  1993 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.8. Estimate €2,000,000–2,200,000.

  One of two 911 Carrera RSRs custom ordered with full leather interiors, this particular example is offered in brand new condition, having only travelled 10 kilometres from new. Still covered in its factory cosmoline, it has never been driven or raced and is presented in completely unused and original condition. If you wanted to buy a RSR new and never got the chance in 1993, here’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make this dream come true.

  1987 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV by Bertone. Estimate €475,000–575,000.

  Think of the late 1980s and Miami Beach – what’s the first car to come to mind? For us, it’s this Countach 5000 QV. Born as one of just two Countachs with 14-karat gold trim, it’s white-on-white colour scheme screams 1980s excess at its very best. Recently restored by Lamborghini Polo Storico, it’s sure to drop jaws wherever it goes.

  1994 Lamborghini Diablo SE30. Estimate €370,000–450,000.

  There’s always a premium placed upon having the first of anything produced, and such is the case with this Diablo SE30. The very first SE30 of just 150 built, it’s only fitting that it includes a handful of special features, such as an Alcantara steering wheel, Jota-specification 400 km/h odometer, shorter gear-shift lever and yellow-painted brake calipers.

  2015 Porsche 918 ‘Weissach’ Spyder. Estimate €1,200,000–1,400,000.

  With ‘Paint-to-Sample’ cars being the most desirable option one can have in the current Porsche market, a PTS 918 should sit across every Porscheophile’s wish list. The only 918 finished in paint-to-sample Arrow Blue, this 918 is offered from its original owner who has driven the car nearly 11,000 kilometres. Following a recent service, it’s ready for another 11,000 kilometres – or more.

  1989 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante Zagato. Estimate €450,000–550,000.

  A true one-of-one example and a surefire head-turner, this V8 Vantage Volante Zagato is the only left-hand drive example produced by Aston Martin. With its striking Zagato coachwork and Fury Yellow paintwork, it epitomises 1980s machismo, and finding a more dramatic or eye-catching automobile produced by Aston Martin would be quite the challenge.

  1987 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Zagato. Estimate €400,000–500,000.

  One of only fifteen left-hand drive models built, Aston Martin’s V8 Vantage Zagato for 1987 was the decade’s epitome of English craftsmanship and Italian style. This example was delivered to the Persian Gulf for a sheikh and has travelled just over 4,000 kilometres from new.
