Silverstone Auctions 5th year at the NEC Classic Car Show on November 15/16th resulted in several new world records, including an amazing £60,188 paid for a 1985 Ford Escort RS Turbo.
Total sales of £4.4m, which represented 80% of the 95 classic cars being sold, was a great result for the team and included other 'Fast Fords" such as a time warp Ford Sierra RS500 that had covered just 13,000 miles from new which sold for £90,000.
Other UK records included a right hand drive Ferrari 512TR which sold for £185,625 ~ an amazing £75,000 over it's estimate.
The Jaguar XJ220 is now starting to achieve prices higher than it's original launch price back in 1990 for the first time and our 5,000 mile ex Brunei Royal family car sold for £315,000 confirming the car's recognition as a real collectable Supercar.
Meanwhile the rise of the Porsche crest continued with a very pretty 356 A T1 Cabriolet selling for £196,875 which was more than £26,000 over lower estimate.
And finally the two celebrity cars - the ex Peter Sellars Elan and the ex Henry Cooper Ferrari 365 GT4 - both went to private collectors for £50,625 and £30,938 respectively.
NW Sportscars have continued selling strongly through this Autumn and NW Motorhome's have enjoyed a great open weekend on Nov 21st/22nd. Both companies have great stock available at the moment and would welcome your call.
Our team at all 3 businesses wish every one of our highly valued customers a happy, healthy and peaceful Christmas and new year.
