1987 Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera Targa – SOLD

Delivered new in Japan where LHD has great prestige, this 911 has been in WA for twenty years. Ten years ago it was treated to a thorough repaint, new rubbers, etc, and remains a beautifully presented example today.

Featuring power leather upholstered seats, power windows, front fog lamps and beautiful condition Fuchs alloy wheels, the car has had a dual outlet exhaust fitted by the current owner.

There’s an additional engine lid without a whale-tail, painted ready to go should a new owner wish to change it over. The number plates 87 TARGA go with the car to a WA buyer.

It’s proven extremely reliable for the owner, recently serviced and a new battery fitted not long ago.

This is a beautiful condition, matching numbers 911 of a desirable model, ready to go.

1990 BMW 525i – SOLD

This is a very well-kept, Australian-delivered E34 525i. Six-cylinder, automatic, power windows, with optional alloy wheels.

It’s had just three owners from new, the most recent owner for two decades. The car has been consistently well maintained by BMW dealers and specialists from new, with a fully stamped and annotated service book and many pages of receipts for work since.

In the last 10 years over $20,000 has been spent ensuring everything is spot-on, most recent work including timing belt, tensioner and water pump and new front and rear brake discs, pads and hoses. It’s covered just under 261,000km.

The interior is impressive, partly because lambswool seat covers (now removed) have protected the original upholstery, which remains spotless. There are some small dents on the bonnet and left front guard where some items fell on the car in the home garage – most likely easily dealt with by a mobile Paintless Dent Removal specialist.

The car sits on good Michelin Polit Sport tyres, has all the original books and tools.

It runs very nicely, is comfortable, spacious, has excellent service history and is unbeatable value.

1955 Jaguar XK140 FHC – SOLD

A lucky find… A factory right-hand-drive XK140 FHC, this car was sold new in England and had moved to Scotland and New Zealand before coming to Sydney then eventually Perth.

It had been restored in the late 1970s and upgraded at that time to a 3.8 with high ratio diff and gearbox.

It’s been with the same Perth owner for 37 years. He last drove the car about 10 years ago and his age and ill health mean it must be sold. The car’s not registered and has always been kept garaged.

It would probably take little to get running and could either provide a fun experience with the rough looking paintwork and patina, or would form the basis for a restoration.

This car’s not a wreck or a US import that’s been through the mill, but a sound, complete, well-used example – and it’s priced irresistibly!

1954 Alvis TC21/100 Grey Lady – $52,500 ono

This beautifully restored Alvis is the top-of-the-line version which incorporated many improvements and additional features. One of these was that the 100bhp engine propelled the car to 100 miles per hour, which was quite a feat in a saloon car in the 1950s.

The Grey Lady model also featured wire spoke wheels with knock-off hubs, fog and spot lights, hidden door hinges, and many other details plus twin carburettors, dual exhausts and other mechanical upgrades.

Luxuriously fitted out with traditional British leather upholstery and lots of polished woodwork inside, these were very comfortable cars.

Just six Grey Lady Alvises were sold new in Australia, this one delivered new in Adelaide.

This car was restored a few years ago and the present owner has added some improvements, but has mostly enjoyed driving the car on weekends and club runs, including to the country where the 3-litre 6-cylinder motor excels. It’s a smooth motor which gives excellent performance.

Registered 1CYY 989 on club registration. A rare opportunity.

1954 Land Rover S1 SWB 86-Inch – SOLD

This is a well sorted example of the legendary Series 1 Land Rover. It was well-specified from new, including options of a heater, bonnet mount for the spare wheel, tow hooks, etc. Since then practical additions have included spotlights, a towbar, additional tail-lights and removable carpet.

This Land Rover has had a few subtle improvements – such as a later 2¼ litre petrol engine, the added capacity usefully increasing power and torque. And Series 2 disc brake front end has been fitted, plus parabolic springs making the on-road capability greatly improved.

Recently it’s had a new soft-top, new tyres, a new exhaust system, shock absorbers, plus other minor items such as new wiper motors, external mirrors, sliding side windows and a passenger side step added. It’s been serviced and tuned.

The owner assures there’s no rust anywhere and that it doesn’t leak oil.

It’s not a show car but presents smartly though it can’t hide its almost 70 years of age – though the car’s owner is significantly older and needs to thin-out his collection…

The Land Rover is on club registration which can be changed over to club members. 1HSE 599.

These classic Land Rovers are a ball of fun, for open top motoring, club events and they’re just as capable off-road as ever.

1971 MGB GT – SOLD

The hardtop GT brought new practicality to the popular MGB with a more spacious cabin, rear hatch and weather-proof interior.

This car was built right-hand-drive and it belonged in Perth to the American Consulate being used as everyday transport for many years. The current owner bought it a few years ago with nostalgic reasons and with plans to rectify a few items on the car, minor cosmetic issues.

It has fallen out of registration, but runs well, has the Rostyle wheels and lovely large sunroof. A bluetooth sound system with period-correct look has been fitted as well as a wood-rim Moto Lita steering wheel.

The owner has lost some parking space due to moving premises, so the car must be sold – and it’s been priced very realistically.

1985 Land Rover 110 County V8 – SOLD

This County was sold new in WA and has had just one owner until 5 years ago when the present owner bought it. It’s the V8 model with 5-speed manual gearbox and 10-seat configuration.

He has done some work on the County, including fitment of a Holley carburettor, window tinting, new tyres and an LED light conversion.

There’s some rust in the bottoms of the back doors and passenger footwell, which he hasn’t got around to repairing yet. There is some flaking of the paint on some panels. Otherwise it’s pretty tidy and original. The odometer shows 219,000km.

Unfortunately before the owner’s been able to finish the Landy and get it registered, he has moved premises and has lost some parking and must sell. He’s realistic about the fact it requires finishing and the County is prices realistically.

2003 Jaguar XKR Convertible – SOLD

This beautiful, supercharged Jaguar was delivered new in Perth and is with its second owner, who’s had the car since 2008 as a part of a collection.

Being a post 2002 car it has the upgraded 6-speed ZF transmission. In that same year the engine capacity was increased to 4.2-litres with a boost in power. This car includes those and the many other upgrades that Jaguar made for the later models.

Of just over 90,000 XKs built, just 13,895 were the Convertible XKR.

This car has a full service history with some work done in the last couple of years on the suspension, a new battery and a full service earlier this year. Mileage is just 168,000km.

The car is in superb condition inside and out, and presents very well. The colour scheme suits it especially well, set-off by the optional BBS alloy wheels. Registration XK 03 WA can go with the car to a WA buyer.

It is very luxuriously fitted-out and will please any buyer.

1985 BMW 323i E30 Automatic

BMW’s E30 series are well sought after by enthusiasts today in recognition of the model’s great strengths. The 6-cylinder 323i is especially admired.

This fine example was delivered new in Perth and purchased five years ago by the current owner. He undertook a massive restoration project with the car, aiming to make it the best possible. The car was stripped and repainted to a high standard. An M-Tec interior was sought (with sports seats, rear headrests, etc) and retrimmed in leather.

The mechanicals of the car were thoroughly gone through with a huge amount of work done – and expense. Engine, diff, cooling system, suspension, brakes, etc, all received attention. Much of the detail is available by email.

A new faster steering system was added, the only modification. New tyres were fitted. The owner has sourced a genuine, correct sound system including speakers, yet to be installed.

A figure approximately double the asking price was spent on this 323i to make it as good as possible.

A few minor cosmetic items remain to be done. The owner has moved premises and has less car spaces, so reluctantly has to let the BMW go. The car is complete with books and tools.

Registered 7DS 803.

1986 Citroen 2CV6 Dolly – SOLD

The 2CV was a brilliant exercise in engineering. Unburstable mechanicals, lightweight construction, simple for maintenance and economical. But the 2CV was surprisingly comfortable to use.

This 2CV6 has the largest motor – a 602cc unit. The air-cooled twin is known for its reliability and economy. By 1986 front disc brakes were also fitted.

The Dolly version was one of a series of special models – the differences mainly cosmetic.

It arrived in Australia in 1995. The two previous owners each had the car long term, the last one for fourteen years. The mileage showing on the odometer is 93,000 miles.

The current owner has had some work done on the car – detailed in the full description of the car. A small quantity of service items come with the car as well as a service manual and copy of the owner’s handbook.

This is a particularly nice example, with no rust or dents and everything very well-presented. The underneath and engine bay are clean and oil-free. The owner assures it’s rust free.

Colourful seat covers are fitted, but the upholstery underneath requires attention. The foam is worn and the owner has bought a new set of seat rubbers ready for fitting. Upholstery sets are available at low cost from overseas suppliers.

The car is a joy to drive. It starts well and everything operates as it should. It’s on a set of correct Michelin tyres. This Dolly would be one of the better 2CVs in Perth. If sold to a Western Australian buyer, the number plates FIFI 2CV go with the car.
