The auction at the Pavilion Gardens, Buxton last Thursday was extremely well attended and grossed in excess of £1m. ‘Garage finds’ were particularly sought after with the sale-topping 1962 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Fixed Head Coupe (£77,050), 1965 Mercedes-Benz 300SE Coupe (£13,915) and one family owned from new 1967 Morris Mini Minor Super De-Luxe (£15,525) all receiving rounds of applause when the hammer finally came down!
Other strong sales included the 1963 Daimler SP250 Dart (£41,400), the 1959 TRAC SS100 Evocation (£25,875) and the much talked-about 1963 Rover P4 95 – which had been treated to a £120,000 restoration by the son of the late owner (£17,365).
The sale rate looks destined to eclipse 70%. To build on this success, offers are still invited on the remaining vehicles. Please note, only offers within the region of their presale estimates will be considered, the best of which will be put to the vendor.
