The new Abbott Residences will soon add their own layer to this story, with move-in anticipated from July 2026. The show apartment is now available to view by private appointment, offering a first look at these beautiful residences.

The one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments combine classic design with contemporary finishes, creating a refined canvas for personal expression. Generously proportioned interiors feature full-height windows, double glazing, and high ceilings, enhancing natural light and a sense of space, while integrated airconditioning ensures comfort throughout the year.

Chef’s kitchens, sculleries, and full laundry rooms support a practical, clutter-free lifestyle with every detail carefully considered to elevate daily living. Stateof-the-art security has also been a priority in the design with secure underground parking and keyless entry.

Atop of Abbott Residences, residents will be able to enjoy a rooftop terrace with expansive views of the city and harbour.

An elevated sanctuary will serve as the perfect backdrop for sunset drinks, casual gatherings, or quiet moments of reflection.

Generus Living, the group behind The Foundation, has been deliberate in crafting an environment where every detail counts. This meticulous attention is what ensures the precinct isn’t just beautiful, but deeply liveable, too.

THE LAKE HOUSE

Designed in collaboration with London-based architect Alex Wilcock and built to exacting standards by Triple Star Construction, the home is a careful composition of proportion, material and view. The result is refined, quietly theatrical architecture that never shouts, it simply draws you to the water and lets the light do the talking.

Works of Art

We are now inviting entries for our upcoming Works of Art live auction, taking place on Monday 24 August at 6.30pm.

As New Zealand’s foremost auction series for blue‑chip, museum‑quality art, Webb’s continues to deliver strong results for significant works and collections. This was underlined by our March 2026 Works of Art auction, which achieved total sales of $2.7 million.

A highlight of the sale was the collection of Sir Miles Warren, presented from his Ōhinetahi homestead and featuring works by Pat Hanly, Brent Wong and Ralph Hotere. The collection attracted wide media

attention, achieved a 90% sell‑through rate, and raised $500,000 to support Ōhinetahi’s ongoing artistic and cultural legacy.

For August, we welcome high‑quality paintings, sculpture and mixed‑media works. Complimentary, no‑obligation appraisals are available, with tailored advice and access to Webb’s national collector network.

Webb’s Celebrates 50 Years —as New Zealand’s Leading Auction House

Since its founding in 1976, Webb’s has stood as a meeting place between culture and commerce, connecting collectors with objects that define their era. As Webb’s celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, this landmark moment invites reflection on the artworks, objects, and stories that have shaped its legacy, and on the wider role our auctions play in recording the cultural history of a nation.

Caolán McAleer Director of

As part of our 50th anniversary celebrations, Webb’s is presenting an exhibition that reflects on the many significant moments that have shaped our past. To support this, we are seeking to loan exceptional works purchased through Webb’s, as well as archival material, photographs, and personal anecdotes connected to the auction house and its place within Aotearoa’s cultural landscape.

Together, these contributions will help tell the story of an auction house shaped by its people, its collections, and five decades of extraordinary moments. Should you have an object, image, or story you would like to share for consideration, please contact us.

This year, Webb’s celebrates its 50th anniversary, marking a significant milestone as New Zealand’s premier multidepartment auction house. Founded in 1976 by Peter Webb, a pioneering figure in the country’s art world, Webb’s was established with a vision to broaden access to art and collectables and to introduce a new, dynamic auction culture to Aotearoa. From its beginnings, Webb’s has played a defining role in shaping the nation’s secondary market, bringing together expertise, scholarship, and innovation across a wide range of collecting categories.

Over the past five decades, Webb’s has evolved into a trusted institution known for excellence in its respective departments: Art; Decorative Arts; Asian Art; Collectors’ Cars, Motorcycles, & Automobilia; Fine Jewels, Watches, & Luxury Accessories; Fine Wines & Whiskies, The Estate, and Material Culture. Through record-setting auctions, landmark consignments, and an enduring commitment to curatorial rigour, Webb’s has united collectors with objects of outstanding beauty, rarity, and significance, locally and internationally.

Central to this success has been Webb’s dedication to specialist knowledge, meticulous valuation, highly targeted marketing and meaningful engagement with New Zealand’s thriving cultural community.

To mark this significant anniversary, Webb’s is to present a series of special initiatives throughout 2026, including an exhibition, accompanying publication, and educational programmes that reflect on our history and look toward the future.

“Auctions serve as cultural mirrors, reflecting a society’s evolving values, aesthetics, and ambitions. Across its 50-year history, Webb’s has borne witness to profound shifts and pendulum swings in collecting across all categories. Together, these movements trace the changing contours of taste, revealing what each era deems culturally significant, enduring, and investment-worthy. Our history as New Zealand’s leading auction house is indelibly tied to that of our nation’s creative history and cultural evolution.”

—Caolán McAleer, Director of Marketing & Operations, Webb’s.

This anniversary is more than a celebration; it is a reaffirmation of Webb’s role at the forefront of New Zealand’s art and wider secondary markets and an investment in the country’s cultural future.

We look forward to celebrating this anniversary together with the people who have helped us reach this exciting milestone.

Full Throttle: A Successful Return to Dedicated Motorcycle Sales

Motorcycles Online, April 2026

Webb’s Motorcycles Online, which closed in early April, proved a marquee event for the New Zealand motorcycle community, with nearly $400,000 worth of machines changing hands and a 70% sell through rate underscoring steady demand for well‑ curated, collector‑led offerings. The sale brought together a tightly composed group of enthusiast bikes, blending modern icons, limited production exotica, and distinctive contemporary design, drawing strong engagement from a loyal and knowledgeable bidder base.

Leading the results was the 2008 Ducati Desmosedici RR #449, a raw, MotoGP derived flagship and one of the defining collector motorcycles of the modern era, which achieved $97,750. Alongside it, the 2001 Ducati MH900E

#25—an early numbered example of Ducati’s millennial era design statement and a true modern classic—realised $41,194.15, reflecting continued strength for low production, design led machines. Adding a distinctly New Zealand dimension, the 2025 FTN Streetdog 80 by John Reynolds, a unique artist commissioned electric motorcycle, sold for $9,200, blending New Zealand contemporary art with emerging motorcycle culture.

Altogether, the result reinforces Webb’s position at the centre of the local collector motorcycle market, demonstrating that while the buyer pool remains selective, standout, well provenanced machines continue to attract confident bidding and deliver strong outcomes Another motorcycles online sale will be held next year, get in touch to discuss consignment.

Quiet Resolution: Brilliance in Balance

Chris Wiseman Head of Collectors’ Cars chris@webbs.co.nz

The Mercedes‑Benz W113 “Pagoda” remains one of the more quietly resolved designs of the post‑war period. Its defining concave hardtop, more structural than decorative, allowed for improved rigidity while maintaining a light, open cabin with excellent visibility. The body itself is notably disciplined, flat planes, restrained brightwork, and carefully judged proportions. These cues reflect a broader shift within Mercedes‑Benz at the time toward clarity and engineering intent over flourish. One might even be able to look at the distinct form of the Pagoda ‑ halfway between the curvaceousness of early cars and the boxiness of those to come and see a precise mid point in 100 years of Mercedes Benz design philosophy.

That underlying balance continues to define its position in today’s market. The Pagoda sits in a category that appeals to both established collectors and newer buyers: recognisable, usable, and underpinned by strong engineering. Unlike more overtly sporting contemporaries, it offers a measured driving experience paired

with genuine practicality, and this duality has helped sustain long‑term demand. While international values have levelled following earlier growth, the market remains firm for well‑presented examples with good provenance and correct specification. In right‑hand‑drive form, particularly, there is a clear premium in markets such as New Zealand.

Recent local results illustrate this point. A Dunkel Green example offered in July, 2025 achieved $352,000, presenting as a complete and visually compelling car, while a white example realised $319,000 in December, reinforcing depth of demand across different colourways and trims. Beyond the auction room, a further Pagoda from a distinguished South Island collection was sold privately to a Webb’s client. Taken together, these outcomes reflect not volatility, but consistency, where buyers are selective, but remain engaged where quality is evident.

The strength of this segment locally is closely tied to the Pagoda’s broader cultural position. It aligns naturally with a sustained

interest in premium mid‑century European design, where objects are valued as much for proportion and material as for function. The W113 sits comfortably within that environment. It is as at home alongside furniture and design pieces of the 1960s as it is within a conventional car collection, and that crossover appeal broadens its buyer base. This has become increasingly relevant, particularly as collecting trends in New Zealand continue to evolve.

There is also a level of transparency around the model that supports confidence. The Pagoda is well documented, mechanically straightforward by the standards of its era, and supported by a strong global supply of parts and expertise. Buyers understand what constitutes a good car whether originality, quality of restoration, or specification ‑ and are generally prepared to act when those elements align.

A historic road test for the ‘Pagoda’ touts it’s engineering finesse and high-quality construction.

right

Lot 26. 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL ‘Pagoda’ (W113) est $250,000—$275,000

In this sense, it is a market that rewards clarity rather than speculation, and therefore one built for mass appeal.

Looking ahead, emphasis is likely to remain on standout examples. An upcoming offering a red, RHD 1969 car sits firmly within that bracket. Late‑production models benefit from incremental refinements, and when combined with strong presentation and desirable configuration, they tend to attract and command strong attention. Cars of this nature align closely with current buyer expectations: immediately usable, visually outstanding, and well positioned within an established international market.

The Pagoda is neither overstated nor austere, neither fragile nor over‑engineered. It offers brilliance in balance and a degree of usability that encourages ownership rather than preservation alone, while retaining the design factor that underpins long‑term desirability.

The result is a model that has settled into a mature and dependable position, supported by steady demand and a clear understanding of what defines quality. On the balance of 2025’s auction results, the ‘Pagoda’ is here to stay.

Private Sales —Beyond the Auction Floor

In November 2025, Webb’s successfully handled the discreet private sale of a genuine right‑hand drive 1969 Mercedes‑Benz 280SL ‘Pagoda’, manual, with just 78,000km from new. Presented in outstanding original condition and accompanied by its handbook, tool kit and spares, transferring quietly from a distinguished South Island collection to a new North Island custodian.

Such transactions underscore Webb’s strength in private sales. For over 50 years, our reputation as New Zealand’s

premier auction house has been founded on trusted relationships, discretion and access to an extensive national and international network of serious collectors. We specialise in cars of significance and understand when a sale is best conducted away from the open market.

Whether acquiring or selling privately, clients benefit from Webb’s global reach, depth of expertise and carefully cultivated client base, enabling exceptional results with complete confidentiality.

Collectors’ Cars: Top 10 Prices

August 2024 2

The CLK DTM AMG Cabriolet was produced in limited numbers—just 100 coupes and 80 convertibles between 2004 and 2006. Built to commemorate Mercedes Benz’s 2003 DTM win, the CLK DTM was the pinnacle of AMG’s track focused lineup. The unusual provenance of this vehicle made it a hit with the media and international buyers, resulting in dozens of pre auction enquiries and an eventual sale to the UK.

Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6

Only built in 1993 with a production run of 1,437 and a minuscule 62 in RHD, it is one of the rarest cars Webb’s has had the privilege of offering and indeed one of the rarest Porsches in the world.

Foreword by Chris Wiseman, Head of Collectors’ Cars

June’s Collectors’ Cars, Motorcycles & Automobilia is the first entry of this category for 2026 and, it’s also the first time we’ve included 22 cars for an auction in our Mt Eden gallery. The scope and variety of this catalogue, then, returns to levels unseen since our offerings of 2023, indicative of renewed activity in the market.

2026 also marks a significant milestone for Webb’s, our 50th year at the forefront of New Zealand auctions. Collector’s Cars have at many points in our history played a large part in the role Webb’s plays as a driver and shaper of markets.

In 1990, Sotheby’s Australia hosted an Auckland sale in association with Peter Webb Galleries ‑ running through 50 lots at what was then The Princes Wharf Exhibition Hall. A 1974 Ferrari Dino 246GT sold on the day for $200,000 NZD — then a princely sum.

In 2011, Webb’s broke an auction record with the sale of a Ferrari 250 Lusso for $1.4m. Eight years later the department made a triumphant return with the immensely successful Roy Savage Collection, closely followed a few months later by the First Class Classics Collection.

In this decade — the 20s — we’ve sold over $20 million worth of Collectors’ Cars. And counting.

Last year I had the privilege of assisting the I Have a Dream Foundation in raising funds for Tikipunga High School, taking the rostrum to sell an MGA Mk1 mechanically restored by students from the school’s Automotive Trades Academy. The MG club kindly hosted the auction which saw the car sell for $30,000 as a part of their AGM. It was a wonderful way to give back and reach out to the community, both within and without the classic car scene. It reinforced in my mind the centrality of Webb’s Collectors’ Cars in that community, and what we can achieve as a result.

2026 also marks my first year as Head of Collectors’ Cars, Motorcycles & Automobilia. During my time at Webb’s we’ve sold a Rolls Royce graced by Queen Elizabeth II, a Mercedes Benz with just 179 counterparts globally, and, in just five months, over $1 million worth of the beautiful Mercedes Benz ‘Pagoda.’

The ‘Pagoda’ finds its brilliance not only in its beauty, but in its balance. It is simple, useable and design focused, so it’s also broadly in demand. Lot 26 in this catalogue should be no different, a RHD example in red. It is a fitting car with which to usher in our 50th year.

It’s joined at the headline by an excellent Sunbeam Tiger (Lot 7), a rare icon of mid century British high performance, engineered with input from Carroll Shelby, and built to the tune of just 7,083 worldwide.

We are also privileged to offer the collection of the late Jim Wilson — founder of Phantom Billstickers, and a creative pioneer in Auckland and New Zealand. We are grateful to his family for allowing us the chance to convey these four outstanding Volkswagen’s and an amazing 1967 Saab to new homes.

I warmly invite you to enjoy your reading of this catalogue, and of course attend the auction’s launch and week of viewing, not forgetting the big day itself.

Lot 1 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL280

Lot 1 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL280 (R129)

engine 11292330577161

chassis WDB1290592F189576

est $30,000 $40,000

Introduced in 1989, the R129 SL marked a clean break from the long running R107, bringing a more modern, aerodynamic design while maintaining Mercedes Benz’s reputation for engineering depth and refinement. Initially offered with a range of six , eight , and twelve cylinder engines, the line up evolved in 1992 to include the SL 280 and SL 320, both powered by 24 valve straight six units. The SL 280 delivered strong performance for the class, combined with the usability and build quality that defined the model.

As expected of a flagship Mercedes Benz of the period, the R129 was comprehensively specified, with features including electrically adjustable memory seats, automatic climate control, anti lock braking, traction control, and a fully integrated safety system with airbags. The cabin was finished in leather with timber trim, reflecting the car’s positioning as a luxury grand tourer rather than an out and out sports car.

This example was first registered in New Zealand on 7 December 1999 and is finished in a brown metallic hue with a champagne tone. It presents in notably well kept condition, with unmarked alloy wheels, factory floor mats, and a tidy interior. Equipment includes electric windows, rear aerial, automatic transmission, and a removable hardtop, accompanied by two keys. The engine bay and boot are described as clean and orderly, consistent with the overall presentation. With just 54,000km recorded, this is a low mileage and well preserved SL 280, representative of the durability and understated appeal of the R129 series.

The vehicle will be offered with current WOF and registration. The personalised plate 'Y2KSL' is included with sale.

Lot 2 1987 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 QV

engine R01544611828

The Alfa Romeo Spider, particularly in its later Series 3 and Series 4 iterations, represents the final evolution of a design first introduced in 1966. By the late 1980s, the Spider 2.0 QV combined the model’s established Pininfarina styling with fuel injected twin cam performance and improved usability, while retaining the open top character that had long defined Alfa Romeo’s sporting image.

This left hand drive example is identified by its Alfa Romeo Classiche certificate as a 1987 built Spider 2.0 QV, although New Zealand’s system has it as first registered in Europe in 1989. While registration records suggest Sweden, it is understood the car was supplied via Switzerland. Importantly, the car retains its original documentation, including import and shipping papers, handbooks, and the Classiche certificate confirming its specification and build details.

The car was first registered in New Zealand in 2014 and presents today as a complete and usable example. It is fitted with both a canvas soft top and a removable metal hardtop, broadening its practicality across seasons. The interior and overall presentation appear consistent with careful ownership, and the accompanying documentation adds useful context to its European history.

Offered from a deceased estate, the car shows a recorded mileage of 98,999km. A well documented example of the Spider 2.0 QV, combining known provenance with the enduring appeal of Alfa Romeo’s long running open sports car.

The vehicle will be offered with current WOF and registration.

Lot 3 1971 Land Rover Series IIA 88"

engine 24140765a chassis 24320087g

est $35,000 $45,000

The Land Rover Series IIA represents the model in its purest and most enduring form. Developed from Rover’s original 1948 concept as a simple, go anywhere agricultural vehicle, it became a fixture of rural life in New Zealand, valued for its toughness, adaptability and ease of repair. By the late 1950s the formula had been refined, with the Series II introducing a wider track, improved mechanicals and the now defining curved shoulder line, while retaining its core virtues of aluminium bodywork over a galvanised chassis, straightforward engineering and true field serviceability. Its reputation was quickly cemented through farm use and landmark expeditions such as the Oxford and Cambridge overland journeys to Singapore, establishing the Land Rover as the definitive exploration vehicle, while widespread agricultural, military and government use secured its global standing. Introduced in 1961 and built through to 1971, the Series IIA is widely regarded as the point at which Land Rover got the formula exactly right – rugged, highly usable and easily repairable.

This example carries an especially strong New Zealand story. Sold new in 1971 to the DSIR for geological survey work, it later passed to the Post Office in Dunedin before being acquired by Forward Specialities, the well known Henderson Ford and Land Rover specialist. From there it remained within a tight North Auckland ownership circle, later passing to Brian Bracey in Huapai and then to Des Paulsen, who used it on the family farm at Muriwai before retiring it in 1987 at 100,557mi. By the time the vendor acquired it, the Land Rover was well used but fundamentally sound, showing around 130,000mi – modest for

its age – and with unusually well known provenance, having remained within a closely connected group of owners. Its restoration was then undertaken on a patient, open cheque book basis over approximately three years by Top of Range Automotive, with a focus on returning the vehicle to as new condition while preserving its integrity. The chassis was fully re galvanised, the body carefully rebuilt and refinished, and the vehicle repainted from its original grey into a period correct green that both suits the car and reflects early Land Rover tradition.

This vehicle remains largely faithful to factory specification, with only a couple of sensible and reversible changes. The fitted seats are later Series III items for improved comfort, and a period style overdrive is present. While not originally standard, the overdrive meaningfully improves usability, allowing more relaxed cruising at modern road speeds. The rebuilt four cylinder engine is noted to run smoothly and quietly, reinforcing the model’s reputation for durability even if outright performance was never its focus. Since the end of Defender production in 2016, early Land Rovers have transitioned from working vehicles into established collectibles, with strong ongoing demand in markets such as New Zealand where their rural heritage runs deep. A thoughtfully restored and highly original example, it captures exactly why these vehicles continue to resonate: honest design, proven utility and authenticity.

est $25,000 $30,000

The Silver Spirit II represents a refined evolution of Rolls Royce’s long running luxury saloon, combining traditional craftsmanship with incremental mechanical and interior improvements that characterised the marque through the late 1980s and early 1990s. Subtle updates to ride quality, braking systems and cabin ergonomics make the Series II a more resolved and usable car while retaining the quiet authority expected of the model.

This example has covered 123,910km and was imported to New Zealand from Singapore in 1999. Finished in a deep metallic green over a light cream leather interior with extensive walnut veneer throughout, it presents in a classic and desirable Rolls Royce colour combination. The cabin remains as intended – soft Connolly leather, deep carpets and substantial timber trim –creating a space that prioritises comfort over all else.

The car has seen use as a wedding vehicle and currently holds a valid Certificate of Fitness. The present owner has maintained the car for the past 12 years, with servicing and any required repair work carried out by Colgray Motors, a recognised specialist in the marque locally.

A well kept example of the Spirit II, offering traditional Rolls Royce presence and usability in a form that remains both practical and accessible within the market.

The vehicle will be offered with current COF and registration.

The California is a front engined grand tourer introduced in 2008 as Ferrari’s first model with a retractable hardtop and a front mounted V8. It marked a significant shift in the brand’s design philosophy, offering a more versatile, everyday Ferrari experience.

Powered by a 4.3 litre V8 engine generating 453hp, it features a 7 speed dual clutch transmission and delivers 0 100kmph acceleration in approximately 4 seconds with a top speed of 310kmph — a figure achieved through over 1000 hours of use of a wind tunnel during development. Combining high performance with comfort, the California blends Ferrari’s racing heritage with modern touring capabilities.

This Azzuro California example arrived here from Singapore in 2020, and since that time has had one New Zealand owner. It has subsequently travelled 37,767km, and is regularly serviced by Continental Cars. Accompanying the car are its handbooks and service history.

The sixth generation Porsche 911 (997), introduced in 2005, marked a return to more traditional design cues, drawing clear inspiration from the earlier 993 while retaining the familiar 911 silhouette. Most notably, the headlights reverted to the classic round “bug eye” form, replacing the 996’s more controversial design. The interior was similarly reworked, blending modern refinement with cues from earlier cars. At launch, the range comprised the rear wheel drive Carrera and higher output Carrera S, followed by the all wheel drive Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S introduced later in 2005 for the 2006 model year. The 997 is now widely regarded as a high point in the model’s evolution, combining usability with a more analogue driving character than later iterations.

This New Zealand new example was first registered on 29 November 2007 and is finished in Meteor Grey Metallic (LM7W AT). It presents as a well optioned car, specified with a special leather interior, Porsche embossed headrests, heated front seats, and both Sport and carbon trim packages. Further factory and aftermarket features include 19 inch wheels, sunroof, rear wiper, leather steering wheel, Porsche branded floor mats, and a Fabspeed exhaust. The car is fitted with a Tiptronic transmission and has been slightly lowered.

Service records indicate consistent maintenance, supporting its history as a well kept example. Accompanying accessories include a car cover and polishing kit. Recorded mileage is approximately 82,000km.

Lot 7 1966 Sunbeam Tiger

engine 6524-B19Kc

chassis B382001703

est $110,000 $125,000

The Sunbeam Tiger stands as one of the defining Anglo American hybrids of the 1960s, born from Rootes Group’s collaboration with Carroll Shelby following the success of the AC Cobra. By installing Ford’s 260ci V8 into the Sunbeam Alpine’s compact chassis, the result was a markedly more potent sports car, producing around 165bhp, nearly double that of the Alpine. Introduced in 1964 and assembled by Jensen in the United Kingdom using bodies from Pressed Steel and drivetrains from Ford in the United States, the Tiger delivered strong performance, capable of reaching 100kmph in under 10 seconds and a top speed in excess of 180kmph. Later Series II cars adopted the 289ci V8, though total production remained relatively limited at just over 5,000 units.

This example was sold new through Knox Motors of Temple City, California, to JG and PB Hobbs, remaining in their care until 1970. It then passed to another California owner, who retained the car until 2002 before bringing it to New Zealand for a Sunbeam event. It was subsequently acquired by a Tauranga based enthusiast, remaining in long term ownership before passing to the current vendor three years ago.

During its time in Tauranga, the car was professionally converted to right hand drive, with compliance documentation present. The work included a general clean up of the body, with the underbody now presenting in notably tidy condition. The Mediterranean Blue paintwork is described as original, and the interior likewise appears largely intact, with seats retaining good structure. The odometer currently reads 474mi, though true mileage is unknown.

A photographic record of the right hand drive conversion accompanies the car, along with a soft top and tonneau cover. Also included is an excerpt from The Book of Norman, regarded as a key reference for the Sunbeam Tiger, along with additional model related literature.

A rare and well documented example of this limited production model, offering strong performance and clear historical interest.

Produced from 1962 to 1969, the Daimler 2.5 V8 (later V8 250) marked a significant shift for the marque, being the first model based on a Jaguar platform, the first with unitary construction, and the last to use a Daimler designed engine. Its standout feature is the Edward Turner designed hemispherical head V8, first seen in the SP250, which gave the car its reputation for smooth, near silent performance. With a top speed of around 112mph and characteristic refinement rather than outright pace, it was always more of a compact grand tourer than a sporting saloon. With just over 17,600 produced, it remains the most successful model in Daimler’s history.

This example was sold new in New Zealand by Reid Motors of Dunedin, first registered on 5 August 1966, and presents today with a lovely, honest patina. Finished in Carmine Red with a well preserved wood and leather interior, it shows 68,358mi and has clearly benefited from ongoing care. It features electronic ignition, Jaguar power steering, a stainless steel exhaust, upper cylinder lubrication system, rebuilt gearbox and a remote alarm, along with more period touches including a tape deck and original jack. The car has also received a new hood lining, sun visors and tyres, and has been regularly maintained by a local independent marque specialist. Offered by a Daimler Club member, it represents a well sorted and increasingly uncommon example, with usability and presentation that set it apart at this level.

chassis Z a R932000 / 01040273

est $80,000 $100,000

A factory built Alfa Romeo 156 Group N competition car, supplied new through Alfa Sport New Zealand and constructed by Alfa Corse in 1998. This example is understood to be the only right hand drive Group N 156 produced, and effectively the only factory built FIA homologated Group N car completed in this configuration.

Alfa Sport, established by Bob and Chris Barry as Alfa Romeo’s motorsport division in New Zealand, identified the 156 Group N as a practical entry into circuit racing. Unlike a converted road car, the Group N 156 was supplied by Alfa Corse as a complete, factory built competition car, assembled within Fiat’s competition department alongside contemporary Lancia, Alfa Romeo and Fiat race programmes. Built to FIA Group N regulations, this included integrated safety equipment, homologated roll structure, and a competition prepared version of the 2.0 litre Twin Spark engine.

At the time, all Group N 156s were produced exclusively in left hand drive. A request for a right hand drive example was declined outright by the factory. Despite this, the order was advanced internally and the car was built regardless. When Chris Barry later visited Alfa Corse, a senior engineer challenged the claim that a right hand drive car existed and initially refused to accept it, even when shown photographs. It subsequently became clear the build had been authorised and completed while he was absent, resulting in a one off RHD car

constructed to full FIA specification.

Factory documentation confirms chassis ZAR932000 / 01040273 and the installation of a CSAI homologated roll cage, dated July 1998, issued by Fiat Auto Corse. As built, the car represents a genuine works assembled competition chassis rather than a later conversion, distinguishing it from typical Group N entries.

Following delivery to New Zealand, the car was tested at Pukekohe, where it proved notably well balanced in standard form. With no Group N category operating locally, it was campaigned in endurance racing, securing a class win on debut in the Northern Sports Car Club Six Hour race.

The car has since been maintained and rebuilt as required and remains in full competition configuration, including roll cage, stripped interior and race prepared mechanical package.

Presented in period competition livery, this is a rare factory built touring car whose significance lies in its construction. It boasts FIA homologation documentation, a Fiat Auto Corse factory setup data sheet, as well as correspondence with the factory. As a genuine Alfa Corse built anomaly, it sits outside the standard production run and represents a unique outcome of factory involvement in the Group N programme.

The Mk4 R32 marked the beginning of Volkswagen’s ‘R’ performance line, developed as the ultimate iteration of the Golf platform and a step beyond the GTI. Powered by a 3.2 litre VR6 paired with a 6 speed manual and 4MOTION all wheel drive, it combined compact proportions with genuine performance and everyday usability, establishing a template that would carry through future generations of Volkswagen performance models.

New Zealand received a very small allocation, with reports indicating just 32 cars were officially imported new by Volkswagen New Zealand in 2003, making NZ new examples particularly scarce within the local market.

This example was supplied new by Giltrap Group and has remained with a single owner from new, showing 81,000km. It has been consistently serviced by Giltrap and presents as a well maintained and largely original car.

Recent work includes refurbished alloy wheels and replacement headlining in 2022, addressing known wear points while retaining originality. Overall condition is very good, consistent with careful long term ownership.

A rare opportunity to acquire a one owner, NZ new Mk4 R32, combining low local production numbers with strong provenance and increasing recognition as a modern classic.

The Last Fleet: Jim Wilson's Volkswagen Collection

There is a category of collector that does not set out to "Collect" with a capital C. The accumulation happens organically, car by car, over decades, and only in retrospect does the shape of a passion project become clear.

Jim Wilson was one such collector, and the individual vehicles that form The Jim Wilson Collection constitute something rare: the material record of a particular kind of love for motoring.

Wilson was, by most accounts, a difficult person to reduce to a single description. He built Phantom Billstickers from a paste bucket and a Christchurch footpath into a national, multi million dollar business. He shepherded New Zealand iconic pop band The Exponents into a recording contract and, according to Flying Nun founder Roger Shepherd, effectively created the live music ecosystem in Christchurch that gave the label its first wave. He drove a Plymouth Fury through the Mississippi Delta at speeds he admitted to with obvious satisfaction, and once passed 130mph in a Porsche.

But it was the Volkswagen that he returned to, again and again, across his adult life. He passed his driver's licence in April 1968, the day after the Wahine disaster, and spent the decades that followed accumulating, restoring, and writing

about these cars with the same boundless energy that seemed to define everything else around him.

When he passed away in early 2026, he left behind a hand picked selection of vehicles that were of huge significance to him. Why the VW? Wilson himself offered the best answer:

"In my lifetime I have owned probably thirty Volkswagens and I loved every single one of them whether or not one could see the road through the floorboards."

Wilson was often drawn to cars with character rather than cachet: Rovers, he once wrote, "built when England could build cars"; old V8s; things that felt honest. The Volkswagen, stubborn, elemental, and durable, fit that description to a T.

Several of the five vehicles were sourced internationally, restored by specialists he trusted, and kept with a level of attentiveness that bordered on the ceremonial. He wrote about checking fuel lines, fitting fire suppression systems, and,in more than one case, watching them win Best in Show.

The crown jewel is the 1952 Volkswagen Split‑Window Beetle (est. $140,000–$160,000), a matching numbers example sourced in California, imported in 2023, and converted to right hand drive by Revive'm near New Plymouth. It retains its distinctive side vents and original whitewall

tyres, and in 2024 won both Best in Class and Best in Show at the VW Nationals in Kaikōura.

The 1958 Volkswagen Samba Deluxe in red and black (est. $140,000–$160,000) has a history almost perfectly aligned with Wilson's biography. Originally a panel van, it spent time in Christchurch before 1992, was later sign painted and deployed at concerts, then sent to Revive'm for a complete rebuild. It emerged upholstered in brown leather with red trim, with upgraded mechanicals throughout, and won Best in Class and Best in Show in 2025.

The most potent entry is the 1963 Volkswagen Samba Deluxe in blue and white (est. $190,000–$210,000), a 21 window car restored by Hopkins Restoration Works in Mullaway, NSW. Wilson acquired it from a previous owner, reportedly the personal trainer of Hugh Jackman, who, Wilson noted with obvious satisfaction, was often seen driving it around Bondi Beach. Beneath the calm exterior lies a serious performance engine. Wilson's description was characteristically economical: it goes, he wrote, "like a cut cat."

The 1956 Volkswagen Beetle in sage green (est. $30,000–$40,000) is a numbers matching, 6 volt car, faithful to its original electrics. A local mechanic, lifting it on a hoist, declared: "You could turn this car upside down and eat your dinner off it."

The collection's outlier is the 1967 Saab 96 V4 (est. $20,000–$25,000), an idiosyncratic Swedish front wheel drive design with a devoted following and genuine rarity in New Zealand. Wilson mistrusted prestige for its own sake, and the Saab is, in that sense, the most Wilsonian car in the collection.

"The only regrets I have about an impending death are that I can't take Kelly [his wife] with me, nor my dogs, nor my Volkswagens." Jim Wilson, October 2024, from his personal blog.

Wilson spent his life building things for other people to experience: a national poster network, a live music scene, a string of concerts and tours. The cars were, by his own account, among the few things that were simply, entirely his. Suffused by strong personality and passion, these vehicles are now ready to be passed on to new caretakers.

The Volkswagen Type 2 Samba Deluxe represents the most premium and desirable specification within Volkswagen’s early Transporter range, combining commercial underpinnings with enhanced comfort and distinctive styling. By 1963, the Samba had reached its most refined early form, characterised by its expansive glazing, cloth sunroof and bright trim, making it both a practical people mover and an icon of post war design.

This example was imported from Australia in 2021 and presents as a well restored and correctly configured Samba. Restoration work was undertaken by Hopkins Restoration Works of Mullaway, New South Wales, with the vehicle receiving recognition as an award winner during its time in Australia. Importantly, it retains its original mechanical configuration, with engine and chassis plate numbers consistent with a 1963 built Samba.

Following arrival in New Zealand, certification was completed by Metric Nut in Christchurch at a reported cost of approximately $25,000, ensuring compliance for local use. The vehicle presents as a well finished example throughout, combining an authentic colour scheme and interior with a high standard of workmanship evident across both cabin and exterior.

Supporting provenance includes a period magazine article relating to a previous collector owner, with accompanying information suggesting the recorded mileage of approximately 51,228km is credible, though this should be regarded as indicative. Positioned as a well restored and correctly specified Samba Deluxe, this example combines award winning presentation with careful adherence to original configuration.

Finished in red and black, this example has been extensively restored following a varied early life. Prior to 1992 it is believed to have resided in Christchurch, though documentation from this period is limited. After arriving in New Zealand in 2011, it was sign written and used for promotional work at concerts, adding an interesting chapter to its history.

The vehicle subsequently underwent a comprehensive strip down and rebuild over several years by Revivem, resulting in a well finished and carefully considered restoration. While visually faithful to period presentation, it benefits from sympathetic upgrades including a larger engine, improved suspension, reversing camera and a modern stereo system, making it more usable in contemporary conditions. An electronic speedometer has been fitted, now showing 1,814km since completion.

The interior is configured in the classic three bench layout, trimmed in brown leather with red accents in colours appropriate to 1958, and presents to a high standard. Notably, the vehicle was originally a panel van, now comprehensively reconfigured in Deluxe Samba specification. It retains period features including semaphore indicators, reinforcing its early production character.

Recognition on the show circuit underlines the quality of the build, with the vehicle awarded Best of Class and Best of Show in 2025. This is a distinctive and highly usable example of an early Samba, combining correct presentation with thoughtful enhancements and a well documented recent restoration.

It presents as a well finished and usable car, blending early authenticity with careful preparation for New Zealand roads. The car has since been used sparingly and has been kept in secure, dry storage. As with all of Jim’s VW’s it was never driven in the rain.

Notably, the car has been recognised on the show circuit, achieving both Best of Class and Best of Show honours in 2024. It retains a number of charming period features including what Jim called ‘crotchcooler’ vents and the signature split rear window, along with a tidy and sympathetic interior. Naturally, semaphore indicators are present too. Whitewall tyres have been fitted to enhance presentation, with the original tyres retained. The car is offered as a lightly used example, showing 1,564km, likely representing the distance travelled since conversion.

Finished in Saab Cirrus White (code 153), this 1967 Saab 96 V4 represents the early evolution of one of Saab’s most distinctive post war designs. Originally introduced with a two stroke engine, the 96 transitioned to the Ford sourced V4 in 1967, bringing improved torque, usability and broader appeal while retaining the model’s unconventional engineering and rally bred durability. This example is Australian new and was imported to New Zealand in 2024.

The car presents as a well sorted driver, benefitting from a series of practical upgrades aimed at reliability and longevity. The cooling system has been improved with the addition of a Saab 900 expansion tank and an electric fan, operated via the dash mounted accessory switch, providing additional control in traffic or on long climbs. A thoughtful lubrication modification feeds oil to the rocker gear from both top and bottom via a T piece system, addressing known wear issues in early V4

engines. Fluids have recently been changed, and the engine runs on Penrite HPR30 20W 60, with consistent use of 98 octane fuel. The cylinder heads have been previously machined, resulting in a modest increase in compression, with unleaded compatible valves and seats fitted.

Starting is straightforward, typically requiring a small amount of throttle input rather than choke. The car retains its original unassisted braking feel, characteristic of the model, though provision exists to fit a period correct Mk1 Escort booster if desired. The cabin is simple and functional, presented with red cloth upholstery and period correct instrumentation, while the engine bay clearly reflects ongoing, considered ownership. Odometer reads 2,681mi (TMU).

The Jaguar Mk2 remains one of the marque’s most celebrated sporting saloons, combining compact proportions with genuine performance and enduring design appeal. In 3.4 litre form, it offers an ideal balance of pace and usability, particularly when paired with the desirable 4 speed manual gearbox and overdrive.

This example was sold new in New Zealand and has had just three owners from new. It records a genuine 77,636mi, with the current family ownership spanning 36 years, being that of a distinguished New Zealand artist. Acquired in 1989 and retained as part of a private indoor collection, it has seen limited use since, covering less than 2,000mi during this period.

The car underwent a comprehensive but sympathetic refurbishment in the early 1990s, with an emphasis on retaining originality while returning it to a high standard throughout. It now presents as a remarkably complete and unmodified example, retaining its original number plates, factory handbook, workshop manual, warranty card, original radio and Jaguar toolkit—an increasingly rare level of completeness.

Mercedes-Benz 280SL

Lot 26 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL 'Pagoda' (W113)

engine 13098322005255

chassis 11304422008374

est $250,000 $275,000

Unveiled at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show, the W113 SL replaced both the 300SL and 190SL, running through to 1971 with just under 50,000 produced. Nicknamed the “Pagoda” for its distinctive concave hardtop, it remains one of Mercedes Benz’s most recognisable designs. Penned by Paul Bracq and Béla Barényi, and developed under Rudolf Uhlenhaut and Friedrich Geiger, the 280 SL is the final and most developed iteration, powered by a 2.8 litre fuel injected inline six producing 170hp, with independent suspension and four wheel disc brakes. Lightweight aluminium panels and Barényi’s safety led design – including a rigid passenger cell and crumple zones – placed it well ahead of its time.

This example was sold new by Marshalls Motors, Queensland in July 1969, later arriving in New Zealand where it was first registered in November 2005. The current owner has held the car for the past 10 years, being just the second owner in New Zealand.

It is fitted with the desirable factory hardtop, the red paint appears largely of an original nature, and it retains its working Becker Mexico radio. The interior presents well, with good woodwork and factory consistent shut lines, while the engine bay is clean and tidy. The boot is notably well kept with its spare wheel in place, and the car is accompanied by its cover and full handbook set. Minor pitting is present to the rear bumper chrome but not of concern.

The car indicates 78,000mi, has been regularly serviced by a local marque specialist, and is fitted with an automatic transmission. It has recently been tuned and started readily when inspected, with the only fault noted being a non operational clock.

A well presenting and usable Pagoda, well suited to regular driving and enjoyment.

The vehicle will be offered with current WOF and registration. The personalised plate '1969MB' is included with sale.

est $100,000 $110,000

Based on the Continental “R” platform the Bentley Azure made its debut at the 1995 Geneva Motor Show. A protracted two years in development a process Bentley shared with Carrozzeria Pininfarina with the latter building the shell and the substantial powered softtop at their factory in Italy with final assembly being undertaken by Bentley in Crewe.

They are a large car, with seating for adults in superb comfort, presence and style, with sheer size that disguises its’ beautiful flowing lines providing a sense of proportion and elegance.

The vehicle will be offered with current WOF and registration.

Lot 28 2015 Porsche 911 4S Targa

Lot 28 2015 Porsche 911 4S Targa

engine F09735

chassis WP0ZZZ99ZFs 134342

est $160,000 $180,000

The Porsche 911 Targa occupies a distinctive place within the model’s lineage, combining open air motoring with the practicality and rigidity of a fixed roof. While Porsche did not invent the removable roof concept, it formalised the term “Targa”, referencing the Targa Florio endurance race, in which the marque achieved considerable success. First offered on the 1967 911, the Targa evolved over subsequent generations before returning, with the 991 series in 2015, to a form closely aligned with the original concept—featuring the characteristic silver roll hoop, domed rear glass and a fully automated roof mechanism.

This 2015 Porsche 911 Targa (991) was delivered new in the United Kingdom, first registered on 6 July 2015, and imported to New Zealand in October 2016, entering the system in Christchurch. Finished in white, it presents as a well kept and highly usable example of a comparatively uncommon variant within the 991 range, blending the dynamic capability of the coupe with the added theatre of open air driving. The car has travelled 53,000km.

The vehicle has been maintained in accordance with Porsche service schedules, with regular servicing carried out by Giltrap Porsche. It has benefitted from careful ownership, including GardX interior protection applied to the leather, fabric and carpets, along with 3M paint protection. The car has been consistently garaged, contributing to its overall presentation, and has seen only routine maintenance as required, including replacement tyres when needed.

It is optioned with heated seats, 20” Carrera classic wheels, power steering plus, the Sport Design steering wheel, ParkAssist front and rear and comes in a tasteful 2V Carrera White Metallic. Showing single ownership since arrival in New Zealand, this Targa represents a well preserved example of the modern interpretation of an enduring Porsche design, offering both usability and character in equal measure.

The vehicle will be offered with current WOF and registration.

Lot 29 1947 Ford Mercury

engine 6D52902F

chassis 6052902F

est $55,000 $60,000

The Mercury range of the immediate post war period occupied the space between Ford and Lincoln, offering a more refined and better appointed alternative to the standard Ford offerings. The 1941–1948 models are now widely regarded as among the most collectible Mercurys, notable for their cohesive styling and strong mechanical underpinnings. Power is provided by Ford’s flathead V8, developing approximately 100bhp, coupled to a three speed column shift transmission.

Webb’s research indicates that this example is a 1947 model, first registered new in New Zealand on 8 October 1947. Early ownership records confirm period equipment including a fitted radio (currently inoperative), spotlights, bench seating, and exterior aerial. An outside mirror has been added, and the car has been subject to rewiring.

The upholstery is reported to be in good condition, complementing a tidy presentation overall. The exterior benefits from quality paintwork and a set of new tyres, presenting as a well kept example of early post ar motoring in New Zealand. Recorded mileage is 51,000mi.

Webb’s understands that the vehicle is indeed a 1947 model, despite its registration number.

The vehicle will be offered with current WOF and registration. The personalised plate '46MERC' is included with sale.

Lot 30 2016 Bentley Continental GT W12

engine DBD001908

chassis scBFK63W1gc 053339

est $140,000 $160,000

The Bentley Continental GTC Speed represents the epitome of luxury and performance The Continental GT Speed represents the performance flagship of Bentley’s modern grand touring line, developed under Volkswagen ownership and combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary engineering. Powered by Bentley’s 6.0 litre twin turbocharged W12, it produces approximately 600bhp, delivering effortless performance with a 0–100kmph time in the mid four second range and a top speed comfortably above 300kmph. As with all Continentals of the period, the focus is on refined, all weather usability as much as outright speed, with all wheel drive and a six speed automatic transmission.

This example is a Continental GT Speed coupe, not a GTC convertible as sometimes referenced, and presents as a well kept, New Zealand new car. Finished in a dark metallic grey, it sits on multi spoke alloy wheels with Bentley centre caps, with signature mesh grille, quad headlamps, and twin oval exhausts completing the exterior. The “W12” wing badge confirms the top tier engine specification.

The interior is trimmed in light beige perforated leather with contrasting dark dashboard and extensive high gloss wood veneer across the fascia, centre console, and rear compartment. The front seats are electrically adjustable and shaped for long distance comfort, while the rear retains the traditional two seat Continental layout. Interior features visible include dual zone climate control, factory navigation, and Bentley’s characteristic organ stop air vent controls, along with a leather trimmed multifunction steering wheel and machined metal switchgear.

This NZ new example has travelled just 26,785km and has been regularly maintained by Giltrap, with battery replaced very recently. The overall presentation, both inside and out, appears consistent with careful ownership and low mileage.

A well specified and low kilometre example of Bentley’s flagship grand tourer, offering the expected blend of performance, craftsmanship, and everyday usability.

The vehicle will be offered with current WOF and registration.

Lot 31 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK 350 Elegance Cabriolet (C209)

chassis WDB2094562 t058412

est $10,000 $12,000

oFFeReD Without ReseRve

The CLK 350 Cabriolet represents Mercedes Benz’s refined four seat convertible, combining understated styling with genuine usability. Powered by a smooth 3.5 litre V6, it delivers effortless performance well suited to open top touring, with Elegance specification favouring a more classic presentation through timber trim and light leather interior.

This NZ new example has had just two owners from new, with the current owner acquiring the car in June 2021 at 84,014km and now showing 89,000km. At purchase it received a major service and has been maintained regularly since.

The car has seen light, careful use and presents as a clean, well maintained example consistent with its mileage and ownership. It remains a straightforward and usable modern convertible, offering comfort, refinement and reliable performance in a proven Mercedes Benz package.

The vehicle will be offered with current WOF and registration.

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.

the Buyer must return the lot to Seller in the same condition that it was purchased.
