1967 – JAGUAR  E S.1 OTS 4,2

Impressive JAGUAR E S.1 Roadster 4,2 with 8″ spoke wheels and technical optimisations from long-time collector’s ownership.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

Even Enzo Ferrari, who is acknowledged to have built many of the most fascinating sports cars in history, called the Jaguar E-Type “the most beautiful car in the world”. When the car appeared in 1961, it was simply a breathtaking sensation and today it is undisputedly one of the most popular classics of all! Few automobiles have achieved such a nimbus as the brand’s own successor to the previously – also on the international racetracks – extremely successful XK model…


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

This vehicle was first registered on 19 January 1967. More than 20 years ago, the former head of design at Audi bought the car and had it extensively restored “nut & bolt” in England by Jaguar specialists according to his ideas. The appearance, which is based on the E-Type competition models of the time, is essentially characterized by the super rare 8-inch deep spoked wheels by Borrani, which are fitted with wide 225/70 VR15 tyres. The bonnet and the rear wheel arches were adapted accordingly.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The roadster also received an adjustable suspension during the rebuild in the UK, which, in conjunction with the wheel/tyre combination, makes the car drive like it’s on rails! The engine starts immediately, runs fantastically and delivers – subjectively felt – significantly more than the 269 hp stated by the factory. The propulsion is absolutely superior and, thanks to the optimized cooling system, free of the usual thermal problems of the model. The 4-speed gearbox shifts like a hot knife through butter.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The paint finish in classic “carmen red” contrasts perfectly with the black fabric-quality soft top and the interior lined in black Connolly leather. The centre console, clad in aluminium panels and equipped with toggle switches, was spared a radio. The driver’s seats are noticeably padded so that even taller drivers can sit neatly in the car. The dashboard is visually dominated by the beautiful wooden steering wheel, which gives the Roadster the final British touch…


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

Twenty years after its restoration, the car is still convincing with its dreamlike fit of bonnets and doors as well as the beautiful flatness of the body. The paintwork shows minor signs of age in a few places, while the soft top and interior still have the appearance of being as good as new. Also due to the use of the car in the holiday domicile in the south, the E-Type has been spared from new corrosion until today. Due to its age, the collector is now handing this OTS over to other hands after two decades in his possession – with historic car registration, new MOT approval and a major service for delivery.

This Jaguar E is a real exception due to its captivating visual presence – coupled with technical improvements that further intensify the already high driving pleasure of an E-type: this car also drives as impressively as it looks! Only the few stubborn advocates of true-to-factory originality will not be happy with this roadster – all the more so for everyone else!

1969 – MASERATI  Ghibli 4,7

Rare MASERATI Ghibli 4,7 of the 1st series with Borrani spoke wheels, “matching numbers” engine and colour glazing.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

With a design of exemplary grace, Maserati launched the Ghibli (Tipo AM115), whose name was derived from a hot desert wind in the Sahara, in autumn 1966. This two-seater sports car, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro in the service of Carrozzeria Ghia, was so sensational and successful that even at the time it was described as “the most beautiful waste of space on four wheels”.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The flat body with exceptionally long bonnet underlined the presence of the powerful in-house V8 engine, which in this model unleashes more than 300 hp from 4.7 litres of displacement. The generously laid-out front seats in club-chair style provide sufficient space even for very tall drivers and separate the latter from the passenger on the right by means of a wide centre console. The dashboard with its comprehensive instrumentation is so attractively designed that one is reluctant to leave the seat behind. Especially as the interior is light and airy thanks to the ample glazing, and is surrounded everywhere by the finest leather, which is used in abundance.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The body of this Ghibli has good fits of all the single components and wears a paint finish that does full justice to the good overall condition. The most exciting sheet metal part is definitely the bonnet covering the in-house V8 with all its beading and ventilation grilles. The piano-black paintwork suits the gorgeous body perfectly and forms a perfect symbiosis with the tobacco-coloured interior – even if it does not match the genuine colour on delivery.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The car was intensively maintained by its German owner of many years, which is well documented by numerous receipts. The engine starts at the first turn of the ignition and convinces with sonorous acoustics without any noise and smooth running. The 310 hp eight-cylinder engine of this specimen also has a top speed of 275 km/h, measured in the 1969 test, which it delivers to the leaf-spring-mounted rear axle by means of the installed ZF 5-speed manual gearbox.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

However, the real metier of this magnificent Gran Turismo with Ghia bodywork is not the left lane of the motorway and a duel with its – often inferior – contemporary competitors, but superior motorised travelling. The fully functioning technology (including the folding headlights) makes you feel good even on long journeys. For delivery to its new owner, this dream car receives a major new service so that the owner can concentrate on the essentials: driving fast in a beautiful GT car.

The Maserati Ghibli are great GTs that are unjustly overshadowed by their competitors of the time, the Ferrari Daytona or ISO Grifo, as they look even more accomplished and impressive in person than in any photo, so that it is difficult to escape the fascination of this automobile – even if you have a non-italophile inclination. At the same time, at about a third of the current market price, you get decisive advantages in terms of space and comfort. Furthermore, this car documented by Maserati Classiche is an option for dedicated collectors or alternative investments.

1962 – MERCEDES-BENZ  190 SL

Beautifully restored MERCEDES-BENZ 190 SL with genuine engine ( matching number ) and rare hardtop in best color combination!


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

Following the enthusiastic reception of the model study at the “International Motor Sports Show” in New York in February 1954, the 190 SL was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March of the following year after being revised within the plant. The sports touring car with clear visual similarities to the “Gullwing” was technically based on the Ponton sedan, but with its independently developed “M121 BII” four-cylinder engine it offered more power than the four-door volume model and reached top speeds of 170 km/h.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

Due to its reliable high-volume technology, appealing performance and good handling, the concept of this touring sports car proved to be consistently successful during the economic miracle era. In the course of its eight-year production period, exactly 25,881 units were built as a roadster (with fabric top) and as a coupé with hardtop. According to the available production order from the Mercedes-Benz archives, this vehicle with the model code 121.040 was produced in February 1962 as a “Coupé with roadster top” – the most expensive version at the time.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The first delivery of this 190 SL was made to a company named Kerkenbusch in Munich. In addition to the coveted hardtop, the equipment on this vehicle includes the genuine leather interior, the expensive contemporary Becker Mexico radio as well as fog lamps and whitewall tires. The original engine was fitted with the less complicated Weber carburettors during the restoration twelve years ago (original Solex PHH44 can be fitted on request). Mercedes-Benz data card, on-board tools and a custom-fit dust cover from the factory museum come with the car.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

Since 2010, this example has been registered to the same owner and shares the garage at home with a 300 SL Coupé. For occasional participation in events, the car was serviced at a Mercedes-Benz agency during this time. The vehicle is delivered to the new owner with a new MOT and service. The vehicle delights with a convincing restoration quality, its upscale equipment and very good driving characteristics.

In 1962, only 778 units of the 190 SL were produced, of which around 80% went to the export markets, as in previous years. The “Pagoda” was already casting its first shadows as the future successor. This car – as the most expensive version at the time and with German first registration – is therefore a rarity, which was also given the most appealing colour combination during restoration: an automotive classic that has rightly been one of the most popular classic cars of all for decades and will not lose any of its appeal!

1975 – MORGAN  plus 8

Performance-upgraded MORGAN +8 Roadster with original hardtop in very authentic condition out of longterm collector ownership.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The Morgan Motor Company, which has been in existence for more than a century, launched the Plus 8 in 1968, a sports car that still fascinates today: hand-built in the classic production method with a ladder frame and a wooden frame decorated with sheet metal, the roadster combines its pre-war style with boisterous V8 drive technology. Ultimately, it was this car that saved Morgan from bankruptcy in hard times and is today not only one of the best-known, but also one of the most sought-after models in English automotive history.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The vehicle offered here was completed in autumn 1975, still with a narrow track width but already with the better, fully synchronised four-speed gearbox, which transmitted the power of the eight-cylinder to the rear axle with limited slip differential. The enormous driving performance of the drive is increased even more in this example: by installing a fan manifold and an adapted stainless steel exhaust system, this +8 really accelerates breathtakingly when required! Even by today’s standards, the potential of this classic car is on a sports car level.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

For almost twenty years, the Morgan has been owned by an enthusiast who has driven it, among other sports cars, frequently and also over longer tours. Regular servicing has been carried out by a specialist Morgan workshop near Hamburg, which is documented by an extensive folder with many maintenance records. For long journeys in changeable weather, this example can contribute a rare original hardtop, which offers significantly more weather protection than the roadster with the classic simple soft top and tarpaulin otherwise has…


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The car’s equipment also includes a chromed luggage rack, additional headlights and stone guards on the main headlights, a rally trip master with stopwatches and leather-covered bucket seats that are much better to sit in – so if you want, you are also equipped for “LeJog”. The car, painted in classic british racing green, is a welcome participant in all kinds of car-related events, as it conveys British roadster culture in its purest form and, despite its popularity, is rarely seen on the road due to its modest production numbers.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

This Morgan is in very attractive and authentic overall condition throughout – as a ’76 model it still has the dashboard with central instruments, the original steering wheel and controls show desired patina and the correct leather belt with brand logo is fitted over the side opening bonnet halves. The Plus 8 rides on the factory aluminium wheels, not retrofitted chrome spoke rims. The mechanics are to the point and work reliably, making the car suitable for long journeys – get in!

Like very few other vehicles in the world, the Morgan Plus 8 combines traditional automotive engineering and looks from the late 1930s with driving performance that is impressive even from today’s perspective. It is hard to resist the fascination of this car – please bear this in mind if you should be interested in a viewing with a test drive…

1973 – PORSCHE  911S 2,4 targa

Extensively maintained PORSCHE 911S 2,4 targa with original engine (matching number), color glazing and Porsche certificate of authenticity.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The Porsche 911 is probably the sports car of the century and leaves no one untouched. This is all the more true of the early production years and models, whose original shape and engine sound still enjoy great popularity worldwide. This rare top model 911S with 2.4-liter engine in targa version comes from the end of the production period of the so-called “F model”, when the successor with safety bumpers was already casting its long shadows ahead!


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

This vehicle was produced in the spring of 1973 and delivered to the authorized dealer MAHAG in Munich, which handed over the bright yellow sports car to its first owner in Germany. The vehicle later moved to a Belgian collection, from where it found its way back to Germany in 2018. For almost 3 years now, it has been registered to the current owner for regular trips along the Elbchaussee – open, Hamburg weather permitting…


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

In addition to the removable roof center section, this 911S also features color glass, driver’s seats in leatherette with center panels in fabric pepita, a contemporary Blaupunkt radio with factory “antenna left” (M440) and 3-point seat belts (M549). According to the available delivery certificate from Porsche, this car is still equipped with its genuine engine and presents itself in original color scheme (“matching number & colours).


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The car is well maintained and drives accordingly reliable. The response and performance of the six-cylinder are therefore also absolutely convincing and, with proper treatment, will continue to give much reason for pleasure in the coming years! According to the model year, the targa rides on the classic forged Fuchs wheels in 15″ format. For delivery, the 911 receives an inspection at a specialist workshop, so that the new owner can concentrate on “driving in its most beautiful form”.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The vehicle has a special attractiveness by the colorful paint, which reflects the zeitgeist of the 1970s in the best way, that one can escape only with difficulty. The interior conveys a pleasant light patina, which fits harmoniously into the overall condition. The car also convinces with a fair price/performance ratio, measured against the recently rising quotations for the sought-after “S” models of the first series.

As tester Manfred Jantke from “auto, motor & sport” wrote back in the early 1970s, you have to have “the passion of a mule not to be impressed by the Porsche 911S”- which actually says it all. Today, as in the past, the car is a very fast car, which even half a century after the end of production releases strong emotions and, as a model with a top engine, naturally offers the highest potential in terms of its further value development.

1978 – PORSCHE  911 SC 3.0

Fantastic PORSCHE 911 SC Coupé with sliding roof and new complete bare metal paint in the original colour.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

Unlike today, Porsche’s model range in 1978 was very clear. The 911 was a bit gray at the time, but still a bestseller that continued to set standards in its class and made competitors despair. This SC 3.0 (type 911.344) was delivered to its happy first owner by the servicing dealer in the USA on January 20th, 1978, as this original service booklet shows.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The shapely coupé is equipped with an electric sliding roof that allows somewhat less air into the vehicle cabin than the removable roof section of the parallel-built Targa, but the captivating lines of the original design are retained. Other equipment includes air conditioning, power windows and the classic forged wheels from Fuchs in 16″ size, which are completely new with premium tires from Michelin.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The Porsche was last registered in the state of Kansas in the Midwest of the USA before it was re-imported to Germany in the fall of 2013. The paintwork was in need of renewal, but the body showed itself to be completely rust-free when the paint was removed, which is already an absolute exception – even for well-maintained models of this year of construction. The paintwork was then very carefully completely renewed in the original color in 2015 at a specialist garage and presents itself flawlessly.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

In the course of the repainting, not only the windshield (genuine Porsche part) was renewed, but of course also all seals and numerous rubber parts on the body. The cognac-colored interior harmonizes perfectly with the paint in dark brown metallic and in this combination is highly topical again today. The original front seats have been extensively refurbished by a saddler and now are in the best possible, mint-like condition. The interior is otherwise in well-preserved original condition.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

Headlights and taillights have already been converted to the European specification with new parts. The 3-liter unit in this model produces 180 hp and has the more stable alloy block compared to its direct predecessor (with 2.7 liters displacement). The engine is “matching numbers”, has a mileage of just under 160k miles and runs trouble free. Engine and transmission have been completely resealed – flywheel, chain tensioner, clutch and the complete engine periphery are freshly renewed, as well as the brake system with lines and also the steering bearings.

After the brilliant price surge of the so-called “F model” of the 911 series, its successors with safety bumpers are moving into the center of interest. The more mature technology, better parts availability and lower entry-level prices make the “G model” interesting – which will also result in further rising listings here. This example is in a very attractive, largely refurbished condition and is likely to be on the shortlist of genuine prospective buyers, not least because of its great color scheme.

1995 – PORSCHE  993 C2 Cabriolet

PORSCHE 993 C2 Cabriolet in “triple black” with 6-speed manual transmission, documented 80tkm mileage and complete on-board folder!


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

Unlike today, Porsche’s model range was still clear in the 1990s. The 911 was already quite gray at that time but still a bestseller that continued to set standards in its class and made competitors despair. This “993” Cabriolet was delivered on April 05, 1994 by the servicing dealer to its happy first owner in Tampa / Florida, as the original “Maintenance Book” shows by means of a dealer stamp. After a good five years, the latter handed it over to the second owner in the same state.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The shapely convertible from the last series with the classic air-cooled Boxer engine is factory-equipped with an electric soft top, which is also finished in black to match the paint. Other equipment on this example includes the generally preferred 6-speed manual transmission and a seat trim in black leather with factory sports seats – among other extras that make open-top driving enjoyable.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The Porsche was registered in Florida until May 2015, where the car was regularly serviced by its owners according to the available “carfax” before it was re-imported to Germany. The paintwork is still in very good condition with a deep shine, and is largely flawless. The well-maintained vehicle has been owned by a long-time Porsche connoisseur in Hamburg after a full MOT inspection by a professional company, who is now releasing the car for sale.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

This 993 Cabriolet has a mileage of only 80,624 kilometers (speedometer conversion with proof documented) and can be immediately registered to the future owner. The 3.6-liter power unit produces 272 hp in this model, has the best running characteristics and is of course “matching numbers” (i.e. the first, original engine)! A new service including new tires is scheduled for delivery, so that the buyer can then concentrate on “driving in its finest form”…

With the 993 series, Porsche succeeded in creating what is acknowledged to be the best version of the original drive concept with air cooling of the high-performance engine based on the boxer principle. The formal aesthetics at the highest level find their counterpart in the mature technology and make this model series the most desirable 911 – which is also reflected in the current market quotations. This example is in very attractive, well above-average overall condition and is likely to be on the shortlist of genuine prospective buyers, not least because of its great color scheme.

1965 – PORSCHE  911 2.0 SWB

Unrestored early PORSCHE 911 2.0 with short wheelbase in patinated condition with very good mechanicals and body condition.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The Porsche 911 is probably the sports car of the century and leaves no one untouched. This is all the more true of the early production years and models, whose original shape and engine sound still enjoy great popularity worldwide. The genuine form of the 911 with 2.0-litre engine and short wheelbase, which is offered here, dates from the beginning of the production period of the so-called “F model” when Porsche was still producing the last examples of the 356 series simultaneously, but its time had passed.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

This vehicle was produced in March 1965 and delivered to its first owner through an authorised dealer in California. The 911 remained in the USA for four decades before being exported to Canada in 2004. Just one year later, the current owner shipped it to Germany via New York, largely in as-is condition. The car later received a German MOT check with a classic car approval and has been registered entirely since 2012.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The Porsche is characterised by a very good body condition, which is largely original. Repairs were only carried out in the floor area at the front left and a replacement of the right sill. Deviating from the factory specification is the 2-litre engine from a 1968 model, which here is fitted with the sought-after Weber carburettors. Furthermore, the car is optimised with stainless steel heat exchangers and Bilstein shock absorbers, which ensure even better roadholding.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The car was repainted from its original colour “slate grey” to the current shade of blue back in the 1970s and shows a sympathetic patina – a far cry from the numerous antiseptically restored examples on the market. The correct green instruments behind the large wooden steering wheel and the many details that distinguish an early 65 from the model after the factory holidays (from August of that year) are present and make this 911 desirable!


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The Porsche rides on 15″ steel rims by Lemmerz with chrome hubcaps and Michelin XWX tyres, as is correct for this year of construction. The car is well maintained and offers excellent mechanicals – the response and performance of the six-cylinder engine are therefore also absolutely convincing. The 911 proved its reliability on numerous trips, rallies and journeys throughout Europe. This vehicle is not a showcase specimen, but there to be driven and experienced!

The contemporary colour scheme, which reflects the spirit of the 1960s, gives this early model a special appeal that is hard to resist. Today, as in the past, the vehicle is a fast car that releases strong emotions and, as an early example, offers great potential in terms of its further value development. But apart from that you can also simply concentrate on “driving in its most beautiful form”…
