By Dan Gregory - March 20, 2019

Other cars up for bidding from CCA at the U.K.’s Practical Classics Car Show include an Audi Quattro, an Alfa Romeo, and two Mercedes Pagodas.

A super rare Porsche Carrera 2 Cabriolet is up for bidding at the forthcoming Classic Car Auctions (CCA) sale on March 23 and 24 at the Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show in the U.K.

One of the outstanding Porsche in the sale is a 1992 edition of the 911 (964) Carrera 2 Cabriolet. One of only 24 that came to the U.K. in right hand drive and in wide body form, this Porsche Carrera 2 Cabriolet is estimated at $55,000 to $62,000. According to CCA, the vehicle is in wonderful condition throughout and has recently been serviced.

CCA is also presenting some other excellent cars in the sale. They have an “out of the box” 1986 time warp example of an Audi Quattro. Finished in solid white with an unmarked black interior, the car graced the front cover of “Classic & Sports Car” magazine in October 2016. The car has 76,500 miles on the odometer and still has the original Whitehouse Audi stickers and dealer plates. Its estimated sale price is $40,000 to $46,000. If white isn’t your color, there is a second Audi in Tornado Red in the same sale. It is estimated at $33,000 to $40,000.

A little bit of Italy will infuse the auction in the form of an Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce from 1967. Estimated at $26,000 to $33,000, the car was subject to a full restoration between 2007 and 2010.

Two Mercedes “Pagodas” are also in the sale. The 1967 250 SL is a wonderfully presented car in cherry red. Estimated at $66,000 to $80,000, this is a left hand drive version which was imported into the U.K. in 2015. The car has since undergone restoration. A silver 230 SL Pagoda is also available. It is being offered in left hand drive and in a very presentable condition according to CCA.

“We are very privileged to have some really stand out cars for our auction at the Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show,” says Gary Dunne from CCA. “The Audis have a strong following so should do well. The Alfa is a lovely car and will give the new owner lots of enjoyment. The Porsche is very rare and both the Mercedes appear to be fine looking cars. These are only a small selection of 190 cars we have for sale.”
