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.

The 4-cylinder version of the 911, using the 356 motor, initially outsold the 911. They have an excellent reputation for being unbreakable.

Thoroughbred & Classic Car magazines – SOLD

Approximately 500 copies from the very first year of issue 1973 onwards.

Originally called Classic Cars, then became Thoroughbred & Classic Cars, then changed back more recently.

I have almost every issue through to 2020. And more than 12 for many years.

Almost 100 copies from 1973-1980 (only 3 issues were published in 1973).

There are some additional magazines they put out and double copies some months for different markets. There’s also a lot of supplements, calendars, cards, etc, they published.

These are all in good condition. All can be seen, stacked by year.

I don’t want to sell separately (please don’t ask), so the whole lot is available at a price way under market value. Really early copies sell individually for upwards of $20 each. Would cost a fortune to buy individually. I can send a comprehensive list if you want.

Just $300.00, no offers thanks. Need them out of the way…

1967 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 2+2 – SOLD

Every enthusiast should have an E-Type at some point – the car Enzo Ferrari claimed was the most beautiful car ever made.

This manual 4.2 car was one of the 80 percent sent new to the USA and arrived in Perth in 2012 as a project. The owner undertook a major restoration of all aspects of the car. A vast amount of parts were sourced from around the globe for this work.

Notable is the special custom-made Jaguar 5-speed gearbox and ancillaries (which suits beautifully). The engine, electricals, interior, bodywork all received attention. It was converted to right-hand-drive – straightforward with no cutting and welding on an E-Type. Air conditioning was also fitted. The car was finished in 2017.

The proud owner used the E-Type as his everyday car after completing it until he passed away. It picked up some parking marks and the exterior shows several blemishes. Inside, in the boot and engine bay are all very good. There’s even a beautifully made custom-fitted tool box matching the boot trim.

The Jaguar starts well, runs very nicely, sounding great… The gearbox works so much nicer than the original. The car has a nice, tight feel on the road.

Due to the paintwork blemishes and that it’s a non-matching numbers car it is being marketed at a very realistic price, giving a broader group of enthusiasts the opportunity to enjoy E-Type ownership.

Documentation and manuals go with the car as do the plates 1967 XKE if bought by a WA buyer.

1982 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit – SOLD

The Silver Spirit model brought Rolls-Royce into the 1980s with a modern and improved design. It featured the smooth 6750cc V8 engine, a very high level of luxury and Rolls-Royce’s famous build quality.

This car was delivered new in Essex, England and after a few years found its way to Western Australia. It’s finished in a very regal colour combination of dark blue metallic paintwork with rich red interior. The car features the attractive and rare option of factory alloy wheels.

The car had a two long-term owners in Perth. Two years ago it found a new owner, with the intention of using the Silver Spirit for wedding work, in an idea which ultimately didn’t eventuate. The car was inspected for wedding car use and passed without any issues.

The owner advises that everything works as it should. There are a few minor cosmetic issues externally, not uncommon on a 40-year-old car. It should be noted that the underside and structure of the car is rust free otherwise the car would not have passed the recent pit inspection for registration. The most recent inspection was six months ago.

Inside, the car is lovely, plush and comfortable with beautiful polished woodwork throughout. With power seats, zone-adjustable climate control air conditioning, plush leather seats and the typical Rolls-Royce ‘wafting’ driving, this is a very luxurious and well-equipped car even by today’s standards.

There is a book set with the car in its original compendium, however the service booklet has not been stamped. A quantity of receipts for work done go with the car.

With power seats, zone-adjustable climate control air conditioning, plush leather seats and the typical Rolls-Royce ‘wafting’ driving, this is a very luxurious and well-equipped car even by today’s standards.

The owner is realistic about car values and the car is priced to sell. This Silver Spirit is not a concours trailer queen, but a sound, nicely kept example in which everything works, that offers tremendous value.
