B10 Bi-curious
Hailed as the best four-door in the world by Road & Track when it launched, the Alpina B10 B-Turbo is not only a stunningly handsome saloon, it was also Alpina’s fastest car ever. This 1990 Alpina B10 Bi-Turbo looks as good as any we’ve seen, finished in a perfect shade of Diamond Black Metallic with a Black Buffalo leather interior. Of course, the real showstopper here is that stunning Alpina pin-striping, which instantly lets lesser road users know that this is no ordinary BMW. Despite the relatively high mileage of 206,479 km, this Alpina’s near-pristine condition goes to show that its two previous owners clearly took great care in maintaining this autobahn stormer. If you want to experience one of the greatest super saloons of all time, look no further than this manual beauty.
Djet setter
Here’s a rather unusual little sports car. This, ladies and gents, is a 1967 Matra Djet, designed by René Bonnet based on a Le Mans racer of the same name that finished 17th at the 1962 24 Hour race. This recently restored example features a refurbished - and rather attractive - fibreglass body, draped over a R5 Alpine engine connected to a Renault 12 Gordon gearbox. Light and agile, this is the perfect car to fling around your local backroads on a brisk Sunday morning. If the usual 1960s sports cars simply don’t pique your interest, then this delightful Djet is sure to quicken your pulse.
Factory-fresh FJ
This 1973 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 might be half a century old this year, but judging by these images we’d easily believe it rolled out of the factory yesterday. One of the most legendary and bulletproof off-roaders of all time, the FJ40 single-handedly forged Toyota’s over-landing legacy, taking the fight to Jeeps and Land Rovers of the world. This is as close to a brand-new FJ40 as you’ll ever get, so if the sight of this stunning 4x4’s Capri Blue enamel paint and tan Palomino leather has you dreaming of taking the path less traveled, then don’t hesitate to check out the full listing.
Monza mania
While this may look identical to one of the 190 Alfa Romeo 8Cs built between 1931 and 1934, it’s actually almost a century younger than those legendary pre-war Grand Prix racers. Hand built by the mechanical maestros at Pur Sang in 2008, this tribute has been obsessively recreated from original blueprints using traditional techniques to make a modern-day one-to-one replica. Powered by a 2.6-litre 195 bhp straight-eight, this stunning recreation will allow you to live our your 1930s Grand Prix dreams for a fraction of the cost of a real 8C.
Blue’s cruiser
They say hindsight is twenty-twenty, and now that the 997 911 is two generations old, it’s clear as day that this was a definite high point for the modern performance car, offering a perfect blend of technology and analogue driving bliss. This 2011 Porsche 911 Speedster is one of only 356 models built as a fair-well to the 997, making it one of the rarest 911 variants of its generation. This Pure Blue example shows a mere 19,423 miles on the clock, so it’s a prime candidate for any great Porsche collection. As Porsche continues to push the envelope in terms of road car performance, why not take a moment to savour one of their greatest hits?
