1967 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350
This 1967 Shelby Mustang GT350 is finished in Acapulco Blue with
white Le Mans stripes and was built on 5th May 1967. The car was
imported to the UK in 1998 and was purchased by the current owner in
2004.
A substantial two-year restoration was then carried out by the
vendor. Along with extensive body work the engine was replaced with a
rebuilt and period correct Ford 289 hi-po engine, mated to a newly
refurbished 4-speed top loader gearbox while the interior is largely
original.
Original GT350s rarely come onto the open market and this car
represents an exciting opportunity for any lover of the iconic Mustang.

1960 Steyr Puch 500
One of only 33 right-hand drive models produced, this example is
believed to be one of only two cars to remain, with the other surviving
car residing in the Steyr Puch museum in Austria.
'AEM 655' was first registered in the UK on October 21st 1960 to
Ryders of Liverpool as the original UK demonstration car. Incredibly,
the original delivery note from the factory to Ryders in 1960 is
included with this lot. Purchased by the current vendor in 2013, the
previous owner from the Republic of Ireland had kept it in storage for
of 28 years. After years in storage this wonderful little car has been
brought back to the road, with fresh interior trim, new tyres and very
few other minor mechanical touches and is now offered for auction.
This stunningly unique 500 is an intricate piece of the Steyr/Fiat
family and is a fantastic opportunity for both Steyr and Fiat collectors
to acquire a special model.
Estimate (£): 15,000 - 18,000
