1977 Ferrari 512 BB

1977 Ferrari 512 BB

The Ferrari 512 BB, short for Berlinetta Boxer, stands as one of the most evocative Ferraris of the 1970s and early 1980s, a car that marked a pivotal evolution in the brand’s lineage of mid-engined grand tourers.

At its core lies a 5.0L flat-12 engine, mounted longitudinally and paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. Despite its name, the engine wasn’t a true boxer, but a 180-degree V12 that produced around 360hp. Power delivery was raw and mechanical, accompanied by the unmistakable howl of twelve cylinders coming on song just behind the driver’s head.

Today, the 512 BB stands as one of the last truly analog Ferraris. Hand-built, visceral, and pure in its mechanical honesty. It bridges the gap between the raw 1970s supercar era and the more polished modern Ferraris that followed, making it one of the most collectible and emotionally charged grand tourers in Ferrari’s history.

The example we have on offer presents very well with 63300 miles showing on the clock, being finished in Rosso Corsa over “Yellow” interior. Delivered new to Mr. G Smith on 12 May 1977 in Scotland, it found its way to our shores and has passed through the hands of a couple of renowned Ferrari collectors in its time here. Originally delivered in Azzuro Blue, this 512 went through thorough refurbishment and colour change to the more popular Rosso Corsa. Being the BB, this is the more desirable of the 512’s with around 929 examples built before it was succeeded by the fuel-injected 512 BBi.

1938 MG  “VA”

1938 MG  “VA”

The MG VA was introduced in 1937 as part of MG’s move upmarket, bridging the gap between the smaller MG TA sports cars and the larger, more luxurious SA and WA saloons. It was positioned as a refined yet sporting four-seater, offering buyers an MG with real touring ability without sacrificing the charm.

At its heart, the VA carried a 1.5-litre inline four-cylinder engine, producing around 54 horsepower, modest by modern standards, but enough to give the car lively performance for its class. Power was sent through a four-speed manual gearbox, and with a top speed of just over 120km/h, the VA was perfectly suited for long-distance motoring in pre-war Britain.

Production lasted only until 1939, with just over 2,400 examples built before the outbreak of the Second World War brought civilian car manufacture to a halt. Today, the MG VA is remembered as a rare and elegant pre-war model, one that embodied MG’s ambition to move beyond small sports cars into the world of refined touring machines.

The MG VA ‘Tickford’ on offer presents very well, being finished in red with black wheel arches and sidestep over a cream leather interior, making for a stunning spec with 2268 miles showing on the clock. This car has been under its current ownership for 5 years, having been superbly restored approximately 6 years ago, it makes for a great example. These are a rarity in South Africa, with only a handful in the country. It comes with the original fire extinguisher, spare wheel positioned on the left-front wheel arch as well as original tools located in the engine bay.

1969 Mercedes Benz 280SL Pagoda

1969 Mercedes Benz 280SL Pagoda

The Mercedes-Benz 280SL “Pagoda” stands as one of Stuttgart’s most elegant expressions of engineering and design, a perfect blend of sportiness, sophistication, and timeless style.

Introduced in 1967 as the final evolution of the W113 series, the 280SL replaced the earlier 230SL and 250SL, bringing with it a larger and more refined 2.8-litre inline-six engine (M130) producing around 170 horsepower. This powerplant offered smooth, confident performance that matched the car’s effortless character, capable of propelling the roadster to over 200km/h while maintaining composure and grace.

Built from 1967 to 1971, the 280SL was available with both manual and automatic transmissions, and its well-balanced chassis, power-assisted disc brakes, and independent suspension made it one of the most refined sports cars of its day. While it wasn’t a pure sports racer like its 300SL predecessor, it represented a new kind of luxury roadster.

The Pagoda we have on offer presents well, being finished in white with a contrasting black hard top, and a black leather interior with 80178km showing on the clock. This 280SL is right hand drive and features the optional 5-speed ZF manual transmission, a combination that makes for an extremely rare example. It is believed only 1% of all 280SL’s were fitted with the 5-speed manual. Its timeless silhouette, engineering integrity, and effortless charm have secured its place among the most admired grand tourers of the 20th century, a car that embodies the golden era of Mercedes-Benz craftsmanship.

1970 W111 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5

1970 W111 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5

The Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5 is regarded as one of the most elegant and desirable classics to emerge from Stuttgart during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Introduced in 1969, it represented both a technical and stylistic milestone for Mercedes, pairing the timeless Paul Bracq–designed W111/W108 bodywork with the company’s first modern V8 engine.

At the heart of the car lay the newly developed 3.5-litre M116 V8 engine. Smooth, compact and efficient for its time, it delivered around 200hp and over 280 Nm of torque, enough to carry the car to a top speed of 210 km/h while maintaining Mercedes’ hallmark composure. Fuel injection ensured strong throttle response and improved efficiency, while the engine’s quiet, effortless character suited the car’s grand touring nature. The two-door versions in particular have since become icons of Mercedes design, hand-built with remarkable attention to detail, richly appointed with wood, chrome and leather, and assembled to a standard that even today feels exceptional.

The example we have on offer presents very well, being finished in white over a blue leather interior and superb wood trim around the dash and A-Pillars. It comes with aircon and electric windows, with 7848km showing on the clock. It received an earlier restoration initiated by a highly respected restorer in the South African Mercedes fraternity. A superb drive and head turner, this car is highly sought after by collectors, especially in the 3.5L which rarely come into market.  Built in limited numbers (fewer than 5,000 examples split between Coupe & Cabriolet), their rarity and craftsmanship have elevated them into the realm of true collector’s pieces, often commanding six-figure sums at auction.

1988 Chevrolet Corvette 35th Anniversary

1988 Chevrolet Corvette 35th Anniversary

In 1988, Chevrolet celebrated 35 years of the Corvette with a special edition of the C4, a car that already stood as a symbol of American performance. Officially known as the 35th Anniversary Edition, it was based on the Corvette coupe and offered as an optional package that turned heads with its distinctive look and rarity.

The anniversary model was immediately recognizable thanks to its white-on-white theme, a white exterior finish with colour-matched 17-inch wheels, a transparent removable roof panel, and a striking black roof bow that visually divided the car. Inside, white leather sport seats carried “35th Anniversary” embroidery, with matching door panels and steering wheel, contrasted by black carpeting and trim. Each car also bore a commemorative dash plaque, making sure no one forgot its special status.

Performance remained true to the C4’s promise. Under the hood sat the L98 5.7-liter small-block V8, producing 245 horsepower, paired with either a 4-speed automatic or the Doug Nash 4+3 manual transmission. Chevrolet built only 2,050 examples, all coupes, making it one of the rarer C4 editions.

The example on offer presents very well with 64300km indicated. This is number 1713 of the 2050 produced. This is the first time this car has come onto the market in 19 years, being well taken care of by its previous custodian. As this is the C4 Corvette, it comes with modern amenities such as electric seats, electric windows, a digital dash and this has the 4-speed automatic transmission. Today, the 35th Anniversary Corvette stands as a collectible piece in the Corvette lineage, remembered not just for its bold appearance but also its legacy as America’s sports car.

1951 Bentley Mark VI Drophead Coupe

1951 Bentley Mark VI Drophead Coupe

The 1958 Bentley Mark VI Drophead Coupé represents the elegant transition between pre-war craftsmanship and post-war refinement, a car that married traditional British luxury with newfound modernity. Though production of the Mark VI officially ended in 1952, several late coach-built examples, like this 1958 Drophead, were completed by bespoke bodybuilders, showcasing the enduring demand for hand-crafted Bentleys well into the decade.

Under the bonnet lies Bentley’s robust 4.3-litre straight-six engine, paired with a smooth four-speed manual gearbox, delivering stately power and an effortless touring character that defined the marque’s post-war reputation.

As a Drophead Coupé, this Bentley exudes understated glamour. Its proportions are balanced and flowing, the long bonnet, sculpted wings, and sweeping rear deck giving it a timeless sense of grace. The convertible top folds neatly away, transforming the car from a formal grand tourer into a graceful open-air cruiser. Inside, the craftsmanship is pure Crewe with hand-stitched Connolly leather, polished walnut veneers, and finely detailed instrumentation. Every element was built by hand, a reflection of Bentley’s philosophy that luxury was measured not by abundance, but by perfection.

This example was last seen on the open market 25 years ago, making this a great opportunity to obtain a true collector’s piece. Fewer than 200 units of the Drophead Coupe are believed to have been produced and this one stands out with it’s Green on Green combination, with black contrast on the exterior and 93793 miles showing on the clock. This car comes with a tool kit in the boot as well as a spare wheel with rear tonneau cover. It remains a symbol of understated power and enduring craftsmanship, a car not just to be admired, but to be experienced as one of the last true hand-crafted Bentleys of its kind.

1935 Rolls Royce Phantom 2 Drophead Coupe

1935 Rolls Royce Phantom 2 Drophead Coupe

The Rolls-Royce Phantom II Drophead Coupé epitomizes the golden age of pre-war motoring, an era when luxury and craftsmanship were defined by elegance rather than excess. Produced between 1929 and 1935, the Phantom II was the final model built under the personal supervision of Henry Royce, and the last of the marque’s great six-cylinder flagships. Under its long, imposing bonnet sat a 7.7-litre straight-six engine paired to a four-speed manual gearbox, delivering smooth, near-silent performance with Rolls-Royce’s signature precision and grace.

The Drophead Coupé variant added a touch of romance to the Phantom’s stately character. Its folding roof transformed the car from a formal grand tourer into a magnificent open-top machine, ideal for leisurely drives along the coast or the winding roads of the English countryside. Each example was coach built to order, with bodies crafted by renowned firms such as Park Ward, Barker, and Gurney Nutting. No two were alike, each reflecting the personal taste of its owner through bespoke detailing, sumptuous interiors, and exquisite materials.

The example on offer presents well, being finished in blue over dark blue leather interior with 14154 miles showing on the clock. This car was last put into the open market in the 1980’s, making this an exceptional opportunity to obtain something special. Approximately 1681 units were produced in the Drophead Coupe body style, being the rarest of the Phantom 2’s. On the move, the Phantom II delivered an effortless sense of occasion. To drive one was to experience a masterclass in mechanical refinement, a car that seemed to glide over the road in silent dignity.

1991 BMW 325iS “Evo 2”

1991 BMW 325iS “Evo 2”

The BMW 325iS is one of the most celebrated performance legends to come out of South Africa, a car born from motorsport and exclusivity. Built during the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was a special model of the E30 developed by BMW South Africa in response to strict local racing homologation rules.

Two major versions defined this car, being the Evo 1 and Evo 2, both featuring lightweight panels, revised aerodynamics, sports suspension, and uprated brakes. Most importantly, they housed a larger-displacement version of BMW’s straight-six engine. While the standard 325i ran a 2.5-litre engine, the Evo models received an uprated 2.7-litre straight-six. Power was sent to the rear wheels through a close-ratio 5-speed manual, with a limited-slip differential coming as standard.

The 325is we have on offer is the Evo 2 and it is in pristine condition, one of the finest we have seen with 137100km showing on the clock. Finished in Diamond Black Metallic over a black leather interior, it makes for a serious statement on the road. The interior is in superb condition, being highly original. This car comes with a tool kit in the boot and has been beautifully restored by very well-known panel shop to a level fit for the ideal collector. Only 508 units of the Evo models were believed to have been built, making them exceptionally rare and sought after today, not just in South Africa, but among BMW enthusiasts worldwide.

 1967 Pontiac GTO 400 Ci

 1967 Pontiac GTO 400 Ci

The 1967 Pontiac GTO represents one of the purest expressions of the muscle car era, a car that took the formula Pontiac had pioneered just a few years earlier and refined it into a true icon. By ’67, the GTO had already become a legend, and this model year brought subtle styling changes, mechanical improvements, and the kind of presence that made it a standout on American streets.

Visually, the 1967 GTO carried a clean, aggressive look. A split grille with stacked headlights defined the front end, while flowing body lines and a sculpted rear gave it a muscular stance without unnecessary flash. Unique badging, hood scoops, and optional Rally wheels added to its unmistakable identity. Buyers could choose between coupe, hardtop, and convertible body styles, each delivering the same balance of style and muscle.

Under the hood, the heart of the ’67 GTO was the 400-cubic-inch V8, replacing the old 389. With an output of 360hp, it offered a mix of torque and raw speed that few cars of the era could match. For serious performance, the Ram Air package added freer-breathing heads and a functional hood scoop, giving the GTO the edge on the street and strip. A new Turbo-Hydramatic three-speed automatic also joined the lineup, broadening its appeal.

The example on offer presents very well in red over black leather interior, with 8701 miles showing. It’s not often that these pop up on the local market, making this an excellent opportunity to obtain a legendary muscle car. It comes with a spare wheel and jack. The Pontiac GTO is often regarded as the model that solidified the GTO’s reputation. Today, it stands as a desirable classic of the era, a machine that perfectly captured the spirit of 1960s American performance.

1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Facelift

1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Facelift

The 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 marked a dramatic shift in both styling and presence for Ford’s pony car. Bigger, wider, and more aggressive than the models that came before, the ’71 Mach 1 reflected the muscle car era at its boldest, a time when displacement and attitude were just as important as sharp design.

The body grew in length and width, giving the Mach 1 a more imposing stance. Its Sports Roof fastback shape was stretched with a longer hood and a more pronounced rear deck, while the grille featured a bold twin-opening design flanked by recessed headlights. Blacked-out hood treatments, optional scoops, stripes, and “Mach 1” badging added to its stance, with details like honeycomb tail panels and sports mirrors emphasizing performance over subtlety.

The example we have on offer is finished in grey with twin racing stripes over black leather interior. This, however, is not your average pony as it has been fitted with a monster LS Corvette engine, making this a restomod of sorts, turning this pony into an absolute animal on the road, with 317km showing since the engine was installed. The seats make for a comfortable journey, being soft but supportive. It features LED front headlights and sits on custom 18-inch Legend Series rims, finishing off the look. A contradiction in terms but a beast on the road, with a stance to match.

1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 (390)

1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 (390)

The Ford Mustang Mach 1 arrived in 1969 as a bold new chapter in the Mustang story, blending muscle car aggression with the sleek style of the fastback Sports Roof body. Introduced as a performance-oriented trim, the Mach 1 immediately distinguished itself with a more menacing look and serious hardware under the skin, setting the tone for what many consider one of the most iconic Mustangs ever built.

Visually, the Mach 1 carried details that left no doubt about its intent: a matte-black hood treatment with functional or simulated scoops, hood pins, side stripes, and bold badging. A rear deck spoiler, racing-style mirrors, and a reflective tail panel completed the aggressive look.

Power came from a 351-cubic-inch V8, but buyers could climb the ladder to a 390, 428 Cobra Jet, or even the fearsome 428 Super Cobra Jet. These engines, combined with heavy-duty suspension upgrades, made the Mach 1 more than just a styling exercise, it was a true muscle car.

The Mach 1 we have on offer is finished in blue with gold side stripes, the signature black bonnet and a black leather interior, making for a stunning spec and 93471km showing on the clock. It is a clean example and presents beautifully. Additional extras include the original spare wheel and jack tucked away in the boot. Today, the 1969 Mustang Mach 1 is remembered as one of the definitive performance Mustangs of the classic muscle car era, prized for its combination of style, power, and presence.
