Silverstone Auctions Closes Catalogue Ahead of Its Biggest Auction

  Silverstone Auctions last week closed the catalogue on its biggest ever auction to date – some 300 lots in total, including classic and competition cars, automobilia and a lifestyle collection.  It is now established as one of the highlights in the classic car auction calendar, the Silverstone Classic Sale hosted by Silverstone Auctions on Saturday 27th July, as an integral part of the Silverstone Classic weekend, the world’s biggest classic motor racing festival. This year’s auction features 69 road going classics and modern sports cars, plus another 20 competition cars. Meanwhile there’s also a fine array of automobilia with 80 lots on offer, and a lifestyle collection which includes 130 items consisting of fine wines, leather goods and a significant range of varied and rare watches.

Nick Whale, managing director, Silverstone Auctions, said: “Our Silverstone Classic Sale is now in its third year and 2013’s auction is our biggest one ever. It’s no understatement to say that this auction has it all, ranging from stunning road cars with estimated six-figure sums, to cars whose fascinating histories outshine their performance, through to race cars driven by some of the world’s best racers around the most challenging circuits, including the world famous Goodwood Revival."

Key car lots include a ‘best-of-breed’ 1965 Aston Martin DB5 Saloon, and a 1966 Aston Martin DB6 Mk I, once owned by Des O’Connor CBE . Porsche will be celebrating another historic milestone, so as the 911 which will celebrate being 50 years old, it is only fitting that Silverstone Auctions has five fantastic examples to offer including a rare 1969 911T, a highly collectable 1974 Carrera 2.7 Targa, and a 911E 2.4 Targa.

Meanwhile, notable competition cars include a 1963 Lotus 23B, a rare 1973 Surtees TS 15 F2, which is fully race prepared, and a 1999 Kimi Raikkonen driven Formula Renault.
