Preview of upcoming Morris Leslie Auction on May 17th
Revamped and Spiced-Up Gist:
Get ready to dive into Morris Leslie's upcoming classic auction, happening in the heart of Perth, Scotland. Over 100 beauties, from sleek sports cars to luxurious classics, are lined up, with more expected as we speak.
The sports cars section is stocked, ranging from a 2007 Mazda MX-5 NC, boasting 65,000 miles, to a 1987 Porsche 924S, rocking the 944's 2.5-liter engine. If you've got around £8K, don’t miss the 1994 968 Cabriolet. Formerly owned by a single enthusiast, a 1985 Bertone-built Fiat X1/9 VS with 48,000 miles is another must-see, priced at £6K-£7K.
Fancy some classic Brits? Check out the 1970 Triumph Spitfire Mk3, sporting rebuilt brakes, a 1500 engine, and neat new wire wheels. Or, set your eyes on the 1971 Lotus Elan Sprint, decked out with choice upgrades, estimated at £25K-£27.5K.
Looking for luxury? Grab a 1996 Mercedes W140 S320 for a steal at £1.5K-£2.25K. Want a fixer-upper? An outwardly neat 1975 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow needs a bit of love but is offered without reserve. For those who prefer older rides, a 1961 Rover P4 100 could be yours for as low as £3K-£3.75K.
Bargains abound, too! A 1961 Wolseley 1500, clocking 60,000 miles (though unverified), may sell for as low as £750-£1,250. A 1995 Volkswagen Golf Mk3 1.4, family-owned for 28 years, is expected to fetch £1K-£1.5K—the same as a 1995 1.8 Cabriolet. A Ford Cougar V6 might go for £2K-£2.75K, whereas a 2000 Mercedes SLK230 Kompressor, having just had bodywork restoration, could be yours for £1.75K-£2.5K.
Don't forget to check out the 30,000-mile Peugeot 106 and the 1987 205 GTI, tastefully upgraded, albeit off the road at present.
