For Sale: 1936 DKW (Auto Union) Roadster Luxus SportA rare opportunity to acquire a LHD 1936 DKW Roadster Luxus Sport, one of only 407 built between 1935 and 1938. Just 16 were produced in September 1936, and 128 in the entire year—making this a truly scarce pre-war German roadster.Powered by a period-correct 692cc, 2-stroke twin-cylinder engine (an identical replacement fitted long ago), the car remains largely original aside from a few components updated during an early recommissioning, which also included a respray and interior work. Now nearly 90 years old, it still presents beautifully. While not concours-perfect, its appeal lies in its authenticity, rarity, and distinctive driving character—an ideal car for enthusiasts who value preservation over perfection.The engine is in excellent health, starting easily and running smoothly every time. A fresh set of tyres and some minor cosmetic touches would elevate it further, but it is already fully usable and ready to enjoy. At any event, it is guaranteed to draw attention—and likely be the only example present.History is limited: The car is believed to have originated in South West Africa before being brought into South Africa, where it was only formally registered in 2025. It is now fully licensed and road-legal in South Africa. The car last changed hands in 2018, having previously been inherited from the former owner’s father in 1995. He and his father were long-standing members of the South African DKW community and cherished this gem for many years. The recommissioning began around 1995 and was largely completed by 2002This is a special and highly collectible car that deserves a new custodian who will continue to preserve and enjoy it for generations to come.Viewing by appointment only.

FOR SALE: 1958 Mercedes-Benz 300d “Dora” – A Rare South African IconAn exceptionally rare and elegant classic, the 1958 Mercedes-Benz 300d—affectionately known as “Dora”—is offered for sale. Officially marketed as the 300d Adenauer, this distinguished model shares its engine, chassis, and suspension with the iconic 300SL Gullwing. As one of the true flagships of the Mercedes-Benz lineup, it stands as a remarkable piece of the brand’s heritage.What makes Dora especially significant is her rarity. Fewer than 100 right-hand drive examples are believed to have been produced, making this not only a scarce find in South Africa but a highly desirable collectible worldwide.History & Provenance
Dora’s story is deeply rooted in South African automotive history. Delivered new in 1958 to Mercedes-Benz Pretoria, she was placed on the showroom floor as a display centerpiece—not originally intended for sale. She remained there until 1964, when a young man captivated by her beauty persuaded the dealership to let her go.During her years on display in Sunnyside, Pretoria, she captured the imagination of a young boy named Steffan. With encouragement from his father—also a Mercedes-Benz enthusiast—he developed a lasting admiration for the car.In 2015, decades later, Steffan received a call from someone selling a 1958 Adenauer among other classics. Upon visiting the property, he discovered a slightly neglected but rust-free example raised on blocks. As he shared his childhood memory of Dora, the seller phoned his father—the original buyer—who confirmed this was indeed the same car from the Pretoria showroom. Steffan purchased Dora on the spot, bringing her story full circle.Restoration & Current Condition
Steffan undertook the restoration with passion, beginning with a full strip-down and respray. The project paused during the Covid-19 pandemic, after which Dora was passed to another collector who completed the restoration in 2023.Today, she presents beautifully:
Body & Paint: High-quality respray with elegant, glossy finish.
Interior: Fully reupholstered in imported leather, capturing the luxury and refinement expected from an Adenauer.
Engine Bay: Clean and detailed, featuring the fully rebuilt 3.0L straight-six engine that runs smoothly and reliably.
Since completion, Dora has been driven sparingly and cared for meticulously. This is her first appearance on the open market—presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a historically significant Mercedes-Benz with remarkable provenance.Final Thoughts
“Dora” is more than a classic car—she is a living piece of Mercedes-Benz and South African motoring history. Her rarity, elegance, and deeply personal story make her a standout addition to any serious collection.
Serious buyers only.
Viewing strictly by appointment.
