Taking place September 4th, buyers from all over the world can participate online with Proxibid by visiting the catalog. Here are 11 of the cars you need to see at Salon Privé:

1990 Mercedes Benz 190

  1. Lot 257 – 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II: This Evo II is number 452 of 502 cars ever made and was supplied new to the U.K. in 1990. It was purchased by a collector and stored at a dealer for approximately 10 years, only covering a few road miles during this period. Today, the vehicle has covered just 885 miles.
  2. Lot 258 – 1968 Shelby GT500 : An American classic, this Shelby has covered just 200 fine-weather miles in the last six years and has been kept in pristine condition. It was ordered new in 1967 and delivered to Joe Myers Ford in Houston with the fantastic 428ci 4-Valve engine. This extremely rare Shelby GT500 is surely the ultimate ‘Muscle Car’ and is one of the finest examples in Europe.
  3. Lot 204 – 1990 Audi RS Quattro Turbo 20v: In show condition, this best-of-breed example is extremely clean and shows a total mileage of just 16,231. This vehicle features a manual 4-speed wide-ratio transmission, power disc brakes and power steering.

  5. Lot 209 – 1973 Citroen DS Super 5: Having undergone a high quality restoration and featured on both Top Gear and Fifth Gear, this example is delivered with a full history of photographic restoration folders, 150 magazine features, and more. It simply must be seen to be believed.
  6. Lot 211 – 1998 Ferrari 550 Maranello: Delivered new to the Isle of Man from an official Ferrari dealer in 1998, the vehicle has covered just 1,977 miles since. It has clearly been meticulously maintained, carrying an estimate of £180,000.
