1990 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL – $17,500

Leave a reply

One of the all-time great luxury cars was the Mercedes-Benz W126 series – and the ultimate version was the 560SEL. The long wheelbase version and the largest engine – a 5.6-litre V8, sold for $238,000 back in 1990.

The luxurious 560SEL wanted for nothing – it even had a power rear seat. This car is a late version which benefitted from several updates, most noticeable being in the upholstery finishes and externally, smooth, deeper bumpers and side claddings.

Delivered new in New South Wales, this car moved to Western Australia when relatively new. The previous owner was a Mercedes-Benz Car Club member and had the car for many years before selling it to the current owner in 2010. He is also a club member and has primarily used the car for club runs and Sunday cruises

He says the car has always been very reliable and has required no major work during his ownership. In addition to regular maintenance, details of jobs undertaken will be included in email description. Today the car has 251,000km on its odometer.

The 560 is finished in a rare and attractive colour scheme of Malachite Green metallic, with light coloured leather interior which suits it well. The car is fitted with lambswool seat covers, and a check confirms there’s no undue wear to the driver’s seat. The original Becker Mexico sound system is fitted.

This car is a joy to drive. The smooth V8 provides ample performance and the transmission changes beautifully smoothly. The ride and comfort levels are excellent, even by today’s standards.

2012 Renault Megane RS 265 RB7 Red Bull – $24,900

Leave a reply

Renault’s Megane series spawned special RS versions which were formidable performers in the hot hatch world. Several times these cars set new lap records at the Nürburgring as the fastest front wheel drive production car to lap the circuit.

Just 51 of these RB7 cars were made to Australian specifications.

The RS 265 was already very highly specified and the Red Bull version added more.

The Megane RB7’s distinguishing features includes the Etoile Black body colour, yellow coloured front bumper spoiler, mirrors and rear diffuser, Red Bull Racing’s official logos on the doors and a special roof graphic. Inside there are Recaro bucket seats, a unique gear lever knob and a numbered plaque and stand-out yellow seat belts.

The 2.0-litre 16-valve turbocharged engine produces 265 PS (261 bhp /195 kW) and 360 Nm (266 lb-ft) of torque.

This fine example delivered new in Brisbane in March 2013 to a Perth buyer. The service booklet stamps show the car has always been maintained properly. The present owner has had a new battery installed, new timing belt and water pump, as a sensible precautionary measure. The last service was at 50,922km and the car has done about 100km since then.

It remains an outstanding example of the breed – in immaculate condition throughout. There’s nothing anyone could criticise about the condition of this Megane RS. It would satisfy the most particular buyer and would sit proudly in any collection.

The numberplates REDBULL 1 are available by negotiation for Western Australian buyers.

This example would probably rate as the best example in Australia today.

1963 GAZ Volga M21 Export – $30,000

Leave a reply

This is a remarkably rare and fascinating classic – a GAZ Volga M21. The Volga was a upper middle-range Russian car, mostly used for government officials and the KGB…

The cars were exported to a few nearby countries. This one went to Estonia, where it remained until bought by a Melbourne enthusiast.

He had the Volga displayed by invitation at the prestigious Motorclassica exhibition one year, where it gained a lot of attention. And the car has participated in the Bay to Birdwood in South Australia twice, being reliable enough to drive there and back. The photo above shows it in the event.

After several years of ownership the owner sold the car to a buyer in the Gold Coast, Queensland six years ago, where the car remains today.

Its odometer shows 33,000km, which the owner believes is original. He says the car has always been reliable.

The Volga features a 2.4-litre 4-cylinder motor, a 3-speed gearbox, independent front suspension and a 12-volt electrical system.

This car is the Export version, which gains some additional chrome trim and interior fittings.

Included is a big workshop manual in English – which must be much rarer than the car.

These cars are renowned for their sturdy construction, which is unsurprising given the rigors some would go through in their home country.

For collectors in WA, there’s never been a Volga of any model in Perth. It would be a very welcome addition to our car culture here.

1965 Ford Mustang Fastback – $99,000

Leave a reply

This car is an exceptional example. The original Mustang changed the course of motoring for many and has become an object of desire for collectors ever since.

This car’s build number reveals the car was built at the San Jose factory on February 24th 1965, with a 289 V8, C-4 automatic transmission and 2.80:1 rear axle.

Early ownership history is unknown. The car underwent a thorough restoration in the USA in the late 1990s, the tremendously high quality of which is evident.

By 2006 the car was in Western Australia.

Some paperwork exists for the car in the period following, showing routine servicing, replacement of wearing parts within the scope of normal expectations.

Eight years ago the present owner bought the Mustang after a search for the best he could find. It’s seen minimal use as a part of the collection of classic and vintage cars, always regularly maintained.

The car presents beautifully as a spectacular example of the model. Inside and out the car is in show car condition. It is completely correct and unmodified. The attention to detail throughout is evidence of a very high quality restoration.

Even the underneath presents exceptionally well – the car only having been used in fair weather. The odometer reads 22,830 miles.

The car starts immediately, and with automatic transmission and power steering, is an easy car to enjoy on the road. The engine emits a nice burbling sound and offers performance aplenty.

While there are plenty of Mustangs around, opportunities to find such a fine example are few, and this car will satisfy the most discerning collector.

1976 Steyr Puch Pinzgauer 712M 6×6 – $59,000

Leave a reply

The Pinzgauer is acknowledged around the globe as one of the most capable off-roaders ever produced.

Made in Austria, the Pinzgauer is built around a central tube chassis and fitted with a Steyr designed 2.5 litre inline 4-cylinder, air-cooled and a 5-speed transmission with 2-speed transfer case and on-the-fly hydraulic differential locks.

About 30 countries’ military forces used Pinzgauers and they were used extensively by energy companies for oil exploration purposes. The vehicles gained an enviable reputation for having superior capabilities to mass production off road vehicles, yet practical in use due to their size and reliability. The width of the track is similar to large mass production 4WDs, so dirt roads provide no obstacle (unlike, for example, the bigger Hummer).

This vehicle was delivered new in 1976 to the Swiss Army. Like all military vehicles, it would have been meticulously maintained. After completing its duties the car was exported to the USA and ended up with a military vehicle collector in New York. In the US, fuel injection was installed to the motor as well as the extensive bar work surrounding the vehicle and full-length roof rack. It was from New York that the present owner purchased the Pinzgauer eight years ago and set about arranging its freight to Western Australia.

On arrival a few items were attended to – such as fitting of six new tyres and new shock absorbers. The Pinzgauer was licensed without any trouble and then a few more items added. Two sets of driving lights were added to the front (plus sides and rear), electric power steering was fitted – which makes a big difference. A reversing camera with screen were installed.

The odometer reading is just 8,948 miles. The owner advises that everything works as it should.

Chances to buy a Pinzgauer in Australia are very rare as there are so few in this country. Having spent around $15,000 ensuring this example is at its best, chances are there’s none better anywhere in this country.

This vehicle offers unlimited adventure and would be centre of attention at a Cars & Coffee event…

If you like the idea of the ultimate off-road vehicle – look no further, but act quickly.

2002 Porsche Boxster S – $27,500

Leave a reply

This car is the upgraded Boxster S model with a 3.2-litre engine. The S model also has several other upgrades including significantly, a 6-speed gearbox.

It was delivered new in Adelaide on February 28 2002. Finished in Arctic Silver with black leather upholstery (with perforated leather centre sections), factory options on this car included 18-inch alloy wheels and an upgraded sound system.

The service booklet shows regular servicing. Porsche Centre Perth did the last service at 109,581km, after the present owner had bought the car. As a weekend fun car, the car has seen minimal use – today showing just 112,300km.

In June 2021 a new soft top with glass rear window was fitted.

The owner notes the car has always been reliable.

These cars are a joy to drive, with smooth, torquey engines providing excellent performance and wonderful handling. This example is no exception, being a genuine pleasure to drive. Weighing 1300kg with 184kW (250 horsepower) the Boxster S is good for 0-100km/h in 5.8 seconds. They’re well-equipped, with fitments including power steering, power operated soft top, electrically adjustable seats and a pop-up rear spoiler.

Boxsters have to be among the best value sports cars today. Half the price of equivalent 911s, they offer a tremendous package at a very affordable price point.

FOR SALE: 1987 Bentley Turbo R – $29,000

Leave a reply

These are impressive cars. The Mulsanne Turbo model paved the way in bringing the Bentley marque to where it is today. The Turbo R brought more performance, equipment, refinement and desirability. Hand built and very expensive, 199 were made RHD in 1987. For that year the Turbo R gained more power – 328bhp – as well as anti-lock brakes.

This car was delivered in the UK – the strongest market for Bentley – and it then made its way to New South Wales and to the ownership of a lawyer who had the car for thirteen years.

He sold the car four years ago to the Western Australian owner who has it to today.

Since then a Head Up Display speedometer has been installed as has a reversing camera and a hands-free system for phone use.

The Turbo R has been maintained by a well-respected Bentley specialist. We can email you details of jobs completed. The car’s mileage today is 144,000, the owner having done about 10,000km in his four years.

It’s a smartly presented car, in a very attractive metallic dark blue finish. There are a few minor blemishes, in keeping for a car of its age.

Inside the Bentley is a truly luxurious environment, beautifully finished and well kept. Light coloured leather upholstery (with optional contrasting piping) complements the rich polished woodwork – which is in excellent condition.

There’s great driving pleasure on offer here, from a comfortable, smooth and ‘wafting’ driving experience to the wild side that 328 horsepower can offer – that’s more power than a Porsche 930 Turbo had in those days…

The owner will retain his number plates IRISH TWO and will have new standard plates fitted upon sale.

These are impressive cars, and although forty years old, offer ample performance and luxury with old world charm – at a very reasonable price.

1974 Citroën DS23 Safari – SOLD

Leave a reply

Citroën’s ground-breaking DS design was manufactured for two decades. It came out in 1955 when we were making new FJ Holdens in Australia.

The wagon version followed and remained in production to the end.

This car has the most desirable seating combination; separate front seats with folding rear seat plus two sideways mounted ‘strapontins’, folding single occasional seats, with footwells in the boot.

The adaptability, spaciousness and self-levelling suspension made a formidable package.

As the final version of Safari, this car has the 2.3-litre carburettored engine and 5-speed gearbox, power steering as well as turning headlights.

This car was sold new in Australia and its Australian Compliance plate bears the date December 1974, with the importer being Citco in Sydney.

Its early history is unknown, but the car moved to Queensland. It was purchased by Alec Howe who was well known as working with Jim Reddiex, owner of Maxim Motors, a separate importer of Citroën and extremely highly regarded as an importer, dealer and Citroën rally driver – he won the 1974 World Cup Rally in a DS23.

Howe purchased the Safari with a view to preparing it for a leisurely drive around Australia (not a rally). He selected this car as it was sound and completely rust free.

He kept a detailed log of work undertaken on the car (which goes with it). Included were: an engine rebuild, suspension work, steering rebuilt, new clutch, electrical work, new upholstery and a myriad of minor items attended to. A full list is in the description which can be emailed.

Clearly a tremendous amount of work was done, by someone with vast experience in DSs. Parts availability was, and still is excellent, with several specialist companies in Europe able to provide anything necessary for a DS.

Sadly Alec Howe passed away and the Safari became available. It had never done the drive around Australia.

A Western Australian enthusiast purchased the car and had it shipped across the country. The car was taken to Stuart Pekin, who runs a Citroën workshop in Perth specialising in classic models. He undertook work on the car as follows: Steering rack rebuilt, new spheres and accumulator, exhaust flexi pipe, various boots and window tint added as well as some minor items. Stuart assured the owner that this car would be the best Safari in Western Australia.

The car certainly drives nicely for a DS. It performs well, has the magic carpet soft ride and feels solid. All the controls feel as they should.

The exterior presents very well inside and out. The odometer shows just over 186,700km, which tallies as correct.

Less than ten percent of all DSs made over 20 years of production were the wagon. In 2026, they still attract attention wherever they go.

A Safari is a rare car today with its classic looks, comfort and drivability combined with tremendous practicality – a very rare combination. You’d be very hard pressed to find a better sorted example.

1999 Audi TT Turbo Coupe – $9990

Leave a reply

The TT was developed from a concept car which had wowed audiences at motor shows. Its ultra-modern, sculptured lines set a new precedent for sporting coupes and it received accolades around the globe.

This car is the 5-valve per cylinder turbocharged model.

Australian TTs were well equipped, with air conditioning, power windows, heat insulating glass and leather upholstery as standard equipment. Traction control, ABS brakes, electronic differential lock, and unusually, synchromesh on reverse gear, were signs of the high-tech specifications.

The service booklet confirms that the car was regularly serviced by Audi dealerships through to 2022 after which specialist workshops have continued the car’s regular maintenance. Most recently the car received a major service in December 2025.

At 161,000km, the car has covered about 10,000km in the last three years and has been 100 percent reliable, and the owner advises – always fun.

The rear hatch struts were weak and have been replaced, the centre console screen renewed and the car had its paintwork ceramic coated early this year.

The exterior is blemish-free, the silver paintwork showing the TTs dynamic styling well. All exterior trim is in fine condition, bar a couple of small kerb marks on wheels.

Inside, it’s the same story – clearly a well-kept car with nothing broken and everything functioning as it should – it all presents very nicely. And it’s a cracker to drive, with excellent performance and handling.

The TT has its original books, tools and jack as well as two keys.

This fine example of an early, iconic Audi TT offers great style, fun and affordability.

2003 Lotus Elise Sport 111 – $55,555

Leave a reply

This car is the fourth Elise the present owner has enjoyed over the years – and being a very rare, genuine Sport 111 – the best.

In the records with the car a letter from Lotus Cars describes its rarity:

19th out of 76 cars worldwide

5th out of 23 cars in Mirage Mica paintwork

4th out of 6 Sport 111 cars for Australia

1 of 2 Mirage Mica cars for Australia

The letter describes the specifications: “The Lotus Sport 111 was a track biased option based on the Elise 111 for export market. Some changes included: Lotus Sport 135R suspension, adjustable anti-roll bar, repositioned steering rack, 16-inch OZ wheels, T45 rollbar and back stays, lightweight untrimmed interior components, yellow Lotus Sport decals (and embroidery) and numbered plaque.” Special interior fitments were installed, but ensuring road use ability, air conditioning and a Kenwood sound system were fitted.

In previous hands, the Lotus has had some subtle upgrades too. It’s always had regular servicing, which included a new head gasket – addressing a common Elise issue – in 2013 and again in 2023.

The present owner bought the car in March 2023 and had it shipped from Melbourne to Perth. It came with black alloy wheels, but the owner preferred the standard Elise 6-spoke wheels in silver finish, so he bought a set. The car is to be sold with both sets of wheels.

Like every Elise, the car is an absolute joy to drive – being a Sport 111, adds to the factors that make these cars so revered by drivers and enthusiasts.

With the car are the removable, body coloured hardtop, plus black soft top. Also, there is a set of brochures for the Sport 111, two keys plus a Unikey, all the factory booklets in their Elise compendium, build certificate and even a Lotus flag. The odometer shows the car has covered just over 89,000km.

This is a very rare Elise, on steroids from the factory, making an exceptionally desirable, special car. Don’t miss this opportunity…
