Truly a rare find, a RHD Porsche 911 Carerra Targa top. With only 1125 of the Targa top variants produced with most of those being LHD this is a true survivor. The 1970s is where Porsche really started to shine as it was introducing technologies what were considered groundbreaking; notably the introduction of the turbo charger. In other ways Porsche, at the time, was also seen as pushing the...

This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 300E 3.2L AMG shares its extroverted bodywork with the 6.0L V8-powered Hammer, but is instead powered by a bored and stroked version of the standard M103 inline-six paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission. This AMG was recently imported from Japan and shows just 79k kilometers (~49k miles) from new. This pre-merger car has strong cosmetics inside and out, and benefits...

Enhanced by renowned tuners Tommykaira, this 190E was recently advertised at $17,900 (USD), listed here on Mendel's Garage. Despite their reputation for modifying Japanese domestic market cars, TommyKaira's first couple of vehicles were in fact German. The quality of the Benz vehicles in the 80s meant they were exceptionally popular in Japan, and TommyKaira saw an opportunity to provide a home...

Although the 1980s was not great to american cars in general (case and point what Ford had done to the muted Mustang) this was a car that stood out in both classic 80s styling and keeping inline with what an American car had been made famous for; a V8 up front and moving wheels at the rear on a live rear axel. Featuring the 350 block (upgraded from the 305 block) the GTA produced 245HP at the rear...

This 1977 Alfasud is currently advertised on Ebay Australia, with an opening bid of $6,500 (AUD). The car appears to be in amazing overall condition for an unrestored example, with the seller noting it is 99% rust free. The motor, however, is not original and has been replaced by a twin-carb unit from a later model (we presume the 1490cc engine introduced with the Ti from 1980). For the...

This is an extremely rare variant of the 560 SEL (the SEL +L) and is known as Mercedes Benz Carat by Duchatelet, a ultra luxury limousine model. There are believed to only be 17 of this particular model in the world. Like the regular SELs it is noticeable by the (large for the time) 17 inch wide dish alloy wheels and the 5.6L V8 mated to a 4 speed automatic gearbox. This car was the symbol of...

In the 1960s as the Volkswagen car company was growing there was a distinct need for the company to produce a lightweight sports car for the masses. The Karmann was Volkswagen's answer to the flurry of sports coups being produced by competing companies such as MG and even Ford with its Mustang (although this was a much larger car). The Karmann was based off the VW Beetle chassis (widened by 300mm)...

Another XE ESP on the register - this one was advertised in April 2017, asking a very big $50,000. This one's a factory 302 V8, and we presume a matching numbers car.
