  • 1970 Porsche 914-6 FIA Specification - This left-hand-drive vehicle is a genuine factory 914/6 originally supplied to Porsche Finland in April 1970 and was imported to the UK in 2006. Significant work was undertaken by Porsche specialists Historica and BS Motorsport. In 2010, the car was purchased by Porsche racing and restoration specialists Knüpfing Motorsport.

It has had a total repaint and was converted to European Specification, features new suspension, brakes, and exhaust, and features a new Mohair hood with restored frame.
  • 1991 Opel Lotus Omega (Carlton) - This left-hand-drive car was imported to the UK in 2017 by the current owner.
