1993 Mercedes-Benz 220 TE Transmission: automaticMileage:74200The Mercedes-Benz 124 series is a range of mid-size cars made from 1984 to 1997. The range included numerous body configurations, and although collectively referred to as the W-124, official internal chassis designations varied by body style; saloon (W 124). From 1993, the 124 series was officially marketed as the E-Class.This automatic example of the W124 220 TE is presented in Almandine with grey trim and has covered a mere 74,200 miles from new. It features the two fold-away seats in the boot making this a practical, occasional seven seater. Our vendor, an elderly lady, purchased the car in 1996 as only the second owner and has kept and used the car ever since. During her tenure the car has been garaged when not driven and has been well maintained as demonstrated by a comprehensive service history from Mercedes-Benz main dealers. The car also benefits from an MoT valid until February 2022. No longer able to drive the car, our vendor needs a new keeper for this lovely example of the fantastically reliable W124 which is equally capable now as it was in 1993.Guide Price £4,000 - £6,000 Interested parties should note that the V5 for this car has been applied for by the son of the owner and it will arrive in due course.

1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 SL Pagoda Transmission: automaticMileage:66044The very pretty and highly desirable Mercedes-Benz 250 SL was the successor to the popular 230 SL and was first introduced to the public at the 1967 Geneva Motor Show. The brief production run ended a year later in January 1968 and as a result of this short run, the 250 SL is the rarest of the W113 (Pagoda) series cars. It retained the stiffer suspension and sportier feel of the early SLs but provided improved agility with a new 150bhp, seven main bearing engine and it also came with rear disc brakes. The range was also improved with the increased fuel tank capacity which went up from 65 litres to 82 litres. These lovely German stalwarts were offered with a four-speed automatic, a four-speed manual box or the ZF five-speed. Also, for the first time an optional limited slip differential was also available which improved the handling no end.This well-presented 250 SL is offered in the desirable colour combination of white (W113) with a dark blue hood and interior, it was imported by the current vendor from the United States in 2014. Since its arrival the Pagoda has been treated to various restoration work undertaken by Mercedes-Benz Specialists, Silchester Cars Ltd. The paintwork is generally in good order throughout showing very few blemishes and still retains a deep shine. The interior too is very good, the carpets and seat upholstery look to have been restored in recent times and the dash presents well. Used occasionally by our vendor the 250 SL comes to the open market in good condition ready to be enjoyed imminently. Offered with various sundry bills, invoices for restoration work, previous MoT test certificates, the UK V5 registration document and the current MoT test certificate valid until September 2022. Ready to be enjoyed by its new custodian, this Mercedes-Benz 250 SL looks to be exceptional value given the guide price.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1961 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Transmission: manualMileage:347The Mercedes-Benz 190SL with the 300SL made history at the New York International Motor Sports Show in February 1954 by being the first new production Mercedes- Benz to be unveiled outside of Germany. The impression given by the 190SL alongside the bigger 300SL was neat, sporty and with dashing lines. This was the trait of Mercedes-Benz designers Karl Wilfret and Walter Hacket. Despite opinions, the statistics tell their own tale as between May 1955 and February 1963, 25,881 of these cars were produced, it was a huge success for Mercedes-Benz. Its engine boasted four inline cylinders with a chain driven overhead camshaft and two Solex 44PHH carburettors, delivering a respectable 108bhp for that era. The body was a monocoque design, welded to the shortened chassis of the type 180 saloon. A racing version with aluminium doors and a small windscreen was never produced although these parts could be ordered from the factory for weekend racing.This left hand drive 190SL was imported from South Africa circa six years ago where it was subject to an extensive restoration, which included a colour change from Medium Grey to Black (DB040). The car has resided in a private collection since import and comes complete with records of previous MoT test certificates and the UK V5 registration document. With its superb colour combination of Black bodywork and cream leather upholstery, this beautiful 190SL convertible is a suitable acquisition for the discerning collector.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1988 Excalibur Series V Four Door Saloon Transmission: manualMileage:37710With styling based on the 1928 Mercedes-Benz SSK, the Excalibur was designed by Brook Stevens for Studebaker who then formed a company to manufacture and market the cars. These handcrafted luxury cars are manufactured in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and are fitted with drive train and suspension systems from General Motors. These rear wheel drive, four-speed, automatic cars are well equipped and proved popular with many American stars including Sonny and Cher, Tony Curtis and the comedienne Phyllis Diller who owned four of them.This extremely rare Series V, four-door, version is finished in Antique White and trimmed in Dove Grey leather with burgundy piping. The interior is complemented by a walnut dashboard and door cappings and the look is enhanced with wire wheels and an abundance of chrome. This low mileage example shows only two previous owners since its arrival in the UK in 2005. The history file for this Excalibur contains a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate valid until June 2022, previous MoT test certificates and various maintenance and service invoices. Also included are original price lists, specification sheets and a sales brochure. Realistically priced, this head turning luxury car has enormous kerb appeal and would be ideal as a wedding or prom car or just a wonderful addition to any car collection.

1979 Porsche 911 / 930 Turbo by RUF BTR Transmission: manualMileage:147943Those that know Porsche, know RUF. As AMG is to Mercedes-Benz, RUF take already formidable driving machines and turn them into psychotic hooligans.In a small village in the Allgau region, west of Munich, is the home of RUF Automobile GmbH, a small company who, in conjunction with Porsche, has rewritten the rule books using their own very special font. Production began in earnest in 1983 with the first vehicle to bear a RUF chassis number, a 3.4 litre Turbo model pushing out 374hp through a RUF developed five-speed manual gearbox, arrived. It wasn’t just about raw power; a special instrument was developed, twin spark plugs installed, RUF harness, seats and steering wheel. These upgrades were all cloaked in a new RUF BTR (standing for Group B Turbo RUF) Turbo bodywork.RUF concentrates not only on engine, transmission and body, but also on wheels and brakes with RUF 17” forged Speedline alloy wheels complementing the model range as well RUFs classic four-pipe exhaust and 17” tyres (originally developed for the 959) resulting from a close co-operation with tyre manufacturer, Dunlop. The CTR followed, a lightweight coupé powered by a 469hp, 3.4 litre, twin-turbo engine. This ‘Yellowbird’ as it came to be known, set new benchmarks for street-legal, performance sports cars. It destroyed its peers such as the Ferrari F40, AMG Mercedes-Benz and even the works-tuned Porsche 959. It was in that same year that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) certified RUF as an automobile manufacturer in its own right. To this day RUF continues to source 'bodies-in-white' directly from Porsche to then produce bespoke sports cars to their new owner’s specification and with each very special set of characteristics.This early lefthand drive RUF BTR with a 3.3 turbo engine is believed to be one of between 70 and 80 examples bearing an original Porsche chassis number and the car still features on their website.First registered in 1979, this Porsche 911/930 Turbo was significantly upgraded to BTR specification in circa 1985 using original RUF parts. The plaque on the glovebox indicates the conversion was completed by the authorised Japanese RUF importer, Ishida Engineering, in conjunction with RUF HQ. Indeed, the RUF factory in Pfaffenhausen, Germany, has supplied a recent letter confirming the originality of all RUF parts and modifications.• RUF five-speed gearbox• RUF single piece forged Speedline alloy wheels (9x17 & 10x17)• RUF twin double tailpipes and exhaust muffler• RUF cockpit Turbo Boost Control• RUF Turbo body kit: deeper bumpers front and rear, and thicker-set side skirts,• RUF badged engine lid• RUF DTM grafted racing wing mirrors• RUF embossed steering wheel• RUF badged instrument cluster with turbo boost gauges• RUF embossed gear lever• RUF floor carpets• Ishida Engineering/RUF plaque on the glovebox• Original RUF specified Recaro racing bucket seats with harnessesSpecified originally in Grand Prix White, this purposeful-looking BTR is fully registered in the UK, fully serviced and comes with a full up-to-date MoT test certificate. Importantly though, it also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche themselves as well as a Certificate of Authenticity from RUF.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1995 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 Transmission: automaticMileage:102448Following the resounding success of the R107, the R129 Mercedes-Benz SL had a rather tough act to follow, as it still had to carry on the tradition of a fast and reliable grand touring convertible. The advantage designers had with the R129 was technology. By the time the final car rolled off the production line in 1989, these earlier models had been in production for 18 years with very little change. Therefore, the SL500 featured many new and innovative ideas, such as controlled electronic damping, automatically expanding roll-over bar and a more modern multi link rear axle. In addition to this was a fully operating electric roof, windows, door mirrors and seats, which made this model easy and comfortable to operate. The new SL also boasted a more powerful engine and the stopping power was aided by anti-locking braking for added reassurance.First registered on 1st August 1995, this example is presented in stunning, recently fully painted, metallic blue with the grey leather trim and electric seats. Our vendor purchased the car in 2017 from a family friend after the car had been garaged and off the road, having a real soft spot for the R129 he has commissioned the car to be fully repainted and the desirable AMG specification wheels all refurbished. This was combined with earlier cosmetic restoration works such as new roof glass, a new wiring loom (for which these cars are known) with an auto electrician ensuring all of the electrics work as they should. Being a later R129 the seats are fully electric, the bumpers are fully colour coded as per the 1995 facelift and side airbags. The car is offered with the original book pack, an MoT test certificate valid until September 2022 and having had a recent service. Offered in what is possibly the best colour combination with the most desirable V8 engine, this is a very desirable example of the ever-popular R129 Mercedes-Benz SL.Interested parties should note that the V5 for this lot has been misplaced and the vehicle will be sold without this document, the new owner will need to apply for a V5 using a V62 form from the DVLA.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SL – 24Valve Transmission: automaticMileage:37286Unveiled at the March 1989 Geneva Motor Show, the new Mercedes-Benz R129 Series SL range was beautifully engineered. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell, its sophisticated, all-round independent suspension was augmented by a host of active and passive safety features including electronic stability control, ventilated ABS disc brakes, adaptive-damping shock absorbers, front airbags and an integral rollover bar that deployed in less than a third of a second if the car ever sensed an impending flip. Suitably cosseting, the convertible's impeccably built cabin included a fully automated power hood and featured such advancements as memory seats, electric windows/mirrors and an adjustable steering column. Yet lurking beneath all the luxury and refinement was a performance orientated sports car.This lovely example is presented in silver with black leather interior and a black hood. The car is in superb condition throughout, particularly the bodywork which is unmarked. It comes with its factory hardtop and its black leather interior is in good condition. Presented with an MoT test certificate valid until June 2022 and with only 37,286 miles covered from new, this stylish Mercedes-Benz is offered with a reasonable reserve and still looks very ‘Hollywood’ with the hood down!Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1991 Excalibur Phaeton IV Transmission: automaticMileage:18949The Excalibur from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was a car styled after the 1928 Mercedes-Benz SSK by Brooks Stevens for Studebaker. Stevens subsequently formed a company to manufacture and market the cars which were conventional under their styling. A prototype premiered at car shows in 1964 fitted on a Studebaker chassis and using a 290-horsepower Studebaker 289ci V8. Studebaker subsequently ceased operations, ending the availability of its 289ci V8 so General Motors agreed to provide a Chevrolet 327ci in 300bhp Corvette tune, making the 2100-pound Excalibur a strong performer. With acceleration from 0-60mph taking less than five seconds and projected top speed was 160mph, the Excalibur was not for the faint hearted.This 1983 Phaeton IV model benefits from a 4998cc engine and was imported from the USA in 1991. Presented in Pure White with striking chrome work and an impressive red leather interior, the car comes to auction with a V5C registration document and a removable hardtop. The look of this example is enhanced by wire wheels, a split front windscreen and the classic side mounted spare wheel. It is easy to see why previous owners of this head turning marque have included Frank Sinatra, Steve McQueen and Dean Martin. Offered with a very competitive estimate, this rare piece of motoring will certainly stand you out from the crowd and that tuneful V8 is bound to make you and passengers grin from ear to ear.Interested parties should note that this vehicle is now offered without reserve and this Excalibur requires a new water pump.Lot is no reserve.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.
