There are certainly some interesting vehicles to peruse some of which we mention below. A full list of the lots available can be found on Silverstone Auction’s website.
If you fancy owning a bit of racing history then why not take a look at a Daytona Yellow 1974 Ford Capri 11 3000GT that was used as the doctor’s car at Silverstone racing circuit. It has 62.900 miles on the clock. The vehicle has a black vinyl roof. It was donated to the racing circuit by the Ford Motor Company as it was felt it would be a great way to be seen by many hundreds of thousands of people who enjoyed motor racing. It has a guide price of £15,000 to £20,000 with no reserve.
A little different and a more sedate drive is a 1972 Volkswagen T2 Westfalia Campervan that has a guide price of £18,000 to £22,000 but with no reserve. It is said to have just less than 54,000 miles on the clock making it a low mileage leisure vehicle for its age. Its coachwork is in blue and white. Apparently, the vehicle has been restored recently and it sounds like an awful lot of work has been done to it. For instance, a bare-metal strip-down, resprayed, a brand new pop-top roof and new trim inside.
If you are in the fortunate position of having a larger budget then perhaps cast your eyes over a circa 1955 Jaguar XK140 Coupe that has a guide price of £60,000 to £70,000. Its coachwork is in Birch Grey and the interior is in red leather. It is said to have 26,611 miles on the clock making it an extremely low mileage classic car. It is a rare unrestored vehicle and is likely to attract a great deal of attention.
Those of you who are Porsche fans may wish to look over a 1983 Porsche 911 SC Targa that has a guide price of £100,000 to £115,000. It is said to have a mere 8,653 miles on the clock. Its bodywork is in Guards Red with a brown interior. It has recently been services by Porsche. It is said to be a superb example but that is hardly surprising considering its exceedingly low mileage. This classic sports car will no doubt catch the eye of many a passer by.
