Classic convertibles perfect for summer driving
Spring has sprung and so now is the perfect time for top-down driving. We’ve got some lovely classic convertibles just entered into our June Sale at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre on Saturday 18th June.
Whether you’re a fan of classic British sportscars, stylish little 80s Alfas, a classic boulevard Mercedes, or fun, brightly coloured 70s drop-tops, we have several cars in the sale to give you a very enjoyable summer of top-down motoring.
See the lot list so far here.

1971 Triumph TR6
This delightful, restored Triumph TR6 is finished in Sapphire Blue with a black leather interior. According to its Heritage certificate, this car was built in late 1971 and left the factory in Coventry in January 1972 as a left-hand drive export, destined for British Leyland Motors, in Denver, Colorado.
It was first registered in the UK in 1998 when it was also restored and converted to right-hand drive. With pile carpets, plush-looking bucket seats, a traditional wooden dashboard, this TR6 is in excellent shape and offers classic British sports car fun for a very reasonable outlay.
Estimate (£): 13,000 - 16,000

1971 BMW 2002 Baur Targa
Who wouldn't want one of these? This striking BMW 2002 Baur Targa in Inca Orange, is a rare, right-hand drive example with just four registered owners from new.
'Karosserie Baur' has been building BMW convertibles since the Thirties, but the 2002 model was the first time they had used a 'targa' style.
Recommissioned just two years ago at a cost of around £5,000, this little Baur is fun to drive, particular as a convertible with its neat little drop-top and bright, period colour scheme.
Estimate (£): 6,500 - 8,500

1984 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 Series III
This beautiful, right-hand drive Spider is finished in Alfa Silver with a contrasting navy blue leather interior and an excellent black hood.
The fabulous Pininfarina styling is set off nicely by a set of sparkling Cromodora alloy wheels and the interior is a real treat with a wood rim steering wheel and classic Alfa dashboard.
Reading just over 27,000 miles, this car represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a model that is now gaining momentum in the collectors market.
Estimate (£): 10,000 - 12,000

1987 Mercedes-Benz 500SL Auto
This Mercedes-Benz R107 SL is described as 'good’ to ‘very good’ condition throughout, and presented in very pretty Signal Red
.
Complete with its matching hardtop, the interior is trimmed in Beige half leather with cloth inserts, a walnut dashboard, with the odometer currently showing the indicating 82,000 miles.
The Mercedes-Benz R107 SL is now a well and truly established member of the classic car club, but remains one of the most usable modern classics money can buy. We have two of these appreciating classics in the sale, so if you are in the market for a bright red, 80s boulevard car, then come and have a look.
Estimate (£): 11,000 - 13,000
