911 HEAVEN AT CCA SALE AS A WONDERFUL SELECTION OF PORSCHES COME TO AUCTION

1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa

A wonderful selection of Porsche 911s from the 1980 heydays are to feature in the Classic Car Auction sale on the 3rd August, with Targas, Cabriolets and a Carrera G50.

The 1980s iconic car was the Porsche 911 with the large rear spoiler know as a Whale Tail and came to symbolise wealth and success. Some would say that this shape is the best and most sought after.

CCA have four wonderful examples coming to auction on the 3rd August at the Warwickshire Event Centre. Leading the selection is a 1986 Carrera 3.2 with the G50 manual transmission. This is a fabulous car with just two owners from new and a warranted 64,000 miles. Estimated at £50,000 to £60,000 this is a real time warp car supplied new by AFN Porsche in Guildford and recently recommissioned, it comes with a large history file and original keys.

Guy Lees-Milne of Classic Car Auctions commented: “This is a superb 911 and scores very highly in our condition report. It offers everything you could want from a 911, coming with the rare and desirable G50 transmission, finished in the preferred Guards Red, low ownership, what more could you want. A stunning car.”

Two years on we have a 1988 Carrera Targa in Ivory White which has been in the same ownership for the last ten years and is a lovely example of a 911. A UK supplied car with 99,500 miles and a detailed history, this car also won the East Midlands Concours in 1998 for Porsche Club GB. Estimated at £28,000 to £32,000.

If we take a step back to the late 1970s on offer is a 1978 SC Targa. Having just come out of long storage this is a 911 with lots of potential. A left-hand drive car finished in Minerva Blue and with the optional Whale Tail, it was imported from Holland in 1986 and been with the current owner for the last 23 years. With 91,000 miles on the clock and estimated at £20,000 to £25,000 this particular 911 offers a great opportunity to own an exciting car and take it to the next level.

Our final 911 from our sale selection is a beautifully restored 1984 Sport Cabriolet with a Porsche Certificate of authenticity. In 2016 the car underwent bodywork restoration including the inner and outer sills, undersealed a is finished off in Gold with a brown piped interior. Although the car is of a higher mileage, it has had top end engine rebuild only 20,000 miles ago. A lovely looking car with a large history file and estimated at £28,000 to £32,000.

Gary Dunne, Classic Car Auctions auction manager commented: “Again we have a superb selection of Porsches in our sale. These 911s we have highlighted offer a great opportunity into owning a Porsche. We work closely with the Porsche Club GB and often the members choose to sell their cars via us.”

“With other Porsche models in the sale from the 924, 928, 944 and Boxsters, there will be plenty of choice for fans of the marque.”

 1964 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL (W113

As the closing date passed, Classic Car Auctions are delighted to announce a full house of cars, with 151 lots going under the hammer at the Warwickshire Event Centre on the 25th May.

Among the superb lots, which include a number of celebrity cars from Rowan Atkinson’s Mercedes 500 E, to a lovely 1969 Alfa Romeo Duetto Boat-Tail Spider, once owned by John Squires of the Stone Roses. He was the first owner who imported the car and since arriving in the UK in 2001, it was then restored to a very high standard, with a comprehensive history file of the work undertaken and invoices to John Squires. Now finished in period grey with a burgundy leather interior it is being offered for an estimated £26,000 to £30,000.

Gary Dunne, Classic Car Auctions sales manager commented: “We are absolutely delighted that Rowan Atkinson CBE has chosen Classic Car Auctions to sell his Mercedes. We are often asked to sell cars on behalf or directly for well-known individuals. This is a special car for him and offered at No Reserve. It has created a lot of interest, as all of his cars usually do.”

“We also have a couple of other cars with interesting celebrity connections such as the lovely Alfa and also two cars from Harry Metcalfe of Harry’s Garage.”

If you are after a two-seater for the summer and maybe something a bit more modern, a 1999 BMW Z3M Roadster is being offered in a stunning colour combination of Estoril Blue with a blue and silver Nappa interior. With just one owner from new and only 6,000 miles on the clock and 15 miles travelled since its last major service, this car is one for the discerning collector. Estimated at £28,000 to £32,000.

A really wonderful classic is this 1964 Mercedes 230 SL ‘Pagoda’, which has been in family ownership for the last 43 years and dry stored from 1976 to 2004. Presented in light red with a black Pagoda hard top, this car has been maintained rather than restored, with around £22,000 spent in recent years. The current vendor who is a member of the same family and has used the car since is now offering it for sale estimated at £38,000 to £44,000.

And for a true classic, a 1971 Porsche 911 T. Imported from Orlando, Florida in 2016 with an indicated 17,700 miles. This car has been fully restored over the last three years, repainted in Sepia Brown and has been fitted with the larger capacity 2.7-litre engine. It has a full UK history, but nothing from its time in the USA, making this car great value at £50,000 to £60,000.

Gary Dunne commented further: “This 1970s Porsche 911T is the car of my childhood and great looking Porsche. Alongside the BMW Z3M, we also have a pair of BMW M3s, one each from a different decade.”

“With 151 cars consigned and a valuation of around £2,000,000, we are looking forward to a great auction with full restoration projects to genuine and original examples being offered at the Warwickshire Event Centre on the 25th May.”
