5 collector cars to put in your garage this week

From a French-imported American cruiser turned dragster to two Caribbean-vibe collectibles and a pair of modern supercars, this week’s Highlights from the Classic Driver Market are as eclectic as ever. Dive into our selection of extraordinary finds now!

 

The no-nonsense hypercar

With two record-breaking sales of 14 and 16.5 million Euros, earlier this year, all eyes are on the Enzo market. This 2004 Ferrari Enzo, offered by GG Classic Cars and located in London, is a breathtaking example of Maranello's F1-derived hypercar of the naturally aspirated era. As one of just 9 cars finished in the highly exclusive Argento Nürburgring over Nero leather, it captures a beautifully understated elegance and is typically Y2K at the same time. Boasting Ferrari Classiche certification, original paint, and "only" 7,600 kilometers on the odometer this blue chip collector's car is offered complete with books and tools. It will be thrilling to see for what price this rarity will change hands. The Enzo is the definition of a true modern classic, combining ultimate rarity and Ferrari's most iconic driving experience, from an era before turbocharging and electrification on the Maranello brand's flagship.

This American got brainwashed by the French

That Ford's American entry-level model found its way across the Atlantic and sold new in mid-sixties France is interesting enough. But the transformation this 1964 Ford Falcon Futura Hardtop went through makes it really stand out, compared to the rather boring stock car. The rebuild into "The Brainwasher" took over 2,000 hours. The compact US-coupe received a high-end V8 331 stroker engine with Trick Flow heads and a Borg Warner T10 manual gearbox. The body is finished in Wimbledon White and features hand-turned gold leaf lettering and black decals, which reflects the period-correct style of 1960s drag racing. To handle the increased power, the car was equipped with a reinforced chassis and a Currie 9-inch rear axle. Now in concours condition and still located in France, this fully documented vehicle remains road-legal and ready to be driven.

Cruise to Club Tropicana in this peak 90s SL

For a long time, the Mercedes-Benz R129 carried the image of a conservative boulevard cruiser for retirees. However, that stereotype does not apply to this eye-catching 1996 SL 320. Powered by the 3.2-litre inline-six paired with an automatic transmission, this roadster has covered around 100,000 kilometres. While the white paint accentuates the classic body lines, the true surprise waits inside the cabin. The interior is finished entirely in light turquoise leather, creating a vibrant contrast that channels a distinct 'Club Tropicana' look. The vibes are Miami or Ibiza and definitely not Stuttgart or Dortmund. Complete with a panoramic glass hardtop, this damage-free example is a refreshing departure from the austere and grey norm, which was long associated with this roadster masterpiece.

This yellowbird doesn't need a cage

This 2016 Porsche 991.1 GT3 RS was delivered new to Finland, a country where you would rather expect a gravel-fit homologation version of a rally legend than a track-focused German supercar. The car stands out immediately due to its rare Paint to Sample Racing Yellow finish. Powered by the 500 hp 4.0-litre flat-six engine and paired with the standard PDK transmission, it delivers the typical and nowadays still highly sought-after driving experience. Notably, this car was specified from the factory without the Clubsport package. The absence of a rear roll cage results in a much cleaner interior, which significantly enhances the car's daily comfort and usability on public roads. Showing just 15,753 kilometres on the odometer and backed by a flawless official dealer history, this example equipped with the optional 918-bucket-seats remains a pristine and thoroughly documented driver's car.

This Mojito won’t endanger your driver’s license

The classic 1960s beach car formula, made famous by Riviera icons like the Fiat 500 Jolly or Renault 4 Plein-Air, just received a brilliant British twist. Based on a 1962 Mk1 Mini, the Crayford Mojito is an open-air conversion that utilizes an extended Countryman floorpan to comfortably seat four people. Over 500 hours of specialized bodywork ensure that the structural integrity is maintained, meaning it still handles just as sharply as a standard saloon with a roof.

The highly bespoke interior looks more like a luxury yacht than an economy car, featuring custom wooden decking and marine-grade, weather-resistant seating designed to withstand both sun and moisture. Rolling on iconic Mk1 Cooper S rims and powered by a fully rebuilt 848cc engine, this stunning creation is engineered to swap out British rain and fog with Côte d’Azur or Amalfi Coast sunshine.
