1999 BMW Z3 2.8 Fiji Edition

1999 BMW Z3. At a Glance:

Rare Fiji Edition in Fiji Green with Picasso-Pattern Leather | Straight-Six Engine With Manual Gearbox | 8-Year Ownership

Hundreds more photos, videos, and details, here: 1999 BMW Z3 – Trade Classics

Auction ends 22nd October!

A wonderfully distinctive and rare example of BMW’s compact two-seat roadster, combining classic proportions, a characterful straight-six engine, and an unusually vibrant colour scheme and interior.

Introduced during the mid-1990s, the Z3 marked BMW’s return to the small, open sports-car market. Its long bonnet, low seating position, and short rear deck gave it the appearance of a traditional roadster, while rear-wheel drive and proven BMW mechanical components provided a suitably engaging driving experience.

This 1999 2.8 example is finished in the rare and striking Fiji Green, complemented by silver five-spoke alloy wheels and a black fabric hood. The unusual specification continues inside, where Picasso-patterned black leather is accompanied by contrasting green piping. We believe the Fiji Edition - one of BMW's curated "Spring and Autumn Collection" packages - to be exceptionally rare. It is reported to have come at a £7,500 premium to a standard Z3 when new.

Beneath the bonnet is one of BMW’s great naturally-aspirated straight-six engines, paired with a five-speed manual gearbox.

1951 Allard K2 - Four-Speed Moss Gearbox | Competition History

1951 Allard K2. At a Glance:

3.9-Litre Flathead V8 | Four-Speed Moss Gearbox | Competition History

Hundreds more photos, videos, and details, here: 1940 MG SA Saloon – Trade Classics

Auction ends 22nd October!

A rare and wonderfully purposeful example of the Anglo-American sports-car formula for which Allard was renowned.

Sydney Allard built his reputation by combining lightweight British chassis' with the effortless torque of large American engines. The resulting cars were immensely effective in competition, while remaining sufficiently usable for road driving, touring, and club events.

Introduced for the 1951 model year, the K2 was a more refined development of the earlier K1, and shared much of its engineering philosophy with Allard’s celebrated competition cars. Its divided front axle, coil-spring front suspension, lightweight open body, and characteristic cutaway doors produced a distinctive roadster with genuine competition potential.

Approximately 119 K2s are understood to have been produced during 1951 and 1952, making surviving examples a rare sight.

This 1951 example is finished in its factory-recorded Pacific Green, with a green interior, black tonneau cover, and silver-painted steel wheels. Its aged paint, exposed bonnet strap, and compact windscreen give it an appealing, competition-used appearance.

Supercar performance, striking looks, and genuine four-seater practicality.

Finished in striking Sakhir Orange Metallic, this 2014 BMW M6 Competition Gran Coupé seamlessly bridges the gap between supercar performance and four-door luxury. Its sweeping Gran Coupé silhouette is complemented by signature M division styling, giving the car a commanding road presence.

Under the bonnet, a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 delivers 575 bhp and 500 lb-ft of torque directly to the rear wheels via a seven-speed M-DCT dual-clutch transmission, launching the car from 0 to 62 mph in just over four seconds. Fitted with the optional Competition Package, which enhances the handling, styling, and performance.

Inside, the M6 features supportive M Sport seats made with high-end materials and stunning Sakhir leather, while providing generous seating for four adults. It delivers an ideal blend of track-bred capability and effortless long-distance comfort.

This stunning example comes to market with just ~12,914 miles on the clock, an excellent service history, and an options list that shows no expense was spared when it was ordered.

2005 BMW 330i Touring (E46)

2005 BMW 330i Touring (E46). At a Glance:

Long MOT | Solid, Smart Presentation Throughout | Recent Service | M Sport Trim | Recent Tyres

Hundreds more photos, videos, and details, here: 2005 BMW 330i Touring (E46) – Trade Classics

Auction ends 22nd October!

The E46 330i promises a great blend of daily refinement and weekend sports-car engagement.

The E46 generation of the BMW 3 Series - produced from 1997 through to 2006 - is widely regarded as the pinnacle of modern classic sports saloons, estates, and coupés. Engineered with a stiffer chassis than its predecessor and a near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, it delivered a driving experience defined by communicative steering, incredible poise, and supreme structural rigidity.

The range offered a body style for virtually every buyer, alongside the naturally aspirated inline-six engines that cemented BMW's reputation for mechanical excellence. Highlighted by the bulletproof reliability and smooth power delivery, the E46 struck an effortless balance between analogue driver engagement and everyday usability. Today, it remains one of BMW's most celebrated and commercially successful models, representing an era of timeless design and exceptional performance.

The E46 330i M Sport Touring seamlessly combines everyday practical utility with a pure, driver-focused chassis. Powered by the range-topping 3.0-litre M54B30 straight-six engine delivering 228 bhp, it pairs linear power delivery and a smooth exhaust note with the functional benefits of a 5-door estate body shell.

The M Sport specification elevates the package both visually and dynamically, featuring aggressive front and rear bumpers, sculpted side skirts, High-Gloss Shadowline window trim, and stiffer, lowered suspension that sharpens chassis dynamics without compromising long-distance usability. Inside, heavily bolstered sport seats, a thick-rimmed multi-function M steering wheel, and an Anthracite headlining create a refined, driver-oriented cabin. Because BMW never produced an official E46 M3 Touring, the 330i M Sport Touring remains the undisputed performance flagship of the estate lineup, prized by enthusiasts for its rare balance of everyday practicality, classic proportions, and engaging analogue feedback.

Finished in Black Sapphire Metallic over Light Beige full Montana leather, this 2005 example has had just four owners from new, an excellent service history, and has been in the care of a sympathetic BMW collector. Solid and smartly presented throughout, the car boasts a comprehensive factory M Sport specification while remaining highly original and unmodified.

It comes complete with three keys, full owners wallet, a recent service carried out in August 2026, and an MOT valid through to August 2027.

1940 MG SA Saloon

1940 MG SA Saloon. At a Glance:

Rare Pre-War Saloon | Earlier Restoration | Well Kept Example

Hundreds more photos, videos, and details, here: 1940 MG SA Saloon – Trade Classics

Auction ends 22nd October!

A handsome example of MG’s imposing pre-war sports saloon, combining elegant coachwork, a spacious leather-trimmed cabin and smooth six-cylinder power.

Introduced as the MG Two Litre in 1935, the model later became better known by its SA designation. It represented a considerable departure from the lightweight sports cars for which MG had become famous, taking the company into the more prestigious sporting-saloon market.

The SA subsequently formed part of the family now commonly known as the SVW range, alongside the smaller VA and larger WA. Only approximately 2,738 examples of the SA were produced across all body styles before production ended in 1939.

Early examples used a 2,288cc six-cylinder engine, with capacity increased to 2,322cc during 1937. Drive was through a four-speed manual gearbox, while centre-lock wire wheels and hydraulically operated drum brakes provided a comparatively advanced specification for the period.

This 1940 saloon is finished in a particularly attractive combination of light blue and deep blue, with matching blue leather upholstery, blue carpeting and extensive walnut trim. Its tall chrome grille, large headlamps, auxiliary lighting and rear-mounted spare wheel give it tremendous period presence.

Auction Ends 8th October.

Click here to see loads more photos and videos of this car: 1957 Land Rover Series 1 – Trade Classics

A particularly attractive and highly usable Land Rover Series I, combining the unmistakable appearance of an early 88-inch model with several carefully chosen mechanical upgrades.

The original Land Rover was introduced in 1948 as a simple, versatile four-wheel-drive utility vehicle. Its aluminium-alloy body panels, steel chassis and straightforward mechanical construction allowed it to operate in environments where conventional vehicles would struggle.

The short-wheelbase model evolved considerably during its first decade of production. Initially built with an 80-inch wheelbase, it progressed through the 86-inch version before the 88-inch model appeared during 1956. The Series I name was applied retrospectively following the arrival of the Series II in 1958.

Coming to market after ~7.5 years with our vendor, this 1957 example therefore comes from the final development of the original Land Rover design. It retains the compact dimensions, inset headlamps, flat body panels, upright grille and wonderfully functional interior associated with the earliest models.

During the 1990s, the Land Rover underwent a body-off restoration - its colour was changed as part of that work, resulting in the smart grey finish it wears today.

The restoration also included the installation of a 1967 Series IIA drivetrain. A later 2.25-litre petrol engine was fitted together with its associated gearbox and driveline including period correct Mann free wheeling hubs. An overdrive was also incorporated, making the vehicle better suited to longer journeys.

A beautifully balanced Porsche with timeless appeal, the 987 brings unmistakable character in one hugely engaging package.

The Porsche Boxster (987) represents a particularly appealing chapter in Porsche’s mid-engined sports-car story, combining timeless styling, sharp handling and everyday usability.

Introduced in 2004, the 987 brought a more mature and sophisticated design while retaining the compact dimensions and perfectly balanced mid-engine layout that made the Boxster such a success.

With its distinctive Porsche styling, mid-engined balance and engaging driving character, the 987 continues to demonstrate why the Boxster has become such an important part of Porsche’s sports-car heritage.

This example comes to market from its original owner and is enhanced with its optional extras, including; a Metropole Blue fabric hood, partial leather interior with heated front seats, Boxster alloy wheels with colour-coded centre caps, rear parking assist and stainless-steel tailpipes.

Today, the 987 sits in a great position as a modern classic, retaining the qualities valued by many while offering enough refinement to remain an enjoyable and usable sports car. With the same owner from new, servicing completed fewer than ~1,000 miles ago and low mileage to boast, this is something a little special.

The legendary classic, evolved for modern roads.

The classic Mini was born out of the post-Suez crisis necessity to create an ultra-efficient, affordable motor car. It ultimately revolutionised automotive design, transforming into a globally beloved cultural icon and motorsport giant that defined the British road landscape throughout the 1960s and 70s. By the late 80s, the model was successfully repositioned as a retro fashion statement, complete with the revival of the iconic Cooper name and a variety of evocative special editions.

Faced with tightening European emissions and safety regulations, many assumed the classic Mini’s days were numbered. Instead, in late 1996, Rover launched its final and most refined evolution: the Multi-Point Injection (MPi) Mini. The legendary A-Series engine was modernised with electronic fuel injection, an updated engine management unit, and a front-mounted radiator with an electric cooling fan. Crucially, driver safety was upgraded to include a steering wheel airbag, side-impact door bars, and seatbelt pretensioners, while a taller final-drive ratio made high-speed cruising significantly quieter and more relaxed.

By the end of production, especially when specified with the muscular, wide-arched Sportspack option, the Mini had fully embraced its luxury role, boasting plush leather upholstery, turned-aluminium dashboards, and classic chrome gauges.

Coming from over ~15 years with our vendor, this cleanly presented 1999 Rover Mini Cooper Sportpack is finished in 'Tahiti Blue' with a cream leather interior. Showing just ~36,976 miles, it has undergone a recent cosmetic revamp and was serviced just 70 miles ago. After eight years in long-term storage, the car will require an MOT, though its healthy mechanical and structural condition should give confidence in a successful test. It is offered with two keys, an owner's pack, a comprehensive history file dating back to 2005, and a box full of spare parts.

Click here to see loads more photos and videos of this car: 1994 Volkswagen Corrado VR6 – Trade Classics

A modern classic with serious character, combining Volkswagen’s iconic VR6 engine with distinctive 1990s styling and engaging front-wheel-drive performance.

Introduced in 1988, the Volkswagen Corrado was developed as a more sporting and driver-focused alternative to the company’s established Scirocco. Built by Volkswagen’s performance-oriented Karmann division, the Corrado combined distinctive coupe styling with sophisticated engineering and a more focused driving character, quickly earning a strong reputation among enthusiasts.

The VR6-powered Corrado arrived in 1991, bringing Volkswagen’s innovative narrow-angle six-cylinder engine to the model. With its compact layout allowing six cylinders to be packaged into a relatively small engine bay, the VR6 delivered a distinctive soundtrack and smooth, muscular performance. Combined with the Corrado’s sharp handling, compact dimensions and unmistakable styling, the VR6 became the flagship of the range and remains one of Volkswagen’s most celebrated performance cars.

Today, the Corrado VR6 has become an increasingly appreciated modern classic, particularly as examples with genuine long-term ownership and a well-documented history become harder to find. Its combination of six-cylinder character, understated styling and usable everyday practicality gives it a strong appeal as both an enthusiast’s car and a distinctive 1990s classic. This example comes from almost 4.5 years with our vendor, who's father owned it since 2001.

An exceptionally elegant example of Jaguar’s celebrated Series III luxury saloon, presented in metallic gold with a tan leather and walnut interior.

The original Jaguar XJ arrived in 1968, with the extensively revised Series III introduced in 1979. Developed with input from Pininfarina, the later model featured a subtly raised roofline, revised glass, new bumpers and a more contemporary interpretation of the familiar Jaguar grille.

By 1985, the Series III had been refined into a particularly accomplished luxury saloon. The Sovereign specification brought a suitably generous level of equipment, while the combination of fluid styling, a beautifully appointed cabin and the long-serving XK straight-six created a car with a distinctly British character.

Coming to market after just over 11 years with our vendor this example is powered by Jaguar’s fuel-injected 4,235cc XK straight-six, coupled to a three-speed automatic gearbox.

Finished in a handsome metallic gold, the Jaguar is complemented by its traditional tan leather interior, polished walnut veneer and factory-style alloy wheels. A previous body restoration has helped preserve its elegant appearance, with accompanying photographs showing stages of the preparation and refinishing work.

1960 Kieft Formula Junior

Chassis 1/1 | Class Winner | FIA HTP Valid Until 2029

Auction Ends 8th October.

Click here to see loads more photos (and listen to the race car noise in the videos!) of this car: 1960 Kieft Formula Junior – Trade Classics

A fascinating and extremely rare, rear-engined Formula Junior with period competition history, a comprehensive rebuild, and successful historic racing appearances under its current ownership.

Formula Junior was conceived by Italian racer and motoring journalist Count Giovanni Lurani as an affordable route into single-seater competition. Using production-based engines and mechanical components, the category quickly developed into an important training ground for aspiring drivers and constructors, receiving international recognition from the FIA in 1959.

By this point, the Kieft name was already well established in British motor racing. Earlier Kieft competition cars had been driven by figures including Stirling Moss, while Don Parker enjoyed considerable success in the marque’s 500cc Formula 3 machinery.

The Formula Junior was developed after Lionel Mayman and John Turvey acquired the Kieft name in 1960. Designed by Ron Timmins, it followed the increasingly popular rear-engined layout and combined an exceptionally compact tubular spaceframe with lightweight bodywork and production-based mechanical components.

Period Kieft Formula Juniors were generally powered by derivatives of the Ford 105E overhead-valve engine, driving through a modified Renault transaxle. The model also employed independent suspension and all-round drum brakes, with an aluminium body helping to keep weight to a minimum.

The precise number completed remains the subject of some discussion. Lionel Mayman later recalled that five cars were completed in addition to the prototype, although further frames and components are also understood to have existed. Whatever the exact figure, the Kieft Formula Junior remains an exceptionally uncommon sight in historic competition.

The model demonstrated considerable promise. Peter Arundell drove Kieft Formula Juniors during a Silverstone press introduction in 1961, while John Rhodes subsequently recorded a victory at Mallory Park.

This particular car carries chassis plate 1/1 and is understood to have raced in the UK for approximately four years during the early part of its life. It travelled to America in 1964, where it was involved in an accident in 1968. It was imported in 2015 before being completely rebuilt in 2017, and successfully campaigned in the UK by the vendor since then.

A true classic British sports car, the MG offers timeless styling, open-top motoring and plenty of character.

Perhaps one of the most iconic British sports cars ever produced, the MGB has become a true motoring legend – simple, engaging and built for the sheer enjoyment of driving. With excellent parts availability and a strong enthusiast following, it remains an incredibly rewarding classic, particularly when enjoyed on a winding B-road with the roof down.

This particular example is a real joy behind the wheel, offering the kind of connected driving experience that modern cars can struggle to replicate. There is something wonderfully engaging about being so involved in the experience, while the MGB’s characterful styling never fails to attract smiles and waves wherever it goes.

First registered in 1973, this example is beautifully presented in Riviera Ice Blue and has undergone a comprehensive bare-metal restoration between 2018 and 2023. The interior and remaining works were completed in 2023, with the car subsequently dry stored and covering fewer than ~1,500 miles since.

It benefits from a bespoke mohair hood, rebuilt HS4 SU carburettors and fully working overdrive, while an extensive history file includes photographs and invoices documenting the restoration. A full service was also completed in September 2025.

A fine example of the enduring charm of British open-top motoring, this MGB offers classic styling, straightforward mechanicals and an engaging driving experience in a beautifully restored package.

Auction ends 1st October

A superb example of the Alvis TD21, combining handsome Park Ward drophead coachwork with a matching-numbers straight-six engine and several desirable later-model upgrades. A rare opportunity to acquire one of the finest hand-built cars ever produced in the UK.

Introduced in the late 1950s, the TD21 represented a refined development of Alvis’s established, refined three-litre grand tourer. Its body was based on a design by Swiss coachbuilder Graber and constructed in Britain by Park Ward, creating an understated alternative to the more familiar luxury cars of the period. The Alvis TD 21 was widely regarded as one of the best-built vehicles of its time. Renowned for their independent engineering talent and history in aviation engine manufacturing, Alvis applied that technical expertise to create some of the smoothest powerplants ever produced.

Only 784 TD21s were produced, of which 192 received Drophead Coupe coachwork. The model combined traditional hand-built quality with a 2,993cc straight-six engine producing approximately 115BHP.

This 1961 Series I example is finished in the rich Alvis Peony Red with a cream leather interior, contrasting red piping, burgundy carpeting and a tan folding hood. Polished wire wheels and extensive chrome detailing complete its elegant period appearance.

The chassis plate supports the car’s matching-numbers status, with corresponding chassis and engine numbers.

A comprehensive restoration was carried out during the late 1980s. As part of that work, the car was upgraded with a five-speed ZF manual gearbox and front disc brakes; features associated with later developments of the TD21 and particularly beneficial for modern touring.

A superb example of Maserati’s elegant four-seat grand tourer, presenting remarkably well throughout and accompanied by invoices documenting regular servicing and recent maintenance.

Designed by Pininfarina, the GranTurismo combined the flowing proportions of an Italian sports car with the comfort, refinement and genuine passenger space expected from a long-distance GT. The GranTurismo S added a larger 4.7-litre V8, delivering both stronger performance and an unmistakable exhaust note.

This 2011 GranTurismo S is equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission, allowing it to provide relaxed progress when touring while still giving the driver manual control through the substantial steering-wheel paddles.

Finished in a deep metallic blue with a contrasting cream leather interior, the car has a particularly sophisticated specification. The cabin also features a wood-and-leather steering wheel, blue-faced instruments, dark carpeting and extensive leather trim. The private plate currently on the car is not included in the sale, it will revert to its original plate.

Auction ends 1st October

A distinctive V8 grand tourer, blending striking styling and long-distance comfort - the 928 S is a hugely characterful classic with plenty of appeal.

The Porsche 928 S stands as one of the most distinctive cars Porsche produced during the early 1980s, offering a very different interpretation of the traditional sports car. Conceived as a high-speed grand tourer, the 928 was designed to combine Porsche performance with the comfort and refinement needed for long-distance journeys.

Being a project car there are considerations for restoration works. These range from some trim works to the exterior (some elements of which are included with the final sale), re-trimming to the interior, and electrical works such as the rev counter, radio, seat and mirror functions. The Porsche doesn't come with any paperwork and hasn't been on the road for several years as it was purchased as a non-runner.

The current owner has completed several projects on the 928, works here include; a check over of the cylinder compression, cam-belt and oil change, fuel tank clean and a fuel line flush. It has a new ignition coil, distributer, starter motor, fuel pump and the car now starts, runs and drives. The bodywork has had restoration completed around a ~year ago, with a glass out respray in its original WeinRot colour.

For anyone looking to experience one of Porsche’s most ambitious and distinctive cars, this one, with a little attention, could be a really compelling classic.

This listing was written from information supplied by Dom after meeting Philip the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
