1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda Transmission: automaticMileage:65513The stylish Mercedes-Benz W113 was presented at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show and replaced both the expensive 300 SL and entry-level 190 SL with one medium-priced two-seat sports car. The SL was a huge success, with 48,912 sold in nine years, and is now considered a true masterpiece. The body combines the elegantly trim look of contemporary Mercedes saloons with a simple grille derived from the 300 SL. Béla Barényi conceived the patented concave hardtop, soon called the 'Pagoda.' Like the best designs, the W113 has proven to be timeless in its appeal.We are pleased to offer this superb low mileage, two owner from new example which is an original and rare 'California Coupé', with the single bench seat as designated by option '417' on its factory record.Originally purchased in July 1969 by its first owner, a Mr. Luigi Bresciani an Italian ice cream manufacturer who ordered the Mercedes as a retirement present to himself. Interestingly Mr. Besciani ordered the Pagoda in U.K. right hand drive specification but had it delivered to his Italian residence. Later in 1972 he returned to England to join his family bringing the Pagoda with him. The Pagoda remained his pride and joy until 1982 when at the age of 80 he found his health failing and with great reluctance arranged for the car to be sold. At this stage, the car had covered some 51,000 miles. Our vendor acquired the vehicle at this time and carried out various maintenance work to ensure the car was ready for further use. The Mercedes was enjoyed for a further 8,000 miles and was taken around the country as well as on the continent.Offered from over four decades of single ownership, this superb example has covered a mere 65,513 miles and has had just two owners from new. Accompanying the Pagoda is a sizeable history file with many documents, sundry bills, service records, MoT test certificates, and even the March 1983, edition of Classic and Sports which the car featured in!Having been dry stored since the current vendors purchase in 1982, this Mercedes was last MoT'd in the early 2000's and has been used sparingly since. Presented in very good, preserved condition the paintwork retains a deep shine and shows little sign of age as does the interior and chrome work. The vendor reports that the car was working as it should when it was parked up in the garage some years ago, however it has not been started in recent times and as such some general recommissioning is required before use. Having covered little mileage from new and with a superb two owner history this example represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire an ever-desirable right hand drive 280 SL Pagoda. We expect this wonderful example to be keenly contested at auction.

1995 Chevrolet Suburban LT 2500 Transmission: automaticMileage:33250The Chevrolet Suburban is a full-size SUV from Chevrolet and the name started in 1934 for the 1935 U.S. model year, making it the longest continuously used automobile nameplate in production. It has traditionally been one of General Motors' most profitable vehicles. The 1935 first generation Carryall Suburban was one of the first production all-metal bodied station wagons. It now comes with three engine options: a 5.3 litre V8, 6.2 litre V8 or a 3.0 litre Inline-6 turbo diesel. The GMT400-based Suburban's were introduced in December 1991 for the 1992 model year. The similar pick-up truck models had switched to the newer platforms in the 1988 model year. Both two wheel and four wheel drive models, designated 'C' and 'K', were offered, as well as half ton and three quarter ton ('1500' and '2500') models. Trim options included a base-level version, the LS, and the LT. Interior seating arrangements allowed for either bucket or bench seating in the first row and optional third row bench. The vehicle could be configured from two to nine passenger seating. Transmissions included the 4L60 four-speed automatic in the 1500 series, and the heavier duty 4L80 four-speed automatic in the 2500.This superb American SUV vehicle was delivered new to its first owner the late Emir of Qatar, His High Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Hamad Al-Thani. It is presented in two-tone black/gold with beige leather interior. The interior is in superb condition as is the exterior paintwork and has the added benefit of the third row set of seats allowing for nine people to be transported in extreme comfort with plenty of legroom. It is powered by the mighty 5.7 litre V8 mated to an automatic transmission and comes with air conditioning. This vehicle is thought to have been used by the staff of the late Emir, probably his security detail and has only covered a mere 32,500km from new before our vendor purchased this from Historics in May 2021. Since his purchase the engine and gearbox have been fully serviced, a new air conditioning unit has been fitted as have five new tyres. An extremely practical family SUV with substantial interior space for people and luggage, together with its very interesting history, this must be one of the finest available of this marque.
1979 Honda Dax ST50 Transmission: manualMileage:The Honda ST-Series minibikes are known as the Dax in Japan and Europe, and the Trail 70 in Canada and the US. The ST50, ST70, and CT70 were introduced in August 1969 and produced through 1981. A key feature of the ST-Series is the pressed-steel 'T-bone' frame that distinguishes it from Honda's other minibikes. As a general description, the ST-Series bikes have a bench-style saddle, small fat tyres, and folding handlebars. They have an air-cooled four-stroke engine with either a three-speed semi-automatic transmission, with an automatic centrifugal clutch, or a four-speed manual gearbox. Due to the diminutive wheel-size and limited speed, the ST-Series bikes do not always qualify as road-legal vehicles and were sold in some markets for off-road recreation only. Their licensing status varies with locale and time period during their nearly 40 years of existence.Presented in its original paintwork, this ST50 boasts an uprated exhaust and despite being small, it packs a punch from the four-stroke air-cooled engine. This example is road legal and is offered with V5 registration certificate.Guide Price £4,000-£7,000Interested parties should note This lot is sold with the new keepers slip only from the latest V5 and not the full document which will need to be reapplied for from the DVLA.
1983 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL Transmission: automaticMileage:185512The Mercedes-Benz SL is a roadster manufactured since 1954 and the designation SL derives from the German 'Sport Liecht' or 'Sport Light' and was first applied to the 300 SL 'Gullwing' named after the upward-opening doors. The term SL-Class refers to the marketing variations of the vehicle, including the numerous engine configurations spanning five design generations. The Mercedes-Benz R107 and C107 automobiles were produced from 1971 through to 1989, being the second longest single series ever produced by the Mercedes-Benz, after the G-Class. The R107 took the chassis components of the mid-size W114 model and mated them to the larger engines from the S-Class (W116). The SL variant was a two seat convertible/roadster with standard soft top, hardtop and optional foldable seats for the rear bench. Volume production of the first R107 car, the 350 SL, started in April 1971 alongside the last of the W113 cars.This Mercedes-Benz 500 SL is a fine example of a classic sports car. Fitted with the superb five litre V8 engine, we are informed the drive is effortless and listening to the 'purr' of the engine enhances the enjoyment of owning such a vehicle. Finished in light metallic blue with contrasting interior and with the desirable hardtop, this car is supplied with a V5C registration document and MoT test certificate valid until December 2023. This fine example can be enjoyed immediately and is ready for the coming summer months.
