R1.175m: 1972 Ford Fairmont GT, a Concours condition legendary V8 in white, sporting the distinctive black GT stripes. Another SA auction record for this model, it was the subject of fierce bidding between Australia and South Africa, but the local team won. The previous auction record for this car was R925 000.

R820 000: 1975 Volkswagen Kombi Splitty, an iconic and highly sought-after classic beautifully restored in two-tone metallic red and white with a pristine red interior. It is one of the best examples to ever have come up at auction in this country, and set an SA auction record for the model.
R750 000: 1969 Holden Monaro GTS, a love story wrapped up in steel. This car had only one owner and was a gift from a husband to his young bride. After spending its life in Johannesburg, this car will now be relocating to a new family in Australia.
R500 000: 1942 Harley Davidson 10/12 with sidecar, this beaty in forest green is registered with the SA Vintage and Veterans Association, and is one of the most sympathetically restored American cult motorbikes on SA roads.
