There’s not much to report about the new Porsche 911 Targa in terms of differences to the previous 991-gen car. It’s still only available in four-wheel-drive Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S guises, it’s still heavier than both its coupé and cabriolet counterparts (1,675kg plays 1,565kg and 1,635kg) and it’s still got a fancy automatic fabric roof system, albeit optimised to be lighter and quicker (it now takes just 19 seconds to raise and lower). 

When Land Rover decided it wasn’t going to build the 999 Range Rover SV Coupes it had planned as a lavish, 290,000-euro tribute to the original three-door Range Rover of 1969, the Dutch automotive design studio Niels van Roij spied an opportunity.

Silverstone Auctions’ online sales will be slightly different to those held by its rivals in the collector car sphere in that there will be a streamed physical auctioneer overseeing the proceedings. Bidders can make live bids online, via the telephone or commission bid. Depending on government advice in the lead up to the sale, viewings can be arranged beforehand on a one-to-one basis. 

There are not many people out there with the same depth of knowledge of the whole gamut of Ferrari history as DK Engineering’s James Cottingham. If you’ve ever been to the Goodwood Revival, you’ll recognise the name.
