CALL OF THE WILD AS JAGUARS GATHER AT CCA AUCTION

CALL OF THE WILD AS JAGUARS GATHER AT CCA AUCTION

Classic Car Auctions (CCA) sale on the 23rd and 24th March, at the Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show, will see a large variety of Jaguars being offered for sale, from modern luxury to the classic style.

The auction will see over fifteen Jaguars with some wonderful examples of the XJS, 340, XJ8 and the classic E- Type being offered.

Leading the charge is a 1970 E-type Series 2 roadster in silver, with an incredibly low mileage of just 26,100 miles, which is believed to be correct according to a respected marque expert. This car is a left-hand drive model, which is unrestored and largely original and presented in sparkling condition winning the Concours d’Elegance at the Jaguar Club North America. The car is accompanied by its heritage certificate, history file and Concours trophies. The estimate for this car is £50,000 to £60,000.

The Jaguar Mark2 was made famous by the TV series Inspector Morse and CCA have for auction a lovely Mark 2 Jaguar 340, one of the last editions of this model. This is a 1968 3.4 and has been in the same ownership for the last 24 years. The car was subject to a bare metal strip and repainted in Connaught green and fully retrimmed in 1990 with a green short pile Wilton carpet and magnolia and green piped seats. In 2015 – 2017 the car was treated to a full mechanical and electrical restoration, including the engine, by JLR Classic. This car has been maintained to a high standard and been kept in dry storage for the last few years. This is a great stylish British classic to own and is estimated at £15,00 to £18,000.

If you fancy something more modern and elegant, how about this one owner from new 1999 Jaguar XJ8. A fabulous investment here for a prospecting collector, as this car has only 12,300 miles on the clock and comes with an extensive history file. Presented in cardinal red, with a light mushroom leather interior and accompanied by a selection of Jaguar branded clothing and images of its production, this is one elegant and stylish Jaguar for an estimate of £8,000 to £10,000.

The Jaguar XJS was marketed as a luxury grand tourer and CCA have this lovely 1990 5.3 V12 convertible in signal red with magnolia hide interior to get you purring. This particular car has been impeccably maintained and comes with an extensive history file and a Jaguar Heritage certificate. Last service by Jaguar Classics in March 2018 and benefitting from some subtle upgrades, this XJS is completely unrestored and has just 34,620 miles from new and now being offered for an estimate of £16,000 to £20,000.

If you are a Jaguar enthusiast and looking for your next investment or addition to your collection, then Classic Car Auctions might just have your next purchase.

Gary Dunne from CCA commented “I am very pleased with the selection of Jaguars we have for our sale next week. E-Types are always a popular car to sell and we get to see them in a variety of conditions which makes them available for a wider group of potential purchasers. This Series 2 is a great example. We are also very lucky to have a number of low mileage examples of more modern Jaguars which may go on to be future classics. Lots to choose from if you are a Jaguar enthusiast.”

CONTINENTAL CARS TO CAUSE COMMOTION AT FORTHCOMING CCA AUCTION

CONTINENTAL CARS TO CAUSE COMMOTION AT FORTHCOMING CCA AUCTION

German engineering and Italian glamour will grace the forthcoming Classic Car Auctions (CCA) sale on the 23rd and 24th March, at the Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show.

Amongst the cars offered are the cult classic Audi Quattro, Italian glamour from Alfa Romeo with the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce and the classic and beautifully style Mercedes Pagoda plus a super rare Porsche Carrera 2 Cabriolet.

For those that remember Ashes to Ashes, the Audi Quattro was made famous by Philip Glenister and the phrase “Fire up the Quattro” which led to a cult following and in rallying is where they really made their mark claiming many wins in famous hands. So, when a really fabulous example becomes available people tend to get quite excited. CCA have this “out of the box” 1986 time warp example, which for the first 30 years had just two owners. The car is finished in solid white with an unmarked black interior and graced the front cover of Classic and Sports Car in October 2016. The car has covered 76,500 miles and still has the original Whitehouse Audi stickers and dealer plates with an estimate of £30,000 to £35,000. If white isn’t your colour, there is a second Audi in Tornado Red in the same sale for £25,000 to £30,000.

A bit of Italian glamour will grace the auction with a lovely little Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce from 1967. This car has had just five owners and was subject to a full restoration between 2007 and 2010 and comes with photographic evidence of the restoration. The paintwork was treated to a light refresh in 2018 and has been recently serviced so is ready to go to a new home with an estimate of £20,000 to £25,000.

One of the stand out Porsches in the sale is a 1992 edition of the 911 (964) Carrera 2 Cabriolet. This is a fine looking car and is 1 of only 24 that came to the UK in right-hand drive and in wide body form. The car is in wonderful condition throughout and has recently been serviced. Estimated at £42,000 to £47,000 and with summer just around the corner this could be the car to enjoy.

CCA has two Mercedes “Pagodas” in the sale and 1967 250 SL is a fabulously presented car in cherry red. This is a left-hand drive version which was imported into the UK in 2015 and has since undergone restoration with a full body respray, new chrome, interior, engine and other mechanicals. The car has been with the owner for the last four years and comes with a matching hard top and a new tan soft top. A beautiful car estimated at £50,000 to £60,000. If red isn’t your colour, then a silver 230 SL Pagoda is being offered in left-hand drive and in a very presentable condition.

Gary Dunne from CCA commented “We are very privileged to have some really stand out cars for our auction at the Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show. The Audis have a strong following so should do well, the Alfa is a lovely car and will give the new owner lots of enjoyment, the Porsche is very rare and both the Mercedes appears to be fine looking cars. These are only a small selection of 190 cars we have for sale, there is something for everyone in all our auctions whatever your budget.”

CCA OFFERS FOR AUCTION THE BEST OF BRITISH CARS AT PRACTICAL CLASSICS CLASSIC CAR AND RESTORATION SHOW

CCA OFFERS FOR AUCTION THE BEST OF BRITISH CARS AT PRACTICAL CLASSICS CLASSIC CAR AND RESTORATION SHOW

1951 Land Rover Series 1

The Classic Car Auctions (CCA) sale on the 23rd and 24th March, at the Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show will feature a variety of British classics to go under the hammer.

A number of Land Rovers will be up for auction with a 1951 Series 1 leading the charge. Land Rovers have become such an iconic vehicle in British motoring history, rarely changing in design until now with the imminent launch of the new Defender. Series 1 Land Rovers are always in hot demand and CCA have this lovely 1951 edition in traditional green with a Land Rover Heritage certificate. With a low estimate of £12,000, this looks to be a great offering.

Carrying on the British theme, a really splendid 1968 Jenson Interceptor Mk1 is being offered. This is an automatic version with the Chrysler 6.3 V8 fitted and only 84,000 miles. The car has had some of the bodywork refreshed in 1992 with new panels and floorpan. It comes with an extensive history file and the original bill of sale. With Jenson prices having been depressed the last few years, there now appears to be a resurgence, according to specialists Cropredy Bridge. Could this be the time to own an appreciating asset?

With the summer months coming shortly, now could be the time to indulge in some true comfort, a 1985 Rolls Royce Corniche to float around the UK lanes or even take to Europe as this car is left-hand drive. It grew up in New York before being imported to the UK in 2014 where it is now registered with 70,050 miles on the clock. The car had been in storage for the last couple of years but has since been re-commissioned for sale. This car is one of several Rolls Royces being offered.

If you fancy something a bit more sportier, CCA have a 1999 Aston Martin DB7 Coupe. This car was supplied new in the UK before it was exported to Canada and then returned to the UK two years ago. It has a very low indicated mileage of 25,122 miles and has been fastidiously maintained. Finished in British Racing Green with green piped parchment leather interior, this is a fabulous example to own.

With further lots from other British manufacturers, Lotus, Jaguar, Bentley, TVR, Rover and Triumph, there will be plenty to bid for depending on your budget.

Gary Dunne from CCA commented “I am looking forward to a fantastic event, we have a great level of cars with some true British classics. With prices for Jensen showing movement, Aston Martins and Bentley always offering great interest, the sale is looking very promising.”
