Lot 405
A smartly presented, UK-supplied example finished in perhaps the best colour combination and from the final year of production.In terms of the 928, in 1989 Porsche moved the game on with the even more powerful 928 GT, which with a top speed of around 170mph was the Stuttgart firm's fastest production car at that time, before launching the model's ultimate incarnation, the 928 GTS. Introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1991, the latter boasted a 5.4-litre engine producing all of 345bhp and automatics were fitted with the much faster responding Dynamic Kickdown gearboxes setting them apart from the previous models. Externally, the GTS differed from the S4 with its new style of alloy wheels, flared rear arches and a body-coloured rear spoiler. What Porsche was not advertising when the 928 GTS was released was the price, which was amongst the most expensive cars on the road at the time. This severely hampered sales despite the model's level of competency and long standard equipment list. Porsche discontinued the GTS in 1995 after selling only 2,904 examples in total, which at the time must have been financially uncomfortable for the company, but in 2022 makes these models exquisitely rare and very desirable.928s finished in gleaming black with a black leather interior tend to have a slightly 'menacing' look and that is certainly the case with this impressive GTS. UK-supplied and first registered on the 26th June 1995, it was finished in Schwartz (741) with a matching black leather interior and benefitted from the latest, Dynamic Kickdown automatic gearbox. Offered to auction having covered just 60,553 miles which is supported by the maintenance history made up of main dealers and Porsche specialists. We understand that the car will be serviced by a noted specialist prior to its delivery to auction.Very few luxury GT cars from the 1990s have been so revered as the Porsche 928 GTS, and today it is rare to find a rival that is without the histrionics of contemporary exotica or the dullness of a mass-produced luxury saloon-derived coupé. It's presented to auction after a £1,500 ceramic coating by Marells of Uckfield, a well stamped service book, handbooks enclosed in its wallet, historic MOT certificates, freshly MOTd and serviced by a Porsche specialist ready for the car’s next adventure.

Lot 417
One of only 33 UK-supplied examples, two owners in total, just 22,000 miles from new and a full Audi service history.Audi AG’s involvement with motorsport seems fairly recent compared to their competitors Mercedes-Benz and BMW whose trophy cabinets bulge with silverware from many decades past, however, three of the companies that merged to form Auto Union AG and subsequently Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer, have very respectable histories in circuit racing and hill-climbs so the DNA was undoubtedly there. Not long after Auto Union and NSU merged to become the current day Audi AG, a motorsport programme was on the agenda and the name is now synonymous with success having dominated Group-A rallying in the 1980s, years of good results in the DTM and other Touring Car and Supertouring Championships in the 1990s and beyond, followed by starting the new millennium with three consecutive victories at the ‘24 Hours of Le Mans’, a race widely regarded as the pinnacle of motorsport.During these periods, Audi released sportier versions into the top-end of their road-going model line-up as a nod to the success they were enjoying in motorsport. The RS4 and RS6 were most notably well received and led to RS versions of most of the model line up, however, Audi didn’t have much supercar heritage until, in 2006, they took a bold step to show the world that they could also build such a car and the R8 was the result.The R8 is a two seat, mid-engine supercar positioned as Audi’s flagship model (a title it still holds today). It was launched in 2007 with two engines, the 4.2-litre FSI V8 and the 5.2-litre FSI V10 and uses Audi’s legendary Quattro four-wheel drive system which has been honed through decades of motorsport. It’s cutting-edge design, and performance to match, gained great acclaim in the motoring press and proved the car earned its place in the supercar arena along with the likes of Porsche, Ferrari, and McLaren.But can you make the best even better? Audi AG’s private subsidiary company ‘Audi Sport GmbH’ answered that question in 2011 by developing a very special model in-house which would be produced in limited numbers and named it the R8 ‘GT’. The brief in short was simple ‘more power, less weight’. Introduced at the 2010 Wörthersee Tour, the Audi R8 GT (coupé) is a high-performance variant of the R8 V10 and was followed by its sunshine sibling, the R8 GT Spyder, unveiled at the 2011 '24 Hours of Le Mans'. Limited to only 333 units worldwide, the R8 GT Spyder combines the aggressiveness of the R8 GT with an open top driving experience.At £158,145 when new, the R8 GT Spyder was Audi’s most expensive road car to date (over £40,000 more than the standard V10 Spyder). Specification highlights include a power increase of 35bhp to 553bhp, carbon ceramic brakes, and a traditional spring suspension set-up (that sits 10mm lower than the standard V10’s variable Magnetic Ride system). The engine frame is made of ultra-light magnesium and the soft top cover and the large side panels at the rear are formed from carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP). CFRP is also used for the modified front spoiler, the fixed rear spoiler, and the new rear bumper and even the seats are made of carbon fibre which result in a weight saving of 32kg alone. Together, these components provide a weight saving of 85kg compared to the standard V10 Spyder and the resultant 197 mph top speed and 0-62 mph sprint time of 3.8 seconds make the GT a true supercar – but one you could easily use every day.The car presented here is a UK-supplied (one of just 33 we understand) 2013 Audi R8 (Type 42) GT Spyder, presented in striking Sphere Blue matt paintwork (a rare colour chosen by Audi for many of the PR images of the GT model at launch) and has been enjoyed by just two owners (in total), with our private vendor having purchased it in 2016. Naturally, it has a full Audi service history (see images; N.B. there is a typo written in the service booklet - the service at 6,506 miles should read 14/05/15 as per the Service History Certificate) ensuring that its highly conservative 22,000 miles have been enjoyed in fine mechanical health and the appearance and condition of the whole car reflect its fastidious upkeep, garaging and low mileage shared between just two diligent owners. Our guide price is truly attractive given all the factors – ability, rarity, history, condition, and sheer usability for what is arguably the world’s most approachable ‘supercar’.(The registration 'R8 XDT' will be coming with the car)SpecificationMake: AUDIModel: R8 GT SPYDERYear: 2013Chassis Number: WUAZZZ428CN910163Registration Number: R8 XDTTransmission: Semi-automaticEngine Number: CMPA001540 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 22000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images
Lot 443
One of only six factory-built cars in the UK.Introduced in 2002, after some five years in development, the R230 Series SL Roadster was an engineering tour de force. Painstakingly modelled on a state-of-the-art supercomputer which enabled the designers to analyse every curve and line, it looked utterly sensational with an air of barely contained aggression that gave it huge road presence. With its balletic folding roof that takes less than 20 seconds and packed full of sophisticated electronic driver aids which made it immensely safe but still fun to drive, it was an instant success and is widely considered to be the best-looking Mercedes for many years. However, they were produced in commercial numbers, and there are always enthusiasts who would like something a little more exclusive and that market was catered for by Mercedes’ Performance Division, AMG, who in 2003 introduced their SL55AMG. Seriously powerful and impressively fast, the supercharged 5.4-litre V8 was rated at 493bhp and the AMG was fitted with larger wheels, bigger brakes, uprated electronics and some subtle cosmetic changes. The SL55AMG was expensive, exclusive and rather special but, as always, they were one or two customers for whom it wasn’t quite special enough and, for those discerning individuals, the Holy Grail was the Brabus K8.BRABUS GmbH is a German high-performance automotive aftermarket tuning company founded in 1977 in Bottrop. Their ‘K8’ was launched at the Geneva Salon and marketed as a ‘performance kit’ but in truth it’s considerably more than that. The engine modifications require that each Brabus dealer has a dedicated engine builder and similarly the suspension, electronic and cosmetic changes all require experienced specialists, hardly a ‘kit’. The engine modifications were primarily to the supercharger drive with a custom vibration damper and a new pulley for improved belt-drive geometry, high-performance metal catalysts, and an auxiliary circulation pump with opposing radiator. This raised output to a minimum of 530bhp and a tree stump-pulling torque of 572 lbs.ft. and, when he was fully happy, the engine builder signed a small brass plaque and attached it to the top of the engine. Brabus also tweak the car's aerodynamics to enhance high speed stability with a new front spoiler, while a more prominent diffuser works the air harder at the back to increase downforce. Underneath, the car's active body control suspension was recalibrated using an electronic module for the ABC, lowering ride height by 15mm, and the braking system was uprated by the Brabus engineers. Whilst the additional 40 odd bhp produce a small increase in performance, we understand that it’s the K8’s amazing handling that takes the SL55 to another level.The redesigned side skirts create an aerodynamic transition between the wheel arches and feature automatic illumination of the ground whenever the door is opened and the new rear apron incorporates a subtly altered diffuser. Externally, these modifications are not immediately noticeable which cannot be said about the striking polished 20” Brabus ‘Monoblock’ wheels.On offer here we have an original UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55AMG developed to Brabus K8 specification at the factory during February 2003 before being delivered on 28/05/2003. It’s finished in gleaming Obsidian Black with an ‘exclusive’ Black/Anthracite leather interior and a Designo Alcantara roof lining in Alpaca Grey. It was well optioned from new (Panoramic glass roof, alarm, phone prep, Parktronic, Keyless-go, CD changer etc.) and would have cost around £165,000 at the time. The indicated mileage when photographed was 49,512 and the car has been in present ownership for the last ten years during which time it has been maintained to the highest of standards with recent expenditure covering two new batteries, fuel pump pressure sender, rear driveshafts, ABC pump and thrust arm. The ABC front struts have also been replaced and, more recently, brand new Brabus Monoblock VI wheels with Vredestein tyres have been fitted to further enhance this already head-turning Mercedes. A 5-year ceramic coating was applied last year alongside a deep clean and full paint correction. The car is accompanied by two spare keys, the full book pack and numerous invoices.This is a very rare car in wonderful condition and, if ever a car was worth a trip to inspect, then this is and you won’t be disappointed.

Lot 478
Number 236 of 500, fresh to market after 12 years of single ownership.The original Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was the first Ford to wear the Cosworth badge and was presented to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1985. It was introduced as a means of homologating the Sierra for 'Group A' Touring Car racing, with a requirement that 5,000 cars were built and sold. Launched for sale in July 1986, and based on the three-door Sierra body-shell, it was designed by Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) and was powered by a Cosworth-designed 2.0-litre turbo engine of now-legendary repute. At this time, the Sierra Cosworth was a new kind of performance car - a 'blue-collar hero' able to humble true sports cars!In total 5,545 cars were produced - of which 500 were sent to Aston Martin Tickford for conversion to the Sierra 'RS500 Cosworth'. If the RS Cosworth was a homologation car, the RS500 was an evolution special. Once Ford had built the requisite 5,000 RS Cosworths, 'Group A' rules allowed an upgraded 'evolution' model to be launched. This could carry changes focused on improving its racing potential, provided Ford sold 10% of the original number as road cars, hence the 500. The RS500 was announced in July 1987 and had a mechanically uprated Cosworth engine (more similar to the one to be used in competition), with power boosted to 224 bhp, upgraded brakes, modified bodywork and the cachet of being hand-assembled - the RS500 really is the ultimate 1980s Fast Ford!A500 EVO was first registered as OC 9198 on 1st September 1987 and supplied by Gordon Ford of Colwyn Bay to a Mr O. Cerefice from Rhyl. Chassis 236/500 retains its original engine and gearbox and remains finished in black, one of the only three colours available. Since 2010, it has been professionally stored by our vendor during his ownership and has seldom been used. The history file, with service and maintenance records, invoices and MOTs confirms the indicated mileage of 60,002 as genuine. The car has spent several lengthy periods off the road but regularly maintained as corroborated by the 10 main dealer service stamps in the record, with the last stamp at 54,996 by John Grose Ford Centre and the most recent maintenance was completed at 58,044 by David Coe of Auto Engineering Centre Performance & Tuning Specialists in Swansea.The car's overall condition is wholly commensurate with its age and indicated mileage, and with recent careful ownership and sympathetic recommissioning, including a full detail and ceramic coating, all of which is documented online. Chassis 236/500 is supplied with its original service book, handbook, audio book, UK V5C, spare keys and, pleasingly, Cherished Registration, A500 EVO, is included within the sale. An early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to acquaint yourself with this super Cosworth.
