We’ve caught wind of a fascinating tale suggesting that Niki Lauda once took the wheel of one of these beauties. Upon gazing at the impeccable condition of this BMW, it’s easy to entertain such a notion. This particular BMW belongs to the era known as the NEUE KLASSES, a phase that pulled BMW back from the brink. The 1602 model, in particular, played the role of a savior. Without this very 1600 model, the E21 and E30 3 Series might never have come to fruition, possibly leaving BMW in dire straits during the 1980s.
“Neue Klasse,” when translated to English, signifies “New Class.” BMW initially applied this term to its groundbreaking sedans of the 1960s and 1970s. The 1602 stands as the compact engine iteration of the beloved 2002—a 1602 badge on a 2002, or the reverse, could easily deceive most observers. Our own 1602 possesses decent performance, and a bit of TLC could easily restore it to greatness. Despite its small 1600 engine and manual gearbox, this little beast proves incredibly fuel-efficient. For dedicated BMW enthusiasts, this specimen is an absolute gem—a sound investment, although the ultimate judgment rests with you.
The Fiat 1100 was introduced in 1937 and produced until 1953. Initially launched as the Fiat 508 C or the Balilla 1100, it took over the Fiat 508 Balilla. The 508 C boasted a refined, modernized body compared to the original 508 Balilla, along with a larger overhead valve engine and an independent front suspension.
In 1939, the model underwent updates and a complete renaming, simply becoming the Fiat 1100. However, production of the last series concluded in 1953, leading to the replacement of the Fiat 508 C by the Fiat 1100/103.
This Fiat still retains its well-preserved original upholstery. Some components like lights and trim parts have been replaced over time.
In 1925, Giovanni Moretti established the Moretti Motor Company, a firm that crafted motorcycles using his own designs alongside those of other companies.

In 1953, they introduced the 750 model in various versions such as coupes, taxis, single-seat racing cars, and berlinas. However, the late 1950s saw a halt in car design and production, and by 1989, Moretti ceased all operations.
Now, turning to the Moretti Tour du Monde 750 coupe, it stands as one of only 9 meticulously handcrafted specimens and holds the distinction of being an exceedingly rare right-hand drive model. Following a careful restoration spanning 2 years at Classic Car Restorations, the coupe was revived to its original colors with rejuvenated leather upholstery. Though some minor mechanical enhancements were undertaken, its usage has been sparing.

Although the Volkswagen Beetle was designed in the 1930s, production was delayed until the late 1940s due to World War II. Initially labeled as the Volkswagen Type 1, subsequent models followed. Recognized as the “Käfer” in Germany (meaning Beetle in German) and “Coccinelle” in France (translated as ladybug in French), this Beetle represents an evolved iteration. Unlike its predecessors with split oval rear windows, this version boasts a single oval rear window, a change implemented between October 1952 and March 1953.
Among the variants, this particular “ladybug” stands as one of the most prized Beetles in our auction lineup. While some restoration work is required, its remarkable originality sets it apart.

Between 1966 and 1973, Fiat manufactured the Dino, a rear-wheel-drive sports car featuring a front engine.

In 1967, Formula 2 regulations stipulated the use of six-cylinder engines, requiring a production run of at least 500 units within 12 months. Consequently, Fiat and Ferrari struck an agreement, with Fiat responsible for producing the requisite 500 engines.
This particular Dino 2400 Coupe, initially adorned in silver-blue, underwent a transformation when its present owner applied a Ferrari Giallo (yellow) spray-paint finish. Notably, the car has undergone significant improvements, including overhauls of the fuel system, brakes, and cooling system. Remaining specimens of this model are scarce in South Africa. Could this one potentially become part of your collection?

When it comes to Lamborghini’s from the 1980s, the most renowned and iconic model was the Countach. However, the lesser-known Jalpa might even be more elusive, with only 419 units produced, and a mere 34 of them being Right Hand Drive variants. This Lamborghini was specifically crafted to rival Ferrari’s 308 during that era. Similar to the Ferrari, the Jalpa housed a 3.5 V8 engine mounted transversely in the chassis, resulting in a mid-engine setup. Moreover, the tuned V8 provided an exhilarating experience, positioned right behind the driver.

BMW and Herbert Hartge wouldn’t mind us affectionately dubbing this beauty as “THE GOAT” because, truthfully, this BMW truly lives up to that moniker. In 1971, Herbert Hartge laid the foundation of his eponymous company, specializing in enhancing BMW cars. Over time, Hartge earned recognition as a standalone car manufacturer, allowing them to designate their creations as Hartge products rather than modified BMWs. Our 1988 model, known as the “GOAT,” showcases Hartge’s prowess.
Let’s delve into how Hartge meticulously refined this BMW. The H23 model closely resembled the modified 323i Alpina C1 2.3. Taking the 170hp 2.3-liter engine as a base, Hartge adopted similar enhancements used by Alpina, incorporating an improved camshaft, a forged piston-equipped cylinder head for higher compression. After undergoing a significant transformation, this vehicle ceased to be ordinary; it now stands as an extraordinary marvel in every aspect.

It’s also equipped with the most potent engines available within the F-150/Ranger range. Sporting broader fenders and a distinctive grille design, featuring prominent “FORD” lettering in place of the Ford Blue Oval emblem, the Raptor stands as an emblem of Ford’s iconic F-150 nameplate—a nameplate that boasts the highest cumulative sales across its production history, surpassing all other automobiles globally.
The specific example we present has undergone extensive modifications, setting it apart from the typical F-150 Raptor SVT. After undergoing a right-hand-drive conversion in Canada, the vehicle made its way to South Africa in 2015 and was duly registered for local road use. From the factory, it inherits SVT performance enhancements including adjustable coilovers and SVT suspension sway bars. Customized additions encompass a winch, air compressor, ‘Baja’ styled front and rear bumpers, Mickey Thompson mud terrain tires, upgraded exhaust, supplementary lighting, an enhanced sound system, upgraded differentials, and Fox shock absorbers with reservoirs. Notably, a Roush supercharger has been integrated into the 6.2L V8 engine, elevating its output to around 700bhp. This F-150 Raptor SVT truly embodies a formidable entity, deserving an in-person encounter to fully grasp its commanding presence.

Additionally, a comprehensive tire pressure-monitoring system, high-performance free-flow exhaust, and an extended-range fuel tank elevate its capabilities.
Cosmetic enhancements are equally striking, including a new bonnet, grille, top-tier JW Speaker LED lights, a compact bull bar housing a Warn winch, a concise rear bar accompanied by a spare wheel carrier, and a prominent LED light bar. Inside the cabin, a dual-battery system intertwined with rooftop solar panels, an upscale Rockford Fosgate sound system, and a sPOD power management system redefine comfort and convenience. The cabin’s aesthetics have been thoughtfully color-coordinated, featuring subtle touches of yellow accents.
