Foreword

Chris Wiseman Head of Collectors’ Cars chris@webbs.co.nz +64 22 187 7693

Every vehicle arrives in our gallery with its own story. That story can be anything. Of engineering, design, competition, ownership or simply the memories evoked. While we often talk about collector cars in terms of rarity, provenance and value, what has always interested me most is what they reveal about the people and eras that produced them. In a recent column, I wrote that collector cars sit at the intersection of design, engineering, history and memory. The longer you spend time around these machines - working with them, driving them, buying them, or selling them - the more convinced you’ll become that the emotional side of collecting matters just as much as the technical one. Most enthusiasts are not simply buying a machine, but something they aspired to when they were younger, something they remember from a magazine, the TV or what they saw on the road. Collecting is - in my view - memory made tangible. I’ve included this observation of mine to explain one of the most encouraging trends of recent years: the continued strength of the affordable classic. While headline auction results naturally generate attention, some of the healthiest enthusiasm in today's market exists at a far more accessible level. Cars such as the Peugeot 205GTI, BMW E30, and truly any MG, (lots, 2, 5, 1 & 30) demonstrate that collectability is not solely determined by extravagant value. Character, usability and a genuine place in motoring history remain every bit as important. It also helps explain why the collector car landscape continues to evolve. If every generation tends to collect the cars it grew up admiring, then the increasing popularity of vehicles from the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s is not a sign that enthusiasm for earlier cars is disappearing. Rather, it reflects a natural demographic shift that continues to bring new collectors into the hobby and ensures its ongoing relevance. Sometimes, though, collecting is just about fun. I’m equally pleased, therefore, that this catalogue embraces some of the more unusual corners of that world. Lot

26, a c.1960s Electric Shopper offers a fascinating glimpse into a vision of electric motoring that emerged decades before EVs became part of everyday life, and the Toylander (lot 13) reminds us that automotive enthusiasm often begins with imagination and curiosity rather than horsepower or investment potential. Both are charming, unusual and impossible to ignore. Even those objects with no drivetrain tell stories of their own. For instance, the rear valance from Colin McRae's 2002 Ford Focus WRC (lot 14) is more than a damaged competition component. It is a tangible connection to one of rallying's most iconic figures, and a moment firmly embedded in motorsport history. Significance is not always measured by size or the value of the materials used to create an object (or whether it’s been involved in a high speed crash), but by the strength of the story it carries. I do have to mention though, that the auction day bidder is becoming increasingly selective where the air is a little thinner. For all cars, provenance, originality, condition and documentation matter more than ever before - though demand for these factors is increasingly concentrating around exceptional examples which possess them. Lot 28, the 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL and the 1936 Rolls-Royce 25/30 HP Rippon Bros Limousine (lot 29) are good examples found in the pages of this catalogue. Although separated by decades, both possess the qualities collectors consistently seek. Speaking of trends, restoration costs have risen somewhat in recent decades. Buyers are therefore placing greater emphasis on practicality, but if I neglected to tell readers that Lot 29 is offered here with over $450,000 in restoration costs already invested, I wouldn’t be very good at my job - and you’d be missing out on an excellent opportunity. Ultimately, whether discussing a coachbuilt RollsRoyce, a 280SL, a child's electric Land Rover or a piece of history, the same principle applies - provenance, originality and condition sustain interest over time. I hope you find these qualities in the pages of this catalogue. 1

Collectors’ Cars: Top 10 Prices

2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG Cabriolet PRICE REALISED $535,000 SALE August 2024

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.

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.

1964 MGB

chassis GHN336500

Launched in 1962, the MGB quickly established itself as one of Britain’s most successful sports cars, combining handsome styling, simple mechanicals and everyday usability in a thoroughly modern package for its era. This 1964 example is an original New Zealand-delivered car and is accompanied by a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate confirming matching engine and chassis numbers. The odometer shows approximately 68,000mi. The interior has been restored to original specification during the vendor’s approximately six years of ownership, while the car retains its original chromed wire wheels. The exterior presents in reasonable condition and offers scope for further cosmetic restoration. Included are both a soft top and hard top, along with the personalised plate ‘MGB 1’. The car is accompanied by comprehensive restoration documentation, with work carried out by Paul Walbran Motors. An early New Zealand-new MGB with matching numbers, Heritage certification, documented restoration history and both hard-top and soft-top configuration, this is a well-supported example of one of Britain’s most enduring sports cars. The vehicle will be offered with current WOF and registration. The personalised plate 'MGB 1' is included with sale.

1986 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9

The ultimate hot hatch of the 1980s, Peugeot's 205 GTI combined lightweight construction, eager performance and exceptional chassis balance in a way that redefined the genre. More than four decades after its introduction, it remains the benchmark against which many sporting hatchbacks are judged and one of the most influential performance cars of its generation. Purchased new in London during the latter half of 1986, this 1.9-litre example was stored prior to export and arrived in Auckland shortly before Christmas that year. First registered in New Zealand in January 1987, it had covered just 250 miles when it landed. The vendor recalls paying approximately $28,000 in import duty, at a time when European vehicles attracted substantial taxes. What makes this particular GTI especially appealing is its extraordinary continuity of ownership. It has remained with its original owner from new, who has also been its sole driver throughout its life, a fact recorded on the insurance policy. When ordered, the owner selected the upholstery specification and specified a sunroof, while the car was also supplied with a full alloy spare wheel. Equipped with the desirable five-speed manual transmission, the Peugeot has been enjoyed as intended,

including two trips around the South Island and extensive touring throughout the North Island. Maintenance is reported to have been consistently attended to, with timing belt replacements carried out as required. The car is fitted with a Cobra alarm system incorporating an engine immobiliser and automatic window-closing function. Supporting the car is an unusually comprehensive record of ownership and use. The original service book contains period service entries, while a separate vehicle log book has been fastidiously maintained, recording mileage and usage from the late 1980s through to 2023. Further reinforcing its originality, the car still proudly wears its original 'Earls Court Motors, Peugeot Central London' sticker. Notably, the vendor advises the gearknob is the only non-original component fitted to the interior. Garage-kept throughout its life and showing 63,535mi at the time of cataloguing, this remarkably well-preserved, single-owner 205 GTI presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly original example of one of the defining performance hatchbacks of the 1980s, accompanied by nearly four decades of continuous ownership and meticulous documentation. The vehicle will be offered with current WOF and registration.

1995 Holden HSV GTS #78

The HSV GTS represented the pinnacle of Australian highperformance motoring in the mid-1990s. While earlier local muscle cars earned their reputations through raw power and straight-line pace, the VR-series GTS combined exceptional performance with refinement, sophisticated handling and modern braking, placing it in the company of contemporary European sports saloons rather than its domestic predecessors. At the heart of the GTS was HSV's enlarged 5.7-litre version of Holden's venerable V8. Developed using a stroker crankshaft and complemented by a revised camshaft, upgraded valvetrain, improved induction and freer-flowing exhaust system, the result was an impressive 215kW at 4,800rpm and 475Nm at 3,600rpm. Power was delivered through a Borg-Warner six-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential, while larger brakes with ABS, independent rear suspension and HSV's uprated suspension package ensured the chassis was equal to the engine's considerable performance. Capable of covering the standing 400-metre sprint in under 15 seconds and reaching

almost 250km/h, it was among the fastest production cars ever built in Australia. Presented here is car number 78 of the 375 examples produced in this specification. Sold new by Moyes Panmure in Auckland, it was first registered on 29 September 1995 before delivery to its sole owner on 2 October that year. Believed to be one of only five examples imported new to New Zealand, it is understood to be the only manual-transmission example of that small group. Finished in Holden Red, which remains rich and lustrous, the car is equipped with its desirable six-speed manual gearbox complete with carbon-fibre surround, rear spoiler, sports seats and Bridgestone tyres. The interior presents in spotless condition and the odometer shows approximately 53,000km. A rare New Zealand-delivered example of HSV's flagship performance sedan, combining single ownership, modest mileage and a highly desirable specification. Seldom encountered and rarer still in this apparent configuration. The vehicle will be offered with current WOF and registration.

With its NZ-new provenance, low mileage, and rare Bosch-injected specification, this Sprint QV represents a unique opportunity for Alfa enthusiasts. It combines the charm of 1980s Italian design with a driving experience that remains lively and rewarding.

This striking 1986 Alfa Romeo Alfasud Sprint Quadrifoglio Verde (QV) is a rare New Zealand-new example. The odometer reads approximately 80,000mi. It was purchased by the vendor from a deceased estate in Ashburton and remains highly original. Finished in black with green Quadrifoglio detailing, the car retains its distinctive QV styling cues: green bumper piping, cloverleaf badges, and factory alloy wheels. The interior is equally authentic, featuring the original brown cloth upholstery with polka-dots, matching carpets, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Among the most recognisable models of the E30 generation, the 325i Cabriolet combined BMW’s compact sporting character with refined open-top motoring. Introduced as the marque’s first fully factory-built 3 Series convertible, it remains one of the most desirable variants of the E30 range. This New Zealand-new 1987 BMW 325i Cabriolet is finished in red over a black leather interior and is equipped with the desirable five-speed manual transmission. Showing 277,881km, the car presents as a well-kept example, complemented by period-style BBS cross-spoke alloy wheels, a black soft-top and matching tonneau cover. The interior retains a pleasingly original appearance, with factory

instrumentation, switchgear and trim presenting in keeping with the car’s character. Under the bonnet sits BMW’s renowned 2.5-litre M20 inline-six, an engine celebrated for its smooth delivery and pairing with the marque’s driver-focused chassis. Combining New Zealand-new provenance, open-top motoring and one of BMW’s most enduring designs, this E30 Cabriolet offers an appealing opportunity to enjoy a modern classic from the golden era of the analogue sports saloon.

V8 engine and the Majesta retains a number of period luxury features, including its distinctive digital dashboard. The remarkably well-preserved interior combines original cloth trim with timber-effect detailing, while the boot remains complete with its spare wheel and jack in situ. Combining exceptionally low mileage, understood to be genuine, original Japanese documentation and an increasingly recognised connection to Japan's VIP car culture, this Crown Majesta represents an appealing opportunity to acquire a highly original example of Toyota's 1990s luxury flagship.

Toyota's Crown Majesta represented the upper tier of the Crown range, a discreet luxury saloon created for Japan's domestic market. Models such as this later became closely associated with Japan's VIP, or Bippu, scene, where large executive saloons were celebrated for their understated presence, comfort and refinement rather than overt performance. Imported from Japan in 2020, this 1995 Crown Majesta is offered with an odometer reading of just under 35,000km, understood to be genuine, and is accompanied by its original Japanese documentation.

was not operating correctly. Following purchase, the car was transported to its new owner, who with the help of a marque specialist found the issue to be a faulty diaphragm responsible for injecting fuel into the rotor housing. Once repaired, no further fault was identified and Webb's is informed the engine has since proven entirely reliable. First registered in New Zealand in 1995, the car later formed part of a Hamilton-based collection. The odometer currently reads 92,549mi, which is believed to be the first time around. The bonnet has been repainted, while the upholstery is understood to remain original. Presented in a period beige colour scheme over a largely original interior, this Ro 80 is a compelling example of one of the twentieth century's most innovative production cars, combining remarkable engineering significance with highly original character.

Founded in 1873, NSU grew from a bicycle and motorcycle manufacturer into one of Germany's most innovative automotive marques, earning a reputation for technical experimentation and advanced engineering. Following Volkswagen's acquisition of NSU in 1969 and its merger with Auto Union, the company became part of Audi NSU Auto Union AG, with the Ro 80's forwardthinking design and engineering helping shape Audi's emerging identity as a technology-led manufacturer. Introduced in 1967, it remains one of the most technically ambitious European saloons of its era, celebrated for its advanced aerodynamics and pioneering twinrotor Wankel engine. The model's innovative engineering and distinctive styling quickly established it as one of the most forward-thinking cars of its generation. This highly original example was acquired by its previous owner in 1994 after being discovered in northern Tauranga, parked behind a large tin shed. At the time it was owned by an Auckland doctor, who advised that the engine

2024 Honda Civic Type R

Since its introduction, the FL5 Civic Type R has been widely acclaimed as a high-water mark for the modern hot hatch. Its combination of purposeful styling, engaging dynamics and limited production has already led some commentators to regard the model as a future classic, further enhancing its standing among enthusiasts. Presented in Championship White, the marque's signature performance colour, this New Zealand-new example was first registered on 31 January 2024. Power comes from Honda's turbocharged 2.0-litre VTEC engine driving through a six-speed manual gearbox, a combination widely praised for its precision and engagement. Distinctive Type R features include the tripleexit exhaust system, black rear spoiler and mirror caps, rear wiper, and factory Michelin tyres. Showing a mere 4,000km at the time of cataloguing, the car presents in virtually new condition throughout. The striking red and black interior complements the Civic Type R's purposeful character and remains exceptionally well presented. Accompanying glovebox literature is supplied with the vehicle. We are advised that the manufacturer's warranty remains in force until 15 February 2029, although interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the exact terms and coverage. With such low mileage and offered in highly desirable FL5 specification, this Civic Type R presents an opportunity to acquire Honda's celebrated performance flagship in near-delivery condition.

engine AR61501-000148 chassis

ZAR16200003000121

$120,000—$130,000

'Il Mostro' is one of the most daring automotive designs of the late twentieth century. Its dramatic geometric forms, recessed glazing, abrupt Kamm-style tail and distinctive triple-headlamp arrangement create a silhouette that remains instantly recognisable more than three decades after its debut. Built by Zagato and developed using some of Alfa Romeo's earliest computer-aided design technology, the SZ was a deliberate rejection of contemporary styling trends and has become one of the marque's most visually arresting creations. Approximately 1,036 examples were produced, all in left-hand drive. The model's sporting credentials extended beyond the road. In 1993 a one-make SZ Trophy series was established, with a small number of lightly modified cars competing at leading European circuits. The series appeared alongside the Italian Supercar GT Championship and included a support race during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, underlining the performance credentials that sat beneath the car's striking bodywork. Beneath the composite coachwork sat proven Alfa Romeo mechanicals, centred around the marque's revered 3.0-litre Busso V6 and rear transaxle layout. The combination delivered the characterful engine note, balance and driver engagement for which the model is still celebrated today.

This 1990 example was first registered in the Netherlands before being first registered in New Zealand in 2012. Showing 40,300km, it carries the personalised registration 'MOSTRO', a fitting tribute to the nickname by which the model has become known among enthusiasts. The car has been regularly maintained by Continental Cars Ferrari since arriving in New Zealand and received its most recent service within the past month. Webb's understands from the Alfa Romeo community that this is the first example to be sold road-ready in New Zealand. Other owners of SZ and RZ models alike have remarked that they were forced to undertake the painstaking of overseas sourcing, purchase, importation of these cars - not to mention compliance. This example is offered with all of that hard work completed for the purchaser. Presented in the SZ's signature Rosso Alfa with tan interior, it offers a rare opportunity to acquire one of Alfa Romeo's most distinctive modern classics and one of the marque's most uncompromising expressions of design, engineering and character.

1965 Ducati 250 Mach 1 250cc

Introduced in the mid-1960s as the ultimate development of Ducati's bevel-drive sporting single, the 250 Mach 1 was a genuine production racer for the road. Built around Fabio Taglioni's highly regarded narrow-case single-cylinder engine, the model earned a formidable reputation for performance, handling and durability at a time when quarter-litre motorcycles were fiercely contested both on the road and in competition. Production was limited, with approximately 800 examples believed to have been built worldwide, making the Mach 1 one of the most sought-after early Ducati singles today. This 1965 Ducati 250 Mach 1 was sold new in Auckland in January 1966 and is offered with its original ownership and registration documentation, an uncommon and compelling accompaniment to a motorcycle of this age. The machine underwent a comprehensive restoration completed in 2006, with an aftermarket Teglia tachometer

(considered a go-to addition for the Mach 1) subsequently fitted following the restoration photography. Described as the only known road-registered Mach 1 in New Zealand, the Ducati carries the registration number DUCM1. The motorcycle has also enjoyed considerable success on the show circuit, having received multiple prizes and awards. Presented in striking condition and accompanied by important documentation tracing its New Zealand history, this rare Mach 1 represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly significant Ducati sporting single with documented local provenance and long-standing New Zealand history.

This 61ci example saw re-commissioning by Dave Anderson of DG Service, an expert tasked with the work by a previous owner who acquired the machine 25 years ago. It was stored for much of this period, with the work being embarked upon and concluded during 2024. The vendor has had the motorcycle for two years.

Built in 61ci and 74ci capacities (1000cc “J” and 1200cc “JD” respectively) the Harley-Davidson 1928 J F-head twin gained an enviable reputation as an excellent motorcycle by the time its production ceased in 1929. It had been improved over its predecessors with a front brake, stronger fork and pumped lubrication. The J models dominated Harley’s offerings in 1928, and though variants were numerous the J was the most versatile, affordable and therefore common. Costing just USD$310, it was modestly priced for what was an eminently modern machine. It is perhaps this value the J owes its popularity to, given the market

2017 BMW R nineT Custom

One of the most talked-about motorcycles of its era, BMW's R nineT was the undisputed star of the 2013 EICMA Show in Milan. Conceived as a modern roadster with a distinctly classic character, it acknowledged the growing influence of the custom motorcycle scene and was marketed as a blank canvas for personalisation. BMW's judgement proved astute, with the initial production run quickly selling out. Contemporary road testers praised the R nineT for avoiding both retro pastiche and overt custom-bike stereotypes. Rather than imitating a specific period machine, it was regarded as a high-performance motorcycle distilled to its essentials, capturing the spirit of the original café racers through simplicity, engineering integrity and rider engagement. That philosophy underpins the approach taken with the motorcycle offered here. Inspired by a feature on several high-end BMW R

nineT customs, including examples by Roland Sands Design, the vendor sought to apply the same design principles in a more restrained and practical manner. The objective was not to create an extravagant showpiece, but rather a motorcycle that could plausibly have emerged as a limited-production BMW model. Central to the build was the integration of an Indian Scout fuel tank into the R nineT platform. The fabrication work was undertaken by a friend experienced in bespoke motorcycle construction, with a deliberate effort made to avoid major frame modifications. As a result, the bike can be returned to standard specification if desired, and all original parts removed during the build accompany the motorcycle. The odometer currently reads 80,000km. The vehicle will be offered with current WOF and registration.

Powered by an electric motor, it runs and drives and features forward and reverse modes, adjustable speed control, foot brake, handbrake, lights, folding windscreen, opening tailgate and pneumatic tyres. The robust monocoque body accommodates one adult and two children and has a

manufacturer-stated safe top speed of approximately 8km/h. The horn is currently inoperative, though likely only due to a fuse. Finished in classic Land Rover green, it is offered with a matching trailer, spare wheel for bonnet mounting and accompanying manufacturer's literature.

14 The Rear Valance from Colin McRae's 2002 WRC NZ DNF An original rear valance from Colin McRae's Ford Focus RS WRC, finished in Martini and Pirelli livery. The component is understood to originate from McRae's Rally New Zealand campaign and bears internal markings consistent with the Whaanga Coast stage accident that ended his 2002 event. During the stage, McRae clipped a farm gate after mishearing a pace note, sending the Focus off the road and into a

stand of trees, a retirement that effectively ended his championship challenge and aided Peugeot's path to victory. The crash attribution is supported by markings visible on the inner face of the valance and corresponding contemporary footage. Retaining period competition wear and damage, it represents a tangible relic from one of the defining moments of the 2002 World Rally Championship season. 1740mm at widest point. est $4,500—$5,500

Mercedes-Benz has long combined elegant design with effortless grand touring capability, but for those seeking an extra measure of performance, AMG provided the answer. From its Affalterbach headquarters, AMG transformed already accomplished Mercedes-Benz models into genuinely formidable high-performance machines. The SL55 AMG is one such example. Powered by a hand-built 5.4-litre supercharged V8 producing 510bhp and more than 500lb-ft of torque, it delivered startling performance for its era, reaching 100kmph in just 4.4 seconds. Equally at home as a refined grand tourer or an open-top sports car, the folding hardtop transforms the SL in approximately 16 seconds. This New Zealand-new example was first registered on 17 March 2006 to a prominent Auckland businessman before passing to its second owner on 8 July 2014. Throughout his twelve-year custodianship, the car was sparingly used and meticulously maintained. There is now approximately 100,000km on the odometer. The presentation of the car speaks to previous careful ownership, and subsequently that of the vendor. The paintwork and upholstery are described as unmarked, the alloy wheels are free of kerb damage, and the car sits on a near-new set of performance tyres. Accompanying the vehicle are its tonneau cover, handbook, original tool kit and two keys. Servicing has been carried out by both MercedesBenz dealers and respected marque specialists. A compelling combination of supercharged AMG performance, open-top luxury and careful long-term ownership, this SL55 AMG presents as an exceptionally well-kept example of one of Mercedes-Benz's most celebrated modern grand tourers.

1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL (W113)

The final and most powerful iteration of MercedesBenz's W113-series roadster, the 280SL combined elegant styling, robust engineering and refined grand touring capability in a package that has become one of the marque's most enduring classics. Finished in anthracite grey over red upholstery, this right-hand-drive example is equipped with automatic transmission, a factory hardtop and the incredibly rare and unique occasional rear seat - a sideways sitting option for a third passenger in the back. The colour combination is particularly striking and suits the clean, restrained lines for which the W113 has become renowned. Showing 94,166mi at the time of cataloguing, the car is accompanied by a substantial history file documenting its life across the United Kingdom, Monaco, Hong Kong and New Zealand. The shut lines on this car are absolutely perfect, and are the calling card of a car that's been carefully guided toward excellent condition throughout its life. Records include UK MOT certificates dating from 1985, service and repair invoices from Hurst Park Automobiles in 2001 and 2002, Monaco registration, inspection and insurance documents from 2007 and 2008, and paperwork

relating to its purchase from London Mercedes-Benz specialist Silver Arrows in September 2010. A vehicle condition report completed shortly before export recorded 88,633mi. The vendor - who is reluctantly de-accessioning some of their collection - has owned the Mercedes for approximately 16 years, purchasing it from Silver Arrows in London before keeping it in Hong Kong for around eight years. Following a move to New York, the car was shipped to New Zealand, where it spent time in Queenstown before returning north to Auckland. A box of papers accompanies the vehicle, including ownership history and supporting documentation, while more recent maintenance has been undertaken by Autohaus Auckland. Well specified, attractively presented and supported by extensive records spanning more than four decades, this 280SL is a highly appealing example of Mercedes-Benz's iconic ‘Pagoda’, offered with long-term ownership, factory hardtop and comprehensive history. The vendor notes that while the car lacks an original Becker stereo, the sale will come complete with a collection of tapes from Bronski Beat to David Bowie (this added with emphasis).

on the picnic run to Mangahao Dam following the AGM. Its attendance is recorded in a period photograph from the event. In 1970, the vehicle was acquired by noted enthusiast Lin Bowman, who retained and maintained the limousine for more than three decades. By the early 2000s, New Zealand Rolls-Royce & Bentley Club records noted the car remained in highly original and very good condition, showing a remarkably low 87,000 original miles and carrying the registration AB8454. Finished in black, the car presents as a classic chauffeur-driven limousine, with side-mounted spare wheel, division window separating chauffeur and passenger compartments, occasional seating, rear luggage compartment, and finely detailed timber appointments throughout the cabin. The Rolls-Royce underwent an extensive restoration undertaken by renowned Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialist Bruce McIlroy. The work encompassed a complete stripdown and rebuild of both the body and engine at a cost exceeding $450,000, supported by invoices throughout. Since completion, the car has travelled just 2,974km. The car is accompanied by a wealth of literature, including Rolls-Royce service handbooks, workshop manuals and technical publications, together with its original tool tray and tools. One of the last opportunities to acquire a car from the Roy Savage Collection, this Rippon-bodied 25/30 HP combines distinguished coachwork, documented club history, long-term enthusiast ownership, exceptional supporting documentation and a major specialistled restoration, representing a compelling example of pre-war Rolls-Royce craftsmanship and elegance.

Introduced in 1936, the Rolls-Royce 25/30 HP was developed from the successful 20/25 and fitted with a larger 4257cc sixcylinder engine. Built between 1936 and 1938, it was among the last of the great pre-war Rolls-Royce chassis supplied to independent coachbuilders, with each owner selecting their preferred bodymaker. Only 1,201 25/30 chassis were produced. This example carries formal limousine coachwork by Rippon Bros. of Huddersfield. Among Britain's oldest coachbuilders, Rippon traced its origins to the sixteenth century, with records noting the firm's involvement in the construction of ceremonial stages during the reign of Elizabeth I. By the interwar period, Rippon was recognised alongside firms such as Barker, Hooper, H.J. Mulliner and Park Ward as one of the leading suppliers of bespoke bodies for prestige marques including Rolls-Royce and Bentley. Between 1906 and the cessation of coachbuilding in 1952, Rippon is recorded as having built just 462 custom bodies for Rolls-Royce and Bentley chassis, underscoring the relative rarity of surviving Rippon-bodied motor cars today. Records suggest the chassis was originally built for a Mr J. Hill, who selected Rippon Bros. to construct the coachwork. At one point in its history, the car also appears to have been owned by George Banks, president-for-life of the Rolls-Royce and Bentley Club. The 25/30 belongs to an era when many RollsRoyces were owner-driven only occasionally, with daily operation entrusted to professional chauffeurs. RollsRoyce maintained exacting service standards, requiring specialist training for mechanics and a disciplined maintenance regime that contributed greatly to the marque's reputation for reliability and refinement. The car participated in the 1961 New Zealand RollsRoyce and Bentley Club National Rally, where it was driven

British marques. The majority of maintenance and mechanical work throughout the car's custodianship has been carried out personally, with work undertaken as required rather than deferred. More recently, the front brakes were rebuilt by Walbran Motors of New Lynn, with accompanying invoices supplied. Presented on wire-spoke wheels and accompanied by its soft-top and tonneau cover, the car has reportedly been continuously garaged throughout its ownership. The vendor notes that the fuel gauge is inaccurate, but otherwise describes the MGA as having been maintained in very good order. Cherished for more than half a century by a professional mechanic, this well-presented MGA offers the rare appeal of extensive long-term custodianship, carefully documented restoration history, and conscientious mechanical upkeep.

Few qualities resonate more strongly in the collector car world than long-term ownership and knowledgeable care. This MGA Roadster has been in the same ownership since 1973, when it was purchased as a restoration project from a young owner in Papatoetoe. The vendor remembers vividly driving the car home with no brakes, tidying it up sufficiently to compete at a grass-track meeting at Maungatapere, where it reportedly won, before embarking on a far more substantial programme of restoration. The vendor spent the following three years rebuilding the car, resulting in its re-registration in 1976. A further body refurbishment was undertaken in the early 1990s using imported replacement panels. Importantly, the vendor notes that the car has never been crashed during more than five decades of ownership. An A-grade motor mechanic by trade, having completed an apprenticeship with New Zealand Motor Corporation during the 1960s, the vendor was already familiar with MGs through the company's involvement with

has remained with the same owner for the past 12 years and presents as an unmodified example of Nissan's celebrated performance flagship. The car is notably complete and well preserved, retaining period-correct factory decals throughout, its original rear wiper, rear aerial, factory rear spoiler and model-specific jack. The engine bay is tidy and well presented, while the interior is accompanied by a set of original carpets and benefits from functioning air conditioning and electric windows. Factory wheels remain free from kerb damage and are fitted with Bridgestone Potenza tyres, while the certification plate remains visible. A period-correct 10-disc CD system is fitted, although currently inoperative. Maintenance has reportedly been entrusted to a local Nissan marque specialist. Accompanying the vehicle is correspondence from Waka Kotahi confirming that the "Not Stamped" notation recorded against the engine number at entry inspection does not affect the vehicle's identity or legality, which remains determined by the VIN. Showing long-term ownership, modest mileage and an exceptionally original presentation, this R32 GT-R represents an increasingly difficult-to-find example of one of the defining Japanese performance cars of its era.

Unveiled in 1989, the R32 Skyline GT-R redefined expectations of Japanese performance cars. Developed to dominate Group A competition and powered by Nissan's twin-turbocharged RB26DETT inline-six, it combined the ATTESA E-TS all-wheeldrive system with HICAS four-wheel steering to devastating effect on both road and track. The Skyline nameplate traces its origins to Prince Motor Company, becoming part of Nissan following the 1966 merger between the two manufacturers. Throughout much of its development history the model was shaped by engineer Shinichiro Sakurai, whose influence remained central to the Skyline's evolution for decades. Created specifically to contest Group A touring car racing, the R32 GT-R quickly established a formidable reputation. Its success in Australian touring car competition earned the car the nickname 'Godzilla', with Gibson Motorsport's factorybacked programme delivering consecutive Bathurst victories in 1991 and 1992 with drivers Jim Richards and Mark Skaife. The model's dominance ultimately contributed to its exclusion from the category. Imported to New Zealand from Japan and first registered here on 19 August 2012, this early-production R32 GT-R is presented in highly original specification and is understood to have travelled approximately 80,000km from new.

The odometer currently reads 2,639km, though given the vehicle’s age this is presumed to be its second time around. The Cromodora-style wheels, reminiscent of those fitted to the Fiat Dino, are an aftermarket addition but were also offered as a period manufacturer-endorsed option. Finished in white, the car remains faithful to its original colour, although the paint appears to have been renewed at some stage. Panel fit presents well, with notably tidy door shut lines and an exceptionally clean boot compartment. Rarely encountered in either New Zealand or Japan, the 117 Coupé occupies a distinctive place in Japanese automotive history. Combining Giugiaro styling, advanced period engineering and genuine scarcity, it presents an uncommon opportunity to acquire one of Isuzu’s most charismatic and collectible passenger cars.

Named after Isuzu’s internal code designation for a series of development programmes covering mid-sized coupés, sedans and station wagons, the 117 Coupé was produced from 1968 to 1981. The sleek 2-door fastback remains best known for its styling by Giorgetto Giugiaro, making it one of the first Japanese cars penned by an Italian designer. Those familiar with the Fiat Dino may notice a resemblance, unsurprising given Giugiaro was responsible for both designs. Today, the 117 is regarded as one of Japan’s more unusual and desirable classic grand tourers. Among the first Japanese production cars to feature both a DOHC engine and electronic fuel injection, it represented a significant technical achievement for the marque. Production ceased in 1981, marking the end of Isuzu’s sports car programme as the company increasingly focused on commercial vehicles and SUVs. A genuine rarity, this example is believed to be one of only two in New Zealand. Imported from Japan and first registered locally in January 2021, it comfortably lives up to its long-held reputation as one of the most attractive Japanese cars of the 1970s. Power comes

1998 Holden Commodore VS Royale

Often cited in enthusiast circles as numbering around 100 vehicles, exact production numbers are difficult to verify, though all sources agree the model was produced and sold in very limited numbers. The result is one of the rarest and most distinctive variants of the VS Commodore lineage, born from a unique set of economic circumstances and never intended for the market in which it ultimately found a home. This exceptionally original example is showing just 29,600km, understood to be genuine, and presents in remarkably well-preserved condition throughout. Accompanying the vehicle are two valet keys and two full-sized keys, while its highly original presentation extends from the tidy engine bay to the well-kept interior and luggage compartment. A fascinating reminder of a singular moment in Holden's export history, this low-mileage Royale combines unusual provenance, distinctive styling, European power and remarkable preservation in a package seldom encountered today.

Few Holdens tell a more unusual story than the VS II Royale. Created from a cancelled export programme intended for Singapore and Malaysia, these cars were caught in the fallout from the 1997 Asian financial crisis before reaching their intended market. Unable to be retailed in Australia due to their export specification, the remaining cars were redirected across the Tasman and sold new through New Zealand Holden dealers, creating one of the marque's most intriguing local-market curiosities. The Royale's appeal lies not only in its origin story but also in its unique specification. Built around the VS Commodore platform, it combined elements from several Holden models to create a distinctive export-focused package. The front-end styling was borrowed from the long-wheelbase VS Caprice, giving the car a more formal and luxurious appearance than a standard Commodore, while Berlina alloy wheels and Calais-level appointments completed the package. Under the bonnet sat Opel's 2.5-litre X25XE V6, an engine rarely seen in Australian-built Holdens and a notable departure from the locally familiar Buick-derived V6.

Finished in a timeless colour combination of silver over red, and presented in excellent condition, it represents one of the last true Alfa Romeos before the brand shifted toward a more globalised, less fiery identity.

In the pantheon of great Alfa Romeo engines, the V6 ‘Busso’ enjoys particular notoriety. Known for the enthralling sound it emits, any car endowed with this impressive engine carries the legacy of driving when it was raw and emotional. It’s quite special, therefore, for a car produced at the beginning of the 2010s to harbour such an engine. The car in question is the Alfa Romeo GT 3.2-litre V6, the last ever to be equipped with the legendary ‘Busso’. In ‘Busso’ form the GT can reach 100kmph in 6.7 seconds, nearly two quicker than the three alternative engines offered with the car, and it’s capable of 237hp where the inline-4 options manage just over half that. The GT's charm isn’t that straightforward though, and certainly not rooted in straight-line speed. The GT offers sharp, responsive handling thanks to its double wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear setup, delivering excellent grip and balance. Tuned for sportier dynamics, it features stiffer springs and dampers to complement the weight of the ‘Busso’. Steering is

4.1. Refusal of Admission Webb’s reserves the right at our complete discretion to refuse admission to the auction premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid.

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.

4.2. Registration Before Bidding Any prospective new buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide photo identification before bidding. Webb’s may request bank, trade or other financial references to substantiate this registration. 4.3. Bidding as a Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price including the buyer’s premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Webb’s before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Webb’s and that Webb’s will only look to the principal for payment.

The property is otherwise sold “AS IS” 3.2. 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.

4.4. International Registrations All International clients not known to Webb’s will be required to scan or fax through an accredited form of photo identification and pay a deposit at our discretion in cleared funds into Webb’s account at least 24 hours before the commencement of the auction. Bids will not be accepted without this deposit. Webb’s also reserves the right to request any additional forms of identification prior to registering an overseas bid. This deposit can be made using a credit card, however the balance of any purchase price in excess of $5,000 cannot be charged to this card without prior arrangement.

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.

This deposit is redeemable against any auction purchase and will be refunded in full if no purchases are made. 4.5. Absentee Bids Webb’s will use reasonable efforts to execute written bids delivered to us AT LEAST 24 Hours before the sale for the convenience of those clients who are unable to attend the auction in person. If we receive identical written bids on a particular lot, and at the auction these are the highest bids on that lot, then

An item bought “on Extension” must be paid for in full before it will be released to the purchaser or his/her agreed

the lot will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors or omissions which may arise. It is the bidder’s responsibility to check with Webb’s after the auction if they were successful. Unlimited or “Buy” bids will not be accepted. 4.6. Telephone Bids Priority will be given to overseas and bidders from other regions. Please refer to the catalogue for the Telephone Bids form. Arrangements for this service must be confirmed AT LEAST 24 HOURS PRIOR to the auction commencing. Webb’s accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any errors or failure to execute bids. In telephone bidding the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here and accepts that Webb’s cannot be held responsible for any miscommunications in the process. The success of telephone bidding cannot be guaranteed due to circumstances that are unforeseen. Buyers should be aware of the risk and accept the consequences should contact be unsuccessful at the time of Auction. You must advise Webb’s of the lots in question, and you will be assumed to be a buyer at the minimum price of 75% of estimate (i.e. reserve) for all such lots. Webb’s will advise Telephone Bidders who have registered at least 24 hours before the auction of any relevant changes to descriptions, withdrawals, or any other sale room notices. 4.7. Online Bidding Webb’s offers an online bidding service. When bidding online the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here by Webb’s. Webb’s accepts no responsibility for any errors, failure to execute bids or any other miscommunications regarding this process. It is the online bidder’s responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the relevant information regarding bids, lot numbers and contact details. Webb’s does not charge for this service. 4.8. Reserves Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. 4.9. Auctioneers Discretion The Auctioneer has the right at his/ her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding according to the following indicative steps: Increment Dollar Range Amount $20 $0–$500 $50 $500–$1,000 $100 $1,000–$2,000 $200 $2,000–$5,000 $500 $5,000–$10,000 $1,000 $10,000–$20,000 $2,000 $20,000–$50,000 $5,000 $50,000—$100,000 $10,000 $100,000–$200,000 $20,000 $200,000–$500,000 $50,000 $500,000–$1,000,000
