Classic Car Auctions are delighted to announce their star car for this auction, the 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL (W113) - Ex Britt Ekland.

Another excellent example going under the hammer next weekend is the 1985 Audi Ur-Quattro B2. This beautiful example is well presented with a recent fresh coat of Zermatt Silver over a black leather interior.

With a fresh MOT valid until June 2022, this Quattro is accompanied by a history file and original owner’s manual. Estimated at: £24,000 - £28,000.

Looking glorious in Basalt Black Metallic over black/sand beige leather is this 2009 Porsche 911 (997) Gen 2 3.6 Carrera Cabriolet (PDK).

The last of the four cars previewed is the 1998 Aston Martin DB7 Volante. This is arguably one of the most attractive Astons ever produced, Ian Callum’s superb 90s classic. Superbly presented in Buckingham Green with Cream leather pipped green, this beautiful car has been with Classic Car Auctions vendor for the last 17 years with just two keepers prior. The car is accompanied by a comprehensive history, including Aston Works and latterly, marque specialists. This is a valuable addition to any collection and is estimated at: £18,000 - £22,000.
