My ultimate gift is up for grabs, a Rallye des Princesses 2026 Entry Package, at the Webb’s Collectors' Cars, Motorcycles & Automobilia December auction.
This exclusive lot offers two women the chance to join the legendary Rallye des Princesses Richard Mille—a five-day, women-only classic car rally from Paris to Saint-Tropez.
You can experience 1,000km of France's most beautiful roads, luxury hospitality, and themed soirées, all in the company of over 100 passionate women drivers, says Webbs’ auction house.
The package includes full rally entry for two women and one eligible classic car (1946—1990), luxury accommodation, fine dining, and curated evening events.
Assistance with sourcing or renting your classic car and optional travel add-ons can be provided, says Webb’s.
The1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL 'Pagoda' has an estimate of $325,000 - $350,000.
The package is valued at up to $30,000 and offered at an estimate of $25,000 – $30,000, and best of all, the buyer’s premium goes to the fantastic charity, Look Good Feel Better NZ.
The auction takes place at the Webb’s auction house in Mt Eden, Auckland from 2.30pm Sunday December 7, though the vehicles and paraphernalia are available to view now.
Other auction lots that caught my eye - and I’m sure will sell - include the 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL 'Pagoda' with an estimate of $325,000 - $350,000.
The launch of the W113 SL models at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show brought an instant classic to market. It successfully replaced both the legendary 300SL and the 190SL and its production ran through to 1971.
Close to 50,000 cars were built and the familial and endearing nickname ‘Pagoda’ has stood the test of time, inspired by the car’s patented, slightly concave hard- top.
The 1959 Fiat Multipla 600 is a rare right-hand-drive model.
The right-hand drive model was imported from the UK in 1984, it received cosmetic and engine restoration by the well-known Mercedes specialist Lloyd Marx in 2002.
Staying with European classics, I’m sure the 1959 Fiat Multipla 600 will get snapped up as the micro cars always do well at Webbs’ car auctions.
With an estimate of $50,000 - $60,000, it is a rare right-hand drive model. Of the 250,000 built, an incredibly low 100 were built in the right-hand configuration, making this 600 Multipla a gem.
The Multipla was a marvel of packaging and practicality when released, and in many ways still is. Built on the underpinnings of the Fiat 600, its true party trick is that it can carry six passengers, or four and their luggage, in a wheelbase just 50cm longer than that of a Mini.
