Ferrari 250 GTE Series 1 (1962)
Estimate: €449.500,-
When Ferrari introduced the 250 GTE in the early 1960s, it marked a notable moment within the model range of the Maranello based marque. For the first time Ferrari presented a car that not only combined speed and engineering with elegant design, but also offered space for four occupants. The 250 GTE 2 plus 2 was introduced in 1960 and represented an important expansion of the well known 250 series, which played a central role in Ferrari history throughout the nineteen fifties and sixties.
The foundation was based on the familiar platform of the 250 models, combined with a longer wheelbase. By positioning the engine slightly further forward within the chassis, space was created for two additional seats in the rear. The bodywork was designed and built by Pininfarina, responsible during this period for many of Ferrari’s most recognizable designs.
Beneath the long hood lies the well known 3.0 liter Colombo V12, designed by Gioacchino Colombo. This lightweight twelve cylinder engine formed the technical backbone of many Ferrari models from this era. In the 250 GTE it produces approximately 240 horsepower and is renowned for its smooth character and distinctive sound. The model designation 250 refers to the displacement per cylinder, a naming tradition Ferrari frequently applied at the time.

Within Ferrari’s history there are a few models that immediately capture the attention of enthusiasts and collectors. The Ferrari 599 GTO undoubtedly belongs to that group. It is a car derived from Ferrari’s program of track focused models and subsequently adapted for use on public roads.
The foundation for the 599 GTO lies with the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. This model was introduced in 2006 as the successor to the 575M Maranello and for many years represented Ferrari’s front engine V12 grand tourer. The design immediately stood out with its long hood, compact cabin and distinctive rear section featuring the characteristic flying buttresses.

Mercedes Benz and AMG. Today it is a combination so familiar that it almost goes unnoticed. But in the early 1990s it was something quite different. AMG was based in Affalterbach and built cars for clients who looked beyond the standard order sheet. No mass production, no uniform specifications. Simply faster, sharper and more personal. It was exactly in that period that this car came into existence.
The 300 CE 24 AMG 3.4 Cabriolet. Based on the W124, a model renowned for its solid build quality and refined driving comfort. Yet AMG saw room for more. The well known 3.0 liter M104 engine was enlarged to 3.4 liters. It may sound like a modest increase, but in practice it transforms the entire driving experience. More smoothness, greater torque and above all an engine that responds with greater urgency.

There are moments when a car manufacturer shows exactly what it is capable of. Porsche has done this more than once. In the 1970s with the 911 Carrera RS, in the 1980s with the 959, and at the beginning of this century with the Carrera GT. And then things went quiet for a while, until suddenly, in 2010 at the Geneva Motor Show, a concept car appeared that would later become the 918 Spyder.
Where many manufacturers choose one clear direction, Porsche decided to take a different approach. No compromise between performance and technology, but everything at once. Beneath the surface lies a 4.6-liter V8, high-revving and without turbochargers. Impressive in its own right, but that is only half the story. Porsche combined this engine with a hybrid system featuring two electric motors.

Very special: this is the official AC Heritage certified ex Le Mans Works car. The very AC that was prepared in 1957 by Ken Rudd for participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The AC that finished second in the 2 liter class and tenth overall as the only production based car in the field.
This Ace was extensively reengineered by Ken Rudd specifically for Le Mans. The original engine was replaced with a race prepared Bristol 100D2 unit, paired with a Bristol gearbox featuring revised ratios and a differential with a modified final drive.
Panhard X86 Dolomites Pichon-Parat (1954)
Estimate: €129.750,-
In the early nineteen fifties Panhard introduced the Dyna, a lightweight and technically interesting car featuring front wheel drive and a two cylinder boxer engine. Thanks to its low weight and excellent road holding several coachbuilders recognized it as an ideal foundation for a sporting berlinetta. At the Paris Motor Show in October 1953 Bernard Pichon and André Parat presented their interpretation: the Dolomites.
The bodywork was entirely new. Slim, low and clearly focused on speed. One of its defining features is the split windshield, a detail that immediately gives the car a distinctive character. The Dolomites quickly attracted drivers who were looking for a light and agile car suitable for competition.
The example offered here belongs to the early production series and was originally ordered by Laurent Sagnier, who commissioned the car with competition use in mind. Shortly after its delivery in May 1954, the vehicle was taken to the workshop of Pichon and Parat, where its bodywork was installed.
That same year the car appeared at the start of the 1954 Tour de France Automobile. Sagnier competed together with Robert Lachaux. Participation in this event clearly demonstrated the intended purpose of the Dolomites: long and demanding rallies where speed, reliability and agility are essential.
Mercedes-Benz 500 GE V8 “The trendsetter in 1993” (1993)
Estimate: €89.500,-
Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Today, you see them pulling up in front of hotels and fine restaurants. Large wheels, powerful engines, fully equipped in every sense. But it was not always like that. When the G-Class was introduced in 1979, it was a simple off-road vehicle. Functional, robust, but certainly not designed to impress. And then, in 1993, something changed.
Mercedes-Benz realized the G-Class could be more than just practical. The Mercedes-Benz 500 GE V8 was created, though never truly “officially” introduced. This version can be seen as a model intended for customers who were already familiar with a G-Class or an S-Class.
Under the hood sits a 5.0-liter V8, the well-known M117. No exaggerated figures by today’s standards, but for a G-Class at the time, it was truly remarkable: 240 horsepower and 375 Nm of torque. Not built for racing, but designed to go anywhere with ease, in a way that simply did not exist in this segment before.
Technically, several upgrades were made as well. Think of a revised suspension, ventilated front disc brakes, ABS, and wider tires mounted on alloy wheels. And inside? The experience became noticeably more comfortable than what you would normally expect from a G-Class.

The McLaren Senna is a remarkable automobile. Named after the legendary Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna, it embodies a clear focus on lightweight construction and extreme performance. While it is largely based on the McLaren 720S, closer inspection reveals a wide array of advanced aerodynamic elements. The example offered here takes this philosophy even further.
This is the Senna LM. Developed by McLaren Special Operations, the division where individual requests are transformed into reality and where highly exclusive series are created far beyond the standard range. Production numbers are extremely limited and specifications such as this example in Papaya Orange were delivered only in very small quantities. Seven to be exact. A McLaren is already something exceptional, but this Senna LM elevates that to an entirely different level.
BMW Z8 Roadster (2002)
Estimate: €234.500,-
BMW Z8 Roadster V8 – Titanium Silver – Only 50,000 km – Collector Grade
When BMW introduced the Z8 in the late 1990s, it was immediately clear where the inspiration came from. The design pays tribute to the legendary BMW 507 of the 1950s, with its long hood, short overhangs, and unmistakable proportions. A modern interpretation of an icon. Its appearance in the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough only reinforced its status as one of the most desirable modern BMW collector cars.
While the BMW Z8 may look like it belongs to another era, its engineering is thoroughly modern. Under the hood lies the renowned 5.0-liter V8 from the BMW M5, producing 400 horsepower and paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. Performance remains impressive even today, with a 0–100 km/h time of approximately 4 seconds. However, the Z8 is not just about performance figures—it is about the complete driving experience.
The Z8 is built entirely from aluminum, including both the chassis and body. This results in a relatively low weight and an almost perfect 50:50 weight distribution. The outcome is a BMW Z8 roadster that feels balanced, composed, and engaging, whether cruising or driving dynamically.
