Webbs Car Auction
Webbs have another Car Auction on early next month.
My pick of the bunch is this 1972 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3. This Erich Waxenberger developed machine is one of my favourite Mercedes.
I have owned an earlier version for over 20 years and it remains one of my favourite cars of all time.
This would be closely followed by the 1973 Porsche 911T. Both cars were designed and built in the early 1970s.
For me a golden time in automotive design as it had all the style of 1960's car design with some pretty interesting advances in technology.
