Two sales over two days took place at the NEC Classic Car Show on the 15/16 November with a varied selection in a catalogue that offered real quality and depth.
Some great results came through on individual cars, with both sales producing a hammer value of over £2m at each - resulting in a premium inclusive total of over £4.5m for Silverstone Auctions.
The Jaguar XJ 220 has remained in the sub £150k price band throughout the recent classic car resurgence, but we came up with a very special low mileage right hand drive car and broke a world record with a sale at £247,500 from a buyer in Singapore.
A unique delivery mileage and unregistered left hand drive Talbot Sunbeam Lotus from 1980 sailed past its £25,000 estimate to achieve an amazing final price of £50,625.
Porsche prices continue to amaze with the 1994 '964 Turbo' achieving £220,500 and the '964' Carrera RS Touring achieving £112,500 only adding to the crediblity of the marque as a true collector's icon.
Even the modest Ford oval was distinguished with a 1973 Ford Escort RS Mk1 selling for a highly credible £27,563.
Our 1951 Land Rover series 1 '80' shone at £38,250 as did the 1994 Range Rover LSE at £33,750 - which was double its pre-sale estimate.
We were proud that our new motorcycle specialist, Geoff Hobbs, put together an interesting collection which sold well, including a rare Honda RC 30 for £23,625.
Many thanks to all our sellers and buyers for an outstanding sale with an 81% sales rate.
We are now inviting entries for our next sale at Race Retro in February 2015 - please contact us at www.silverstoneauctions.com or ring the office.
