Avatar photoVR Staff

1962 Aston Martin DB4 Series IVSilverstone Auctions held its inaugural sale of classic road and competition cars on 23 July, 2011, the Saturday of the Silverstone Classic, with a 53% sale rate of car lots.
Top sale at the Silverstone Classic Auction went to a fully restored 1962 Aston Martin DB4 Series IV Saloon that sold above its top estimate at £170,000. An Aston Martin 1960 DB4 Series II Saloon achieved its top estimate of £100,000, while a 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GT that eventually sold for £95,500: all to room bidders.
Opening with automobilia items under the governance of auctioneer Guy Loveridge, over 75% of lots from race-worn helmets to club badges, books and posters were sold, with some exceptional results including an Ayrton Senna–signed copy of his book, ‘The Principles of Race Driving’, which sold for £1,420 and well above the top estimate of £180.
The automobile lots came under the gavel of local Towcester auctioneer Jonathan Humbert, managing a packed hall including bidders from more than 400 that registered. Notable early lots to go included the opening no-reserve 1947 MG TC at £16,000, and a black 1956 Studebaker Sky Hawk Continental that reached £27,000.
James Hunt’s 1967 Austin A35 van was a closely-bid contest in the room to achieve £13,000, while Hunt’s Formula One car, Hesketh chassis 308/2 was sold by private treaty prior to auction for a “substantial sum”. Other ‘one-offs’ included a Messerschmitt bubble car and a 1957 Volkswagen Deluxe Beetle that sold in the room at £17,500.
A number of Jaguars models promptly found buyers, including a 1971 E-Type S III Roadster that went for £23,000 while phone bidders accounted for a 1960 Jaguar MkII 3.8 and a 1960 Jaguar 3.8 XK 150 Drophead Coupé. A 1958 XK 150 Fixedhead Coupé went for £40,500 in the room and two Jaguar XJ Coupés sold well.
Opening the competition car lots was a rally-prepared 1962 Mini Cooper Mk1, which created achieved £21,500, with other sales including the 1961 Deep Sanderson 301 Prototype going to a phone bidder, a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Racing Saloon making £43,000, and a 1986 Argo JM19 Group C Racer reaching £63,500 with a room bidder, just moments before the Silverstone Classic Group C race started outside on track.
Modern supercars also achieved some sound results including the Ferrari 575M Maranello, with notable previous owners Eric Clapton and DJ Chris Evans, selling for £60,500.

“We are very pleased to report the conclusion of the Silverstone Classic auction with over £1.3 million of automobile lots sold, 75% of automobilia entries, and some further deals under negotiation,” said Silverstone Auctions managing director Nick Whale.
“There was an excellent atmosphere and a lot of very keen buyers, with some serious competition for particular cars. The Silverstone Classic event is the perfect environment for such a sale with many buyers already on site, but we were also joined by a number of ‘phone and on-line bidders, who won some important cars. The Wing building provides an incredible facility within which to present our clients’ cars and create a world class auction environment, and we look forward to building on this success next year,” continued Whale.
Silverstone Auctions’ final sale of 2011 is the Walter Hayes Sale on 4 November 2011. For more information, visit www.silverstoneauctions.com.
