First delivered and registered in Germany, it is finished in Carrera White with contrasting Carrera GT Silver wheels and is trimmed in Black leather and Red alcantara. The car spent its entire life in Germany until recently when it was imported into Monaco and is now indicating a modest 11,600kms. Not only is it the last of the Mezger engined Porsches, the GT3 RS is the only limited edition where each car is numbered, and the 4.0 RS will probably be the last manual "RS" variant to have rolled out of the Porsche factory. Estimate (£): 250,000 - 300,000 Read more. 1972 De Tomaso Pantera The car offered here is an early and restored 1972 example finished in the superb combination of two-tone grey and black paintwork with a black leather interior. This Pantera was comprehensively restored approximately 10 years ago and there are bills and receipts in the history file totalling $50,000. Following our inspections, we can confirm the bodywork is presented in very good condition with excellent paintwork and shut lines. The interior is delightfully original and is presented in lovely re-trimmed order. Supplied with a UK V5C registration, current MoT certificate and aforementioned bills and photographs of the restoration, this example represents superb value. Estimate (£): 80,000 - 100,000 Read more. 1950 Land Rover Series I Station Wagon Coachwork by Tickford This Land Rover Series I is not only one of the last true survivors of a historically important motor car, but also recognised as an early prototype of the Range Rover. Just 650 were built in three years making this Tickford virtually unique and certainly one of the last surviving road going examples. Sympathetically restored in the 1980s, and with further restoration between 2004 and 2006, this example presents today in good overall condition, showing 51,493 miles.  Estimate (£): 35,000 - 40,000 Read more. 1973 Ford Capri RS 3100 Finished in Sebring Red, this RS 3100 is one of just 248 examples built and is in sparkling show condition. With so few of these cars remaining this is undoubtedly a very rare car. Restored some years ago and returned to factory specification, this Capri has been lightly used and carefully stored it in a 'Carcoon', with a current mileage of 85,000 miles. Estimate (£): 40,000 - 45,000 Read more. 1971 Volvo P1800 E Probably the best Volvo P1800 E in the country. With only 60 examples registered with the DVLA, this right-hand drive example is an exceptionally rare car, and even more so in this outstanding condition. It is also thought to be the last UK car in its originally specified gold colour, and has been systematically restored and maintained by a devoted previous owner and currently shows 53,323 miles. Estimate (£): 28,000 - 32,000 Read more. 1970 Triumph Stag 'LD6' This LD6 is one of a small and unique group of cars of importance in Triumph history, making it incredibly rare and sought-after. Produced on the 26th March 1970, this Stag is a pre-production model that has been fully restored with its original features preserved. Amazingly it still wears its original Coventry plate of RVC 427H, is in excellent condition and is said to drive superbly.  Estimate (£): 15,000 - 18,000 Read more.
