- This 2011 Mercedes SLS AMG is a superb example of the marque’s acclaimed ‘gull-wing’ grand tourer. Under the long bonnet is a 6.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 “Hammer”, driving the rear wheels via a seven-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch automatic gearbox with paddle shift. The odometer reads a scant 15,700km from new. This 2011 Mercedes SLS AMG is Finished in the elegant […]

The styling had more than a few nods to the Enzo hypercar, too, the […]

- 2012 Ferrari 458 Spider Although spec sensitive, the right 458 can always be a sound and fun investment. Their sustainable value is solidified by constant demand, and their proven track record of reliability is probably just as important. It is the very last Pininfarina-penned mid-engined Ferrari V8. The 458 is a culmination of so much of what’s important in mid-engined […]
- 2006 Mini Cooper S. So you’ve noticed the unique bits of spoilerage – the carbon fibre wing on the roof is particularly eye catching. Apparently they were actually designed in a wind-tunnel. The 18-inch wheels were a new introduction and each of the 2000 cars has its production number stickered on to the top of the roof. Oh, and did […]
- 2010 Mercedes 500SL Roadster This face-lifted 500SL roadster is an iconic sports car and a direct descendant of the legendary 300SL “Gullwing” of the 1950s.
