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.

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.

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

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.

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

2002 Porsche Boxster - only 37k miles on the clock - seller-created auction

2002 Porsche Boxster. At a Glance:

Low Mileage Example | Presents Exceptionally Well | Market Auction - Seller Created Auction

See more photos and details on the listing: 2002 Porsche Boxster – Trade Classics

Auction ends 22nd October!

The car goes very well and has a large history. The car has sat-nav, (Apple i-play), hands free phone connection, parking buzzers all round, reverse camera, and spare wheel in front in a cover.

Age is against me now as I am nearly 82 years young: I bought the car over a year ago and I am now finding it difficult to get out.

I have always wanted a convertible after owning two previous models of 911 Carrera and Cayman but my age is now catching up with me. The car was put through its MOT last September and had suspension bushes replaced - although it was not a failure issue.
