1962 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Roadster

This magnificent example of an early E-Type Roadster is beautifully presented following an extensive and detailed restoration.

With a 3.8-litre, twin-camshaft 6-cylinder motor giving 265 bhp, the E-Type had performance to match the fastest cars in the world.

This is a matching-numbers car supported by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate and telling us it was built on the 1st of January 1962 and delivered new via Jaguar Cars of New York. Early ownership history of this car is documented back to the 1970s with current service history by Classic and Sportscar Boutique of Norwood, Adelaide Classic Jaguar specialists.

With the car is the Australian Import Approval and also supporting documents from automotive engineers in Adelaide, Tonkin Consulting regarding the right-hand-drive conversion. No cutting or welding is necessary for a conversion of an E-Type.

The E-Type looks elegant in Old English White with chrome wire wheels, light tan leather interior and black soft top.

It is not hard to see that every element of the car has received detailed attention in the restoration process, and the car wants for nothing.

I have it on good authority that the car drives as well as it looks!

It is one of the earliest examples of this iconic model in Australia. The car is in South Australia and belongs to an owner I know, whose collection includes some very significant cars. To be sold in conjunction with a colleague in Adelaide.

1977 Citroen GS Pallas – SOLD

Citroen’s brilliant mid-size model came out in 1970, and featured the most aerodynamic shape on the market, an excellent air-cooled boxer engine, hydropneumatics suspension and all-round disc brakes. There was nothing like it and the GS immediately won World Car of the Year.

Spacious, comfortable and with great handling, the GS was a hit and sold well in Australia. This luxury Pallas version was sold new in Perth by Dependable Motors in Newcastle Street. It remained here for many years until sold to an enthusiast in Melbourne, looking for the best GS he could find. He entered the car in a concours, and it won its class. However, that wasn’t enough – and the car underwent a very comprehensive restoration over the next couple of years. Every aspect of the car was rebuilt, with many new parts imported to ensure the best result.

And the result was a multiple concours winning GS, with an array of awards to its name. The car comes with lots of documentation, history, a quantity of parts and its many trophies. It drives very well and the car’s presentation is very impressive throughout.

For less than the price of a base Corolla, a multi award-winning, rare and special classic Citroen… You’d be hard pressed to find a better example.

1994 Bentley Continental R – Reduced: $99,000

  • Rare, top of the range model
  • Low mileage
  • Good service history
  • Beautiful example

Bentley’s top of the range model in the 1990s was the Continental R – an exclusive grand touring coupe, hand-built by Mulliner Park Ward and featuring the turbocharged V8 engine. At the time, these were the most expensive car in the world. They were the fastest and most powerful Bentley model.

This fine example was delivered new by renowned dealership Jack Barclay in London and registered B7LTR. It is the updated model with twin airbags and the desirable “Cosworth” engine. It was finished in a non-standard colour of Georgian Silver with special order trim to customer specification and bespoke special order customisation.

The Bentley was completed on May 27 1994. A comprehensive compendium contains details of the car’s service history and confirms the low mileage.

The car was then bought by a West Australian enthusiast in March 2021, import approval granted and the car shipped. The Bentley went through the comprehensive engineering approval process with a Bentley specialist and was duly registered.

It drives beautifully, with ample performance and comfort – and is certainly a smart looking car. Everything operates well. The climate control air conditioning is cold, the leather and woodwork are excellent and the car presents very nicely throughout.

Just 544 of these exclusive Bentleys were built in right-hand-drive and only a small number exist in Australia – just two in WA at present.

Opportunities to buy a Continental R come up rarely in Australia, and this outstanding, low-mileage example would grace any garage with great style.

FOR SALE: 1951 MG TD 1250 – SOLD

The TD was the first post-war MG sports car which saw modernization of its pre-war design. As well as technical improvements, the TD boasted a more spacious cockpit than previous models.

With its overhead valve motor with twin carburettors, the MG TD 1250 was considered a spritely sports car in its day.

The earliest history of this car is not known, however the car had been with one Perth owner for more than 40 years – and the car was comprehensively restored not long before its long-term passed away. Following this, unfortunately, his wife threw away all the invoices of the restoration(!). But it is evident on inspection that every element of the car was restored, and to a high quality.

It spent the following decade in a collection, seldom being used and recently changed hands again.

It’s been through a comprehensive recommission by a Rolls-Royce-Bentley specialist company, with all necessary work done after its slumber. It has just passed a registration inspection, so a buyer can be confident it’s all good to go. It is presently on club license.

The pictures don’t show well enough how immaculate this car is throughout. The brightwork, trim, wet weather gear, internal and external hardware are all excellent and present impressively. It’s like a new car underneath.

1966 Alfa Romeo 1600 Giulia Sprint GT Veloce ‘Stepnose’ SOLD

The beautiful Alfa Romeo 105 coupe was immediately the darling of the cool car buyers when launched in the mid-1960s.

With specification including a lively twin-camshaft engine, 5-speed gearbox and disc brakes with gorgeous styling by Georgetto Giugaro at Bertone, the car was hard to resist. Today these cars are highly collectable and sought after by aficionados around the world.

This car was delivered new, by Paramotors in Perth and the first owner was a Mr Williams of Mt Lawley. The car always remained in Perth and by the 1990s was quite run down. The present owner bought the Alfa in 1996. He undertook a thorough restoration of the car, in which every element of the car was given attention – the result being a multi-award winner.

After a couple of years, the owner found he was using the car too infrequently and sold it. The new oner fitted a 2-litre motor. Unfortunately the car was damaged in Perth’s huge hailstorm of 2010 and repairs were begun, but not completed. The owner who’d previously restored the car bought it back and undertook a second restoration.

This took place from 2016 to 2020. The repaired bodywork was repainted, a new interior (from Alfaholics) was sourced, the gearbox rebuilt and a correct year 1600cc engine bought, completely rebuilt and fitted. Many parts specific to this model were sourced from overseas.

It is very evident from a close look that the car has been conscientiously restored and to a high standard. It has been to some club displays and on a few club runs when it’s performed faultlessly.

However the owner has found again that he’s making too little use of the car – he has several others… So it’s time to let it go to another enthusiast who will get more use and enjoyment out of the car.

With today’s restoration costs so high and lengthy waiting lists, this Alfa offers a ready-to-enjoy stylish classic which is a joy to drive and an absolute beauty to admire.

The plates UGT 105 will be retained by the owner.

1934 Singer Le Mans – SOLD

This classic pre-war British sports car comes from great provenance with Singer having had racing success. Featuring advanced overhead camshaft motor, hydraulic brakes and friction dampers and remote gear selection in a low-slung chassis with light weight bodywork.

These cars excelled in motorsport and in fact was the only model of car ever to win a gold medal in the Olympic Games, in 1936. A Singer Le Mans also won the Australian Grand Prix in 1934, held at Phillip Island.

This car was in Sydney until the late 1990s then sold to a Melbourne Singer expert who, from 2000 to 2009 meticulously restored it, scouring the world to ensure he could find the best available parts where necessary. Everything was restored with great attention to authenticity and to detail. Some $80,000, plus the owner’s time was expended on the restoration. It won several awards and was invited to be displayed at Motorclassica and in the RACV foyer.

A Western Australian bought the car in 2015 and it was used in a few shows and runs – with some minor work and upgrades done. The car changed hands in 2023 and the current owner has displayed and used the car on runs. It’s featured in some event publicity posters.

The car presents beautifully in all regards – even underneath – a testament to the high quality of its restoration. There’s a tonneau and soft top. It’s a usable and great fun prewar sports car ready to provide many more miles of joy.

Number plates 34 LEMANS will go with the car to a WA buyer, as well as lots of documentation and a small quantity of parts.

1987 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL – SOLD

The Mercedes W126 S-Class was a high point of quality – which came at a price. This 420SEL, was delivered new in Perth and cost the buyer $162,600. Equipped with a 4.2-litte V8 engine, leather upholstery, steel sunroof, power seats and much more, it was a well-equipped car.

A previous owner fitted a set of 17-inch AMG Monoblock style alloy wheels. It wears Michelin Pilot Sport tyres.

The present owner bought the car in 2019 and has had work done to it by a specialist company and has also fitted a very much upgraded sound system at a cost of $4500.

Inside and out the car presents very well, and has covered a mileage of 176,000km – quite low for this model. It drives very smoothly and has a sports exhaust accentuating the V8, but without being obnoxiously loud. The owner advises that everything works.

It is very realistically priced – and includes desirable plates XMB 420 for a WA buyer.

1990 Porsche 944 S2 – SOLD

Australian-delivered, 5-speed manual, sunroof, power steering, climate control, power seat adjustment, etc. Strong 3-litre engine. The subject of over $17,000 of work this year on a ‘fix anything you find’ instruction to a Porsche specialist to prepare the car for sale.

Two owners from new, current owner for the last 12 years. 226,000km. From driving the car, it is very evident that it drives beautifully. The engine is smooth and power delivery strong. It starts immediately. The sports exhaust gives a raspy noise, but not overtly loud. This model is famous for its legendary handling and roadholding.

With all the work that this car has benefitted from recently and from long term ownership, it is set to provide reliable service – and enjoyable driving – for many years to come. A lot of car for less than new Corolla money…

1935 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Touring Limousine – SOLD

Ordered at the end of 1934, this Rolls-Royce was delivered to coachbuilder Barker in London to receive Touring Limousine bodywork, with some special order instructions and delivered to its first owners in Scotland, in 1935.

They retained the elegant car for 22 years, and the following Scottish owner also kept it 22 years before it was shipped to Canada. Following many years of ownership there the car moved to New Zealand before finally coming to Western Australia. The current, 6th owner bought it locally and has enjoyed the car for the past eight years.

It has been notably reliable and in frequent use (which is beneficial to any older Rolls-Royce). This has included in displays and country runs, including to Lake Perkolilli, just beyond Kalgoorlie where it has participated in the event there – twice. The car runs smoothly and provides a comfortable and effortless drive as intended by its designers.

Remarkably, this car has never been restored. The paintwork is original and well worn, the ‘patina’ giving the car great character. With aluminium bodywork there’s no rust. The front seat has been reupholstered and the extensive polished woodwork refinished, but the remainder of the interior remains original. Occasional seats are fitted to the rear compartment and stow below the glass division.

The car has its original wheel covers, but the owner prefers the look of the wire wheels. The number plates 1935 RR will go with the car to a WA buyer.

This Rolls-Royce has clearly always been well maintained and thus has proven absolutely reliable for the owner.
