Reverberating 80s Futurism

Essay by OLIVIA TAYLOR

New technologies, consumerism, capital expansion, MTV and the emergence of punk and new-wave subcultures define the 1980s. It was a time of drastic change and revolt against conventions that influenced the evolution of the automotive industry. The decade marked a turning point in vehicle manufacturing history, forcing it to adapt to new realities at breakneck speed. From fuel-efficient cars to computerised manufacturing processes, designers and engineers had the limitless capacity to make anything. While some feared the digital unknown, opportunists thrived, creating out-of-the-box cars that were set apart from anything seen on the road before.

Emphasising speed, dynamism and motion, a common theme of the era was reinvigorated futurism. Designers reimagined the world with the overwhelming presence of computers and automation. The results were cars that sported sleek, uninterrupted lines, brutalist blank panels, and hard-angled windows.

The most famous example is, of course, the DeLorean DMC-12 that played a starring role in the 1985 film Back to the Future. The stainless steel car with gull-wing doors and a built-in time machine was an iconic symbol of the decade’s vision of tomorrow.

1985 Lotus Excel, lot 2 in our catalogue

Lotus Excel Advert, 1983

Some boundaries that were pushed did not result in iconised fame but instead in fascinating amalgamations of the best components that the ten-year span had to offer. The pyramid-like profile of the Lamborghini Athon concept car from 1980 was simply abstract. Almost lost to the past and the drawing board, it was made from a mix of aluminium, fibreglass and Kevlar to reduce weight. Inside, it tentatively featured an early effort at a touchscreen with videogame graphics. Though it never went into production, many styling cues were later incorporated into the wildly popular Countach and Diablo designs.

The 1980s was also a time of increased globalisation, generating a melting pot of crossovers and collaborations. A success story was the partnership between Lotus and Toyota and the resulting Excel. Aerodynamic and straight out of a light-grid digital dream, the 1985 Lotus Excel was truly magnetic. Turning heads to this day, the slick 3-door fastback coupe was somewhat of an anomaly for Lotus. It was originally launched in 1982 and was the last Lotus to be created under the leadership of the company’s founder Colin Chapman. Financial strife of this time led to Toyota joining as a shareholder, allowing Lotus to fossick through their parts bin.

The influence is palpable. It gained a Toyota fivespeed gearbox, along with its differential, driveshafts, and disc brakes. Mixing the Lotus Esprit with Japanese features resulted in a perfected and dynamic balance, turning the Excel into one of the era’s best-handling cars. The futurism of the Excel feels incarnate of a neo-noir character, ready to slip through Tokyo’s reflective, glowing streets in a downpour. The design has undoubtedly been a catalyst of contemporary innovations.

Retrofuturism is now taking hold of new designs, harking back to the radical conceptual visions of the 80s but with the latest technology and features. Polygonal, as if loading and not yet rendered, Tesla’s Cybertruck is due to be released this year. This all-electric vehicle has three motors and is all-wheel drive with a mind-blowing towing capacity of around seven tones. It is part pick-up truck, part alien, with a panoramic sunroof and a nearly impenetrable exoskeleton designed for ultimate durability.

From the time-travelling DeLorean to the synthwave Lotus Excel, 1980s design continues to enthral with radical looks and engineering marvels. What lies ahead is shrouded in mystery. Only time will tell. As we eagerly await the unveiling of new technologies and the emergence of new concepts, one thing is certain, the pulsing energy of the 1980s will continue to beat into an undefined age of electric and self-driving vehicles.

Collectors’ Cars: Top 10 Prices

1957 Aston Martin DB2/4 MKII price realised. $418,000 est. $375,000 – $400,000 sale. August 2022

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.

1974 Porsche 911S Targa 2.4 price realised. $324,500 est. $320,000 – $350,000 sale. April 2022

6: 1970 Jaguar XK150 3.8S price realised. $275,000 est. $375,000 – $400,000 sale.

April 2022

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.

1991 Porsche 911 Backdate price realised. $242,000 est. $220,000 – $240,000 sale. April 2022

1971 Ford Falcon XY GTHO Replica price realised. $233,200 est. $150,000 – $180,000 sale. November 2022

1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL (W113) price realised. $212,750 est. $200,000 – $240,000 sale. November 2022

1968 Mercedes Benz 280 SL Manual price realised. $198,375 est. $125,000 – $150,000 sale. November 2022

The final incarnation of Jaguar’s fabulous ‘XK’ series of sports cars arrived in 1957. This example was one of only 115 right-hand drive 3.8-litre ‘S’ coupés made, making it one of the rarest of all XK150 variants. With full matching numbers, this XK150 was one of the finest Jaguars Webb’s has ever offered and represented a wonderful opportunity for the serious Jaguar collector to acquire an example of one of the most powerful limited production XKs manufactured.

1969 Jaguar E-Type by Beacham price realised. $242,000 est. $230,000 – $260,000 sale. August 2022

1963 Mercedes Benz 190SL price realised. $218,500 est. $180,000 – $220,000 sale.

August 2022

2013 Rolls-Royce Ghost price realised. $201,250 est. $185,000 – $220,000 sale.

Foreword

Welcome to our first Collectors’ Cars, Motorcycles, and Automobilia catalogue of 2023. This iteration, the auction is taking place in our very own Auckland gallery. We have brought it right back to our headquarters on Normanby Road, Mount Eden, marking our first sale here since July 2020. It is a refined curation, smaller, but certainly not lacking in variety. This April, we are thrilled to offer our clients a wide selection of earlycentury classic cars, modern vehicles and a broad collection of motorcycles.

Our November auction exceeded expectations with fantastic results and some surprises. For instance, a 1971 Ford Falcon XY GTHO Replica sold for $233,200, surpassing its $150,000 - $180,000 estimate. Similarly, the 1956 Chevrolet Truck was hotly contested and eventually sold for $126,500, more than double its estimated value of $60,000 - $80,000. We have noticed that our buyers are gaining more confidence and are willing to bid higher through our online platform or over the phone.

Despite murmurs of a cooling economy, the classic car market remains strong. Collectible cars are still considered viable investments, offering a hedge against inflation. In New Zealand, buying and selling cars is not hindered by the burden of capital gains tax, allowing strong trade and rapid turnover.

This catalogue features several highlights. Our cover star is a beautifully restored Jaguar XK140 Roadster that has resided in the Bay of Islands for the last decade. We also have a very special appearance presented in collaboration with BMW – the 8 X Jeff Koons: 2022 BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupé (opposite). This car is a limited edition model with only 99 in the world. It comes with a signed certificate of authenticity by Koons offering a rare dual art and collectors’ car investment opportunity.

In addition, we have a selection of motorcycles from the noted collector and former racer Chris North. North has spent a lifetime collecting bikes, particularly with an early-20thcentury British slant and is now winding down his collecting. The bikes on offer have been sitting in dry storage for some time and are all being sold at no reserve.

This year will be exciting for our clients and the Collectors’ Cars, Motorcycles, and Automobilia department. We will return to our usual format of more extensive sales later in the year. We have already started consigning for our August and November live sales and welcome more entries.

We hope you will enjoy this auction and the pleasure that owning a classic car can bring. These machines are like “moving museums,” transporting drivers and onlookers alike to another era. Whatever marque or model appeals to you, we are confident that you will find something special in this sale.

Lot 1

1986 Mercedes-Benz 500SL (R107)

Chassis: WDB1070462A054800

Engine: 11796422002348

est $35,000 — $45,000

The Mercedes-Benz 500SL is a classic car that was part of the R107 series of SL-Class roadsters produced by MercedesBenz from 1971 to 1989. The 500SL was introduced in 1980 and featured many upgrades over its predecessors. It had a powerful 5.0-litre V8 engine that produced 237 horsepower and 296 lb-ft of torque (401 N.m), paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. This allowed the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in around 6.8 seconds and reach a top speed of about 225 kmph.

The car’s exterior epitomised ‘classic roadster’, with a long hood, short rear deck, and a retractable soft-top roof. The interior was fitted with premium materials, including leather seats and wood trim, and had amenities like air conditioning, power windows, and a premium sound system. It also had safety features like anti-lock brakes and a driver’s airbag, a new technology at the time.

This particular Mercedes-Benz 500SL was purchased at Chelsea Cars of London in early 2004 by a New Zealander residing in the UK at the time. The previous owner held the car for seven years, and the earlier owner had it for 19 years. Six other UK owners were noted, but it is unclear if any of them were dealers. Regular servicing was undertaken by the vendor in the UK. When the vendor returned to New Zealand in 2008, the car was imported and treated for rust to aid compliance,

including treatment to the underbody, chassis, rails, sills, and front guards. In recent years, a new air-conditioning compressor and ignition module were fitted. Regular servicing has been undertaken in New Zealand, including repairs to the electric brake callipers.

The sale includes the car’s original service books, which note that a new speedometer was fitted in 1998 at 69,107 miles. The reason for the replacement is unknown. The 500SL now has 59,559 miles on the clock, bringing the total mileage to 128,607 miles. The Nautical Blue Metallic paint presents in fair condition for its age and has had some minor issues that could be tidied up. The beige leather interior has been wellmaintained. All the electric windows work, as do the electrics in the heated seats and wing mirror. The dark blue soft top presents well and is not faded. The soft-top window is clear and undamaged. A spare and original jack are present. There are two sets of keys, and an immobiliser has been fitted.

The Mercedes-Benz 500SL is an eminently usable classic car and would make a commanding daily driver as the world’s ‘gentleman’s muscle car’. It remains a sought-after example among collectors and enthusiasts in the Mercedes SL canon.

The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

Lot 2

1985 Lotus Excel

Chassis: SCC089912EHG11627

Engine: D2912840921828

est $45,000 — $55,000

The Lotus Excel, a sporting grand tourer with perfect 50/50 weight distribution, was designed by Oliver Winterbottom and produced by Lotus from 1982 to 1992 as a successor to the Lotus Eclat model. Its sleek, aerodynamic ‘wedge’ exterior design featured pop-up headlights and a low, sloping hood, with a fibreglass body mounted on a steel backbone chassis to reduce weight and improve handling.

In the 1980s, Toyota contracted Lotus to help develop the Supra, which led to a partnership between the two companies. As a result, many components of Lotus cars from that era were sourced from Toyota, including the Excel’s W58 manual gearbox, driveshafts, rear differential, alloy wheels, and door handles from the A60 Toyota Supra. The Excel was powered by a 2.2-litre inline-four engine that produced 160 horsepower and 160 lb-ft of torque (217 N.m), paired with a five-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. It had a top speed of around 216 kmph and could accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in about seven seconds.

The 1985 model year saw some upgrades, including flared wheel arches, a larger boot opening, and the installation of front fog lamps and a VDO instrument cluster. 15-inch wheels became an option. Inside, the Excel featured a driverfocused cockpit with sporty seats, a small, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and surprisingly spacious interior.

The example presented by Webb’s is a rare local delivery, with only a handful of Excel models being delivered new in New Zealand. This particular car has been wellmaintained, with the first keeper retaining it for 13 years and the second for 20. It is finished in the lustrous Silver Frost Metallic (code A45) with a velour interior, unmarked rims, and a low mileage of 30,000 miles, making it a highly desirable and affordable supercar.

The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

1999 Jaguar XKR Coupe

Chassis: SAJJGAEF3AR041189

Engine: EC9905131444

est $35,000 — $40,000

The XKR was designed to replace Jaguar’s tremendous commercial success of the XK8. The new and improved version XKR made its debut at the Geneva Motorshow, available in either coupe or convertible guises. The E-Type inspired the elegant vehicle that featured visual updates compared to the XK8. These included the mesh grille at the front, two hood air vents to help cool the engine, a discrete rear spoiler, and statement 18-inch alloy wheels. Inside, Jaguar installed all the luxurious materials expected of the British maker. Connolly leather and walnut dashboard trims emphasise the contemporary enchantment that the car holds.

Under the bonnet, on 5-speed automatic transmission, the recently introduced 4.0-litre V8 was more powerful than ever. With the addition of a supercharger that outputs 370bhp, 80bhp more than the XK8, the XKR has a top speed of 250kmph, likely to be stretched further in the right conditions. Factory standard it came with airbags, alloy wheels, anti-lock brakes, CD 6-disc autochanger, computer active technology suspension, and cruise control.

This XKR was purchased new by a New Zealander in London at Stratstone’s of Mayfair in 1999 and has been in their careful care ever since. It has recently arrived back in New Zealand and is now surplus to their needs. Freshly complied, the XKR has brand new brakes and rotors. Some cosmetic dents have been removed, and issues of corrosion have been identified, removed and treated. The rims have been groomed. All the electrics in the seats are fully operational. Well maintained, the car has no accident history and no oil leaks.

With just 39,186 miles on the clock, every aspect of this car exudes understated elegance and comfort.

The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

1971 Ford Falcon XY GTHO Replica

Chassis: JG34LY 82476 C

Engine: PK19720

est $150,000 — $180,000

This GTHO recreation started life as a Ford Fairmont Sedan XY, built in June 1971, with a 3-speed manual floor shift, partial synchro gearbox. After a long search for a suitable car, the vendor discovered it in Australia whilst he was living there in 2008.

After returning to New Zealand in 2010 the vendor set about creating their dream car in 2018, noting that “it was an excellent car to start with.” The body was panel beaten and dipped, then painted in the Falcon colour of ‘Vermillion Fire’ by Matamata Panel Works.

The interior was reinvigorated with numerous additions, even in its good original condition which was kept along with the original door panels. New carpets and a hood lining was fitted, along with an original GTHO dash. An original GT steering wheel was sourced and fully restored by Rimblow Restorations. Period louvre blinds are fitted to the rear window.

While the vendor was residing in Australia, the glove box was removed and taken to a Sydney meet in 2008 where Allan Moffat himself signed it. It was in the legendary GTHO variant that Moffat achieved his first Bathurst victory. The bumpers are in good order and didn’t require being re-chromed. All the correct GTHO decals and stencilling were added. This is documented in highly detailed receipts, and LVVC certified.

Under the hood, the vendor sourced and rebuilt a genuine Phase 3 4-speed engine, close ratio top loader gearbox, with 31 spline-long tail housing and fitted an original XYGT shifter. They rebuilt the 9-inch diff with a Truetrac limited-slip diff centre. Fresh brakes were added all around with new brake lines, including GTHO vacuum tank and proportioning valve and a 54H radiator support panel to match GTHO spec.

An aftermarket MSD ignition has been fitted. It is to be noted that once fired up, the car will only idle once warmed up due to the choke block on the carbs. The horn is not currently working correctly.

Another note is that this recreation does not have a Falcon 36 gallon tank. The original Fairmont tank is in place,

the vendor had intended to replace it, one had been sourced, however, due to Covid-19 restrictions and slowed shipping, it never arrived. It does have a spare bracket to fit a 36 gallon tank though. The car has been lowered two inches to the owner’s taste.

The engine was rebuilt by Murray Gray of Mount Maunganui with a 351 Cleveland block sourced and engineered as close as possible to GTHO specifications; hydraulic flat tappet cam rather than solid, camshaft from Kelford Cams, 530 thou lift – slightly more than a GTHO, 4ma crank, standard stroke, forged eagle rods, 10.1:1 compression, GTHO specified heads, 4V closed chamber, machined for screw-in studs with guide plates, roller tip rockers, Edelbrock alloy intake with new Holley 670 street avenger carb, MSD billet distributor, Yella Terra billet steel flywheel and, McLeod clutch.

All the machining was completed by Regal Automotive in Tauranga.

For the wheels, brand new custom-made 14x8” 12 slots were sourced in Melbourne along with new Bridgestone Eagers tyres. The rear wheels have a quarter-inch larger dish than the front wheels. The shut lines are good and close beautifully. The radio works with AM only. Since the rebuild, the engine has completed a minimal 2,000 miles, now sitting at a total of 68,769 miles. The sale of this vehicle will come complete with an original workshop manual that aided the recreation and an original GTHO brochure. This exceptional car is an opportunity for anyone wanting to buy a ‘Falcon’ with all of the kit but without the price tag.

The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

Engine: 518490

est $5,000 — $7,500 offered without reserve

The BMW R60 was produced by BMW from 1956 to 1969. The R60 was introduced as part of the BMW “slash-2” series, which also included the R50 and R69 models. The R60 was powered by a 594cc horizontally-opposed twin-cylinder engine that produced 30 horsepower. This engine was known for its smoothness and reliability, and it was capable of propelling the R60 to a top speed of around 90 miles per hour.

The R60 was designed as a touring motorcycle, and it was equipped with features such as a large fuel tank, a comfortable seat, and a full set of gauges. It also featured BMW’s trademark Earles fork front suspension, which provided a comfortable ride even on rough roads. It was available with a number of optional extras, including a sidecar and a luggage rack.

In 1960, BMW introduced an updated version of the R60, known as the R60/2. The R60/2 featured a number of improvements over the original R60, including a larger front brake, a redesigned exhaust system, and an updated electrical system. The R60/2 also featured a slightly modified engine that produced 32 horsepower.

Overall, the BMW R60 was a highly-regarded motorcycle that was known for its comfort, reliability, and performance. It remains a popular choice among collectors and enthusiasts today.

c.1918 ABCGnome & Rhône 400cc

Engine: 2624/1146/2793

est $15,000 — $25,000 offered without reserve

The British ABC and French Gnome & Rhône companies were major aircraft engine manufacturers during World War I and added motorcycle production to their portfolios. Gnome & Rhône made ABC-licensed bikes from this expanded offering before designing their own.

In 1919, ABC jointly exhibited with the Sopwith Aviation & Engineering Co., displaying their Sopwith-branded ABC motorcycle at the annual Motor Cycle show. In addition to its float-twin engine, the bike featured a duplex cradle frame, front and rear leaf springs, ‘expanding’ brakes, wet sump lubrication and a four-speed gearbox. However, it needed to be ‘bump’ started, which Chris says is ‘very entertaining’.

In 1918, ABC made a motorcycle with a 400cc, horizontally-opposed, flat-twin engine mounted with cylinders across the frame, several years before BMW adapted the design, ABC challenged BMW’s use of this patented design in 1926.

The bike was likely built in France under licence of the Sopwith Aviation Company, it has a Sopwith motor installed. According to Chris, some parts of the French motor may still be fitted. This example has a more prominent front brake and sportier handlebars. Chris describes it as a ‘small fun bike’.

1946 Triumph Speed Twin 500cc

Engine: 46 T100 79053

est $5,000 — $10,000 offered without reserve

Despite the devastation of World War II on British society, motorcycle manufacturers like Triumph and BSA thrived by selling innovative motorcycles to the armed forces including wildly popular side-valve singles.

In 1940, German bombs destroyed the Triumph factory in Coventry, decimating all technical records, drawings and designs. The company overcame this adversity when the government bankrolled a new factory in the Midlands, which became the famous Meriden plant. Triumph ramped up civilian production at the war’s end, resulting in the 1946 Triumph 5T Speed Twin becoming its best-seller. Over 20,000 units were sold during its production run.

The Speed Twin was powered by a 498cc parallel twin engine, which was capable of producing around 28 horsepower. It featured a four-speed gearbox and a chain drive system. The motorcycle had a top speed of approximately 90 mph (145 kmph), making it one of the fastest bikes of its time.

The Speed Twin had a lightweight frame made of highquality steel, designed to provide stability and agility. It featured a telescopic front fork and a swingarm rear suspension, which helped to improve handling and control. The motorcycle was modern, with a sleek fuel tank and a low, streamlined saddle.

The Speed Twin was highly influential in developing the parallel-twin engine layout, which became a popular design for many British motorcycles in the post-war years. It set the stage for the development of many iconic models in the years that followed.

This early model features instruments in the tank, fitted with twin carbs and a large racing oil tank. It has a fixed rear wheel rather than a sprung hub, which is much better for racing. Chris notes that ‘the bike starts and runs well.’

1948 Triumph 3T 350cc

Engine: 3T 9108199

est $10,000 — $15,000 offered without reserve

The 1946-1956 Triumph 3T was a versatile motorcycle designed for both on-road and off-road use. Its 350cc OHV engine provided ample power and torque, and was paired with a four-speed gearbox and chain drive. Based on Edward Turner’s pre-war Speed Twin engine design, the 3T featured rocker boxes integrated into the cylinder head casting and a built-up crankshaft with one-piece connecting rods, similar to the military 3TW.

The motorcycle’s running gear was mostly borrowed from the Speed Twin, including Triumph’s new telescopic front fork. The 3T had lower gearing than its 500cc sibling but could still reach a top speed of 75mph and had an impressive

fuel economy of around 80mpg. Compared to the later unitary construction 3TA 350, the 3T retained some of the low-end power associated with Triumph’s larger vertical twins. As a result, many riders consider the 3T to be a more pleasant and characterful machine to ride. This particular 3T model is the smaller sibling to the Speed Twin and is equipped with a rare, correct speedometer. The paint and chrome are in good condition, and the Chris notes that ‘it starts and runs well’ with a ‘nice toast rack and nacelle’.

In 1955, the Tiger Cub underwent some changes, including a revised frame and improved suspension. The new frame was more robust and lighter than the previous design, while the suspension featured longer shocks and a longer travel front fork for better handling and comfort.

The Tiger Cub was popular due to its lightweight, easy handling, and reliability. It was also used extensively in off-road competitions, including trials, scrambles, and motocross. Over the years, various models and variations of the Tiger Cub were produced, including the T20, T20S, T20SL, T20T, and T20SS.

The 1947 BSA B33 was a British-made motorcycle produced by Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) between 1947 and 1960 – of which the 500cc single-cylinder bike was known for its reliability and durability.

The B33 was a popular model for BSA, used by both civilian and military riders. It had a four-stroke, overhead-valve engine that produced 26 horsepower and had a top speed of around 80 mph.

The B33 was designed with a telescopic fork suspension at the front and a plunger-type suspension at the rear. It had a rigid frame and was fitted with drum brakes. The bike was equipped with a four-speed gearbox and a chain drive. The 1947 series was the last bike to feature the speedometer mounted in the petrol tank. From 1948 it was mounted as an instrument on the handlebars. The frame is a classic B31 model used through WWII with a 500cc B.

The BSA B33 was often used for touring and long-distance riding due to its comfort and reliability. For this

reason, it was also popular with police departments and other law enforcement agencies worldwide.

This example was imported from Australia and was believed to have been restored there by National Motor Museum, Birdwood, South Australia, prior to 2000 before it was put on display there. It then passed to a private owner in Tasmania in 2005 before being purchased by our vendor in 2007 and later imported to New Zealand.

The bike is not currently registered but can be, the vendor opted against registering as it would have required drilling a VTNZ compliance plate on the frame, spoiling it’s original state. It comes complete with import paperwork, some ownership history, VCC authentication, a manual, and details of recent servicing and restorations, with 573 miles on the clock.

1954 Velocette MSS 500cc

Frame: RS4274C

Engine: 10464

est $8,000 — $10,000

Velocette motorcycles were manufactured by Veloce Ltd, located at Hall Green, Birmingham, England. Velocette was a small, family-owned firm, selling almost as many hand-built motorcycles during its lifetime as the large BSA and Norton mass-produced machines.

Renowned for the quality of its products, the company was inevitably present in international motorcycle racing. Right from the mid-1920s through the 1950s, this culminated in two World Championship titles (1949–1950 350cc) and its legendary and still-unbeaten (for single-cylinder, 500cc machines) 24 hours at over 100 mph (161 kmph) record.

Velocette, while small, was a great technical innovator. Many of its patented designs are commonplace on motorcycles today, including the positive-stop foot shift and

swinging arm rear suspension with hydraulic dampers. The MSS model debuted in the mid-1930s as Velocette’s largecapacity OHV bike. A 495cc single was a significant bike proving strong competition to the then largely dominant 250cc MOV and 350cc MAC. MSS manufacturing was halted in 1948 as Velocette concentrated on newer models making a return in 1954 with a square 86mm by 86mm bore/stroke single, now at 499cc. Producing 25bhp, it was considered one of the best-handling British bikes of the era

This bike, whilst in good condition overall, will require some re-commissioning by its next owner.

1952 Matchless G80

Frame: Unknown

Engine: Unknown

est $6,000 — $8,000

In 1938, Matchless and AJS became part of Associated Motorcycles, both companies producing virtually identical models under their respective brands. Introduced in 1947, the Matchless G80 was a long-running single-cylinder 500cc model (the equivalent AJS being the Model 18), combining a pushrod four-stroke single displacing 498cc and a four-speed Burman constant mesh gearbox.

Due to the poor quality fuel available in the immediate post-war period, the long-stroke motor had very low compression of 5.9:1, initially using hairpin valve springs and was fed via a single Amal Type 891 carburettor. Early models used Teledraulic forks and a rigid rear end before the swingarm suspension was adopted from 1949; rear shocks were changed from the early “Candlestick” type to the “Jampot” variety in 1951, followed by Girling-made items in 1956. Variants included the CS (Competition Suspension) model

designed for scrambling and a 600cc Typhoon model aimed squarely at the American market.

Solidly built, dependable and handsome, the post-war G80 is an affordable classic British motorcycle from the immediate post-war period and the perfect bike for club activities.

According to the vendor’s family, this bike was used by him at a local competition level bearing the racing number 268. The actual period that the motorcycle was utilised is unclear though some ephemera surrounding its history in this environment is to hand. It should be noted, too, that “it appears to be a G80”, but this has proven difficult to confirm with certainty.

1973 Norton Commando 750cc

Frane: 7AT0DK00X12220947

Engine Number: 220947

est $15,000 — $20,000

Regarded by many as the finest British twin of its era, the Commando was introduced at Earls Court London in 1967 and proved a worthy flagship for Norton-Villiers over the next decade. Well received by the press and public, the Commando took out Motorcycle News “Machine of the Year” award five years in succession.

Powered by an air-cooled parallel twin whose origins can be traced back to the Bert Hopwood-designed Model 7 of the late 1940s, the Commando replaced the 750 Atlas. Key to the Commando’s success was an entirely new isoelastic frame designed by Dr Stefan Brauer, with rubber damping eliminating the vibrations that plagued so many other frames of the day and in which the pre-unit engine was mounted in a canted position.

The earliest Mark 1 Commandos had a twin leadingshoe front drum brake and were sold in two models, the original ‘Fastback’ and ‘S-type’. The latter was a scramblerstyle bike with high exhaust, a smaller fuel tank and front forks that lacked shrouds or gaiters. Production of the 750 Commando evolved through the late 1960s and into the early 1970s. From the start, the Commando had tasted success on the track, initially with privateers running in production classes but later with the works team using more highly developed versions, including Peter Williams’ victory on a John Playersponsored Norton in the Formula 750 Isle of Man TT in 1973. By the late 1970s, the Japanese had made strong inroads into the European and American markets that the Norton name disappeared altogether.

This specific Norton was sold new in New Zealand. It was registered here on 2 May 1973. Finished in the not very common “Norton Blue”, it’s in good condition and is indicative of the care lavished on it by its enthusiast owner racer.

est $20,000 — $25,000

The 1956 Triumph T110 was a British-made motorcycle produced by the Triumph Motor Company between 1954 and 1961. It was a high-performance model known for its speed, handling, and reliability.

The T110 featured a 650cc, parallel-twin engine that produced 40 horsepower and had a top speed of around 105 miles per hour. It was equipped with a four-speed gearbox and a chain drive. The bike had a rigid frame and was fitted with telescopic fork suspension at the front and twin shocks at the rear.

The T110 was popular with riders who valued speed and performance. It was often used for racing and was a successful model in the Isle of Man TT races in the 1950s. The bike was also popular with police departments and other law enforcement agencies worldwide.

The 1956 T110 was part of a series of Triumph motorcycles known as the “pre-unit” models, which referred to the design of the engine and gearbox as separate units rather than being integrated. The pre-unit models were known for their durability and reliability.

This example is exceptional, it’s a pre-unit construction model and a hard-tail custom. It was subject to a complete nut and bolt rebuild, with many custom fabricated parts in stainless steel. Every part of the bike has been painted and finished by hand, truly a work of art.

Today, the T110 is considered a classic motorcycle and is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. It is admired for its classic styling, performance, and association with the golden age of British motorcycling.

The 1978 Triumph Bonneville T140 was a British-made motorcycle produced by the Triumph Motor Company between 1973 and 1988. It was a continuation of the classic Bonneville line, which first appeared in the 1950s.

The T140 featured a 750cc, parallel-twin engine that produced 49 horsepower and had a top speed of around 110 miles per hour. It was known for its smooth power delivery and distinctive exhaust note.

1937 Alvis Speed 25

Chassis: 13679

Engine: 14089

est $145,000 — $175,000

The Alvis Speed 25 is considered by many as ‘the ultimate Alvis’. It was one of the last models produced by the British manufacturer before World War II and represented the peak of their engineering and design prowess. The Speed 25 harboured advanced features like a powerful six-cylinder engine, independent front suspension, and hydraulic brakes, making it a highly desirable and respected classic car today.

In 1936, Alvis introduced the 3.5-litre Speed 25 as a successor to their highly popular Speed 20 model, which had revolutionised the market for swift and sleek four-seater vehicles. The car was offered in a range of body styles from different coachbuilders, including a saloon, a drop-head coupe, and a sporty “sports tourer” designed by Charlesworth. Widely regarded as one of the best cars available at the time, the Speed 25 was seen as a direct rival to Bentley.

The Speed 25 was an upgraded version of the Speed 20, and it quickly became a favourite among Alvis enthusiasts. With a 3.5-litre engine, the car could reach impressive speeds of over 95 mph, which was remarkable for its time. It was the perfect balance of power and agility, making it one of the best Alvis models ever made.

At Webb’s, we are confident this is the first occasion we have offered an Alvis for sale. This is extremely rare, presenting an exciting opportunity for any collector looking to add a postwar saloon to their collection.

Completed in the body shop of Charlesworth Ltd, this Speed 25 was despatched on 14 May 1937 to Messrs Ashford of Plymouth, the Alvis dealers of this Devon city. Initial details show the first registration as being CDU822. The colour was light green with a leather interior, wings (mudguards), and black wheels. As one of only 391 built in this model, the list price was £850, a princely sum in the thirties paid by A.J. Perry, a resident of Cornwall. It would appear that Mr Perry’s proximity

to Plymouth and a lack of a dealer in the Duchy dictated the sale be directed through Ashford’s. Sometime thereafter, ownership gravitated to Cmdr. V.E May (RN) of Colorado, USA, followed by D.W. Walton of Arizona, USA, in whose care it resided for the next 40 years.

In 1996, the car was purchased and underwent restoration beginning in 2008. The process involved the finest artisans in Canterbury and was conducted to an extremely high standard. The restoration included mechanical, exterior and interior work. The light green colour was changed to cream, and the interior leather was changed to cinnamon. The restoration took six years and is fully documented with a photographic record and an extensive file of parts purchased and invoices.

Under the hood in this matching numbers example, there is a 4-speed all-synchro manual gearbox, the LuVax shock absorbers have been replaced with modern counterparts, and the brakes are cable operated with no servo. New head, crank and pistons have been installed. The sunroof is functioning well, and the interior mahogany woodwork is in good condition.

A tool kit, manual and separate wheel mallet are all present, along with a fire extinguisher of the period. Vintage radial tyres have recently been fitted. An Alvis Archive Certificate accompanies the car along with some spares.

This is an outstanding and broadly original car, with minor additions that do not sacrifice its soul. In New Zealand, there are believed to be only 150 examples of the Alvis marque here, making for a small but knowledgeable community, with our vendor being an Alvis owner for the last six years. Charlesworth built 391 Speed 25s, but only 110 survive today, making this a rare find for the next custodian.

1954 Jaguar XK140 Roadster

Chassis: 810374

Engine: G1469-8

est $175,000 — $200,000

1954 was the first production year of the Jaguar XK140. As the second iteration of Jaguar’s lauded ‘XK’ series, the XK140 came standard with improved interior space, superior brakes, rack and pinion steering, and telescopic shock absorbers that improved handling and road comfort. It was powered by a 3.4L DOHC inline-six motor that offered 190bhp at 5500rpm and was mated to a Moss four-speed manual gearbox.

This example was originally USA new and imported into New Zealand in 2007 from Iowa. Its first owner in the country was Doctor Paul McCormack ONZM. Existing in a ‘barn find’ state, it was recommissioned and fully restored by Dave Silcock in Christchurch. This process included a chassis-off strip-back to bare metal, a repaint in British Racing Green, and a LHD to RHD conversion, making it suitable for New Zealand roads. The interior has been refitted in luxurious tan leather and new carpets.

Present with all New Zealand paperwork, a tool kit, wire wheels, Wilson brakes all around, and a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, this vehicle has been fitted with a dynamo regulator and trickle-charge connection. With a chassis number of 810374, it appears that this example was the 373rd LHD XK140 Roadster to leave the factory.

Perhaps the most beloved of the Jaguar marque, the XK series has featured heavily in movies and television with notable owners such as Steve McQueen and Harrison Ford. This celebrity status, paired with the XKs alluring lines, makes this model one of the most desirable Jaguars ever produced.

Because the XK140 was offered at a reasonable price when new, many have been lost to rust or otherwise wrecked. This rarity only lends itself to increased collectors’ appeal. Today, a Jaguar XK140 Roadster in the described condition and with a low mileage of 40,125 miles is not to be overlooked. Stored or enjoyed leisurely, this Jaguar will remain a significant asset for decades.

The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF. Registered as 1955.

1962 Jaguar MkII 3.4 Automatic

Chassis: 112569

Engine BH1-1668-8

est $45,000 — $55,000

The Jaguar MKII was produced from 1959 to 1967, it was a mid-size sedan known for its elegant styling, impressive performance, and luxurious features. Fitting in line with Sir William Lyons’ 1950s advertising slogan: ‘Grace . . . Space . . . Pace.’, it was available with all three versions of the advanced Jaguar XK6 I6 engine, the 2.4, 3.4, and 3.8-litre.

Under the hood, the MKII 3.4 Automatic was powered by a 3.4-litre straight-six engine that produced 210 horsepower and 216 lb-ft of torque (292 N.m), which was mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. This allowed the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in around 10 seconds and reach a top speed of about 120 mph.

The exterior of the car featured a sleek, aerodynamic design with a distinctive grille, dual headlights, and chrome accents. The interior was fitted with premium materials, including leather seats and wood trim, and was equipped with amenities such as air conditioning and power windows.

In addition to its impressive performance and luxurious features, the MKII 3.4 Automatic was also known for its advanced safety features, including disc brakes on all four wheels – a relatively new technology at the time.

This New Zealand example now displays 17,243 miles on the speedometer. It comes complete with the rare factory-fitted power steering, wire wheels, an aftermarket Italian Moto Lita leather-rimmed steering wheel and a Ken Stout Motors dealer sticker in the rear window.

The lustrous red paintwork has been previously resprayed and presents very well. The woodwork is in excellent order with some recent restorations, and the interior has likely been fitted in leather with only minor signs of wear. The brightwork is all in very good condition. It comes complete with a wire spare and original jack. New spark plugs, an oil filter and new hoses were all fitted during its comprehensive full service last year.

This Jaguar sedan is stylish and powerful with all the features and technologies of the time – simply a must for any enthusiast or collector.

Head Coupe 4.2

Chassis: P1R43973BW

Engine No: 7R39911-9

est $230,000 — $260,000

Jaguar entered the swinging sixties with the ultimate object of automotive desire – the E-Type. Its aerodynamic shape, highperformance engine, nimble handling and luxurious interior have made it a favourite among car enthusiasts and collectors for decades. It has become an icon of the era.

Development of the E-Type began in the late 1950s, when Jaguar’s chief engineer, William Heynes, tasked aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer with designing a car that would be faster and more flow-efficient than the company’s XK sports car. Sayer used his experience designing aircraft and racing cars to create a sleek, low-slung, beautiful, and highly functional body.

The E-Type’s racing pedigree has been championed from conception. It was based on Jaguar’s highly successful and wildly popular D-Type racing car. Introduced to the public in 1961, and it quickly became a sensation.

Over the years, the E-Type evolved to meet changing tastes and regulatory requirements. The Series 2 model introduced in 1964 offered a larger engine and improved transmission, while the Series 3 model introduced in 1971 featured a more powerful V12 engine. Its looks and speed astonished everyone in the ‘60s and early ‘70s, making the E-Type an instant must-have accessory for the jet set, including Princess Grace, Steve McQueen and Frank Sinatra. In 1996, the New York City Museum of Modern Art recognised the significance of the E-Type by including a blue roadster in its permanent design collection, one of only nine motor cars to receive this distinction.

This USA new example was initially sourced from New York and was imported to New Zealand in 1997. It was last registered in 1988 and stored for 30 years with one American owner. It then passed through two New Zealand owners where it was converted to right-hand drive with a genuine E-Type RHD rack and glove compartment before our vendor purchased in 2018. At that time, it had 53,454 miles on the clock, and the

engine, transmission, brake lines, brake master cylinder and interior were all unrestored.

Our vendor then took the car to Beacham for a comprehensive bare metal, three-year restoration commencing in 2018. Operating for over 30 years, restoration experts Beacham have a stunning reputation as the Southern Hemisphere’s largest specialist reconditioner and moderniser of classic marques. Beacham has a specific focus on restoring the Jaguar marque. Beacham’s cars are meticulously restored and retrofitted, adding all the comforts of a more contemporary drive.

It has been completely restored. The body is panel beaten, treated for rust, with bare metal respray in ‘Opalescent Maroon’, with four new chrome wire wheels and tyres, a complete interior refit with new black leather hides, carpets, and a dash overhaul and re-chroming of the brightwork metalwork. Under the bonnet, a complete overhaul and restoration of the engine, carburettors and automatic transmission, new fuel hoses, new switches, alternator, new suspension, wiring loom, and the addition of vented front discs, with modern alloy callipers.

It has been retrofitted to ensure it’s a pleasure to drive on modern roads, with contemporary comforts such as; electric power steering and a new wheel, air conditioning, heated seats, reversing camera, Alpine iLX-702D Bluetooth stereo system, and central locking. Additionally, it is fully certified.

With its original import paperwork and displaying 1,200 miles on the clock since restoration, the vendor is regretfully selling the car due to contentious garage space.

Now, Webb’s presents an opportunity to travel back to another era with all the modern comforts. This E-Type proves that this can be achieved with careful consideration without losing the purity of original design intention and form.

The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

Coupe Series 1

Chassis: 818130018792

Engine: MOT81813019324

est $50,000 — $60,000

Purportedly positioned as a rival to Alfa Romeo’s successful 105-series coupes, the Lancia Fulvia was a mechanically intricate and sophisticated vehicle designed with rallying in mind. The coupe variant of the Fulvia debuted in 1965, featuring a shortened sedan platform, compact dimensions, and an eye-catching design overseen by Pietro Castagnero. The vehicle boasted a spacious cabin and ample glass area, with weight-saving measures such as aluminium doors, bonnet, and boot lid, which were meticulously crafted without any expense spared.

The Fulvia’s engine was a narrow-angle V4, inclined at 45 degrees and mounted longitudinally ahead of the transaxle. It featured twin overhead camshafts and initially displaced 1.2 litres, with a larger 1.3-litre model that debuted in 1967, generating 90bhp and featuring a refreshed exterior design. The Fulvia’s handling was exceptional, and its braking was top-notch, thanks to Dunlop discs on all four wheels. Notably, the Fulvia was the last true Lancia produced before Fiat acquired the company, and it continues to be popular among enthusiasts with a solid and dedicated following.

Between 1965 and 1967, Lancia manufactured approximately 130,000 Fulvias. Weighing in at slightly over 900kg, they were cherished for their thrilling driving experience, exceptional cornering, and lively V4 engine. It is also worth noting that the Fulvia excelled in rallying, with numerous victories against strong competitors such as the Porsche 911S, Renault Alpine, and Mini Cooper S, including wins in the RAC and Monte Carlo rallies, as well as the World Rally Championship.

This particular Lancia Fulvia spent most of its life in Italy before being imported to New Zealand and registered on 13 April 2022. Its documentation shows that it was originally sold in Turin on 13 August 1967. The car is finished in Mendoza Blue with a Tobacco interior, complemented by period-correct wheels. It underwent a restoration in 2005 and comes with a Gold Plate classification, awarded by the ASI (Automotoclub Storico Italiano), the Italian Classic Car Authority, signifying its exceptional condition. Only the most “perfect” of cars receive this recognition. The vehicle also comes with its original logbook. This Lancia Fulvia is a fabulous car, presented in near-pristine condition, and represents an excellent opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

THE 8 X JEFF KOONS

THE 8 X JEFF KOONS: 2022 BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupé

Chassis: WBAGV820X0CK45489

est $400,000 — $500,000

THE 8 X JEFF KOONS is a special edition vehicle designed by American artist Jeff Koons in collaboration with BMW. Contemporarily graced with highly animated livery by globally renowned pop-culture artist, Jeff Koons, this car is exceptional. THE 8 X JEFF KOONS 2022 BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupé rolls like a comic book, flashing striking yellows, exploding exclamations and swooshes. Only 99 were produced, making this vehicle extremely rare. Each consumed 285 hours of labour and 11 stages for the paint job alone.

THE 8 X JEFF KOONS is a collaboration inspired by the historically significant BMW Art Car project. This project has an illustrious past, filled with the artworld’s biggest names and dramatic designs. The project began in 1975 when French fine art auctioneer and amateur race car driver Hervé Poulain asked his friend, artist Alexander Calder, to design a car he could race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The result was a BMW 3.0 CSL covered in Calder’s signature bright colours and abstract shapes. This collaboration sparked a tradition that continues to this day, with over 19 different artists creating one-of-a-kind BMW Art Cars, including luminaries such as Roy Lichtenstein, Esther Mahlangu, Jenny Holzer, Andy Warhol, David Hockney, Ólafur Elíasson, Frank Stella, Robert Rauschenberg, Cao Fei and John Baldessari, among others.

In 2010, Koons was invited by BMW to create the 17th instalment of their Art Car series. Koons was selected of course due to his global fame and artworld prestige. He was born in 1955, in York, Pennsylvania and studied at both the Art Institute of Chicago and the Maryland Institute College

of Art before moving to New York City in the late 1970s. He gained notoriety in the 1980s with his “Banality” series, which featured sculptures of everyday objects rendered in highgloss materials.

He is known for his provocative and controversial art that explores themes of consumerism, popular culture, and kitsch. Koons’ artworks often involve everyday objects, such as balloon animals, vacuum cleaners, and porcelain figurines, that are transformed into larger-than-life sculptures through his meticulous fabrication process.

Koons has exhibited his work at major museums and galleries around the world, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Tate Modern. In 2013, his sculpture “Balloon Dog (Orange)” sold for a record-breaking USD$58.4 million at auction, making it the most expensive work by a living artist ever sold at the time. Koons continues to be a prominent figure in contemporary art and has influenced generations of artists with his boundarypushing work.

The 2010 Koons’ Art Car design was based on the BMW M3 GT2 race car, and it featured a vibrant, multi-coloured design with bold lines and abstract shapes. The design incorporates images of speeding cars, vibrant colours, and even Koons’ own iconic Balloon Dog sculpture. The same year it competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race.

Following the success of this collaboration, Koons was again invited by BMW to create a specialised limited edition road-worthy car in 2017 by BMW’s Head of Cultural

Engagement, Thomas Girst. After years of development, THE 8 X JEFF KOONS was born. This elaborately designed vehicle in BMW’s history was first unveiled in March 2022 at the Frieze Los Angeles art fair.

Koons explained that his design aimed to create an impression of energy explosions taking place when the car sped by on the track. The design process is meticulous, taking over 200 hours to complete, with trade experts carefully applying the design through a process of painting, sanding, and masking. As a result, only four cars can be produced per week.

Inside the car, the seats are made of striking red and blue leather, including custom floor mats and illuminated door sills that feature Jeff Koons’ signature. The car also comes equipped with a high-end sound system and a range of advanced safety features. The artist also designed the dust jacket of the Driver’s Manual. One additional signature of the artist is let into the cupholder panel. Koons deliberately chose the Bavarian blue from the BMW logo for these inscriptions, referencing the marque with his marking.

Under the hood, THE 8 X JEFF KOONS is powered by a 4.4-litre turbocharged V8 engine that produces a maximum power of 530 PS (523 bhp - 390 kW) at 5500 rpm and a maximum torque of 750 N.m at 1800 rpm. The power is transmitted to the road by the all-wheel drive (AWD) with an 8-speed Automatic gearbox. The car can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in just 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 250 kmph. For road holding,

handling behaviour and ride comfort, the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé has Independent Double Wishbones, coil springs, front and rear suspension and Multilink. Stock tire sizes are 245/35 on 20-inch rims at the front, and 275/30 on 20-inch rims at the rear. For stopping power, the 8 Series Gran Coupé braking system includes the innovative addition of Vented Discs at the front and Vented Discs at the rear.

Koons describes the THE 8 X JEFF KOONS as “his dream car”, combining sportiness and flashiness with minimalist and conceptual design elements. The design lines grow bigger from the hood towards the trunk, creating a sense of forward movement, while the “POP!” and vapour thrust design elements add to the overall impact of the car.

THE 8 X JEFF KOONS comes complete with a special plaque and certificate of authenticity signed by Koons and BMW Chairman Oliver Zipse adding a unique momento to an already exceptional collectors’ opportunity.

With just delivery kms on the clock, whether this is a road car or a piece of art is up for debate. At Webb’s, we think that’s not mutually exclusive. With minuscule build numbers of only 99 built worldwide, this is the only one available in New Zealand. This provides excellent investment potential for art and car enthusiasts alike, making it a highly sought-after collector’s item.

The vehicle will be sold unregistered and without a current WOF.

1986 Jaguar XJ6 Series III 4.2 Auto

Chassis: SAJJAALP3CC460114

Engine: 8L211576

est $12,000 — $15,000

For over two decades, Jaguar’s XJ series of saloons provided a distinctively British take on luxury cars. They made significant inroads into a market that German brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW had long dominated. While the German marques may have boasted Teutonic levels of engineering, they could not match Jaguar’s traditional strengths of ride quality and inviting cabin ambience.

The Series 3 XJ, which debuted in March 1979, marked the ultimate development of Jaguar’s classic XJ series and featured a number of key improvements, from Pininfarina’s elegantly updated styling to a range of mechanical upgrades. With better build quality and greater visibility thanks to a larger glass area, the Series 3 proved to be much more than a stopgap before the new XJ40 arrived, and it remained in production well into the 1980s. Innovations such as a five-speed manual gearbox and a revised range of XK engines with larger valves and fuel injection made the XJ6 smoother and more powerful than ever before. Although external changes were minimal, with only pepper-pot alloy wheels and revised badging, all XJs received a new centre console and improved front seats. Leather upholstery was standard, while cloth could be ordered as a no-cost option. The Series 3 XJ6 is a classic Jaguar saloon that can be driven every day, and many spares and specialists are available to maintain them. With its quietness and comfort described by some motoring journalists as ‘eerie’, the Series 3 XJ6 is an enduring classic.

This particular UK-assembled example, with 185,000 kilometres on the clock, was delivered new to the CEO of a major industrial multinational in New Zealand on August 25, 1986. We assume it was a special order, as few new XJs were sold in this period. The car features leather seats and a steering wheel, a hi-stop light for safety, LED lighting, a toolkit with Jaguar-branded spanners, logoed mudflaps, and a handbook. The current owner has had the car since 2011, with servicing mainly undertaken by a well-known independent marque specialist. The veneer of the centre console shows some wear, but overall the interior and exterior are in good condition, apart from the non-functional air conditioning.

The car has always been garaged and is equipped with Bluetooth. This XJ6 is a fine example of one of Britain’s finest automobiles, a testament to the care of the last owner and a worthy investment for the next.

The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

For over seventy years, Land Rover has been at the forefront of agricultural off-roading capability, synonymous with ruggedness, reliability, and, more recently, luxury. The Land Rover Tipper was designed for hauling and dumping heavy loads such as sand, gravel, and construction debris. It was a versatile vehicle and became popular for construction sites and other heavy-duty applications.

This particular Land Rover Tipper is a rare factory-built model, identified by its original PTO drive, gland packed rams, and tank. It was manufactured by Land Rover’s separate agricultural division. Under the hood, it boasts a robust 2.25-litre four-cylinder engine producing 77 horsepower and 129 lb-ft of torque (175 N.m), paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case for plenty of low-end torque and off-road capability.

Originally purchased in Wellington in 1967, this New Zealand new example was used by a family in Dannevirke for almost 40 years on their farm for feeding and deer hunting and was last road registered in 1998. In 2016, the vendor purchased the vehicle and embarked on a comprehensive six-year restoration by local marque experts. The engine, gearbox, chassis, drive shaft, doors, upholstery, brakes, and pine deck were all restored, with a bare metal respray in Land Rover green.

The vehicle is now running well, with approximately 55,000 miles on the speedometer, and retains its original black plates. This Land Rover Tipper is a true rarity, sensitively restored to ‘tip’ for decades more.

The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

Engine: 67610832

est $30,000 — $40,000

The 2005 Porsche Cayman, named after a species of snarling alligator, was launched to immediate critical acclaim from the world’s motoring press, celebrated as one of the besthandling sports cars on the market regardless of price. The Cayman S featured a lightweight chassis and suspension tuned for handling and precision. Its mid-engine layout on rear-wheel drive won lots of fans, being a commercial success for Porsche sitting between a Boxster and 911 in the Porsche line-up.

This New Zealand new example features the more powerful ‘S’ motor of 3.4 litres creating 291 bhp. With 127,000kms on the clock, it has been used as a daily driver by the vendor who has owned it for the past 12 years, being one of four owners. Finished in steely grey, it presents itself well with a main dealer service history present. The transmission is automatic, and the wheel rims are tidy, having not been kerbed. The IMS bearing is not an issue as the vehicle was manufactured prior to the known Porsche issue.

Coupled with an extensive list of options that includes the electric comfort seats, rear wiper and Xenon lights, this is an opportunity not to be missed by anyone seeking one of Stuttgart’s finest with a known history.

The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

Terms and Conditions

1. Background to the Terms used in these Conditions

The conditions that are listed below contain terms that are used regularly and may need explanation. They are as follows:

“the Buyer” means the person with the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer.

“the Lot” means any item depicted within the sale for auction and in particular the item or items described against any lot number in the catalogue.

“the Hammer price” means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a lot.

“the Buyer’s Premium” means the charge payable by the Buyer to the auction house as a percentage of the hammer price.

“the Reserve” means the lowest amount at which Webb’s has agreed with the Seller that the lot can be sold.

“Forgery” means an item constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole, with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue. Accordingly, no lot shall be capable of being a forgery by reason of any damage or restoration work of any kind (Including re-painting).

“the insured value” means the amount that Webb’s in its absolute discretion from time to time shall consider the value for which a lot should be covered for insurance (whether or not insurance is arranged by Webb’s).

All values expressed in Webb’s catalogues (in any format) are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD$). All bids, “hammer price”, “reserves”, “Buyers Premium” and other expressions of value are understood by all parties to be in New Zealand Dollars (NZD$) unless otherwise specified.

2. Webb’s Auctions as Agent

Except as otherwise stated, Webb’s acts as agent for the Seller. The contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.

3. Before the Sale

3.1. Examination of Property Prospective Buyers are strongly advised to examine in person any property in which they are interested before the Auction takes place. Neither Webb’s nor the Seller provides any guarantee in relation to the nature of the property apart from the Limited warranty in the paragraph below. The property is otherwise sold “AS IS”

2. Catalogue and Other Descriptions

All statements by Webb’s in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by Webb’s of any kind. References in the catalogue entry to the condition report to damage or restoration are

for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. Neither Webb’s nor The Seller is responsible for any errors or omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material.

Images are measured height by width (sight size). Illustrations are provided only as a guide and should not be relied upon as a true representation of colour or condition. Images are not shown at a standard scale. Mention is rarely made of frames (which may be provided as supplementary images on the website) which do not form part of the lot as described in the printed catalogue.

An item bought “on Extension” must be paid for in full before it will be released to the purchaser or his/ her agreed expertising committee or specialist. Payments received for such items will be held “in trust” for up to 90 days or earlier, if the issue of authenticity has been resolved more quickly. Extensions must be requested before the auction. Foreign buyers should note that all transactions are in New Zealand Dollars so there may be a small exchange rate risk. The costs associated with acquiring a good opinion or certificate will be carried by the purchaser. If the item turns out to be forged or otherwise incorrectly described, all reasonable costs will be borne by the vendor.

3. Buyers Responsibility

All property is sold “as is” without representation or warranty of any kind by Webb’s or the Seller. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue by requesting a condition report.

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.
