1964 Daimler Majestic Major V8 – SOLD

This top of the range Daimler features the wonderful Edward Turner designed 4.6-litre hemi V8 engine giving the car excellent performance – for which it was lauded at the time of its release. It’s a rare car one of 1180 built and just a handful in Australia.

It has been comprehensively restored in a body-off chassis undertaking in the early 2000s and has been used with “100% reliability” since by its owner as a part of his diverse collection. With automatic transmission, beautiful leatherwork and extensive wood featuring in the interior, it’s a very luxurious car.

These were a high performance, expensive and very exclusive car in their day and this fine example is available at a fraction of what it would cost to restore today.

1969 Mercedes-Benz 600 Grosser – $219,000 ono

A very rare opportunity to buy a Perth-delivered 600. These hand-made uber-luxury cars were built to the highest possible standard of technology and quality. Every possible luxury was included, and the car powered by a 6.3-litre V8 engine. A 600 was the most expensive new car you could buy in 1969.

This car was one of a few sold new in Perth and has been with its current owner for 20 years. It has been cherished by its owner and maintained by experts. The interior has benefitted from a $50,000 restoration, which is very impressive.

The original service book and a history file are with the car, verifying the 94,000 miles on the odometer. It drives beautifully and has a tremendous presence on the road. Opportunities to buy good 600s come up very rarely. Don’t miss this chance. Registered UEY 434 as it was originally in 1969.

1950 Ford (Fordson) Thames ET6 Truck

REDUCED from $45,000 – Here’s a truck with a remarkable story. Sold new by Lynas Motors in Perth in 1950, it has never been on the market since. Purchased for use for a family orchard business in the foothills, the Thames truck served in its role of taking produce to market until 1961, and was then laid up. Then, 12 years ago a very comprehensive restoration was undertaken, resulting in a better than new condition vehicle. Every aspect was rebuilt in a body-off restoration. You can’t help but be impressed by its condition.

Having taken the truck to shows – sometimes with its one-owner Ferguson tractor on the back, the owner is now getting too old to use the truck and it’s on the market for the first time in 73 years!

This truck has done just 44,300 miles from new. The model features a Ford flathead V8 engine of 3.6-litres and 4-speed gearbox, all matching numbers and rebuilt. It has decent performance from the torquey engine, but can’t be described as fast… It’s rated at 5 tons.

The number plates DR 1164 were the plates it was issued with in 1950.

1966 Ford Mustang Fastback 2+2 – SOLD

A lovely, well-sorted example of the iconic early Mustang in arguably its most attractive body style. This car has been in WA for over a decade, having been an Arizona car. It’s fitted with the 289 V8, automatic transmission and air conditioning.

It’s a correct, unmodified, rust free, matching numbers car, which the owner advises has always proven to be very reliable and great fun to drive.

1927 Vauxhall 20R60 Melton Roadster – SOLD

Designed in the pre-GM period when Vauxhalls were high quality cars akin to Bentleys and Sunbeams, the 6-cylinder 20R60 had advanced specification and was available with several body styles.

This very attractive Roadster was comprehensively restored in the early 2000s and has since been a winner of many awards around Australia.

6-wheel equipped and with full wet weather gear, the car is finished in a very attractive colour scheme. Built in relatively small numbers, these are very rare anywhere in the world. Number plates 20R60 go with the car to a WA buyer. Great value – don’t miss out…

1966 Chrysler Valiant VC – SOLD

The VC is a model of Valiant which had an excellent reputation for quality and longevity. This survivor is a tidy and correct example, with the 225 cu-in Slant Six engine and Torqueflite automatic transmission. It has a rear Venetian blind, Centreline wheels and an upgraded sound system.

The paint ahead of the windscreen could do with attention, having had some flaking off its panels, which has been sprayed over. The car’s brightwork, interior, etc, are good.

The current owner has had the Valiant for a decade during which time it’s proven very reliable. Always well maintained, it promises many years of faithful service ahead. With confident styling and an excellent reputation for reliability, it’s easy to see why these are sought after by collectors.
