One of the rarest Porsches ever built will take top billing at the Creative Rides Winter Auction, which will take place on Saturday, 12 July at the Creative Rides Showroom in Bryanston.
But this headline car is just the beginning of a spectacular line-up, with over 40 classic and collector vehicles, including a wide selection of other rare Porsches, sought-after BMWs, and South African motoring legends going under the hammer.
At the centre of the action is a 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster, a car born from nostalgia and engineered for performance. First previewed as a concept at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Speedster hit production two years later as a radical reinterpretation of the 1955 original.
Only 2 104 Speedsters were produced globally in 1989, and just 139 in right-hand drive. This particular example is one of only 64 UK RHD units and the sole known example on the African continent. It’s a wide-bodied, factory Turbo-look car currently fitted with 964-series rear panels and RUF wheels, though the original bodywork is included. A unicorn for any collector.
But the rarities don’t stop there. Also crossing the block is an exquisite 1958 Mercedes-Benz 220S Cabriolet, one of only 22 right-hand-drive factory-built units in existence. Fresh from a full nut-and-bolt restoration, this cream-over-red stunner represents the pinnacle of post-war German craftsmanship and elegance, powered by a 2.2-litre straight six.
From across the channel comes the 1962 Jaguar E-Type Series 1, a matching-numbers “flat floor” coupe with a chassis number in the 500s - confirming it as one of the earliest production examples. It is fully restored and complete with original wire wheels, tool kit and knock-off hammer.
Among the most anticipated lots is an undisputed legend of the muscle car era - the 1969 Dodge Charger Hemi Restomod. A poster child for raw American power, it began life as a genuine 440 R/T and has been transformed into a no-limits modern muscle machine.
And beyond these showstoppers lies an incredible variety of collectable machines, including multiple classic Porsche 911s, BMW M performance models, and South African legends the Chevrolet SS, Ford Capri Perana, Chevrolet Firenza CanAM, the Ford Fairmont GT and more.
The Creative Rides Winter Auction kicks off at 11:00am on Saturday, 12 July, at the company’s signature showroom in Main Road, Bryanston. For those unable to attend in person, the event will be streamed live on YouTube, offering collectors around the world a front-row seat at the action.
