Autobianchi Bianchina Furgoncino (1965)

A workhorse born from Italy’s recovery period, the Bianchina Furgoncino combined Fiat 500 underpinnings with added cargo practicality. As cities bustled and small businesses thrived, this type of microvan became emblematic of resourceful, urban post-war Italy.

Mini Moke (1968)

Its origins were military, but the Mini Moke ended up as a civilian icon. Lightweight, spartan, and mechanically identical to the Mini, it found favour in beach resorts, film sets, and private islands. Its minimalist charm and functional honesty still resonate today.

Gordon Murray Automotive T.50s Niki Lauda (2023)

Named after Murray’s friend and F1 legend, the T.50s Niki Lauda is a track-only evolution of the already purist-focused T.50. With no road-legal compromises, it revives the ethos of 1990s F1-inspired technology and driver-first engineering—featherweight, naturally aspirated, and obsessively honed.

Aston Martin Valour (2023)

A bold, analog celebration of the brand’s 110-year history, the Valour fuses the power of a twin-turbo V12 with a six-speed manual gearbox. Limited to 110 units, it’s a rare case of modern Aston Martin deliberately looking backwards to move forward.

Rimac Nevera Time Attack (2023)

Developed in Croatia, the Nevera shattered preconceptions of what electric cars could be. The Time Attack edition, built to honor its lap-record achievements, is a testament to both electric power and Rimac’s swift rise in the hypercar world.

Maserati Bora (1971) – Yellow

One of the earliest mid-engine GTs from a major manufacturer, the Bora featured a V8 and Citroën hydraulic systems. Its restrained style and technical novelty made it a turning point for Maserati, then navigating its transition from racer to road car builder.

Facel Vega Excellence (1958)

The Excellence stands apart as France’s most ambitious postwar luxury car. With American power (Chrysler Hemi V8) wrapped in sharp-edged Parisian elegance, it rivaled Rolls-Royce and Cadillac. Only 156 were built, and even fewer remain—a unicorn in every sense.

Porsche 356 pre-A (1952)

One of the earliest iterations of Porsche’s first production car, the pre-A 356 features a split windscreen and delicate, streamlined curves. Built in Gmünd, Austria, this model reflects the purity of Ferdinand Porsche’s original lightweight sports car vision.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS 992 (2022) – Rubystar

With swan-neck spoilers, DRS technology, and motorsport-grade cooling, the 992 GT3 RS is arguably the most track-capable 911 to date. In “Rubystar” red, it also harks back to rare 1990s Porsche color palettes, blending heritage with radical performance.

Porsche 718 Spyder RS (2023) – GT Silver

The swansong of the naturally aspirated flat-six in the Boxster lineage, the Spyder RS brings the GT4 RS engine into an open-top format. Lightweight, balanced, and highly focused, it represents the final chapter of Porsche’s purest sports car tradition.

Porsche 916 Chassis 17 (1972)

A factory prototype that never reached full production, the Porsche 916 was an experimental high-performance version of the 914. Chassis 17 is one of just a few that exist today—featuring a 2.4L 911 engine and flared arches that previewed future 911 Turbo styling cues.

Rimac Nevera (2022)

The base Nevera—if such a title applies to a 1,900hp electric hypercar—laid the groundwork for a new breed of EV performance cars. Its carbon monocoque, torque-vectoring drivetrains, and record-setting sprints made it a defining figure in the EV revolution.

Maserati Bora (1971) – Light Metallic Green

The second colorway release of the Bora in this set, the light green finish underscores the car’s 1970s flair. This version draws attention to the wedge-shaped profile penned by Giugiaro, set against brushed chrome and period-correct wheels.


The collection features a strong representation from Stuttgart, with several Porsche models joining the fray. Whether you're drawn to the heritage of early models like the Porsche 356 pre A 1952, the extreme rarity of the legendary Porsche 916 chassis 17 1972, of which only 11 were built, or the cutting-edge performance captured in the Porsche 911 992 GT3 RS 2022 and Porsche Spyder RS 2023, there are significant Porsche additions to consider.

And a final word on the iconic Mini Moke. Originally conceived as a lightweight military vehicle by Sir Alec Issigonis, this charming, open-air vehicle ultimately became a beloved civilian beach car and cult classic. Known for its simple, doorless design, the Moke gained popularity through cultural appearances, including being photographed with the Beach Boys.
