101 1985 Mercedes 380SL
● Timeless convertible Mercedes, with recent recommissioning
● Desirable 215bhp V8 variant
● Offered at No Reserve
The Mercedes-Benz SL variants from the R107 series have long held a place of esteem among classic car enthusiasts, celebrated for their meticulous engineering and understated elegance Produced from 1971 to 1989, this series represents the secondlongest production run in Mercedes-Benz history, surpassed only by the G-Class The R107 SL is a timeless two-seat convertible, featuring a standard soft top, an optional hardtop, and the possibility of rear bench seating, offering both versatility and style. These SLs, particularly the 107 chassis, truly established themselves as icons of quality and success across both Europe and the Americas. Unlike the previous SL range, these cars were rugged and durable, capable of accumulating high mileage while remaining reliable with just the most basic of care The first of this generation was the 350SL, a model that is now becoming a cherished favorite among Mercedes-Benz collectors for its pure design, free of emissions equipment, small chrome bumpers, and manual windows Being lighter and unrestricted by emissions regulations, these early models were lively performers as well as quiet and comfortable touring cars Following the discontinuation of the SLC in September 1981, the 107 series continued with models like the 280, 380, and 500 SL, with V8 engines that were re-tuned for greater efficiency.
This particular 1985 UK right-hand drive example is finished in the eye-catching combination of Signal Red with a Black leather interior, complemented by classic check cloth trim The car comes with its original hardtop and the distinctive “Mexican Hat” wheels, all fitted with good tyres Having been dry stored and covering just 300 miles since 2018, this car remains in splendid condition It’s clear that it has been cherished by its six previous owners, including one long-term custodian since 2012.
This 380SL is powered by the robust M116 V8 engine, delivering a capable 215bhp, allowing for effortless

cruising and a top speed of 134mph Recently recommissioned in 2024, it has received a new fuel pump, relay, and a thorough flush and clean of the fuel tank by respected Classic specialist Autoclassico The car has also been serviced with a new oil filter, battery, and exhaust, ensuring that it drives excellently, with both the engine and gearbox in healthy condition Though the service books and history were unfortunately lost, the car’s overall condition and performance speak volumes about the care it has received over the years With an MOT valid until June 2026 and historic vehicle status on the horizon, this very attractive 380 SL is poised to provide its next owner with many more years of driving pleasure. Ready to enjoy, supplied with UK V5c and valid MOT, and offeed with No Reserve

102 2002 Opel Speedster
● One owner from new
● Complete with original books, service records and bill of sale
● Supplied with original factory hardtop
The Opel Speedster, also known as the Vauxhall VX220 in the UK, was developed in collaboration with Lotus, based on the Lotus Elise platform but with a longer wheelbase and lower door sills Designed to offer a lightweight, nimble, and engaging driving experience, the Speedster was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1999, to go into full production the following year
Due to changes in European crash safety regulations for the 2000 model year, Lotus needed to replace the original Elise The new model was sold by Vauxhall as the VX220 in the United Kingdom, sharing much in common with the Lotus Elise, although Opel claimed few parts were interchangeable A deal was made between Lotus and General Motors to generate sufficient funds to develop a new Elise, with Lotus agreeing to develop and produce the Opel Speedster and Vauxhall VX220 variants Lotus expanded its Hethel factory with 3,500 slots allocated to the Speedster A futuristic design, the Speedster employed a lightweight 72 kilo aluminium frame clothed in fibreglass bodywork
Weighing in at a mere 875 kilos, and with its 2 2 litre,145 hp engine, the Speedster was considerably more powerful than the Series 2 Elise at launch. Production ended in July 2005, and with no direct successor A rare model, the Speedster is now seen as a collectible modern classic
This head-turning example has been in the current ownership since new, covering a mere 47,000 miles in that time Garage-kept, the Speedster was last serviced at 46,151 miles (in 2018) At around the same time all new shock absorbers were fitted and the coolant header tank was replaced Since then the Opel has been largely stored and barely used, with the most recent MoT certificate expiring in May 2025 We understand that the fibreglass panel work is in good order, the paintwork presents well, the interior well preserved, and the car is in good mechanical order with no known faults
The owner’s pride and joy, sadly the Speedster is only offered for sale due to ill health The Speedster is

offered complete with a file of invoices, original purchase invoice from 2002, MoT test certificates, service and hand books in original wallet and the V5C registration certificate A genuine example and surely one to tuck away for the future

2002 Mercedes-Benz SL500 (R230)
The fifth generation Mercedes-Benz SL, the R230, was manufactured between 2001 and 2008 With all the fun of the open air allied to what is effectively a proper hard-top coupé for those times when the weather was a little unpredictable, the car featured a fully retractable hardtop that was marketed as the Vario Roof- a first for the SL class Stuffed full of high-tech safety features, its most significant was perhaps Active Body Control, or ABC, which used hydraulic accumulators to regulate and vary the height and stiffness of the suspension This system gives – again – the best of all worlds; a pillowy soft ride when you want to gently cruise around, and a hard-edged sporting bias to the handling when you want to drive a little harder
Powered by the smooth and muscular 5 0-litre V8 (M113) engine, paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission, the SL500 delivers a seamless blend of long-distance refinement and classic V8 character. With circa 300bhp and ample torque, it offers effortless acceleration and a composed, sophisticated drive
This example, first registered in September 2002, and finished in a timeless and elegant colour scheme, is supplied with two keys and accompanied by a comprehensive MoT history, corroborating its mileage
The car has received consistent and careful maintenance over the years, from MB main dealers and Marque specialists, including attention to known modelspecific issues such as water ingress and ABC hydraulic performance
In the current ownership, the car has benefitted from a range of significant works including the replacement of the ABC hydraulic pump, new track rod ends and tie rods, a refurbished PSE (Pneumatic System Equipment) pump, and regular servicing The SL has also received a new set of Bridgestone Potenza tyres and wheel alignment
The paintwork presents smartly and the car remains in excellent mechanical health, with excellent road manners and ride quality The retractable hardtop operates as intended, providing the versatility of both open-top and coupe motoring in one beautifully engineered package
With a strong maintenance history, refined design, and increasingly appreciated V8 platform, this earlyproduction SL500 is a compelling modern classic -

2001 Mercedes-Benz SLK320
● Original excellent channel islands car
● Low mileage, with exceptional service history
Facing stiff competition from Mazda, and with Porsche, BMW and Audi planning their own small two-seater sportscar, the team at Mercedes-Benz set out to create a new compact roadster to slot below the contemporary R129 SL By late 1991, under Bruno Sacco, the first design sketches were drawn, with scale models being built in the first half of 1992 The revolutionary roof design consisted of a folding steel hardtop with both halves linked by a mechanism which locked securely when the roof was closed. At the touch of a button a hydraulic system controls the fully automatic folding process in which the boot lid is also integrated Massively successful in its first year, worldwide sales hit 55,000, over double the entire nineyear production of 190 SLs; between 1996 and 2004 over 311,000 SLKs were sold
This beautifully facelifted example was registered in June 2001 in the channel island of Jersey Supplied by local agent Jacksons, the SLK was specified with the more powerful 215bhp 3.2 litre engine, mated to a switchable five-speed automatic gearbox Maintenance was originally undertaken by Jacksons, later passing to a local Mercedes-Benz specialist
The maintenance record is impressive, with a total of 18 stamps in the original service book, supporting just 44,000 well maintained miles from new The most recent major service we understand was in the last 500 miles
Finished in Brilliant Silver with an Anthracite leather interior, the SLK is still fitted with an unused jack, toolkit, first aid kit and spare wheel With all UK duties paid to enable UK mainland registration (the nova letter is in the history file as is the V55/5 form), the vendor is more than happy to assist with UK registration on an age-related number plate.
Offered with an MoT to May 2026, and presented in truly excellent condition in all respects, this super Mercedes-Benz is a highly usable modern classic which can be enjoyed all year round

2003 BMW E46 325Ci M Sport Coupe
The BMW E46 3 Series Coupe, particularly in 325Ci M Sport specification, occupies a special place in the marque’s history - offering a near-perfect balance of design purity, mechanical refinement, and everyday usability Now firmly established as a modern classic, the E46 generation is widely regarded as one of BMW’s finest chassis achievements, with the 325Ci model combining a silky straight-six engine with crisp, rearwheel-drive dynamics and a level of build quality that has proven remarkably enduring.
This particular example, first registered in 2003, is a standout in both condition and originality Very handsome, finished in Titanium Silver Metallic over Black leather, the BMW has covered just 49,300 genuine miles from new, accompanied by a full service history Notably, the car has never failed an MOT, and the most recent test was passed with no advisories - a strong reflection of careful long-term ownership and diligent upkeep
The factory M Sport specification elevates this car above standard examples, featuring body-coloured aerodynamic enhancements, sports suspension, and the desirable 18” M double-spoke 135 alloy wheels, giving the car a purposeful, road-hugging stance Inside are sport seats trimmed in black leather, with driver memory function and electric adjustment, set against anthracite headlining and the distinctive Aluminium ‘Black Cube’ interior trim - hallmarks of the M Sport cabin package
Further equipment includes automatic air conditioning, Park Distance Control (PDC), auto-dimming interior mirror, electric folding door mirrors, cruise control, fog lights, and a multifunction M Sport steering wheel. The car is also equipped with BMW’s Business radio, and retains its original warning triangle and first aid kit, underscoring the completeness of this example
Under the bonnet lies BMW’s revered 2 5-litre M54 straight-six, producing 189bhp, paired here with a smooth automatic transmission offering both sport and manual modes The result is refined, responsive performance, equally suited to relaxed cruising or more spirited driving, enhanced by the E46’s superbly balanced chassis and rear-drive layout.

Examples of the E46 Coupe in this condition, with such low mileage and complete specification, are now very rare With values rising for clean, original E46’s and moreso the M Sport models, this is a compelling opportunity to acquire a cherished example of one of BMW’s best-loved modern classics ready to be enjoyed and admired £6500-£7500

2002 Audi RS6 Saloon
● One family owner from new
Audi’s high performance RS line originated with the B4based, Porsche-developed RS2 Avant of 1994 After RS2 production stopped in 1995, it was another four years until another RS-badged Audi broke cover, that car being the B5-based RS4 unveiled at the 1999 Frankfurt Motor Show Audi launched their third iteration of the RS line at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2002, the new RS6 being based on Audi’s midrange C5 platform This new RS was the first RSbadged Audi to be offered both as an estate and a saloon, and with a Tiptronic-style automated-manual gearbox. Engine-work was outsourced to Cosworth Engineering; with twin KKK K04 turbochargers, variable inlet valve timing, Bosch Motronic engine management and sequential fuel-injection the RS6 pumped out a formidable 444bhp and a mighty 413lb-ft of torque
Cosmetically, the RS6 differed to the S6 on account of its front bumper assembly, rear apron, deep side skirts and doors without moulded lower sections The interior look was completed with leather Recaro seats and door inserts, a roof lining trimmed in alcantara suede, and aluminium inserts throughout. The standard specification was impressive, with satellite navigation, air-conditioning, electric mirrors, electric windows and a high end Bose audio system With a 0-62mph time of 4 9 seconds and a top speed in de-restricted form in excess of 180mph, this was a serious performance car RS6 production lasted from July 2002 to September 2004, with over 8000 built.
One of 271 RS6 saloons imported to the UK, this original example was registered on 1st January 2003, finished in Avus Silver with a Black leather interior. Originally used by supplying dealer Robinsons Motor Company (now Norwich Audi) as their demonstrator (from January to March 2003), the RS6 was subsequently purchased by our vendor’s mother in law for the sum of £58,000 Driven regularly until 2014, the Audi was subsequently garage-stored until 2021, at which point, and with 46,800 miles recorded, ownership passed to the current vendor
Our vendor, the owner of a classic engineering business, recommissioned the RS6 and pressed it into regular usage, servicing and maintaining the Audi as required. The only modifications to the car are
Registration Number: AO52 XAH
Chassis Number: 4B3N900828
Recorded Mileage: 85,000 miles
replacement of the complicated Dynamic Ride Control dampers with more straightforward Koni adjustable dampers, and fitting of a new dash-mounted radio antenna We understand the timing belt was replaced in 2021, new tyres, front discs and pads fitted in 2023, and the filters recently changed The vendor advises us that the alcantara headlining has sagged (a common issue with) but a straightforward job for a competent trimmer to rectify
A genuine one family owned car, in an attractive colour combination, this handsome bahnstormer offers excellent value in the current marketplace

● ULEZ compliant
The third generation of the C-Class, the new model was launched in 2007, with estate versions joining in 2008 and the coupé three years later in 2011 Styled by Karlheinz Bauer and Peter Pfeiffer, a number of versions in various trim and engine packages were available, the range-topping model (other than out-and-out AMGs) being the C350
The design of W204 was finalised in 2003, ahead of the model launch in January 2007 at the 2007 Geneva Auto Show The W204 line offered a range of four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines - at the top end of the petrol range is the C350, with a 3 5-litre V6 unit developing 300+ bhp and 273lb ft. The AMG variant, marketed as the C63 AMG, used the 6 2-litre V8 petrol engine All models except the C63 AMG and C350 were available in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive (4Matic)
This rare 2012 Facelift C350 Coupe AMG Sport, fitted with the powerful 306bhp V6 petrol engine, was purchased two years ago by our vendor, who has fastidiously maintained the vehicle with circa £4,000 invested in its future reliability. Looking through the comprehensive history file, we find Mercedes-Benz dealer records from new to 2023, and then further maintenance care of Mercedes-Benz specialist Kartechnic of Dorset Intended for long-term ownership, maintenance has included the fitting of the all-important genuine Mercedes-Benz engine wiring harness, HP fuel pump and a number of other items
This ULEZ-compliant C350 Sport Edition is fitted with the V6 Blue-Efficiency engine, mated to a 7G-Tronic+ gearbox Finished in Metallic Palladium with Black Leather Interior, this very attractive example features a desirable specification including Parktronic (Front and Rear with Advanced Parking Guidance), Luxury Climate Control, Voice Control, Adaptive High Beam Assist, Speedtronic Cruise Control, Bluetooth Telephone PreWiring, Tilt and Opening Panoramic Sunroof, Heated Front Seats, ice cold air-conditioning, Electric Front 8Way Seats with Memory Package, Load-Through

1982 Mercedes-Benz W123 TE “Sleeper”
● Upgraded 300bhp 3-LItre six-cylinder engine
● 6-speed manual gearbox
● Numerous other upgrades and improvements
The new W123 model was launched in January 1976, being larger than its predecessor with updated styling, yet showing some cues to the previous W115 model All models received a mild facelift in 1982, with rectangular headlights and power steering across the range The first factory-built estate car, the 280 TE, made its debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September 1977 Special features of the estate version included a strengthened rear chassis and tailgate, and hydraulic self-levelling rear suspension The ultimate classic load lugger, the TE is as revered today as when it was new
This impressive and unique 1982 280TE has been extensively restored and modified into a genuine Street Sleeper As a basis the original shell was rebuilt with new floors and sills, soundproofed and treated with two-pack stone chip paint underneath
The original 2 8 litre petrol engine was removed and replaced with a 3 litre Mercedes-Benz OM 606 TD unit

(with a low 70,000 miles recorded), mated to a 6-speed manual Mercedes-Benz gearbox, new flywheel and clutch A custom-made stainless exhaust is fitted, as is an intercooler system with custom aluminium radiator and twin electric fans to keep things cool Power and running is improved with a new 7 5 mm Dieselmeken pump and hybrid turbo, and all new ancillaries. All running gear was restored with new components such as springs, shock absorbers, and bushes The braking has been improved with larger W126 front discs, and new lines A replacement fuel tank has been fitted, as have new fuel lines The original speedometer is fitted still, with a rare factory rev counter, also a Speedhut GPS unit and Sony double DIN Bluetooth Apple Play stereo With a 500SL rear axle and high ratio differential, the TE is geared for a top speed of 140 mph, with 70mph at a comfortable 2,000 rpm
Finished in Nordic Blue metallic with a dark blue leather interior, to complete the look banded steel rims with Maxxis tyres sit on each corner, and the interior was treated to a new headlining.
Now both MoT and tax exempt, this street sleeper is like nothing else on the road Subtle and almost innocuous, this modest-looking estate car can give many more overtly sporty cars a run for their money If you like fast wagons, this nicely built example surely merits closer inspection

1989 BMW 320i Convertible
● Exceptionally original, low mileage example
● Garage-stored, previous owner for 17 years
The definitive 1980s mid-sized executive saloon car, BMW’s second generation (E30) 3-Series of 1982 is instantly recognisable as one of the design icons of the period The profile is instantly recognisable, whilst the front-engine/rear-wheel-drive chassis delivers the classic BMW driving experience The keys to the E30’s appeal after some 40 years are its crisp styling, flexibility, durability and sporting road manners This epitome of understated cool has neatly segued from being the yuppie’s conveyance of choice, to now a style icon of the 1980s Values are appreciating as discerning drivers appreciate the quality and the value the E30 offers in the collector’s car market
This exceptional original example was first registered in January 1989, a UK-delivered 320i Convertible model finished in Alpine White with a blue/grey sports cloth interior and automatic gearbox. The BMW is supplied with a comprehensive BMW service record care of
Registration Number: F770 OJO

dealers Scotthall BMW, High Wycombe BMW, A1 BMW, and Wings of Welwyn, with the most recent service in 2024 at 35,994 miles (including cambelt, brake fluid, and coolant)
The 320i presents extremely well with beautiful rustfree paintwork, an excellent wear-free interior in sports cloth, unmarked dashboard and super unfaded Navy blue convertible roof In previous ownership for 17 years, we understand the BMW starts and drives beautifully, with a smooth responsive engine and tight running gear
Complete with a valid MoT certificate, V5C and owner’s books/wallet, lovely in every way and highly original, this is in our opinion the perfect collector’s grade modern classic. Surely one of the finest examples of a 320i in existence, and certainly the best we have offered £24000-£26000
1989 BMW Z1 Roadster
The first project of BMW Technik, a cutting edge engineering department created to develop concept cars and new technologies, the Z1 was actually intended only to be a suspension test mule for the upcoming E36 The new multilink rear suspension improved its handling and grip, especially on twisty roads
But the public reaction was so great that it was pressed into production Launched at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Harm Lagaay-designed model shocked the automotive world with its unique styling and distinctive features. With “Z” standing for Zukunft or “future”
the Z1 was a car like no other Not only did it boast wild details such as doors that retracted into the sills (which can be left down when driving, creating an open-air experience like no other), the car also featured cuttingedge production techniques, including composite body panels that could be changed in a matter of minutes
The Z1 received the classic 2.5 litre M20 inline-six engine with a 5-speed manual gearbox, and, although its performance figures were modest by modern standards, with a 0-60 mph time of 8 seconds and a top speed at around 140 mph, this lightweight (1,250 kg) sports car felt nimble and quick The model became the

basis of the Z Series that later expanded to include the Z3, Z4, and Z8
Manufactured in April 1989, this early example was privately imported into the UK and registered with the DVLA in August of the same year The Z1 was specified
in Traum Schwartz (Dream Black) with a nicely complementing grey and camouflage-patterned Nubuck leather interior, and black convertible roof Factory equipment includes electrically operated windows and doors, basic heating and ventilation controls, the original (and rare) Z1-branded radio/cassette player, and correct 16” inch alloy wheels. The car’s original spare wheel, toolkit, warning triangle, locking wheel nuts, and spare keys are also present. Looking into the accompanying history folder, we find a comprehensive file of documentation, such as previous MoT receipts, previous invoices, a reprinted handbook
and original Z1 press release The Z1 has been serviced in the last year with timing belt and an oil service, and we understand drives very well with no known faults Now showing a sensible 61,000 miles recorded, we understand the paintwork presents very nicely, whilst the interior shows light signs of use commensurate with its age and mileage. A stylish modern classic and a milestone in BMW’s history, this engaging early Z1 would make a distinctive addition to any considered collection

Central to its acclaim is the formidable 3 6-litre twin-turbocharged ‘Mezger’ flat-six - derived from Porsche’s Le Manswinning GT1 race car -producing 414bhp and propelling the car from 0–60mph in just 4 2 seconds With its robust construction, superb chassis balance, and everyday drivability, the 996 Turbo quickly earned a reputation as one of the most complete highperformance road cars of its generation

In 2021, a comprehensive mechanical refresh was undertaken, including suspension, cooling system, braking components, clutch, and associated drivetrain hardware The work was performed with a no-expensespared ethos and is supported by detailed invoices and service documentation This is likely one of the most thoroughly sorted examples currently available
Presented in stunning cosmetic condition, the paintwork remains crisp and glossy, the alloy wheels are excellent, and the cabin retains full originality, with very light wear consistent with its low mileage Note: the rear spoiler / electrically activated rear wing is currently inoperative and will require attention (a common and resolvable issue within the 996 Turbo community)
Mechanically, the car drives with the urgency and assurance expected of a Turbocharged 911, with its robust 3 6-litre Mezger engine -delivering tremendous performance in all conditions.
As EVO Magazine once declared:
“The 996 Turbo remains one of the greatest everyday supercars faster than nearly everything in its class, and more forgiving too With the Mezger engine, it’s a machine of real depth and ability ”
Supplied with strong service history, this example will appeal to collectors and drivers alike seeking a wellsorted, investment-grade 996 Turbo with the mechanical integrity and provenance to match.

1977 Porsche 930 3 0 Turbo
● Early 3-litre, matching numbers example
● Four owners from new
● Recently recommissioned and cosmetically refurbished
Now over 50 years old, the ‘Porsche 911 Turbo’, the flagship of the 911 range, changed the face of performance motoring forever after its introduction in 1975 While Porsche had been running a 2-litre turbo ‘six’ on the dyno as early as 1969, BMW claimed Europe’s first turbocharged production car with its 2002 Turbo of 1973. Then Dr. Ernst Fuhrmann joined Porsche’s board as CEO in early 1972, and everything changed. A Porsche engineer who loved fast cars and racing, the company had invested heavily to win at Le Mans and the U S Can-Am series; the time was right to put this new turbocharging technology to good marketing use Group 4 homologation rules, which required 400 road cars to be built before F I A approval for international racing was granted, led to the creation of ‘Project 930’ – the legendary Porsche 911 Turbo.
Production began in April 1975; the Turbo married a KKK turbocharger to the 3 0 litre RSR engine, which in road trim delivered 260bhp and a top speed of 155mph. As impressive as this was, there was more to the Turbo than just top speed It was also the best equipped 911 produced until that point With an amazingly flexible

Recorded Mileage: 86,000 miles
drivetrain (hence the four speed gearbox) this formidably fast supercar could hit 100mph from standstill in a mere 14 seconds
Borrowing the flared wheel arches and ‘tea tray’ rear spoiler from the Carrera model, the Turbo had aggressive looks to match the performance It also incorporated the most luxurious interior yet seen in a 911, with leather upholstery, air conditioning and electric windows. There were arguments over price and what sort of car it should be: some favoured a less expensive car, stripped out and more like a turbocharged RS; others, Fuhrmann included, saw a luxury flagship, quiet but very fast, and expensive The doctor and his colleagues won, and in doing so established the overall character of the 911 Turbo that holds true to this day.
An early 3-litre example finished in Schwartz with a matching black leather interior, we understand this low mileage example was first registered in 1977 to a businessman in Japan, who kept the 930 until 1999, at which point the car arrived in the United Kingdom. Having been stored for a number of years, in 2024 the 930 underwent a program of recommissioning with marque specialists Paul Horne at German Auto Solutions in Uppingham carried out this work, with the braking system being overhauled by Martin Reed in Barnstaple Since then the Porsche has received a full service by specialists Williams Crawford (at a cost of
c.£2,000), including a fresh MoT certificate (valid to February 2026), and a full set of new Pirelli Rosso tyres fitted to refurbished Fuchs wheels The coachwork has also been treated to professional paint correction and ceramic coating
With now 86,000 miles recorded, this matching numbers example is offered complete with documentation from the factory confirming specification, owner’s handbook, also a number of receipts and documents covering the various works completed. With values currently firming up for the 930 model, this headturning 70s supercar presents a wonderful opportunity for collectors

2014 Porsche 991 Turbo S Coupe
● Range-topping Turbo S model
● Extensive factory specification
The seventh generation of the legendary 911, the new 991 model was revealed at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show as a replacement for the outgoing 997 Only the third entirely new platform since the 911 was launched in 1963, the new model was slightly larger, with a longer wheelbase, yet weight was kept down using a clever blend of high-strength steel, aluminium and composites. A new transaxle allowed for the wheels to be moved in relation to the position of the engine, significantly improving weight distribution and cornering performance
Introduced in May 2013, the range-topping Turbo featured a twin-turbocharged 3 8-litre motor generating 513 bhp and 457 lb ft of torque The S version added a useful 39bhp (giving 552 bhp) and improved torque to propel the most powerful variant to 62 mph in 2 9 seconds according to Porsche, but actually achieved an eye-watering 2.6 seconds by many car magazine tests
The Turbo model featured active rear-wheel steering became a feature of the model; at over 80 km/h the

front and rear wheels steered in the same direction, while below 50 km/h they steered in opposite directions The seven-speed dual clutch transmission (PDK) was programmed for even faster gear changes, aerodynamics were improved with a multi-stage extendable front spoiler and a rear wing with adjustable height The engine featured a dynamic boost function, which holds boost pressure when the accelerator is only briefly released The engine then can respond virtually instantaneously when the accelerator is pressed again after a load change. The Sport Response Button was a new feature in the Sport Chrono Package, for which Porsche drew on motor racing for inspiration. The responsiveness of the engine and the transmission could be adjusted at the push of a button, allowing the
Turbo to accelerate optimally for up to 20 seconds, for example when overtaking. Meanwhile, a countdown in the instrument cluster told the driver how much time remained A technical tour de force, the 991 Turbo S is rapidly acquiring classic status, with good low mileage examples now being snapped up by canny collectors
An exceptionally well specified example, this 2014 Turbo S is beautifully finished in GT Silver metallic with a full black leather interior The extensive list of factory features include an Alcantara headlining, 20-inch centre lock alloy wheels, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), carbon interior trim/sill guards, carbon multifunction heated steering wheel, aluminium PDK gear selector, electric slide/tilt glass sunroof, Burmester surround sound system, PCM with navigation and telephone module, Bluetooth telephony/streaming/DAB/online services/TV/voice control, Sports Chrono Plus, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), LED headlights, Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS+), 4-point daytime running lights, Adaptive Sports Seats Plus, heated seats, Park Assist front and rear, rear view camera, electric folding door mirrors, Light Design Package, HomeLin, dual zone climate control, luggage net, Porsche VTS System and fitted mats
With just three owners front new, and having covered in that time only a shade over 19,000 miles, the 991 benefits from Porsche main dealer service history, and is offered complete with original bill of sale, book pack, both keys, file of service invoices, extended Porsche warranty Having originally retailed at over £150,000, the Turbo S is in our opinion very sensibly estimated in the current market All in all a fabulous example of one of the finest modern supercars you can buy. The 991 will be offered with a current MoT certificate, and with new front Pirelli P-Zero tyres prior to sale £70000-£80000
1961 Porsche 356B 1600 Roadster by Drauz
● European delivered from new, coachwork by Drauz of Heilbronn
● Comprehensively restored by marque specialist
From humble beginnings, Porsche’s 356 evolved into the car that established both Porsche and the 356 as industry icons A class win at Le Mans in 1951 showed its capabilities, but it was the legendary New York dealer Max Hoffman who influenced the factory and made it desirable among wealthy American buyers The new Speedster was introduced in 1954, being superseded in 1958 by the Convertible D by Drauz of Heilbronn, latterly to be developed into the 356B Roadster Launched at the 1959 Frankfurt Show, the new 356B featured raised headlamps, a re-designed fuel tank for better luggage space, and a larger front boot lid
Not to be confused with a regular cabriolet, the Drauzbuilt Roadsters from 1959 to ‘61 are a direct descendant of a Speedster, with better instrumentation, more comfortable seats, and a proper convertible roof A true sportscar of its time, whilst expressing the traditional Porsche values of quality, reliability and mechanical robustness, the Roadster features a sleeker

silhouette, a lower, more attractive windscreen with the chrome surround (like a Speedster, built to be removable for sporting use), one-piece wind up windows, Speedster-style dashboard, no rear seats and a lighter single layer hood It is estimated that only around 2,600 Roadster variants were built, with very few cars remaining A sophisticated European sports car capable of a 115 mph top speed, the model attracted celebrities such as Steve McQueen and Janis Joplin
Chassis 088885, a wonderful restored Drauz-bodied 356B Roadster, was assembled in late December of
1960 The 356 was delivered new in the following April to Roger M Gibson of the 32nd Tactical Fighter Squadron, based at the Soesterberg Air Base in the Netherlands The newly ordered Porsche was finished in Condor Yellow (6010B) with a black cloth interior, antenna, exterior mirror, ventilated chrome wheels and Continental tyres.
The Roadster stayed in the region for the next 40 or so years until later being purchased in 2008 by a well known collector Mr. P. van Schevensteen of Belgium, who entrusted leading US-based specialist Classic Porsche Restoration of California to undertake a ‘body off’ nut and bolt restoration
Completed in 2010, the newly restored Porsche was in Mr van Schevensteen’s possession for only a few months until being sold by the family following his sad passing The 356 was then acquired by a female enthusiast, remaining in Belgium until coming to the UK in recent years
Beautifully finished in its original colour scheme, with a contrasting grey cord/black leather interior and black mohair hood, and supplied with seat belts, tonneau cover, Porsche Sport steering wheel and a black mohair
soft-top, this truly outstanding example is offered complete with tool kit, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, copy of original Kardex, UK V5C and an invoice for a recent major service Showing a shade over 2,300 kilometres since restoration, this is surely one of the finest examples currently on offer.

1984 Porsche 911 Carrera 3 2 Cabriolet
As Classic & Sports Car magazine observed:
“The 3 2 Carrera is the definitive 1980s 911 the sweet spot between the rawness of the early cars and the polish of the later generations ”
The Carrera 3 2, built from 1984 to 1989, is considered by many marque experts to be the definitive air-cooled 911 of the 1980s It represents a near-perfect balance of Porsche’s early driving purity and later mechanical refinement Power comes from the revered 3 2-litre flatsix (engine code 930/20) - an extensively revised development of the earlier SC motor - delivering 228bhp at 5,900rpm and 284Nm of torque Notably, the Carrera 3 2 was the first 911 to feature Bosch Motronic electronic fuel injection, offering improved throttle response, cold starting, and long-term reliability.
Presented in Grand Prix White over a black leather and cloth interior, this 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera 3 2 Cabriolet is a superb example of the first year of production for this collectible, impact bumper-era 911 With its striking colour combination, factory spoilers, and Fuchs alloys, this example remains true to its era and specification
Being an early production model the 911 is fitted with the desirable 915 five-speed manual transmission, prized by purists for its mechanical connection and

lighter feel compared to the later G50 gearbox. Driving a Carrera 3 2 remains a deeply analogue experiencelightweight by modern standards, unassisted steering, and communicative controls provide unmatched driver involvement The cabriolet format adds further appeal,
with the soundtrack of the air-cooled flat-six behind the driver in its full glory
The factory 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels with black centres and anodised rims remain in excellent condition, paired with front rubber lip spoiler and the signature ‘whale tail’ rear spoiler - a combination that not only completes the period look but also contributes to improved high-speed stability Inside, the car features factory leather/cloth sports seats, black leather door cards, and original black carpets. The black canvas hood remains in good condition with only light creasing from stowage, and has reportedly never been used by the vendor, with the car exclusively used in dry conditions
A tasteful Momo Prototipo steering wheel is currently fitted, while the original factory wheel is included in the sale Additional accessories include an indoor fitted cover
In the current enthusiast ownership since 2020, the car has been used sparingly and cared for well The car was freshly serviced prior to sale, is supplied with a current MOT, along with a file of paperwork and historical service records Among these is a significant invoice from 2010 totalling £10,000, which is believed to relate to cosmetic refurbishment, likely including a partial respray While the invoice itself is not explicit, the paintwork presents in excellent, bright condition with
minimal imperfections - supporting the belief that highquality work was carried out prior to the current ownership The 911 will be sold wearing its original UK registration, B524 RLO - please note that the private plate shown in the photographs is not included
The Carrera 3 2 continues to be celebrated for its mechanical honesty and everyday usability - a Porsche that feels special at any speed and connects the driver to the road in a way few modern cars can match This highly original and tastefully presented Carrera 3.2 Cabriolet is ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian £40000-£45000
1961 Porsche 356B Reutter Coupe
● Fitted with rebuilt Super 90 engine
A lightweight and nimble handling rear-engined, rearwheel-drive, two-door sports car, Porsche’s 356 evolved from a streamlined little aluminum-bodied coupe powered by a VW-derived, 46bhp, 1,100-cc aircooled flat-four, to the mighty four-cam Carrera models of the early 1960s
The 356 B from 1960 through 1963 represents the midpoint in the car’s design The headlamps were raised, a larger bonnet handle added, and front vent windows appeared in the doors Mechanically, the gearbox and drum brakes were upgraded, and a new steering wheel and column refreshed the interior, along with

redesigned rear seats. This distinctive sportscar, in all its iterations, found over 76,000 homes between 1948 and 1966
First registered in January 1961, this stylish Porsche 356B Coupe by Reutter resided previously in the
Nevada area of the United States, arriving in the UK in 2016. During its time in the US the Porsche was maintained by specialist Reno Rennsport, who undertook a number of mechanical repairs to the car, notably a full engine rebuild Since arriving in the UK the 356 has joined two separate Porsche collections, having been further maintained as required. In current ownership since March 2022, in the region of 200 miles have been added to the odometer, the 355 being upgraded to electronic ignition, and the fuel pump recently replaced Finished in black with a contrasting grey interior, sitting in wider wheels, and fitted with a sporty four branch exhaust, this sporty 1960s Porsche is a usable classic that is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner

● LHD example, with full service history
Faster, better balanced and with a higher quality inside with improved appointment, fit and finish, the 997 was arguably the first 911 to really benefit from the success of the Cayenne and the cash injection therewith. The 997 was wider and longer with a more confident grasp of the road, rounding off ‘typical 911’ dynamic shortcomings The sixth-generation Turbo was launched in June 2006, the first petrol-engine production car in the world to feature turbochargers with Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG), enabling the entire exhaust gas flow to be used optimally for the turbocharging at all engine speeds Consequently at 480 bhp power was up by around 60 bhp compared to the 996 Turbo, despite an unaltered displacement of 3 6 litres In combination with the optional ‘Sport Chrono Package’, it was possible to activate a so-called overboost at full acceleration at the push of a button, catapulting the car from 80 to 120 km/h in 3.5 seconds – 0 3 seconds faster than in the manual 911 Turbo in ‘normal’ mode After the model update in 2010, the 3 6litre engine was replaced by a 3 8-litre engine producing now 500 bhp, and for the first time the seven-speed dual clutch transmission (PDK). The Turbo of the 997 generation combined the best of all the

and revised intake valve timing. As a result the Turbo S is phenomenally quick, with a claimed 3 3sec to 62mph - the PDK gearbox making all this power and performance easily accessible, just hit the throttle and hold on tight! Delivering possibly all the performance you’ll ever need, with driveability that flatters as opposed to intimidates, the 997 Turbo is the definitive modern classic high performance Porsche.
This wonderful 2011 Porsche 911 (997) Turbo S was specified when new in special order GT Silver, with a Carrera red leather interior, adaptive sports seats, Sport Chrono package, Bose surround system, carbon trim, PCCB Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes, and 19″ RS Spyder wheels
A LHD example, we understand the Porsche arrived in the UK in 2017 when the owner arrived from Dubai. Being offered complete with a comprehensive service record to support its 33,000 or so miles, we understand the last major service was carried out by Porsche Exeter in 2023
Ideal for a UK resident who travels occasionally into mainland Europe, this range-topping 997 delivers the perfect blend of earth-shattering performance with genuine day-to-day usability The 997 Turbo S is, we must say, a very enticing proposition

2002 Porsche 996 Carrera 4 ‘Techart’ Cabriolet
● Period TechArt upgrades
● Well kept and stored over the years
● IMS bearing replaced
● Recently serviced and new tyres fitted
By the early 1990s it was becoming abundantly clear that upcoming emissions regulations would make it impossible for Porsche to continue to deliver 911 levels of performance from its air-cooled engine. That realisation led to the release of the first ever watercooled 911, the Type 996 The 996 Carrera Coupe made its world debut at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show Designer Pinky Lai had spent many hours in a wind tunnel refining the car’s slippery shape, a Cd of just 0.30 was the result, down from 0 33 for the 993 A new feature was the electric rear spoiler which extends at 75mph, then retracts again at 37mph – Lai recalls how he had to fight for the inclusion of the electrically operated rear spoiler to better manage downforce at high speeds, despite the company arguing there wasn’t enough funding for this to be included. Thankfully Lai won through, and the active spoiler was included as standard in the final production specification. 911s have become progressively bigger over time, but the 996 is a beautifully manageable size for UK driving; plenty of power, poised handling, well weighted steering and a well damped ride all combine to provide

a truly rewarding driving experience Meanwhile, independent German tuner TechArt Automobildesign GmbH has been customising Porsches since 1987, working closely with Porsche to the point that many of
its cars are subject to TechArt modification straight after leaving the factory
One such example, this 2002 996 Carrera 4 Cabriolet benefited when new from a number of TechArt upgrades, such as a sports exhaust system, uprated springs, Performance Kit I (wheel spacers front and rear), 19” Techart wheels (recently refurbished), GT2 body styling, and a Turbo-style rear vented bumper
Largely stored as part of a collection in previous ownership, the 996 covered just 6,000 miles in the last 10 years In the accompanying history file we find the original service book, stamped up to 2015, with a more recent invoice with Porsche Centre Newcastle from 2021, and a recent invoice for a full service with a marque specialist Notably the IMS bearing has been replaced at 35,600 miles, a common Porsche concern for prospective buyers
We understand the car retains most of its original paintwork, with the exception of a minor paint repair to the lower section of the front bumper due to a minor
scuff. The interior shows just minimal wear commensurate with the age and mileage of the car
In May 2025 the 996 was treated to a major servie with a brake fluid change and four new tyres.
A handsome, highly capable and distinctive sportscar, the 996 is offered complete with a rare factory hardtop, advisory-free MOT valid to March 2026, a file of older invoices, V5C, and two sets of keys

● Desirable X50 Performance Pack and manual gearbox
A first for Porsche, the new watercooled 996 Turbo was launched in 2000, with four-wheel-drive and a 3 6-litre, twin turbocharged and intercooled flat-six producing 420bhp The turbo engine can trace its ancestry back to the original air-cooled units of the 1970s, being directly related not only to the 996 GT3 but also the GT1 homologation racers of the late 1990s Newly confident and flush after the success of the 986 Boxster and the 993 and 996 versions of the 911, Porsche sought to apply its latest thinking to the Turbo Although the new Turbo offered only a little more power than the 993-based car, the new model was cleaner, quieter and more advanced
The 996 Turbo took European Car of the Year in 2000, earning a place amongst Porsche’s greatest efforts Fitted with an X50 power kit delivering 444bhp, the 996 Turbo nudged towards 200mph for those brave enough to dare, delivering astonishing performance with impressive levels of comfort and civility From 2004 the X50 option was incorporated into the newly launched Turbo S model

Introduced in 2002, after some five years in development, the R230 Series SL Roadster was an engineering 'tour de force' Painstakingly modeled on a state-of-the-art supercomputer which enabled the designers to analyse every curve and line, it looked utterly sensational with an air of barely contained aggression that lent a huge road presence Packed full of sophisticated electronic driver aids which made it immensely safe but also fun to drive, it was an instant hit with press and public alike, and is widely considered to be the best-looking Mercedes for many years The power-operated aluminium folding roof was particularly admired and would disappear into the top of the boot at the press of a button in just 16 seconds, yet still leave enough room underneath for 206 litres of luggage space

Building on this, the stunning SL55 AMG version was introduced Seriously powerful and massively fast, the supercharged 5.4-litre engine gave 476 BHP and a tree stump-pulling 520lbs of torque Early owners included the notoriously difficult to please Jeremy Clarkson, who became quite vocal about his enthusiasm for the way his ‘55 drove, the way it looked and above all, the way it sounded Unsurprisingly the SL55 AMG received rave reviews from many of the contemporary motoring press. Boasting one of the greatest engines of the 2000s and allied to a five-speed automatic transmission, the SL55 sprinted from 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds on the way to a limited top speed of 155mph, although AMG ‘let slip’ that a de-limited yet otherwise standard example had been clocked at 205mph Visually enhanced via re-profiled bumpers, quad exhaust tips and 18-inch alloy wheels, demand soon outstripped supply The SL55 is a bonafide modern classic, one which now enjoys something of a cult following

2006 Mercedes-Benz SL500 (R230)
● Low mileage example
● Panaromic Glass roof, highly specified from factory
The Mercedes-Benz SL500 of the R230 generation represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of Stuttgart’s legendary grand touring roadster. Introduced in 2001 as the fifth generation of the SLClass, the R230 was an all-new model, blending traditional Mercedes luxury with cutting-edge design and engineering For the first time, the SL featured a fully retractable metal hardtop, transforming it seamlessly from a refined coupé into an elegant open roadster at the touch of a button a defining innovation that set the tone for the modern luxury convertible segment
This 2006 example is powered by the well-regarded 5 0-litre V8, producing a refined 302bhp Mated to a smooth automatic transmission, the engine offers brisk performance, with deep reserves of torque delivered in a composed, effortless manner The SL500 occupies a sweet spot in the R230 range - offering significantly more power and refinement than the SL350, while avoiding the added complexity and front-end weight of the later V12 models The chassis features Active Body Control (ABC) suspension, providing remarkable composure and comfort, even at speed, while retaining a relaxed and forgiving character ideal for longdistance touring
Presented in Obsidian Black Metallic with Grey leather upholstery, grey carpets, and contrasting dark wood cappings, this SL500 remains in beautiful condition throughout The exterior paintwork retains a deep, glossy finish, the alloy wheels are unmarked. Inside, the cabin is remarkably well preserved, reflecting the car’s careful use and garaged storage. Equipment includes panoramic glass roof, memory electric heated seats, climate control, multi-CD player, soft-close doors and boot, automatic folding mirrors, and a full suite of convenience and safety features that were at the forefront of early 2000s automotive technology.
With just circa 50,000 miles from new, this SL has clearly been cherished The car is garaged year-round, kept on battery optimisers, and protected under a genuine Mercedes indoor fitted cover (included) The SL is accompanied by its original owner’s book pack, maintenance invoices, and two keys

1971 Volkswagen Type 2 Bay Window Camper
● Subject of a previous restoration and “Devon”-style conversion
● Recently dry stored and for light recommissioning
● To be offered with a new MoT certificate
The VW Camper has always conjured up images of freedom and adventure, any image of the great outdoors wouldn’t be complete without a ‘Westy’ or ‘Splitty’ in the picture The Californian West Coast has moved the vision to iconic status as generations have ‘lived the dream’ with endless summers of beaches and surfing peace and love for the less inclined
Originally sourced from Sacramento, California, this 1971 bay window camper was subject to much restoration in previous ownership Previously acquired in 2010, the camper was stripped to bare metal, any minor repairs made (such as a replacement battery tray, driver’s side cab floor, bottom windscreen panel and a minor repair to the cargo area floor), and then refinished in Elm Green with a white roof The look was completed with a rear Safari window, new chrome and rubber trims, whilst the suspension was lowered and attractive SSP “Fook” wheels fitted, with original Porsche centre caps The single port 1600cc motor was rebuilt by specialist Revesby VW Garage. Attention then moved to the interior, which was fitted out by a carpenter in a “Devon” style; amongst other features two bench seats form the bed, a birch ply headlining is installed, and a useful Propex heater The restoration work is detailed in a July 2012 article in the Volksworld magazine Camper & Bus
In current ownership since around 2012, the VW has resided between the UK and the channel islands, more recently being dry stored and seldom used, hence now being offered for sale. A running and driving van which

1985 Mercedes-Benz 230TE (W123)
The Mercedes-Benz W123 platform, represents one of the marque’s most enduring engineering triumphs Introduced in 1978, the 230TE combined the bulletproof reliability of Mercedes’ four-cylinder M102 engine with the practicality of an elegant and capacious estate body. Built with a level of quality and mechanical integrity that earned the W123 a near-mythical reputation, these cars became trusted companions across continents and are now rightly considered modern classics
In current ownership since 2017, and much loved, the car has accompanied its keeper on a number of longdistance European journeys, proving itself both dependable and mechanically sound A significant mechanical upgrade took place in 2017, when, following a breakdown in Germany, the original engine was replaced by a later W124-specification unit featuring the more robust duplex timing chain. The installation was completed by respected marque specialist Mercman, and the car has continued to run well since.
Ongoing maintenance has included regular servicing, automatic transmission servicing and refinement, suspension work, and the installation of a new electric cooling fan with follow-up electrical repairs A new battery has recently been fitted, and the car remains on a full set of snow tyres, enhancing its versatility across seasons
First registered in August 1985 and therefore eligible for historic vehicle status from 1 August 2025 While mechanically robust and confidently roadworthy, the car now shows its age externally The paintwork and body panels display wear and blemishes consistent with four decades of use Patinated and showing its maturity, the TE provides a solid and dependable platform for sympathetic aesthetic restoration, offering the next owner a charming, usable classic with scope for improvement.
The analogue driving experience of the W123 remains one of its greatest assets - offering a direct, unfiltered connection to the road that is increasingly rare in modern vehicles Practical, characterful, and fundamentally well-engineered, this 230TE represents a wonderful opportunity to enjoy or restore a true Mercedes-Benz classic.
