Behold: the 1975 Porsche 911 Coupe, but not just any old 1975 Porsche 911 Coupe.
This ‘tribute’ vehicle, which started life as a 911S has been extensively modified by Patrick Motorsports, fitted with RSR-style steel fenders and older “long hood”, along with 934/935-style mirrors, round taillights and a one-off custom paintjob. A 964-era 3.6-litre flat-six has been bored out to 3.8 litres and fitted with twin turbochargers, delivering over 550bhp.
Price on application.

Behold: the BMW K1100S – a heavily modified R1100S created by Milan-based Officine Mermaid and Radikal Chopper which recently won the coveted ‘Best In Show’ award at the 2020 Motorbike Expo in Verona.
Not much remains of the donor bike beyond the powertrain and swing arm. The rest is an intricate, alloy-clad work of hog art with a custom two piece chassis, one-off fender, headlight, Discacciati brakes, clip-ons, levers, top triple and ornate fluid reservoirs
You can’t have it. It’s just for looking at.

Behold: the 1958 Ferrari 250GT LWB California Spider – the long wheel base version of the replica featured in’ Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’.
Right now, both are up for auction.
Between 1957 and 1963, only 107 were made and this V12 was the seventh to leave the factory. Sold new in Geneva, it has passed though the hands of a Swiss and a Japanese owner before ending up in California where it was restored, bestowed with Ferrari Classiche certification and presented for sale: yours for (probably) considerably less than the SWB fake from the movie.
Classic sweetie, bar, tart, pop and gum wrappers from the book ‘Wrappers Delight’ (containing 500 such items presented alphabetically) by collector John Townsend.

Behold: the 1929 Mercedes Benz 710 SS Sport Tourer – capable of 200km/h, it was the undisputed supercar of its day and remains one of the most sought-after vehicles in the world.
With a massive 7.1 litre supercharged inline six engine capable of 200km/h this car was shipped to New York before returning to Paris, where it received bodywork from the firm Fernandez & Darrin, run by American coachbuilder Howard “Dutch” Darrin.
Yours for a trifling €8,000,000 (if you’re lucky).
