MIX WITH THE BEST
Collectors’ Cars:
1 1993 Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6
Influential European journalist, Paul Frere declared that the Porsche 911 Turbo offered “the finest blend of ultimate performance and refinement I have ever come across.” Available for 1993, this one year only model with its 3.6-litre motor had a production run of 1,437 units. Only 62 of these were built in RHD.
2 1957 Aston Martin DB2/4 MKII
August 2022 3 1974 Porsche 911S Targa 2.4
Aston Martin unveiled their Mark II upgrade of the DB2/4 at the London Motor Show in 1955. The most observable changes were the raised roofline with a chrome strip and the addition of tailfins. Worldwide the Aston Martin DB2/4 MKlls are now blue-chip collectibles. They are an even rarer sight on the New Zealand market and our client took note, with a fabulous result.
The 911S 2.4 was bettered only in performance terms by the legendary 2.7RS, and 1974 was the final year of non-impact bumpers and lightweight cars. Remaining in its original colour of Light Ivory, this Targa was one of roughly 40 produced in right-hand drive. The 911S derivatives are benchmark cars and, therefore, the most desirable of all the mainstream 911s, making this Porsche a serious collector’s item and one rarely seen on the roads.

Style and Substance: A Resilient Motorcycle Market
Despite global economic challenges, the market for collectible vehicles has proven exceptionally resilient. Webb’s recent Collectors’ Cars, Motorcycles & Automobilia auction achieved over $1 million in sales this May, with motorcycles particularly strong, fetching values comparable to those seen during the market peak of 2020-2021. Buyer interest remains vigorous, and collectors are increasingly active in acquiring vintage, pre-war, and modern classics.
Webb’s is proud to have played a significant role in this success, selling an impressive 30 of 31 motorcycles offered in our last four auctions—a remarkable sell-through rate exceeding 96%. We recently had the privilege of auctioning Chris North’s esteemed single-owner motorcycle collection, featuring a
diverse range of bikes at various stages of restoration, all of which sold, some achieving up to 230% above their lowest estimate.
Globally, specific trends are favouring classic motorcycles and collectors alike, with certain eras and brands experiencing notable surges. British motorcycles, once considered less fashionable, are now gaining renewed popularity and value. Models from Triumph, AJS, Matchless, and Norton have seen increased success at auction and greater recognition within the community.
Webb’s recent sales include noteworthy British examples expected to appreciate further in value, such as a pristine but storied 1956 AJS 7R race bike sold for $50,600 in May, and a c.1927 Norton 500cc achieving $28,175 in April 2023.
This August, we are offering six motorcycles of exceptional British pedigree, including four Ariel and two Matchless models, all from the immediate pre or post-war period, presenting excellent investment opportunities also likely to increase in value over the next decade.
Furthermore, amid concerns over inflation, motorcycles are increasingly viewed as dual-value assets—collectible vehicles and pieces of art. The enduring appeal of pre-war American motorcycles, notably Indian and Harley-Davidson, underscores this trend, with models like the Indian Four, Scout, and Harley J & JD seeing global value increases.
Icons of the 20s and 30s for style and austerity alike, Indian and Harley were the only two American motorcycle manufacturers to survive
Lot 25, 1928 Harley Davidson J est $45,000 — $50,000
the Great Depression. Both became known for embodying the excess, glamour and vigour of the roaring twenties while contrastingly also representing the durable frugality that delivered both companies and a nation through the market crash.
Webb’s recent auction of a 1928 Indian 401 fetched a substantial $132,250 after fees, and we anticipate offering two similar motorcycles in August 2024. Particularly noteworthy is the 1928 Harley Davidson J, an authentically restored example of an iconic pre-war American classic. Its historical significance, engineering excellence, and venerated design make it a triple-threat in collectability, poised to fetch increasing returns for any would-be winning bidder.
In a different vein, the 1936 Indian Scout Junior offered in August is certainly a barn find awaiting restoration, but represents a soughtafter model with potential for significant value to be etched—albeit with substantial work—out of its highly original condition.
The market eagerly embraces collectible motorcycles of all conditions, particularly favouring American and British origins, with a strong preference for those with pre-war heritage. Despite global economic challenges, enthusiasts’ fervour for motorcycles remains undiminished, and the auction trade stands as a testament to the defiant and remarkably robust nature of the collectors’ vehicle market.
Icons of style and austerity alike, Indian and Harley motorcycles earned a reputation for their design and performance in the 20s, yet still symbolised a durable frugality during the trying years of the 30s.
Scout Junior
For those who were there, the year 1963 will forever stand out in New Zealand’s history for the arrival of two very special guests: Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Spanning just under two weeks from February 6 to February 18, the muchanticipated Royal Tour may have been short, but it marked a pivotal moment in the relationship between the Crown and a little country in a far-flung corner of the Commonwealth—the brevity of the visit only adding to Royal fever that took hold of the country for its duration.
At its core, the visit was an exercise in reinforcing ties between New Zealand and the United Kingdom, coinciding with the 11 year anniversary of the Queen’s accession to the Throne, and also the one hundred and twenty-third anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. Arriving at the Bay of Islands in the Royal Yacht Britannia , the couple made their way down the east coast of the country, stopping in Auckland, Tauranga, Napier, Wellington, Nelson,
Spotlight On: The 1963 Royal Tour
Blenheim, Picton, Christchurch and Dunedin. At each stop they were joined by a vehicle you might recognise in this catalogue: a 1963 Rolls Royce Phantom V that was custom outfitted and imported into New Zealand specifically for the tour.
From the moment the royal entourage set foot on New Zealand soil—in time to attend commemorations at Waitangi—they were greeted with fervour. Crowds thronged the streets, waving flags and banners, eager to catch a glimpse of the Queen and her consort as they passed in their Crown vehicle. Notably, the Nelson stop left some local fans disappointed when the couple chose to leave the city in the enclosed Phantom (rather than an open top vehicle), affording them only the briefest glimpse. Never the less, the stop was still described by local media as “a day to remember”.
From formal receptions with dignitaries to intimate gatherings with local communities, the itinerary was meticulously planned to encompass
a wide spectrum of engagements. As is the case with royal tours even today, each event was carefully orchestrated to strike a balance in showcasing the pomp of royalty while also demonstrating the humility of service. This is not to say the tour was without its trials: crossing the Cook Strait the Royal couple was subjected to the full ferocity of Wellington weather, with winds of up to 50kmph.
Beyond its ceremonial aspects, the 1963 tour left an indelible legacy on the collective consciousness of New Zealanders. It galvanised national pride and reinforced the country’s place within the Commonwealth family. The tour’s cultural impact was profound, inspiring a renewed interest in heritage and tradition, and, most notably, symbolising continuity amidst a time of great change. In an era of evolving geopolitical landscapes and shifting alliances, the Royal Tour affirmed New Zealand’s allegiance to the Crown while embracing its role as an independent sovereign nation.

Welcome to our August Collectors’ Cars, Motorcycles & Automobilia catalogue.
Our first sale of 2024 performed very well considering the current economic climate. We saw a remarkable result for the 1993 Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6, selling for $462,000—one of the highest results we’ve ever seen at Webb’s. This model is one of the rarest Porsche models ever produced, being highly sought after and only produced for one year and it was just one of 62 in right-hand drive. Another popular car was the 1962 Jaguar E-Type Series I Fixed Head Coupé, which sold for $194,350 against a $145,000 estimate.
This August auction features nearly $3 million worth of collectible cars and bikes, comprising 23 cars, 8 bikes, and a selection of automobilia. This catalogue truly has no shortage of highlights. We’ve got a 1963 Rolls-Royce Phantom V, used during two momentous Royal New Zealand tours in 1963 and 1970. The other car from the same tour fleet is in the permanent collection of Southward Car Museum. Read more about the historic 1963 tour on page 14.
One of the rarest Mercedes you may never have heard of is the CLK DTM AMG, surpassing even the SLR McLaren and SLS AMG Black Series in rarity. Produced in limited numbers—just 100 coupes and 80 convertibles between 2004 and 2006—this car wouldn’t be out of place at a Pebble Beach auction. We are privileged to offer one of those 80 convertibles with just 8,000km on the clock, sure to have international appeal.

Not Marilyn Monroe, but The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh during a visit to housing developments in Porirua, 1963.
We are excited to have three Aston Martins in the sale, a broad offering from the heritage brand. This includes a beautifully restored 1977 AMV8, which we know will be highly prized among our clients; the last AMV8 Series III we offered was one of the most popular cars we’ve ever sold. Sitting alongside it will be a 1983 Lagonda, showcasing every inch of futuristic luxury; only 645 Lagondas were ever built. The Lagonda was the first production car to use a digital instrument panel, with the development cost for the electronics alone being four times the budget for the whole car! The third is a 2005 DB9, offering all the exceptional driving dynamics we expect from Aston Martin.
And last but not least, a 2000 Mini Cooper Sport Mk VII, a truly excellent collectors’ car. This Mini’s odometer shows an exceptionally low 6,956 km. As one of the ‘Last Minis,’ it can truly be considered a holy grail with considerable investment potential.
All of the wonderful vehicles showcased in this catalogue, along with numerous other special offerings, will be available for viewing starting from our launch event on Tuesday 6 August. We warmly invite you to join us, explore the collection in person, and experience the thrill of these remarkable machines.

Lot 1 1955 Triumph TR2
Engine: TS8328E
Chassis: TS7919
est $75,000 $90,000
Triumph’s prototype TR2 launched in March 1953 at the Geneva Motor Show, it was the culmination of an intensive design and development programme which Standard-Triumph had engaged in to develop a sports car capable of competing with MG and Jaguar. A couple of months later, the newcomer emphatically established its performance credentials when an overdrive-equipped example in touring trim ran at 114.9mph on the Jabbeke motorway in Belgium.
Built on a rigid X-braced chassis, the TR2 used the 1991cc Standard Vanguard-derived overhead-valve engine tuned for 90bhp at 4,800rpm. However, it dispensed with the saloon’s 3-speed column-change gearbox in favour of a 4-speed floor-shift. Suspension was independent at the front, with wishbones and coil springs. At the rear, there was a leaf-sprung live axle. Simply constructed, practical to own and offering 100mph-plus performance at a bargain price, the TR2 was an enormous success both at home and abroad. With 8,628 units manufactured between August 1953 and October 1955.
Presented here is an example of the final model year of TR2. Completed on 31 August 1955 and delivered new in New Zealand and registered on 16 December, it must have made a wonderful Christmas present for its first owner, Dale Court, scion of the famed Karangahape Road department store George Court.
Early registration papers accompany the vehicle, detailing its purchase on 5 November 1993 by the vendor. Thereafter the car underwent an extensive and photographed restoration, transforming it into its current state.
Retaining its formative Signal Red colour and Stone leather interior the vehicle comes complete with a full toolkit, red wire wheels, overdrive, fire extinguisher, heater and factory manuals along with some other relevant marque publications including a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate and Triumph car club Concours d’Elegance records.
This is a wonderful, well-documented and far-fromcommon example of the TR2 genus, comprehensively presented in a condition suitable for even the most discerning of collectors.
The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.
Lot 2 2000 Mini Cooper Sport Mk VII
Engine: 12A2EK71390597
Chassis: SAXXNNAYCYD179610
est $60,000 $70,000
The Mini, Britain’s beloved small car, had an impressive production run spanning over four decades. Throughout its existence, the Mini transcended its role as a practical vehicle and became a symbol of fashion, a champion in motorsports, and one of the most influential cars in the world.
Originally conceived as a fuel-efficient, easy-to-drive small car, Alec Issigonis’ masterpiece evolved over time until its production concluded on 4 October 2000. However, by the late 1990s, the Mini had shed its image as a cheap runabout. With the support of BMW, Rover re-engineered the design of the then 38-year-old car to create what is now known as ‘The Last Mini’ — the final version of the original two-door hatch, the ultimate classically styled iteration of the model and therefore a coveted collectors’ item.
The example is a New Zealand new, two-owner only, immaculate Mini Cooper Sport Mark VII. It is fitted with a 1.3-litre Rover A+ inline-four engine paired with 4-speed synchro manual gearbox. It also sports a burr walnut dash to go with the trimmings, a full length electric sunroof, Cooper S fog lights, factory fitted wide wheel arches and a chrome tailpipe. A further list of specifications is available on request.
The car is finished in a quintessential and perfect British Racing Green accented by an equally fitting Old English White stripe. For admirers of the original Mini its mere existence in such a colourway is a treat, but this
example couples that with a near perfectly low mileage to create a truly excellent collectors’ car. Indeed, this Mini’s odometer reads an exceptionally low 6,956kms.
As one might expect, the need for servicing and maintenance has consequently been low, though what has been completed — a service at 2,498kms — is documented. These papers are available alongside original brochures and a handbook, as well as some more memorabilia.
This then, is a cult classic in wholly immaculate condition with history to prove it. For model, marque, and car enthusiasts in general, this spectacular example of one of the ‘Last Mini’s’ can truly be considered a holy grail with considerable investment potential.
Lot 3 1952 Bentley Mk VI Drop Head Coupe
Engine: B309N
Chassis: B119NY
est $160,000 $200,000
Manufactured from 1946 to 1952, the Mark VI was the first post-war luxury car produced by Bentley. Initially powered by a 4.3-litre straight-six engine, it was upgraded in 1951 to a 4.6-litre version. In addition to selling complete cars with allsteel bodies, Bentley sought to distinguish itself by providing custom coachwork companies with chassis-only models for the creation of 2-door drop head coupes. Although Park Ward, Bentley’s associated company, typically handled such work, other prominent coachbuilders like Graber, Hodson, Windovers, and Abbott also produced vehicles based on Bentley chassis.
In Bernard L. King’s standard reference Bentley Motors On The Road, it is recorded that only 57 examples of Park Ward’s drop head coupe, design number 99, were built. These bodies were constructed from lightweight and corrosion-resistant aluminium panels. Chassis B119NY is one of these rare examples. In its day, it was not only the most expensive production car in the world but also the fastest 5-seater, capable of exceeding
100 mph. This example features a fully restored aluminium body, an overhauled engine, a new electric hood and lining, and all-new trim. Essentially, it lacks nothing, even boasting a recarpeted boot and a replaced exhaust. The original toolkit is still present, along with a reproduction handbook, workshop manual, and parts manual.
From a historical perspective, Webb’s research indicates that the car was first registered in Timaru, New Zealand, in November 1969, presumably after being imported from the United Kingdom. It was subsequently sold in 1996, then again in 2002 and 2008, before being acquired by the current owner in 2018.
For a future owner, acquiring a vehicle like this will be an enriching experience filled with enjoyment. This rare and beautiful collectible automobile represents a wonderful combination of Bentley engineering and Park Ward coachwork. The mileage is recorded as 71,845mi.
The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.
Lot 4 1984 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur
Engine: 14202
Chassis: SCAZN0003GCH14202
est $20,000 $30,000
The creation of the Silver Spur was largely based on the preceding Silver Shadow II — to which it bore a familial resemblance. Using the Shadow’s floor plan, the rear suspension was improved, and styling revised to include a lower waistline, increased glass area, a more angular look, rectangular headlights, and a wider and squarer radiator. Separate rear seats and the re-introduction of folding picnic tables were additional to the development of an improved interior. The long wheelbase ‘Spur’ was a major success for the company. By 1985, it enjoyed similar sales to that of the shorter Silver Spirit despite being 20% more expensive.
This 1984 example first came into the country in February 2000, having been imported from Japan. Suitable for limousine work as a result of its length, the Spur has been used as a wedding car for the past few years, and is now ready to be passed onto a caring owner who will appreciate its demure styling, elegance and great condition. The odometer currently reads just over 112,000miles. Carrying a COF, this example is offered alongside records of recent work carried out by marque expert Colin Gray of Colgray Motors to the effect of a full service and work on the brake pads and callipers. The famous ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’ mascot is in place free of blemishes. The rest of the car is likewise unsullied, and the interior is highly presentable.

Lot 5 1956 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud
Engine: S.B.38
Chassis: SYB76
est $50,000—$75,000
Described by many as the most elegant of all Rolls-Royces, the Silver Cloud enjoyed a decade-long production run, replacing the Silver Dawn in 1955. Built on an entirely new chassis, the Cloud featured independent front suspension and semielliptic rear springs, providing superb road-holding and driving characteristics.
Initially fitted with a 4.9-litre 6-cylinder engine, power was transmitted via a new 4-speed General Motors-derived automatic transmission. Despite the twin SU carburettors, there was no power steering. Renowned Rolls-Royce stylist John Polwhele Blatchley was largely responsible for the car’s timeless design. The interior received the customary high level of Rolls-Royce luxury, featuring Connolly leather upholstery, Wilton carpets, timber facia, and rear picnic tables. The Cloud was a commercial success for Rolls-Royce, achieving sales of 2,360 units.
This Silver Cloud is a Series 1B model, originally purchased in New Zealand by Stuart Hunter Naismith of St. Heliers, Auckland, through Dominion Motors Ltd. First registered on 9 July 1956, it was specified in two-tone Shell and Tudor Grey, with red hide and piping upholstery. Features included a home type rear number plate, triple extension aerial, high-frequency horns, oil bath air cleaner, Dunlop tyres, and a front bench seat with a centre armrest. It was later owned by NZ Drycleaners of Howe Street, Auckland.
Meticulously restored by the current vendor, this car is presented by Webb’s in excellent condition. Both the bodywork and paintwork have been re-conditioned superbly in cream and burgundy, while the interior’s smoked cherrywood and walnut panels and leather remain in good original condition. There are progress photographs documenting the restorative work. Recent servicing includes repairs to the front suspension and brakes, and a marque expert has remarked that the transmission operates smoothly—above average for the model. The car is well-documented with original factory paperwork. The odometer currently reads just under 65,000mi. In recent years, the car has been used as a wedding car and has been issued a Certificate of Fitness.
Seldom found in New Zealand, especially in this condition, this Silver Cloud represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored and sought-after classic Rolls-Royce.

Rolls-Royce Phantom
Lot
Lot 6 1963 Rolls-Royce Phantom V
Engine: A3PV
Chassis: 5VA5
est $175,000 $200,000
Introduced in the autumn of 1959, Rolls-Royce’s new 6230cc all-alloy V8 engine powered the Silver Cloud II and Bentley S2 sedans as well as the Rolls-Royce Phantom V. The new Phantom V long-wheelbase limousine effectively replaced both the Phantom IV and the Silver Wraith. The latter’s relatively short wheelbase made it difficult for coachbuilders to provide adequate trunk space in a comfortable sevenseater automobile. The Phantom addressed this shortcoming. Built on a much-modified and strengthened Cloud II chassis, employing the same 145” wheelbase as the IV, the new Phantom measured almost 20 feet in length, enabling coachbuilders to combine spacious interior accommodations with generous boot space and graceful lines. A lower final drive ratio ensured that top speed remained in excess of 100 mph, and the new Phantom could nearly match its stablemates for acceleration.
This Phantom V was built and outfitted by Rolls-Royce as a royal car before being imported into New Zealand and used in Queen Elizabeth II’s 1963 and 1970 tours of New Zealand. It was maintained most of its running life by Wally Presard on behalf of the Department of Internal Affairs.
The vendor’s family has owned this regal Phantom for 40 years. It was used throughout the ‘80s as a wedding car before being put into storage in the early ‘90s, where it remained for 30 years. In the last three years, it has been used as a wedding car again. Our vendor, an engineer by trade,
removed it from storage and carried out some remedial work to make it roadworthy again. It currently carries a COF and is presented in highly original condition.
The car remains in a state similar to when it carried Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, and Princess Anne while in the country and is an immensely well-documented piece of tangible royal and New Zealand history. Originally registered as 800.601. There is a wealth of archival evidence to support the car’s excellent provenance and numerous photographs and even newsreel footage that features the car during the tours, as illustrated on page 14.
This example is fitted with an elegant H.J Mulliner Park Ward body and is specified for the comforts of royal travel. Through the rear-hinged coach doors and into the spacious passenger compartment, within the wooden panels is an inbuilt drinks cabinet complete with silver goblets and decanters. Ashtrays are present in the armrests, the floor is fitted with folding footrests, and, supposedly at the Queen’s request, the floor is triple-carpeted. As a result of her dislike of leather, the seats are made of wool.
An excellent example of a post-war Rolls-Royce in its own right, this Phantom V lacks no elegance, engineering acumen, or history. It has lived an important professional life over its 83,167mi travelled and is now ready to be admired in its retirement by a marque enthusiast, history lover, or collector.

2012 Mazda RX8 Spirit R
Engine: 13B-560337
Chassis: SE3P-307991
est $40,000 $50,000
This RX-8 Spirit R is presented in Sparkling Black Mica and was manufactured in 2012 as a special edition model, produced in the final month of RX-8 production. It stands today as a fitting commemoration of Mazda’s iconic rotary engine sports car.
The Spirit R is the last of Mazda’s mass-production rotary engine vehicles. A limited number of 1,000 units were made, and these models are fast becoming sought-after future classics with values climbing globally. Initially intended for the Japanese domestic market only, a minuscule number were sold overseas, however this example was imported from Japan in 2021.
Mazda reworked several aspects of the Spirit R engine, including a higher pressure fuel pump, a larger radiator with faster fans for cooling, an upgraded cold air intake system with an added intake port, and a less restrictive exhaust system. A high output ignition system for improved performance and response was also added, along with a torque-vectoring limited slip differential and larger brake rotors with red callipers.
In Spirit R form, the Renesis II 6-Port 1.3-litre engine produces 232hp (173kW), propelling the vehicle to over 220 kmph and from 0-100 kmph in just over 6 seconds.
This automatic version features black leather seats with red stitching, heated front seats, a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with 2-position memory, and 18-inch lightweight BBS alloys on sports suspension. The odometer currently reads just under 68,000km.
Please note the personalised plate N01 does not come with the car. The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

Introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1989, the BMW 8-Series was designed to surpass the market of the earlier 6-Series with enhanced performance and superior design. Renowned for its advanced technology, powerful engine, and sleek appearance, the model quickly became an icon in the luxury grand touring market. It catered to discerning drivers by delivering driving dynamics and supreme comfort, providing an experience that is both exhilarating and refined, powered by a 300hp 5.0-litre V12 engine, designated as the M70B50.
Imported from Hong Kong and registered in New Zealand on 17 November 2000, the car presented by Webb’s was garaged from 2013 until being delivered to a local marque expert for re-commissioning early in 2024. Featuring an automatic transmission, which is preferable in this model, it has a current mileage of 97,841kms. The interior is in fine condition with a period cassette deck fitted. Finished in a timeless silver, this example is one of Munich’s best in a quintessential “sleeper” form, with plenty of life left to give.

Lot 9 2016 BMW Alpina B3 Biturbo
Engine: N55R30A
Chassis: WAPBF3000EAR20106
est $80,000 $90,000
Based on the BMW 3-series platform, the Alpina B3 Biturbo emerges as a distinguished union of luxury, performance and craftsmanship. Born of the years-long collaboration between the two legendary Bavarian outfits, this vehicle epitomises the essence of German engineering finesse and automotive artistry.
This B3 Biturbo commands attention with its sleek silhouette, which boasts the distinctive Alpina front fascia with its integrated spoiler and the iconic BMW grille. From these styling icons to the aerodynamics, every element serves a purpose in optimising the vehicle’s aesthetic and performance. Alpina’s renowned multi-spoke alloy wheels similarly not only enhance visual appeal but also contribute significantly to that effect, ensuring optimal traction and stability.
A potent 3.0-litre inline-six N55 engine is fitted to the car with twin turbochargers. This powerplant is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and delivers a substantial 404bhp. This power has resulted in impressive acceleration for a luxury saloon car; a spritely 0-100kmph in 4.2 seconds.
The fusion of BMW’s acclaimed chassis dynamics and Alpina’s bespoke tuning results in a driving experience that is both responsive and poised. The Alpina B3 Biturbo strikes a perfect balance between agility and comfort, with the vendor and the single previous owner both commenting on the rare dual combination of performance and luxury that this car offers.
This RHD B3 was first imported into New Zealand as a result of a cancelled order from Singapore, and was purchased from a dealer at just 450kms. Today the odometer reads near a minimal 18,000kms — an impressively low total which solidifies this Biturbo example as an excellent opportunity to own a practically new piece of performance tuning history.

Lot 10 1991 Buick Reatta Convertible
Engine: 900363
Chassis: 1G4EC33L6MB900363
est $20,000 $25,000
The 1988–91 Reatta was Buick’s assertion that luxury need not mean expense. Each car was hand-built at the dedicated Reatta Craft Centre in Lansing, Michigan, moving from station to station on computer-guided platforms, allowing workers additional time and care in assembly. Indeed, each car included a “Craftsman’s Log” detailing the build process.
Under the bold body designed by David McIntosh, the front-wheel-drive Reatta featured the powertrain of its sibling, the Riviera, including the smooth LN3 3.8-litre V6 with tunedport fuel injection and a counter-rotating balance shaft. Along with a 4T60 4-speed automatic transaxle, the Reatta was equipped with four-wheel independent suspension and fourwheel disc brakes with ABS. For 1990–91, the Reatta received a revised instrument panel and console that replaced the impressively early but problematic touchscreen of the 1988–89 cars with conventional controls. Convertible models with these improvements amounted to 1,519 produced in 1991, from a total of nearly 22,000 Reattas over the four-year production run.
This example was sold new in Florida and purchased by its New Zealand owner via eBay in 2004, eventually being registered here in January 2007. Our vendor then undertook a two-year conversion of the Reatta to right-hand drive and compliance, entrusting Auckland motoring engineer Cliff
Everson with the task. It is one of 163 convertibles produced in 1991, and furthermore, one of an incredibly low six models bearing the classic Claret colour, its conversion further adding to its uniqueness.
With a mileage of 183,000kms, automatic transmission and a 3.8-litre V6, the vehicle starts easily and runs well. A number of handbooks accompany it along with some spare parts. Needing the latter should not be a problem, however, as the car is listed on the US-based Reatta Register which produces a regular quality newsletter (copy available on request) should something be necessary. The light-coloured convertible top functions as it should, incorporating in the raised position a heated rear element.
This example of a far-from-common American sports car is in great condition. For those looking, the purchase of such a rare piece of Americana is an opportunity not to be missed, affording any prospective purchaser access to a passionate club, local events, and a fun, low-maintenance convertible.

In an effort to rejuvenate its brand in the 21st century, Jaguar released the second generation of the XK in 2005. Debuting at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the XK was styled to evoke the iconic E-Type with its curvaceous lines and oval-shaped grille. This allnew vehicle marked the introduction of Ian Callum’s new design language for Jaguar and proved highly successful, with 54,000 units sold. The XK was noted for its effortless performance and aluminium construction.
This particular example was sold new by Wellington marque dealers, Williams & Adams Ltd., located on Taranaki Street. The firm has a long history of selling luxury marques, beginning in the 1920s with the Singer brand. First registered on 30 March 2007, this car stands out for the extensive range of options selected, including a heated steering wheel finished in burr walnut, Connolly hide leather seats in soft ivory with 16-way adjustable settings, poplar wood veneer finish on the centre console and fascia, black convertible top, heated front windscreen, and Jaguar Premium Surround Sound.
An original sales receipt for $245,700 accompanies the car. Fitted with a 4.2-litre V8 engine and automatic transmission, and bearing 118,000kms, this example has had just two owners. It is accompanied by a service history. The Luna Gray paintwork is in excellent condition, the wheel rims are unmarked, new tyres have been recently fitted, and the electric top operates smoothly.

Lot 12 1986 Jaguar XJ-SC
Engine: 8544485HA
Chassis: SAFFAACW3CC134135
est $20,000 $25,000
Introduced at the 1975 Frankfurt Motor Show, the XJ-S ushered in a new generation of GT motoring for Jaguar, combining elegant styling, excellent performance and exceptional luxury. The model remained in production for the best part of two decades — testament to both the inherent quality of the design and its enduring popularity. Powered by the superbly refined and smoothly powerful 60-degree all-alloy V12 first seen in the ‘Series 3’ E-type, the XJ-S’s engine featured a single overhead camshaft per bank, fuel injection and developed 285bhp from 5.3-litres, providing effortless performance.
The XJ-S was one of only a handful of production cars capable of reaching the magic 150mph (250kmph) on sale at the time. Indeed, to go any faster one had to step up to expensive supercars like the Aston Martin Vantage or Porsche Turbo. In 1983 Jaguar further broadened the XJ-S’s appeal with two significant new models, the 3.6-litre six-cylinder and the opentopped SC.
The American market had been clamouring for a convertible XJ-S for some time with Jaguar initially engineering a compromise - with fixed side rails and a removable roof panel, the SC, though described as a cabriolet by Jaguar’s marketing department, offered a rare versatility.
Specified to a higher tune than their fixed-head counterparts, the XJ-SC’s bodyshell was actually converted
by the Park Sheet Metal Company in Coventry, then taken to Browns Lane for painting and, once the mechanicals and interior trim were installed, sent to Aston Martin’s Tickford Body Works for the roof and hood to be fitted.
Today the uncommon XJ-SC represents excellent value for money with most pundits agreeing prices can only increase — yet another reason to own such a cult classic.
This example when new was fitted with a TWR body-kit, including wheels and rear spoiler. The XJ-SC offered here was first sold by Jaguar dealer, Archibald & Shorter, Auckland. It was first registered on 19 October 1986. Finished in a Cranberry hue the car has been in the care of the same family for the past 25 years, and is fitted with the preferred automatic transmission. This particular Jaguar sports a graceful patina with a corresponding history, including receipts for work incurred — notably a re-built steering box and air-conditioning unit.
This example is a well-presented iteration, though presently the cruise control is out of action and headlamp washers immobile. Despite the foregoing and a mileage of 187,000kms the car wears its years well with that persona of space, grace and pace that only a Jaguar can deliver.

Originally hailed as the saviour of British grand touring cars upon its debut, the Aston Martin V8 has long been regarded as Britain’s inaugural supercar. Manufactured between 1969 and 1989, Aston Martin’s interpretation of American muscle was characterised by meticulous handcraftsmanship. Known simply as the AM V8, each car required 1,200 man-hours to complete and represented a significant addition to Aston Martin’s esteemed lineup.
This particular example, a Series III iteration, features distinctive design refinements from its predecessors, such as single headlights and a redesigned grille. Notable enhancements include four Weber twin-choke down-draught carburettors, a larger bonnet bulge to accommodate the carburettor airbox, a redesigned fuel tank for increased luggage space, and upgraded interior trim. Only 967 units of this model were ever produced. Under the bonnet, the 5340cc engine boasts four overhead camshafts delivering nearly 490Nm of torque at 4500rpm. It features aluminium heads and block, a forged molybdenum steel crankshaft, and a 9:1 compression ratio. The luxurious 4-seater is clad in aluminium alloy panels over a robust steel chassis, equipped with a 3-speed Chrysler automatic transmission and Girling ventilated disc brakes both front and rear.
The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.
This car’s documented history suggests it may have originated in the UK, with MOT documents dating from 1995 to 2008 detailing its mileage from 25,251 to 67,478. Originally registered as BLE 975S, it was subsequently sold to a museum in Hungary around 2009, where it was prominently displayed among James Bond-style vehicles, complete with road registration under ‘OT Garage Kf’ and a FIVA Identity Card for historic vehicles.
In 2012–13, Belgian collector Stephan Brebels acquired the car, storing it alongside his Aston Martins and investing in significant engine refurbishments documented by receipts from HWM Aston Martin and a mechanical services company in Deurne. Purchased by the current vendor in 2020, the car arrived in New Zealand in March 2021, where it underwent extensive inspection and restoration overseen by a marque expert, who meticulously supervised comprehensive repairs including
rear arches, sills, lower front wings, and a complete boot reconstruction, as well as removing under seal and Dynamat, the car also went through compliance.
Documented with over 100 photos, these meticulous efforts culminated in the car’s registration on March 22, 2023, at a cost exceeding six figures. Despite its mechanical soundness, further enhancements were made post-registration, totalling an estimated $30-40k, covering upgrades to the steering rack, shock absorbers, bushes, brakes, master cylinder, air conditioning, and tuning.
Since becoming roadworthy, the owner has enjoyed regular use of the car, including a memorable outing at the Hampton Downs circuit, where its reliability has shone through. With a current mileage of 72,000mi and regular local use, the car continues to be cherished for its rich history and exceptional craftsmanship.

est $650,000 $850,000
The CLK DTM AMG Cabriolet stands among the most exclusive and coveted modern Mercedes-Benz models, surpassing even the SLR McLaren and SLS AMG Black Series in rarity. Produced in limited numbers—just 100 coupes and 80 convertibles between 2004 and 2006—the majority were sold in Europe, with no official sales in the United States. Designed and built by the renowned racing department HWA AG to commemorate Mercedes-Benz’s win at the 2003 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) racing series, the CLK DTM was the pinnacle of AMG’s track-focused lineup, exceeding the later CLK63 AMG Black Series in performance enhancements.
Originally built on the platform of the ‘2nd Generation’ C209 CLK (Coupé Leicht Kurz — Coupé Light Short) that had been introduced in 2002. But whereas the DTM competition cars were limited by the regulations to a normally aspirated 4.0-litre V8 engine producing less than 500bhp, AMG’s road version came with a supercharged 5.4-litre V8 unit pumping out some 582bhp.
Other modifications to the CLK-Class platform included adjustable stiffened springs, a reinforced rear anti-roll bar, upgraded hub carriers, driveshafts, and metal joints replacing rubber bushings. It features a robust limited-slip differential, recalibrated traction and stability control, and large 14.2-inch front and 13.0-inch rear brake discs, the wheels are lightweight AMG alloys, with 19-inch on the front and 20-inch rears. The supercharged V8 was paired with a 5-speed AMG Speedshift automatic transmission, capable of a top speed of 322 kmph, weighing 1,742 kg, the CLK DTM AMG goes from 0–100 kmph in a mind-blowing 3.9 seconds.
Styling was modelled on the racing version used by AMG works driver Bernd Schneider to win the 2003 DTM championship. Its deep front apron, large air intake ducts, prominently flared wheelarches, boot-mounted rear wing and large-diameter alloy wheels are all elements developed from the DTM cars. All the 100 coupés built sold out immediately.
High-profile owners included Formula 1 drivers Jenson Button and Takuma Sato. A limited-edition run of 80 cabriolets followed a year later.
This particular is a left hand drive example is believed to have been delivered new in Germany in 2006, records indicate it was imported to New Zealand in 2011 at 5,843kms. Notably it was formerly in the possession of Megaupload CEO Kim Dotcom, known for his large car collection. This was one of three CLK DTM’s he owned, the other two being coupés. In 2012 the collection of CLK DTM’s was featured in a highly publicised track lap with Formula 1 driver Kimi Räikkönen at the famous Nürburgring Nordschleife, captured by an elaborate film crew, the video is widely available online. Whilst the coupés were slightly modified we believe this cabriolet is largely factory stock. The engine bears the Mercedes-AMG handcrafted engine plaque, the original tyres are still fitted and electric roof works well.
Finished in Iridium Silver Metallic paintwork with black leather interior, the car is detailed throughout with carbon fibre panels and finished with a red rear spoiler. This example hasn’t been road registered since 2012, but has been dry stored, connected to a trickle charger and service by local marque experts. Now with a miniscule 8,674kms on the odometer and its registration lapsed, this remains an exceptionally rare and desirable car among collectors of high-performance automobiles.

The 911 may have maintained a similar outward appearance for its first twenty-five years, but constant development beneath the surface ensured Porsche kept pace with its rivals. When the SC evolved into the Carrera 3.2 in 1984, the latest 911 benefited from a larger, more powerful engine (increasing horsepower by 30bhp to 231) featuring Bosch’s latest LE-Jetronic fuel injection and Motronic 2 DME engine management system.
Other updates included a power brake booster and larger discs. Externally, the Carrera sported a new front air dam with integrated fog light lamps and was available in both Targa and Cabriolet variants. Its top speed approached 250kmph, and it could accelerate from 0 to 100kmph in under 6 seconds, firmly placing it in supercar territory. Although the new 964 series introduced a 4WD version in 1988, Porsche continued production of the 2WD Carrera 2 chassis until 1989, with 2,787 Cabriolets built for all markets outside the US that year.
Any 911 is a timeless classic, and in Carrera 3.2 guise, it offers all the performance, practicality, and reliability one could need, packaged in the original 911 shape for the last time. Best of all, the Carrera 3.2 remains a genuine bargain,
widely recognised in classic car magazines as one of the most affordable 911s, although this may not be the case for much longer.
This specific 3.2 Carrera, sold new in the United Kingdom, is one of 3,529 made for the 1985 model year. It represents the first iteration of the “F” Series with a 10% shorter gear throw. Contrasting the Grand Prix White (908) body, the car’s black convertible top is complemented by a tan leather interior. LTSA records show the vehicle’s first local registration date as 22 May 1987. The speedometer reads approximately 149,000miles.
This is a stylish example of Porsche’s defining modern classic sports car, presented in excellent condition and attractively finished. Equipped with a powerful 3.2-litre flat-six engine and Type 915 gearbox, this open-top 911 would make a wonderful addition to any enthusiast’s collection and a highly engaging weekend companion. Our vendor purchased the car a year ago. Pre-purchase service records are available. The personalised plate ‘911 985’ will be included with the purchase.

This New Zealand-new exampled was first registered on 25 June 2020, our vendor is the second owner purchasing in August 2022. Full service history is with Bentley Auckland. The odometer currently displays 8,311kms. For those looking for the best of what the legendary Bentley has to offer, this 2020 Flying Spur is an excellent opportunity.
This particular Flying Spur belonged to Richard Izard CNZM OBE (1934–2024), a renowned industrialist and philanthropist.
The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.
Lot 19 2005 Aston Martin DB9
Engine: AM0410177
Chassis: SCFAC01A05GA01932
est $60,000 $70,000
Introduced in 2004, the Aston Martin DB9 was the first model to be produced at the then-new Gaydon, Warwickshire factory.
Based on the Aston ‘Vertical Horizontal’ platform, it utilised an aluminium-bonded frame and was designed from the outset to be a 2+2 coupe. Mounted within the sensuously styled body was a 5953cc, 450bhp V12 that ran the DB9 to a 300kmph top speed, matched to a transaxle-mounted (for better weight distribution) 6-speed manual (by Graziano) or automatic (by ZF) transmission. Of course, the interior was a luxurious delight, with fillets of aluminium hinting at sportiness and offsetting the usual full leather Aston trimmings. A delight to be seen in, as well as to drive, the DB9 has formed part of the backbone that has seen Aston Martin inculcate the sports car market and become the prestigious marque that it is today.
Finished in a striking blue with a light leather interior our car in question was locally delivered with initial registration effected on 14 April 2005. Such a presentation is indicative of
its current keeper’s passion for maintaining his vehicles to an extremely high standard. The deep bucket seats are unmarked as too similarly is the entire interior. Everything is functioning as it should, including the tyre sensors and the air conditioning. Mechanically, the V12 motor has of late been maintained by an independent North Shore shop proficient with the marque. The only work of note being a replacement battery. Odometer as shown is 61,000kms, transmission is automatic.
For anyone seeking to purchase an Aston, this noteworthy example boasting near unrivalled credentials should not be overlooked.

Lot 20 1970 Volvo P1800E
Engine: 42246
Chassis: 31428
est $70,000 $90,000
The Volvo P1800 was manufactured from 1961 to 1973, with styling by Pelle Petterson under the guidance of Pietro Frua, when Frua’s studio was a subsidiary of the Italian carrozzeria Ghia. The mechanicals were derived from Volvo’s Amazon/122 series. Marketed as a touring car rather than a sports car, the P1800 became widely known when driven by British actor Roger Moore in the television series The Saint, which aired from 1962 to 1969.
This model is the final edition of the P1800, the P1800E. The ‘E’ stands for Einspritzung, the German word for fuel injection, indicating its 2-litre fuel-injected engine. It features a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive and the B20E engine with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection and a revised camshaft, producing 130bhp without sacrificing fuel economy. The top speed was around 190kmph, and acceleration from 0–100kmph took 9.5 seconds. Additionally, the 1970 model was the first 1800 with four-wheel disc brakes; previous models had front discs and rear drums. In 1972, a lower compression B20F engine was introduced to meet emission standards, mainly for the US market. This involved changes to the ECU, manifold pressure sensor, and head gasket for all cars with the B20F engine. The P1800E is relatively rare, with
fewer than 3,000 units produced, and only a few equipped with overdrive.
This example was delivered new to Australia and imported to New Zealand, first registered here in December 2018. The previous owner upgraded it with power steering. The current owner purchased it in Auckland in 2022. At that time, the interior and exterior chrome were in poor condition. The current owner has since undertaken a restoration to bring it back to its former glory.
This highly desirable example is finished in green over tan, with the interior beautifully refitted with factory parts from Sweden. A new factory exhaust was added, along with rechromed brightwork, new rubbers, and an original set of 1970s period wheels sourced from the USA. The vendor notes that the car “runs very well and is free of rust,” and it now has 85,000mi on the odometer.
The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.
Lot 21 1950 Land Rover Series I 80’
Engine: 867851
Chassis: R06107570
est $70,000 $85,000
The Land Rover Series 1 80-inch is a significant vehicle in the history of the marque, being the first mass-produced fourwheel-drive vehicle manufactured by the British automaker. Introduced in 1948, it remained in production with minor refinements until 1958.
This iconic model was designed to be versatile and capable of handling a variety of terrains. Its robust chassis and lightweight aluminium body made it suitable for both onand off-road driving. The 80-inch nomenclature refers to its wheelbase of 80-inches (approximately two metres).
Powered by a 1.6-litre inline-four engine producing 50hp, it featured a 4-speed manual transmission and a 2-speed transfer case, allowing drivers to switch between high and low gears for better control in challenging conditions.
This particular vehicle was sold new in New Zealand and purchased by the current owner in 1992. Since then, an

extensive rebuild has been undertaken by a marque expert, using ‘new old stock’ parts. The restoration included:
• Gearbox and rear axles
• Engine
• Exmoor trim (imported from the UK)
• New tyres
• Wiring loom
• Restored gauges
• Wheel rims (date-stamped 1950)
The current owner, who has previously restored two Land Rovers, assures the quality of the work. This excellent example of one of Land Rover’s rarest models is now ready for continued use, whether off-road or on-road. It presents a wonderful opportunity for any Land Rover enthusiast.
Lot 22 1966 Dodge Charger
Engine: 2208386
Chassis: XP29E61216879
est $65,000 $75,000
A pioneering muscle car, the Dodge Charger was first introduced in 1966 as an upscaled opponent and direct competitor to the popular pony cars of the time. Designed by Carl Cameron, the car was unveiled on 1 January 1966 to viewers of an American college football game, alongside the slogan “Leader of the Dodge Rebellion,” marking the start of a legacy which would see Dodge play antagonist to Ford and Chevrolet for a lifetime.
This example, being of the very first model year, represents a poignant opportunity for investment in a motoring, American and muscle icon — particularly given Stellantis’ decision to make 2023 the final year of production for the long-running model.
The Charger for 1966 was set apart from other models of the era with a large and striking fastback, hidden headlights and a full width taillight. The roofline was distinctive and eye catching. Bucket seats were fitted front and rear, with a centre console the length of the seating area. Rear bucket seats, in an era given to benches, were a unique feature which could fold down to create a substantial cargo area.
This Charger is equipped with Chrysler’s 5.2-litre, or 318ci 2bbl A V8 engine with automatic transmission. It is a pristine example that Webb’s understands was sold new in California where it had one owner. Imported to New Zealand in 2021 it was initially Christchurch-based before being purchased by our Auckland-based vendor, who in the interest of comfort and practicality fitted disc brakes and booster up front, a new twin barrel carb, re-built the hideaway headlight motors and added new springs and shocks. The silver paint exudes freshness, and the interior is unmarked. Original wheels are not fitted, but accompany the vehicle along with the previously installed drum brakes. A number of USA receipts are available.
This Charger presents itself as an alternative to other more common examples of American classics and is in a truly wonderful condition, and has a highly desirable personalised plate. The current mileage sits just under 40,000mi.
Lot 23 1983 Aston Martin Lagonda
Engine: V/580/3222
Chassis: L00L 13222
est $150,000 $200,000
The Aston Martin Lagonda is a luxury four-door saloon built by Aston Martin at Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, between 1976 and 1989. A total of 645 examples were produced at an average selling price of £150,000. The name Lagonda was derived from the marque that Aston Martin had acquired in 1947.
Traditionally, Aston Martin had built two-door sports cars but the Lagonda was a four-door saloon utilising the 5430cc Tadek Merak-designed V8 engine that powered the then current Aston Martin V8 models. As soon as it was introduced, its dramatic looks attracted hundreds of deposits from potential customers and in so doing helped Aston Martin’s finances tremendously. The car was designed by William Towns in an extreme interpretation of the classic 1970’s “folded paper” style and was as unconventional a design then as it is today. With its unique styling cues, these hand-built Lagonda’s were among the most expensive saloons in the world with the only other ‘production’ cars approaching such a lofty price tag being either Rolls-Royces or Bentleys.
This example retains its factory specification Cannock Black paintwork complemented by an opulent black leather interior and carpet to match. The car was delivered new to its first owner in Paris in December 1982. Some time thereafter it
became part of a German Aston Martin enthusiast’s collection. It was there for a decade, and during this time Webb’s understands it was cared for by noted Lagonda specialist, Eric Schulte of Schulte Automobiltechnik, Frankfurt. Under his stewardship the electronics were thoroughly overhauled (the Lagonda was the first production car in the world to use computer management) as too was the suspension. A modern stereo system along with a fitted reversing camera has been installed with work on the air conditioning, water pump and radiator also undertaken. A Chrysler 3-speed TorqueFlite transmission is fitted, as are the correct Avon whitewall tyres. A file largely in German accompanies the vehicle as do original handbooks. A Swiss Lagonda treffen plaque is tastefully mounted on the inside of the drivers door as the car is left hand drive. Mileage currently sits around 80,000kms. Rare, and certain to turn heads this wonderful iteration from a famous marque is a must have for both collectors and those seeking to experience a completely hand-built car.
The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.
Lot 24 1936 Indian Scout Junior 500cc (Barn find)
Engine: ECF293
Frame: 536 293
est $15,000 $20,000
In the annals of motorcycle history the Indian Scout Junior is an icon of engineering and styling. Crafted during an era defined by pioneering innovation, Scout’s exemplify the pinnacle of the Indian Motorcycle Company’s artistry.
At auction houses worldwide these highly collectable motorcycles command attention and admiration, fetching high values no matter the condition. Undoubtedly concours and showroom quality examples are the most desirable, however the market continues to reward originality in whatever guise it is presented.
This example of a 1936 Scout Junior is a highly original, matching numbers example of a litreal barn find, and an excellent base for restoring one of the most sought after vintage motorcycles of all time. It was first recovered three years ago among a collection in Vermont, USA, having been owned by Bob Bearer, an avid motorcyclist and collector of Harley’s and Indians and while a non-starter, the engine does turn over. The vehicle will be sold unregistered and un-warranted. It does not start.
Lot 25 1928 Harley Davidson J 1000cc
Engine: 28J1716
Frame: 19921215
est $45,000 $50,000
Built in 61ci and 74ci capacities (1000cc “J” and 1200cc “JD” respectively) the Harley-Davidson 1928 J F-head twin gained an enviable reputation as an excellent motorcycle by the time its production ceased in 1929. It had been improved over its predecessors with a front brake, stronger fork and pumped lubrication. The J models dominated Harley’s offerings in 1928, and though variants were numerous the J was the most versatile, affordable and therefore common.
Costing just USD$310 it was modestly priced for what was an eminently modern machine. It is perhaps this value the J owes its popularity to, given the market crash and years of austerity to follow its 1928 release, in which a motorcycle with the rare combination of economy, performance, durability and style would surely be cherished.
This 61ci example was meticulously restored by Dave Anderson of DG Service, an expert commissioned by the vendor who acquired the machine 25 years ago. It was stored
for much of this period, with the restoration being embarked upon and concluded all within the space of mid-2024. The white paint exudes class but also communicates the cool, retro styling of the era through tasteful red and gold accents. It is in excellent condition alongside the rest of the bike, which has been fitted with several parts including a new tank. It is undoubtedly an immensely well-restored example of the model. An exhaustive list of work completed, and parts replaced is available on request. A rack, grease gun, and some minor spares will be included with purchase.
The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.
It’s Hip to Be Square
In the early 1930s, the concept of the ‘square four’ engine was explored, but it wasn’t until 1936 that Edward Turner, a renowned designer, perfected the 1,000cc ‘Squariel’ for Ariel, marking a significant entry into the large motorcycle market. This 4-cylinder engine, configured in a square formation with twin-camshafts, delivered impressive performance with its 997cc capacity. It offered excellent low-speed tractability in top gear and robust acceleration, achieving a top speed of 100mph.
In 1953, enhancements including revised porting and plumbing were introduced with the ‘four pipe’ Mark II model, ensuring the ‘Squariel’s’ continued popularity until 1959. By 1957, the solo version of the 4G Mark II was priced at £336.16s, but many were configured with sidecars, raising the overall cost to nearly that of a new small car.
A notable variant, the Mk II 1000cc Ariel Square Four, featured a redesigned cylinder head and separate barrels, enhancing its performance capabilities. Despite promising prototypes in 1954 for a Mk3 model with Earles forks, production of the Square Four and all Ariel four-stroke models ceased in 1959. At the end of its production run this model had earned its fame, and had been produced in numbers to the tune of 15,000 across all variants.
Lot 26–31 are part of a deceased estate collection.
The odometer reads 1912mi, though true mileage is unknown. Webb’s understands this motorcycle was last registered in 1977 under the registration 393ZR. There is significant wear to the leather seat, however this bike is otherwise in a remarkable original condition. The blemishes that are present are sufficient only to provide this classic and collectible motorcycle with a lovely patina.

Lot 27 1939 Ariel Square Four 1000cc
Engine: DF317
Frame: HS808
est $25,000 $35,000
Despite its age and lack of official status on New Zealand roads, this early example of a Square Four is a manifestly good looking machine. Part of a deceased estate and numbering among several collectible British motorcycles, this member of the collection was originally registered under the number GRC863. Though built on 6 June 1939 it was first registered in England in 1949. A certificate attached to the front-left fork certifies the machine as having been last registered there in June 1963 to an Albert Reginald Day, who owned it at least
up until 2001. Webb’s understands it was imported to New Zealand in 2008. The leather on the spring seat is in excellent condition. The odometer, with mph markers painted on by way of repair, currently reads just over 1,000mi. This is unlikely the true mileage. The tank and frame carry minor blemishes but otherwise this motorcycle is in a generally good condition. In its current state, and with a folder of history available to support it, Webb’s is reliably informed that this motorcycle should not be hard to get back on the road.
This vehicle will be sold unregistered and without WOF.
Lot 28 1956 Ariel Square
Four 1000cc
Engine: ML166 Frame: GM102
est $30,000 $35,000
A 1956 iteration, it was first imported into New Zealand from Australia in 2010. It is in original condition though some patina is evident. The seat is made of “Vynide” material and sports some minor cracks. Despite some lingering heat-induced discolouration and dirt the exhaust pipe is in good condition. The frame and engine are also in an upstanding condition. The mileage currently reads 15,515mi.
The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.
Lot 29 1957 Ariel Square Four 1000cc
Engine: ML463
Frame: ET1550
est $25,000 $30,000
This example is a New Zealand-new Square Four, was first registered here on 24 May 1957 and subsequently registered by four different owners in the Wellington area up until 1973. Between 1980 and 1984 this machine was restored by Eric Collins, and used as a display for many years in his café on the main street in Picton. The Lucas ‘King of The Road’ lamp’s battery box is adorned with a Nelson Classic & Vintage Motorcycle Club sticker. The G12 was eventually reregistered here in 1999 at 30,000mi, and has done just under 5,000mi since then.
The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.
Lot 30 1955 Matchless G9 500cc
Engine: 55/G925558
Frame: B28915
est $12,000 $15,000
Introduced in 1948, the Matchless G9 diverged from the norm of British parallel twins by featuring an additional central crankshaft bearing. This new 498cc engine was accommodated within a sprung frame, a recent innovation for heavyweight singles. Over time, the engine underwent several capacity increases, culminating in its enlargement to 646cc by 1958 with the launch of the Matchless G12. Initially unveiled at the post-war Earls Court motorcycle show, the Matchless G9 was first geared for export to the US, and it wasn’t until late summer 1949 that they became available domestically in the UK.
These models boasted modern styling, including a dual seat, megaphone silencers, and gleaming chrome finish, earning the titles “Super Clubman” for Matchless and “Spring Twin” for AJS. The remainder of the bike’s components adhered to standard AMC specifications, with the engine nestled in a pivoted fork frame equipped with telescopic front forks. The design remained largely unchanged for the next few years, with a notable update
occurring in 1952 when a new Burman gearbox was introduced.
By 1951, the rear suspension was enhanced with the introduction of the Jampot unit, which received mixed reviews including criticism for its shape in The Motor Cycle magazine. That same year, minor updates included a new Lucas horn-push on the handlebar and the replacement of a previous transfer with a medallion badge. The front fork’s damping system was also upgraded from shuttle damping to rod and damper-type.
After continuous refinement, production of the G9 was eventually halted in 1961. This example, being a 1955 model, has a 500cc engine. It is New Zealand-new, having first been registered here that year. While it’s true mileage is unknown it has covered just 600mi since it was last re-registered in 2000.
The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.
Lot 31 1960 Matchless G12 650cc
Engine: 60/G12LX2716
Frame: A73493
est $10,000 $12,000
Being one of the last motorcycles ever produced under the Matchless name, the G12 occupies a bittersweet but noteworthy space in motorcycle history. Also known as the ‘Monarch,’ it used as many parts from the G11 model as it’s designer, Phil Walker, could make possible. The brief for the newer model involved a 650cc engine, however its predecessor carried only a 593cc powerplant. The new specification was achieved by lengthening the stroke; however, the cylinders could not be bored out further, so the engine capacity ultimately rested at 646cc when the bike went into production.
Despite this relatively minimal shortcoming silver linings were present. Shortening the stroke had meant designing and building a new crankshaft and chain-case for the engine, which also provided engineers the opportunity to add an improved Lucas alternator. All said and done the G12 could produce 35bhp @ 6500rpm through a four-speed gearbox.
This example has come to be offered at Webb’s by way of import from the United Kingdom, having been registered here for the first time in 2018. It’s odometer now reads a low 61,515mi and it is presented in a highly original condition.
A certificate of authenticity supplied by A.J.S. & Matchless Owners Club of England certifies this G12 as having been completed in February 1960 and supplied to dealers T.C. Munday & Co. Ltd of Brixton, London. Documents detailing its time in the UK are available on request.
The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

Any prospective new buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide photo identification before bidding. Webb’s may request bank, trade or other financial references to substantiate this registration.
4.3. Bidding as a Principal
When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price including the buyer’s premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Webb’s before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Webb’s and that Webb’s will only look to the principal for payment.
4.4. International Registrations
All International clients not known to Webb’s will be required to scan or fax through an accredited form of photo identification and pay a deposit at our discretion in cleared funds into Webb’s account at least 24 hours before the commencement of the auction. Bids will not be accepted without this deposit. Webb’s also reserves the right to request any additional forms of identification prior to registering an overseas bid.
This deposit can be made using a credit card, however the balance of any purchase price in excess of $5,000 cannot be charged to this card without prior arrangement.
This deposit is redeemable against any auction purchase and will be refunded in full if no purchases are made.
4.5. Absentee Bids
Webb’s will use reasonable efforts to execute written bids delivered to us AT LEAST 24 Hours before the sale for the convenience of those clients who are unable to attend the auction in person. If we receive identical written bids on a particular lot, and at the auction these are the highest bids on that lot, then the lot will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free
service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors or omissions which may arise. It is the bidder’s responsibility to check with Webb’s after the auction if they were successful. Unlimited or “Buy” bids will not be accepted.

Priority will be given to overseas and bidders from other regions. Please refer to the catalogue for the Telephone Bids form. Arrangements for this service must be confirmed AT LEAST 24 HOURS PRIOR to the auction commencing. Webb’s accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any errors or failure to execute bids. In telephone bidding the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here and accepts that Webb’s cannot be held responsible for any miscommunications in the process. The success of telephone bidding cannot be guaranteed due to circumstances that are unforeseen. Buyers should be aware of the risk and accept the consequences should contact be unsuccessful at the time of Auction. You must advise Webb’s of the lots in question, and you will be assumed to be a buyer at the minimum price of 75% of estimate (i.e. reserve) for all such lots. Webb’s will advise Telephone Bidders who have registered at least 24 hours before the auction of any relevant changes to descriptions, withdrawals, or any other sale room notices.

Except as stated in paragraph 7 below, neither the Seller, ourselves, our officers, agents or employees give any representation warranty or guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in respect of any lot with regard to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, description, size, quality, condition, attribution, authenticity, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibition history, litreature or historical relevance. Except as required by local law any warranty of any kind is excluded by this paragraph.
7. Limited Warranty
Subject to the terms and conditions of this paragraph, the Seller warrants for the period of thirty days from the date of the sale that any property described in this catalogue (noting such description may be amended by any saleroom notice or announcement) which is stated without qualification to be the work of a named author or authorship is authentic and not a forgery. The term “Author” or “authorship” refers to the creator of the property or to the period, culture, source, or origin as the case may be, with which the creation of such property is identified in the catalogue.
The warranty is subject to the following: it does not apply where a) the catalogue description or saleroom notice corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars and experts at the date of the sale or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of opinions, or b) correct identification of a lot can be demonstrated only by means of a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at the date of the publication of the catalogue was unreasonably expensive or impractical or likely to have caused damage to the property.
the benefits of the warranty are not assignable and shall apply only to the original buyer of the lot as shown on the invoice originally issued by Webb’s when the lot was sold at Auction.
the Original Buyer must have remained the owner of the lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party.
The Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against the Seller in place of any other remedy which might be available, is the cancellation of the sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid for the lot less the buyer’s premium which is non-refundable.
Neither the Seller nor Webb’s will be liable for any special, incidental nor consequential damages including, without limitation, loss of profits.
The Buyer must give written notice of claim to us within thirty days of the date of the Auction. The Seller shall have the right, to require the Buyer to obtain two written opinions by recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to the Buyer and Webb’s to decide whether or not to cancel the sale under warranty.
the Buyer must return the lot to Seller in the same condition that it was purchased.
8. Severability
If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted, and the rest of the Conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
