Rare: 1985 Porsche 911 Gemballa (959 look)

Update 3/3:  The Porsche didn’t meet reserve at EUR27050. 

From 26/2:

The Porsche 911 has been around for a long time. It is without doubt one of the most iconic sports cars ever. It has developed quite a bit over the years since its inception in the 1960s. In the 1980s that development culminated (for a while) in the Porsche 959. One of the fastest and most exclusive Porsches ever made.

Great looks: 1976 MGB GT Sebring replica

Update 3/3:  This fabulous MGB didn’t meet reserve at GBP4950 and has been relisted. Links updated.

From 24/2: 

Here it is. The perfect base for an engine swap. And what a bargain that would be if the price is right for the car of course. The MGB GT is a not too contrary-looking car, but we all know they were a bit underpowered. The owner has created the perfect Sebring replica, but has “only” fitted a reconditioned, what we suspect pretty standard, 1800 pushrod engine in the car. Fitting a Rover V8 instead shouldn’t mean compromising on reliability …

Cool cat: 1964 Jaguar Mk II 3.8 racer

Update 25/2:   This Jag sold for GBP15000.

From 20/2:

We like the colour orange on older cars. It gives older cars a more modern look without being too contemporary, if you know what we mean. Maybe not … well anyway … This Jaguar race car looks absolutely stunning in orange. It has been completely rebuilt and is even road legal.

Rare Beemer: 1965 BMW 3200CS V8 by Bertone

Update 26/2:  The Beemer didn’t meet its reserve at GBP8850 and has now been relisted. Links have been updated.

From 19/2: 

For sale in Manchester in the UK is this lovely and pretty rare BMW 3200CS Coupe, designed by Bertone. This car was produced in between the legendary Type 503/507 and the 1960s 2800CS series. It was fitted with a V8 engine and capable of 125mph. Around 600 of these cars were produced.  It was based on the Type 503 chassis and is a very thin B-pillar, 2+2 coupe with an aluminium bonnet and bootlid.

Needs completing: 1962 Maserati 3500 GTi

Update 19/2:  The auction was ended early with a Buy-It-Now of EUR39800. No surprise there really …

From 17/2:

Older sports tourers are seriously cool in our opinion, and especially these older Maserati GTs. This particular one for sale on ebay Germany needs completion and is unfortunately missing a few bits and pieces. It is a Maserati 3500 GTi (2a serie), an aluminium-bodied, fuel-injected 2+2 coupe designed by Carrozzeria Touring. About 500 were made.

Homologation special: 1986 Citroen BX 4TC

Back in August we wrote about a special rallycar coming up for sale.  It was the car on the left, a Citroen BX 4TC Evo. Well, surprise surprise, now the car on the right has also made its way onto Ebay. And the offers being made are probably still a bit off the reserve.
