6 PICKS

Today's lineup pairs a Pearlblau Mercedes in Denmark with a Japanese Avenir GT4-Z and an Australian V8 Sandman. A manual Saab on Corsica adds an intriguing specification puzzle, while two American auctions deliver faux-wood turbo charm and a yellow Swedish brick. Six very different ways to put the long roof to work.

GBP £12,708 · asking price as displayed

2.3-litre petrol inline-four · 97 kW / 132 hpAutomatic258,000 km

Pearlblau paint and an unhurried four-cylinder make a wonderfully understated S124. The dealer documents head-gasket replacement, transmission servicing and later brake and hydraulic-suspension work. With 258,000 km recorded, that maintenance file is more interesting than a low-mileage boast. Newly discovered here, not claimed newly listed.

The Avenir is a refreshing alternative to the usual Japanese performance-wagon names: compact proportions, four-wheel drive and GT4-Z character. This pearl example is offered without warranty or statutory maintenance; inspection renewal is priced separately within the advertised total, but inspection servicing is excluded. Confirm the exact work required with the dealer. Newly discovered, not newly listed.

6.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol V8 · 260 kW advertised6-speed automatic69,400 km advertised · photo shows 69,494 km

White paint, orange-red stripes and a proper V8 give this Sandman its own identity among modern longroofs. The seller advertises 69,400 km, while the photographed odometer reads 69,494 km; confirm the current reading. A characterful family hauler with the muscle-car soundtrack built in. Newly discovered here, not claimed newly listed.

1999 Saab 9-5 Estate · 2.0 SE Advertised in DescriptionSee photos in the seller's listing

04MANUAL SWEDISH ESTATE

Santa-Maria-Siché, Corsica, France

1999 Saab 9-5 Estate · 2.0 SE Advertised in Description

EUR €11,000 · asking price

2.0-litre petrol · seller states 150 bhp5-speed manual163,600 km

A black manual 9-5 on Corsica has plenty of quiet appeal. The seller reports substantial mechanical and paint work, a new clutch and new tyres. Important caveat: the headline says Aero, but the description specifies a 2.0 SE with 150 bhp. Treat the trim as unverified and ask for documentation; this is not presented as a confirmed Aero.

Turbocharged 2.2-litre inline-four3-speed automatic98,000 miles shown

Faux wood and a turbo four make this a delightfully odd family wagon. The seller reports cylinder-head and turbo replacement after buying it non-running. The history report records a 2011 total loss and 2018 damage; it has not passed California emissions and cannot be sold to an in-state private buyer. Live no-reserve auction closes October 22, 2026 at 1:34 pm PT, subject to extensions. Bids can change.

Light Yellow paint, brown vinyl and hand-crank windows suit the honest appeal of this manual brick. Reported recent work includes the timing belt, ignition components, tyres and A/C compressor. The odometer shows 173k miles, but the title is mileage-exempt. Live no-reserve auction closes October 19, 2026 at 3:29 pm PT, subject to extensions; bids can change.
