and refined Mercedes-Benz convertibles of the early post-war era.

Consignor's opinion
Guy Newton
“This rare hand-built Cabriolet A is a masterclass in post-war MercedesBenz luxury.”

One of fewer than 9,000 DMC-12s built at the Dunmurry factory Accompanied by a selection of invoices and Finnish historic vehicle inspection report Ex-Florida car, registered in Finland since 2012; used regularly during the summer Worldwide shipping available to the buyer
See full listing
John DeLorean's vision was audacious to the point of recklessness, and the car that bore his name was, predictably, unsuccessful. DeLorean set himself the task of creating a revolutionary, "ethical sports car." His goal was to produce a futuristic, stylish, yet safe and fuel-efficient grand tourer that would remain durable for decades. The company lasted barely two years, and fewer than 9,000 were built.

Consignor's opinion


But none of it mattered. The brushed stainless-steel body, the gullwing doors, and the sheer nerve of the enterprise made the DMC-12 one of the most talked-about cars of its era the moment it arrived in 1981. Then, Back to the Future made it immortal.
The film did so much for the DeLorean’s profile that it’s increasingly hard to find one that hasn’t been given the Doc Brown treatment. This 1982 example is refreshingly original and unmodified - not a flux capacitor in sight.
It began life in the United States, spending its early years in Florida, before being registered in Finland in 2012. Since then, the DeLorean has been used regularly during the summer months and maintained to a good standard. The vendor reports it drives well and has never let them down.

Unique coachbuilt body by Bertone, designed by Giovanni Michelotti One of just 98 long-wheelbase B52 chassis built; matching numbers Exhibited at the 1951 Turin Motor Show on the Bertone stand Shown at a Concours d'Élégance in Chaudfontaine, Belgium, circa 1953
Displayed at the Museo dell'Automobile di Torino in 2020 and 2021 See full listing
There are rare cars. There are significant cars. This is both.
Lancia's Aurelia was already extraordinary before the coachbuilders got anywhere near it. The world's first production V6, mounted in a transaxle layout that gave nearperfect weight distribution, clothed in Pinin Farina's elegant body, it was a car that made most of the competition look immediately outdated. It then went racing, winning the Targa Florio and performing brilliantly at the Mille Miglia and Monte Carlo Rally.
Lancia knew the platform deserved more, so they produced 98 long-wheelbase B52 chassis (extended to 291cm) specifically for Italy's great coachbuilding houses to interpret as they saw fit. Chassis B52-1074 was dispatched to Bertone, where a young Giovanni Michelotti gave it this body. This very car was unveiled on the Bertone stand at the 1951 Turin Motor Show. It remains the only one of its kind.
What followed is equally remarkable. The car was photographed at a Concours d'Élégance in Chaudfontaine, Belgium, circa 1953, then led a quiet life that reportedly kept the mileage to approximately 3,700 km and left the tan interior, original CEAT whitewall tyres, and amber dashboard switches entirely untouched. It was later chosen for two separate exhibitions at the Museo dell'Automobile di Torino in 2020 and 2021. The vendor reports that it drives superbly.

"A wholly unique, matching numbers Aurelia, the only one of its kind ever built, in extraordinary original condition and with a remarkable history."

Built to FIA Class GTS12 specification in 2008 by Andrew Tart Raced at Goodwood Revival, Le Mans Classic, Spa-Francorchamps and Portimao
Refreshed 2021/22 by Keith Martin Motorsport and Sigma Engineering Sound basis for 2026 eligibility compliance at Goodwood, MRL and Peter Auto FIA papers, Heritage Certificate, build and restoration invoices, and spares package 290 bhp confirmed on rolling road
See full listing
Malcolm Sayer designed the E-Type to win at Le Mans, and while Jaguar ultimately chose not to pursue that ambition with the factory backing it deserved, the twelve Lightweights demonstrated conclusively what the platform could do in competition trim.
Since then, the work of creating and campaigning E-Type race cars has fallen to the few who understand what the early flatfloor cars represent: the purest expression of Sayer's vision.
This car was commissioned by a previous owner from Andrew Tart, founder of CMC Bridgnorth, one of the most respected Jaguar specialists in the world.
The build was completed to FIA Class GTS12 specification in 2008. In 2021 and 2022, Keith Martin Motorsport and Sigma Engineering carried out a comprehensive refresh, with a rolling road test confirming 290bhp. A new high-specification Helix clutch was fitted in August 2025.
At the Goodwood Revival Fordwater Trophy, the car finished 8th of 30 entries against many so-called semi-lightweight cars. Tiff Needell co-drove and reportedly declared at the finish: "This car handles perfectly." At Le Mans Classic 2016, it recorded 152.5 mph on the Mulsanne Straight and finished 18th from 63 entries.
The car is stated to be free of any hidden upgrades, placing it in a strong position to comply with the proposed 2026 eligibility regulations for Goodwood, MRL, and Peter Auto events.

Two registered keepers from new; current keeper since November 1987 Nearly £90,000 mechanical overhaul by Vantage Engineering, 2021–2024
Repainted in Solent Silver in the early 2000s; retrimmed in dark blue leather Original bill of sale, large history file, and distinctive 'DAD' registration included
See full listing
Besides being Commander Bond’s chosen steed, the Aston Martin DB5 was a superlative grand tourer in its own right. Powered by the 4.0-litre, 282bhp version of Tadek Marek's straight-six, mated to a five-speed ZF gearbox, the DB5 was perfectly placed to tackle new autoroutes. Just 821 standard coupés were built over two years.
This 1965 example, VIN DB5/1724/R, boasts excellent provenance. An original typed bill of sale confirms delivery of Caribbean Pearl with dark blue leather and the Selectaride electrically adjustable suspension option (now removed). Fog lamps, heated rear screen, and seatbelts were also fitted from new.
There have been just two registered keepers in its sixty-year life, the second of whom has held it since November 1987.
In the early 2000s, the car was repainted in Solent Silver, and the cabin retrimmed in dark blue leather close to the original specification. The Borrani wire wheels, at £5,000 apiece, are a quality addition.
Between 2021 and 2024, the Aston was entrusted to specialist Vantage Engineering, where a four-year, nearly £90,000 programme of mechanical work was carried out. The DB5 has covered minimal mileage since completion of that work and is reported to drive very well.

One of approximately 152 EMW 327-3 Sport Coupés produced Serial number 88035; the 33rd example built Award-winning restoration completed in 2005 Approximately 3,000 km covered since restoration Detailed restoration photographs are included
See full listing
No, that’s not a typo. The story of EMW is one of the stranger footnotes in automotive history, and all the more compelling for it. When Soviet forces occupied BMW's Eisenach factory after the war, they refused to return it to the Bavarian marque, and so production simply continued, with the cars renamed Eisenacher Motorenwerk and badged accordingly in red rather than BMW’s usual blue.
The 327-3 that emerged between 1952 and 1955 was, mechanically speaking, virtually indistinguishable from the BMW 327 it descended from. The same M78 straight-six, the same elegant pre-war coachwork, the same sweeping arches and tapered tail. It was BMW, built behind the Iron Curtain, under a different name. Only around 152 were made. This car, serial number 88035, was the 33rd off the production line.
The EMW has been comprehensively restored by its current owner, with the work completed in 2005. The quality of the restoration was validated in the most public way possible: it went on to win a nationwide competition, scoring an impressive 4.81 out of 5.00. In the two decades since, it has covered circa 3,000 km and been maintained consistently.
It is highly unusual to find the opportunity to acquire one of these fascinating cars. This well-restored survivor is fit to grace any collection.

Established in 1991, Ford's Special Vehicle Team (SVT) has been behind some truly remarkable vehicles. This fifthgeneration Shelby GT500 is a prime example of their work.
Supercharged and intercooled 5.4-litre V8, Brembo brakes, Tremec six-speed manual gearbox, and tuned suspension combined to make it one of the most formidable American performance cars of its era.
Originally ordered in August 2008 by Samsung's CEO, it was delivered new in 2009 and immediately exported to South Korea, where it was kept as a showpiece in a prestigious private collection. It made the journey to the Netherlands in February 2019, where it has continued to be treated as a collector's item with minimal use. The odometer reflects this: 1,071 kilometres from new, making this among the lowest-mileage GT500s likely to come to market.
The exterior is finished in UA Ebony black with racing stripes and GT500 side graphics, over 18-inch bright machined SVT wheels. Inside, the specification is generous: Recaro seats, a leather-wrapped dashboard, Cobra-logo leather seat trim, a 125colour MyColor ambient lighting system, HID xenon headlamps, and a touchscreen DVD navigation system. The factory options list alone adds over $4,000 to the base price.
Mechanically, the 5.4-litre supercharged V8 has been further enhanced with a Shelby GT500 Super Snake-style polished supercharger and a cold air intake, lifting estimated output to approximately 620 horsepower.

Spyker is a prime example of when car manufacturing is elevated to an art form. The Dutch outfit, founded at the turn of the millennium, built cars the way a Swiss watchmaker builds timepieces: obsessively, unhurriedly, and in very small numbers.
Our car is the C8 Laviolette, the coupé version, boasting a fastback roofline drawn from the Shelby Cobra Daytona. Spyker took the Laviolette to Le Mans in 2009 and 2010 and competed in the European Le Mans Series. Just 55 were ever built.
Beneath the rear cowl, Audi's 4.2-litre V8, an engine of considerable merit in standard form, was persuaded to 395 bhp and mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. The result was an 186-mph top speed and a sub-4.5-second 0-60-mph time.
The factory options list reads like someone was given a blank cheque, headlined by €50,000 Chronoswiss instrumentation and extending to AP Racing brakes, adjustable Koni inboard suspension, and a sport/whisper exhaust. The car was featured in Magneto magazine in 2022, and a copy of the publication is included in the sale.
In its seventeen years of existence, our Spyker has covered just 7,481 miles in all and a mere 800 miles since its last service.

Rare factory-built Vantage specification with an automatic gearbox One of just 268 Mk1s factory-equipped with the high-performance Vantage engine Documented history with only four keepers from new, including the Jaeger Company Presented in its original colour combination of Oxford Blue over black leather See full listing
The emergence of Europe’s high-speed autoroutes during the 1960s created an insatiable appetite for long-distance grand tourers; cars that could cover distance with ease and at pace, without tiring their occupants.
Successive models from Aston Martin’s celebrated DB lineage accomplished this task with aplomb, of which the DB6 was arguably the most accomplished grand tourer of them all. Improvements over its predecessors came in the form of increased cabin space through partial abandonment of the Superleggera formula and improved high-speed stability through the adoption of a Kamm tail.
While the standard car was impressive, the Vantage upgrade was a costly and exclusive option that raised output from 282 bhp to a formidable 325 bhp, achieved through a higher compression ratio and the fitment of a trio of Weber carburettors.
This car, chassis DB6/3468R, is understood to be one of only three factory-built Mk1 Vantages fitted with an automatic transmission. Retaining its matching-numbers engine (400/3489/VC), the Aston also boasts an extensive list of desirable factory options, including power steering, chrome wire wheels with three-eared spinners, a heated rear screen, and an electric aerial.
Acquired by the current keeper in 2023 following a long period of static display in a private collection, the car has recently been recommissioned and serviced, and is complete with a voluntary MOT valid until March 2027, showing no advisories.

The DB9 Volante was the first convertible built on Aston Martin’s bonded aluminium VH platform. Clothed in a body penned by Henrik Fisker, it arrived in 2004 as proof that the revived marque could produce a world-class grand tourer on its own terms.
Consignor's opinion


This example was delivered new in Italy in November 2006. It subsequently passed into Dutch ownership and has been used sparingly, accumulating just 48,565 kilometres. The factory options list is extensive: full Kestrel Tan leather throughout, a premium Linn audio system, satellite navigation, full leather dashboard, two-tone leather steering wheel, 19-inch lightweight 15-spoke alloy wheels, memory electric heated seats, and a special-order exterior paint finish, totalling €22,950 above the list price.
Servicing has been carried out by official Aston Martin dealers throughout, including an inspection campaign organised directly by Aston Martin headquarters at Aston Martin Verona in 2015, and a comprehensive visit to Kroymans Aston Martin Hilversum in 2019, where the tonneau cover lock mechanism and motor cable guide were replaced and the TPMS recalibrated. The APK inspection in January 2026 was passed without defects.
For crossing continents at pace, there’s no better modern classic GT for the job. This example has everything going for it.

Full service history from new, primarily by Ferrari dealerships
Sold with a fresh APK technical inspection
You risk a great deal by reviving an old name, especially one so hallowed as the beloved 250 GT California Spyder. But Ferrari doesn’t do things by halves, fitting its new California with a front mid-engined V8, folding aluminium hardtop, and dual-clutch transmission.
Ferrari was making an explicit argument that a grand touring convertible could belong in Maranello's lineup without compromise. The 4.3-litre F136 V8 and seven-speed Getrag dual-clutch gearbox vindicated that argument decisively.
First registered in Belgium in May 2009, this California was specified with exceptional generosity: over €33,000 in factory options covering Nero Daytona metallic paint, Daytona seats, full electric seats with memory, Cavallino-embossed headrests, a carbon fibre steering wheel with LEDs, 20-inch sport alloy wheels, red brake callipers, and Scuderia shields. It passed through Dutch registration and has been maintained consistently by Ferrari dealerships and marque specialists throughout its life.
The most significant work came in August 2023, when Munsterhuis Sportscars Ferrari underwent a comprehensive overhaul costing €17,643, covering misfire diagnosis, fuel system components, intake manifold gaskets, spark plugs, a roof system overhaul (including hydraulics and latching mechanisms), and headlight replacement and recalibration. The car has covered minimal mileage since.

Believed to be the only example built by Allemano
Extensively restored and finished in Giallo Fly
Documented chain of ownership from new, sold by Abarth & C. Torino in 1960
Distinctive "Zagato style" covered front lights, reportedly unique to this car See full listing
Carlo Abarth understood something that many of his contemporaries did not: that a small car, made light enough, could embarrass almost anything on a twisting road. His collaborations with the Turinese coachbuilder Allemano produced some of the most visually arresting small-capacity sports cars of the era: purposeful, dramatic, and achingly Italian in character. The 850 Scorpione is among the finest of those creations.
This car spent its early decades in southern Italy, passing through owners in Bari, Bitonto, Naples, and Vico Equense before arriving in Piedmont in 2002, where the then-owner began a comprehensive restoration. The work was interrupted by his death during the pandemic, and the project passed through his son before the vendor acquired it in July 2023 and brought it to completion.
The body was stripped to bare metal, sandblasted, and refinished in Giallo Fly, one of four period-correct colour options. The covered front lights, in a style reminiscent of Zagato, are believed to be unique to this example.
At 850cc, the Abarth's displacement invites scepticism. It shouldn't. In a car weighing little more than 600 kilograms, that engine is put to very good use. For fans of featherweight sports cars, this is as good as it gets.
