This 1954 Beetle has undergone an extensive and expensive restoration by the previous owner. Fitted with a Typ1 VW motor and increased in capacity to somewhere around 2.4 litre, this Beetle is a real sleeper. The 1954 model has the 'oval window' which is very desirable. Finished in period colour green exterior, and fitted with genuine Porsche fuchs wheels, it certainly has street presence. Very quick, relative loud, and seriously fun to drive, this Beetle is the one to have you are going to have one.

1955/6 Porsche 356 A Sunroof Coupe

admin — Mon, 24 Jun 2013 02:26:47 +0000

When the first Porsche was brought to Australia by the Hamilton's in 1952, they would not know what success the Porsche brand would bring the family over the next 30 years. The 356 was a runaway success all over the world.

This example was delivered new into Melbourne in 1956 and was one of only 5 356 coupes delivered with a sunroof in that year. The car was originally ivory with green interior. When acquired by Porsche Classics in 2001, the car was in need of restoration, and over the next 6 years the car went to all our best contractors to return the car to its former glory. Stewart was not a fan of the ivory paint scheme, and instead opted for a special silver colour that was taken from Mercedes Benz. This colour has a green hue, that accentuates and captures the green interior to provide a breathtaking combination between paint and interior. Finished with Marshal driving lights, rudge wheels, and rear window blind, this sunroof A is truly beautiful.

admin — Fri, 09 May 2014 01:02:09 +0000

The Fiat 1200 was introduced in Turin Motor Show in November 1957 and is prized by collectors for its cuteness.[2] The 1200 Fiat or Granluce Fiat 1200, was intended to replace the Fiat 1100-103 TV - Turismo Veloce. The 1200 was equipped with a new engine of 1,221 cc, developing 55 PS (40 kW). Based around this engine, Fiat introduced at the same time the cabriolet version called "Trasformabile", the natural successor to the Fiat 1100-103 Trasformabile. This amazing example is highly original and unmolested. Finished in baby blue, a recent bit of TLC shows how gorgeous this unique Fiat is.

1962 Porsche 356B Notchback

admin — Fri, 09 May 2014 01:20:49 +0000

This car is ready for the serious enthusiast that wants a restoration. This notchback had the roof cut off and a roof comes with this vehicle. The Notchback was actually a cabriolet model with a hard top welded on at the Porsche factory, so many of these cars have been converted in cabriolets over the years, given the superior pricing of an open car. Today the notchback is somewhat rare, and the twin grille T6 version here is one of only a few hundred that remain today. Restore this car as a Cabriolet or a Notchback, either way you will have a wonderful car to enjoy in years to come.

The Notchback was a model created out of necessity as Porsche had too many Cabriolet models from its suppliers. As a result, Porsche created the Notchback as another Coupe offered between 1961 and 1962. The 1961 production run was essentially a cabriolet body with the optional steel cabriolet hardtop welded in place. The 1962 line (T6 production) was a very different design in that the new T6 notchback coupé body did not start life as a cabriolet, but with its own production design—In essence, part cabriolet rear end design, part T6 coupe windshield frame, unique hard top. Both years of these unique cars have taken the name "Karmann Notchback". This car is one of the T6 versions, of which only a few hundred were made. This car was restored over 5 years ago from its original ivory exterior paint and instead painted black. Matched with black carpets and full black leather interior, this car is gorgeous in every way. Subtle improvements such as air conditioning make it an even nicer drive.
