Porsche 911 3.0 SC

Some classic cars are defined by their specification; others by the remarkable stories they carry with them. This exceptionally original Porsche 911 SC is very much the latter.

Supplied new by Chick Iverson Porsche in Newport Beach, California, the car passed into the ownership of a lady in 1980, who would retain it for an extraordinary 38 years. It remained with her until 2018, when its current owner travelled personally to California to inspect the car before arranging for it to be shipped home to the UK.

The result is a wonderfully honest and remarkably preserved early 911 SC. Rather than being restored or cosmetically reinvented, the car remains largely untouched, with its originality proudly on display. There is age-related patina and areas where the paint has worn thin over the years, but this only adds to its character. It has the unmistakable appearance of a car that has lived a cherished life beneath the Californian sun—and possesses a warmth and authenticity that would be almost impossible to recreate.

As one of the earliest examples, manufactured during 1977, it retains several desirable early details, including the rare chrome window trim and its distinctive American-market headlamps. These features, combined with its left-hand-drive configuration and exceptional provenance, give the car a particularly special presence.

Its history is supported by the original paperwork and a substantial folder of invoices and receipts documenting the car’s life. This is not simply a collection of paperwork, but a fascinating record of a 911 that spent almost four decades with the same lady owner before beginning its next chapter in the UK.

Mechanically, the car drives exactly as it should, with no known faults. The air-cooled 3.0-litre flat-six delivers the character, response and unmistakable soundtrack for which the early 911 SC has become so highly regarded.

This is an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally original and deeply characterful Porsche 911. It will appeal to the enthusiast who values provenance, preservation and authenticity above freshly restored perfection—a car whose wonderful patina and remarkable story deserve to be enjoyed and carefully preserved.

Austin Mini – Genuine John Cooper Conversion – Exceptional Restoration

LOWE Classics is delighted to offer what is unquestionably one of the finest and most special Minis we have ever had the pleasure of presenting for sale.

This is one of the very few genuine John Cooper-converted Minis, supported by an extraordinary history file dating back to the very beginning of its life. Most importantly, the documentation includes its original John Cooper invoices, giving the car the provenance required to distinguish it from the many later replicas and tribute cars.

The John Cooper name is inseparable from the Mini’s competition heritage. Cooper immediately recognised the potential within Alec Issigonis’ lightweight design, transforming the modest small car into one of the most successful and recognisable performance cars of its era. Genuine period conversions are now particularly difficult to find—especially with such comprehensive supporting documentation.

Recently restored to an exceptional standard, this example presents beautifully throughout. The quality and attention to detail are immediately apparent, while a substantial collection of invoices records the extensive work completed. Crucially, the restoration has retained the car’s identity, character and remarkable provenance rather than attempting to turn it into something it was never intended to be.

Its original 1.0-litre A-Series engine has been fully refreshed and thoughtfully enhanced using a selection of quality components from renowned Mini engine specialists MED Engineering. Now producing a very healthy 70bhp, it delivers considerably more performance than the figure might initially suggest when combined with the Mini’s exceptionally low weight.

The result is a wonderfully eager and engaging little car. Its crisp throttle response, characteristic A-Series soundtrack and famously direct handling combine to provide the sort of pure driving experience that made the performance Mini a legend in the first place.

What truly sets this car apart is the completeness of the package. It is not simply an attractive restored Mini or a later car wearing Cooper badges; it is a genuine John Cooper conversion with exceptional documentary provenance, its original engine, a superb recent restoration and invoices supporting both its early history and subsequent work.

Opportunities to acquire genuine John Cooper-converted Minis are rare. Finding one restored to this standard and accompanied by such an extensive history file—including its original John Cooper invoices—is rarer still.

This is quite possibly the best Mini we have ever offered for sale and represents an exceptional opportunity for a collector or enthusiast seeking a truly special example whose history fully supports its significance.

Porsche 911 (996) Carrera Coupé TIPTronic

The 996 represents a pivotal chapter in the history of the Porsche 911, combining the everyday usability and performance of a modern sports car with the compact proportions and beautifully balanced driving characteristics for which the 911 has always been renowned.

This particular example stands apart through its exceptional provenance. It has remained with the same owner since 2009—an ownership period of approximately 17 years—and is supported by a full Porsche main dealer service history. This is an increasingly rare and highly desirable combination on any 996, providing a clear indication that the car has been cherished and maintained correctly throughout its life.

Powered by Porsche’s naturally aspirated flat-six engine it delivers the wonderfully analogue and involving driving experience that has made the 996 increasingly appreciated among enthusiasts. Its responsive steering, compact dimensions and naturally aspirated performance make it equally enjoyable on a favourite stretch of road or during longer-distance touring.

The understated styling of the 996 has aged exceptionally well, while its usable cabin, strong performance and comparatively manageable proportions make it one of the most versatile generations of the 911. It offers genuine classic Porsche character without sacrificing the comfort and practicality required for regular use.

With 996 values continuing to reflect growing enthusiasm for the model, cars with this level of provenance are becoming increasingly difficult to find. A Carrera with full Porsche main dealer history and the same keeper since 2009 represents a particularly compelling opportunity for anyone looking for a properly maintained and highly usable 911.

Lotus Emira 3.5 V6 First Edition Manual – Dark Verdant – Track Suspension

LOWE Classics is delighted to offer this beautifully specified Lotus Emira V6 First Edition, finished in the wonderfully understated Dark Verdant Green and accompanied by a full Lotus service history.

Powered by a supercharged 3.5-litre V6 producing 404PS and paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, the Emira delivers everything a modern Lotus should: dramatic styling, exceptional steering and a wonderfully mechanical driving experience. The exposed manual gear linkage, immediate throttle response and characterful V6 soundtrack make every journey feel like an occasion.

This particular car benefits from the desirable factory Track Suspension option, giving it a more focused and connected character than the standard Touring setup. The sharper damping and improved body control allow the Emira’s beautifully balanced chassis to shine, transforming the way the car feels and bringing it closer to the true sports car experience its appearance promises.

The experience is elevated further by the fitment of a titanium switchable exhaust system. With the valves closed, the car remains refined and perfectly usable; open them and the V6 is allowed to deliver the soundtrack it deserves. It sounds incredible and feels very much like “how Lotus should have done it” from the factory.

As a First Edition, the car benefits from an excellent level of factory specification, combining its focused performance credentials with the comfort and technology required for regular use.

Its Dark Verdant paintwork has been protected with Track Pack paint protection film, helping to shield the most vulnerable areas from the stone chips to which these low and wide sports cars are particularly susceptible. This protection has helped the car remain beautifully presented throughout.

The car is supported by a full Lotus service history and retains the balance of Lotus extneded manufacturer’s warranty until Jan 27, offering its next owner additional reassurance.

The Emira represents a very special moment in Lotus history, combining traditional lightweight sports-car values with a level of design, quality and everyday usability rarely seen from the marque. With its manual supercharged V6, Track Suspension, titanium switchable exhaust and beautifully judged Dark Verdant specification, this is an especially desirable example.

Porsche 718 Boxster S 2.5T PDK

The Porsche 718 Boxster S is one of those rare sports cars that feels equally at home on a favourite stretch of road as it does being used every day. Its mid-engined layout, superbly balanced chassis and rapid PDK transmission combine to create an exceptionally capable and rewarding open-top driving experience.

At its heart is Porsche’s turbocharged 2.5-litre engine, producing 350 PS and delivering genuinely impressive performance. Paired with the seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission, it offers instantaneous gear changes and effortless progress, while retaining the precision and involvement expected from a Porsche sports car.

This example benefits from the highly desirable Sport Chrono Package, sharpening the car’s responses and allowing the driver to make the most of its considerable performance. Its specification also includes a BOSE surround-sound system, dual-zone climate control, heated seats and cruise control, making it especially well suited to longer journeys and year-round enjoyment.

The electrically operated fabric roof can be lowered in moments, transforming the character of the car and allowing its occupants to enjoy everything from relaxed summer touring to an early-morning drive on quieter roads. With the roof raised, the Boxster remains refined and comfortable, while luggage compartments at both the front and rear make it considerably more practical than many comparable sports cars.

Importantly, the car is accompanied by a full service history with Porsche. It will also receive a further service with us before being offered for sale, ensuring it is prepared to the standard expected of a car of this quality.

Combining outstanding handling, strong performance and an excellent specification, this 718 Boxster S represents a compelling modern Porsche ownership proposition. It is a car that can be enjoyed at every opportunity, whether that means a weekend away, a daily commute or simply taking the longer route home.

Porsche 911 997 Carrera 4S Cabriolet Manual | Ultra Low Mileage | Hard Top | Superb Provenance

A truly exceptional example of the 997-generation Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet, finished in a beautifully understated grey metallic over a rich tan leather interior. With just 24,315 miles, a manual gearbox, superb history and its original bill of sale and specification sheet, this is a highly desirable, collector-quality 997 that presents exactly as a cherished low-mileage Porsche should.

The 997 Carrera 4S is widely regarded as one of the great modern 911s, combining the wider Turbo-style body, all-wheel-drive confidence and 3.8-litre flat-six performance with a beautifully analogue driving feel. In Cabriolet form, and particularly with the rare inclusion of the original factory hard top, this example offers year-round usability while retaining all the sense of occasion expected from a properly specified 911.

The colour combination is superb. The grey exterior gives the car a timeless, grown-up presence, complemented perfectly by the tan leather cabin. The interior presents exceptionally well, with extended leather across the dashboard and door cards, Porsche crest embossed headrests, electric seats, PCM infotainment, Sports Chrono, multifunction steering wheel, wind deflector, hard top and the correct 19-inch alloy wheels sitting over the signature red Carrera 4S brake calipers.

This car has also just benefited from approximately £3,500 of maintenance at renowned Porsche specialist SMG Motorsport, leaving it ready for its next owner to enjoy with confidence. Mechanically and cosmetically, the car is described as faultless and has clearly been maintained to a standard befitting its mileage and provenance.

Accompanying the car is a great service history, the original bill of sale and the factory specification sheet, further reinforcing what a special example this is. Low-mileage manual 997 Carrera 4S Cabriolets with this level of presentation, specification and documentation are becoming increasingly difficult to source, particularly in such a desirable colour combination.

A beautifully specified, low-mileage and properly prepared 997 Carrera 4S Cabriolet — complete with manual gearbox, factory hard top, outstanding provenance and recent specialist maintenance.

2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 Manual

This beautifully specified Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 brings together one of Porsche’s finest modern naturally aspirated engines, a six-speed manual gearbox and the beautifully balanced mid-engined chassis for which the Cayman has become renowned.

Finished in timeless metallic black, the car has a purposeful yet understated appearance. The exterior is complemented perfectly by the desirable optional 20-inch 911 Turbo-design alloy wheels, giving the Cayman a distinctive stance while retaining the elegant proportions of the original design.

At the heart of the GTS is Porsche’s naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six engine, producing 400 PS and delivering its power through a six-speed manual gearbox. With an engaging power delivery, an unmistakable flat-six soundtrack and a willingness to rev, this is a driving experience that feels increasingly rare among modern performance cars.

The GTS 4.0 specification includes Porsche Active Suspension Management with a 20mm lower ride height, Porsche Torque Vectoring with a mechanically locking rear differential, the Sport Chrono Package and Porsche’s switchable sports exhaust system. Together, these features create a car that is composed and comfortable enough for longer journeys while remaining exceptionally rewarding when the road opens up.

This example benefits from a carefully chosen selection of factory options, including the 20-inch 911 Turbo-design alloy wheels, BOSE Surround Sound System, two-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, heated seats, Porsche Dynamic Light System headlights and a rear window wiper.

Inside, the driver-focused cabin features Sports Seats Plus, a GT sports steering wheel and the familiar centrally mounted rev counter. Race-Tex detailing and subtle GTS touches give the interior a purposeful character, while Porsche Communication Management with satellite navigation and the upgraded BOSE audio system provide the comfort and technology required for everyday use.

Despite its performance credentials, the Cayman remains remarkably usable. Front and rear luggage compartments provide useful storage, while the comfortable driving position, cruise control, climate control and heated seats make it equally suited to weekend escapes or longer European journeys.

First registered in October 2022 and showing just 9,499 miles, this Cayman is presented beautifully throughout. The combination of its metallic black finish, desirable optional wheels, excellent equipment level and six-speed manual gearbox makes it an especially appealing example of the GTS 4.0.

Widely regarded as one of the highlights of the modern Porsche range, the 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 offers much of the engagement and character associated with Porsche’s most focused GT models, while retaining the refinement and usability to be enjoyed regularly.
