ECCA chosen to auction the "Steve Tandy Collection" Essex Classic Car Auctions are honoured to have been chosen to offer for auction the “Steve Tandy” collection of Motorsport and Motorsport derived cars. This collection is the fruit of one man's labour, both in the Motorsport arena, where he has won multiple World, European and British Championships and his private passion for fast cars. From a one owner “find” Ford Escort Cosworth, to multi Championship winning National Hot Rod cars, historic Ford Rally cars and big, growling American V8 race cars, there really is something from most forms of circuit or broken surface racing in the collection and we are proud to be able to make them available to you. These are just some of the superb pieces we will have in our next auction, on the 9th July... 1987 Ford Sierra Cosworth "Whale Tail" Instantly recognisable as the favourite of just about every teenager in the 80’s, these cars marked the end of the mad pursuit in the eighties by companies like Ford to be top dogs in the “Let’s take a boring family saloon car and turn it into a true performance car” game and this is a perfect example of what they achieved. These three stunning examples are also already entered and we hope to be adding others from the Steve Tandy Collection soon.

At ECCA we like things that are a little "different" and they don;t come much more "different" than a Harley Davidson "Push Bike"! The makers, commissioned by Harley, really hit the nail on the head and whether you want to ride it or just hang it on your wall, it will be a conversation piece with whoever sees it! The Vauxhall “PA Cresta” was a pure nod to the cars our friends over the pond were producing. Masses of chrome, wrap round bumpers and dare we say it... rear fins! These cars were pure Rock and Roll. This lovely example's previous owner spent thousands sensitively renovating it to the condition you see here today. Rare in this condition in its home country of France and almost unheard of here in the UK, is this freshly imported 1955 Renault “Juva” van. This particular example underwent a full nut and bolt, body and mechanical restoration for use as a “Pit Van” at Classic Car time trial rallies less than 1,000km ago.
