Fantastic cars already consigned into the sale Read below to see just some of the lots that have already been entered into the sale and the cars that your classic could be joining.

2001 BMW Z8 The model famous for appearing in the 1999 Bond film, The World Is Not Enough, this modern classic is presented in superb condition throughout. With the odometer currently reading a genuine 39,753 miles, this BMW Z8 represents retro styling with the performance and refinement of a modern supercar. Included in the sale is a genuine Z8 spare wheel, full toolkit, a half tonneau, roll bar hoop covers and a wind deflector - all original BMW items that have been sourced and purchased by the current owner. BMWs mantra of ‘The Ultimate Driving Machine' was certainly not wasted on the Z8, and this particular model is not to be missed. Estimate (£): 75,000 – 95,000 Read more here.

1980 Aston Martin V8   This sophisticated British classic is supplied with a fully documented history file and UK V5c as well as an MoT until 15th April 2015; and at a fraction of the cost of its predecessors, the DB4, 5 and 6, this V8 is certainly worthy of the attention of any serious car collector today. After having undergone several mechanical restorations over the 90s and 00s yet still sitting on its original GKN alloys, this car is ready to begin the next chapter of its life, with nothing left to do other than turn the key and fire the V8 into action. Estimate (£): 75,000 – 90,000   Read more here.

1936 Jaguar SS DHC Restoration Project Distinctive and among some of the best of British classics, this Jaguar SS DHC is supplied with an excellent history file. Currently, the car runs and drives and the original, but refurbished, seats are mounted. The body appears to be completed but may need some finishing work, including painting. This car poses as a promising restoration project for any enthusiast to complete and own a rare and unique car with good history. Estimate (£) – 15,000 – 20,000 Read more here.

1998 Ferrari F355 Spider Delivered new to its first owner, a Mr J. Michael, this Spider is finished in Rosso Corsa Red and is upholstered with a Nero Black leather interior. Options on this car include electronic suspension, air conditioning, 18" alloy wheels and a stereo system with a CD player. Having recently gone through the workshop of an Official Ferrari Dealer, this car has been given a clean bill of health and checked throughout. The original toolkit, service book and manuals are in situ within the leather bookpack. With the odometer now reading a mere 26,285 miles, this car is offered with a fresh MoT and UK V5c and is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner this Spring. Estimate (£) – 60,000-70,000 Read more here.

1961 Jaguar Mk II 3.8 Litre Saloon This 3.8 Litre Mk II Jaguar was purchased by the previous registered keeper in 1974 and has not been used since a tree fell on his garage, damaging that building and denting the car's roof, buyers should note that a second-hand roof is offered with this vehicle. The current owner acquired this example in 2011 and has simply stored the car with a reputable firm ever since.   An automatic transmission model, '5686 TR' has had only seven owners from new and has been preserved in highly original condition. The car is complete and thus an excellent candidate for restoration. Sold strictly as viewed, it comes with its original buff logbook and Swansea V5. No Reserve Read more here.
