WHAT A BAHNSTORMER, A DELIVERY MILEAGE BMW 1M FROM 2011

WHAT A BAHNSTORMER, A DELIVERY MILEAGE BMW 1M FROM 2011

2011 BMW 1M

Classic Car Auctions are offering a truly unique 2011 B

MW 1M with delivery mileage at their forthcoming sale this weekend at the Warwickshire Event Centre.

Bought from BMW Park Lane we understand from the vendor that this car was used to launch the model in the UK at the Park Lane Showroom.

This must be a one-off opportunity to acquire BMWs pocket rocket with just 90 miles on the clock and one of the 450 cars made.

Gary Dunne, Classic Car Auctions auction manager commented: “This is quite a remarkable car. Owned by one family, they bought the car and then stored it in an underground facility which has kept the car away from the elements for the last eight years.”

The car will when it comes to the sale, will have an MOT until September 2020 and have had a full BMW service. Estimated at £60,000 to £70,000 this must be the best on the market.

Whilst we are on rare cars, how about a 1994 Ferrari 348 Spider? This manual right-hand drive car is one of 75 which were destined for the UK. With 18,700 miles from new, this car is from the last year of production and is superbly presented in Giallo Modena, yellow in case you were unsure. Estimated at £50,000 to £55,000 this low mileage Ferrari is a real head-turner.

Our next two lots are very rare indeed, with both scoring extremely high on the condition report. The earliest lot is the 1970 Ford Capri MK1 2000 V4 GT XLR which at the time was the top of the range model costing an additional £1,310. The first of the two owners had the car up to 2016 when it changed hands to the current owner. It underwent a full bare-metal nut and bolt restoration to the highest of standards and finished in the correct colour scheme with the optional black bonnet. Estimated at £25,000 to £30,000 and with just 12,730 miles on the clock, this is one outstanding Ford Capri.

Four years later came the Ford Capri MK1 RS3100 again in exceptional condition after a full restoration and estimated at £50,000 to £60,000. With 48,000 miles on the clock, boxes of paperwork and with probably just 50 of these cars left, this is one potential show-stopping Concours winning car.

Gary Dunne continued: ”These are just four of the outstanding cars we have for sale, with over 110 lots covering all types of cars both modern and classic, we have a great selection looking for their next loving owner.”

FUN, FUNKY, FRUGAL CLASSICS BEING OFFERED AT CLASSIC CAR AUCTIONS ON THE 5TH OCTOBER

FUN, FUNKY, FRUGAL CLASSICS BEING OFFERED AT CLASSIC CAR AUCTIONS ON THE 5TH OCTOBER

Classic Car Auctions have among their lots at the forthcoming auction on the 5th October a selection of what could be described as fun and funky yet frugal classics.

One of the stand out cars is from the 1970s, a 1972 Fiat 500 Gamine by Vignale. Scoring extremely highly on the condition report, this small two-seater is based on the Fiat 500 was produced by Carozzeria Vignale. Now fully restored by a London specialist and presented in bright red with beige interior, with the mileage is indicated at 27,637 miles. Estimated at £22,000 to £26,000 this is a much sought after and trendy UK right-hand drive car.

In 1988 Wolfgang Hoffman took the Citroen 2CV and developed a series of kits which are still available today. The designs varied from a pickup to a limousine. What we have here being offered in the sale is a 1984 Citroen 2CV Hoffman Cabrio which could be one of two left in the UK and possibly only 1,700 in the world. The kit came in the form of a glass-reinforced plastic body with steel fame side windows and a convertible soft-top and boot lid. The vendor of this car has used it has her daily driver over the last three years and has just had it serviced ready for the next owner. Estimated at £8,000 to £10,000 this is an unusual take on the classic 2CV.

The Roaring Twenties was the era of large scale adoption of cars and the General Motors group introduced the Pontiac brand in 1926 offering a cheaper range of six-cylinder cars. This 1928 6-28 2-door Sedan has the 25hp, 3050cc straight-six with an L Head and was to become the most popular in the range. Finished in Forest Green with a fabric roof and 12 spoke wooden wheels this is a fascinating car at an estimated £8,000 to £10,000.

Now moving on to the 1930s we have what is believed to be called a Speedy, a 1934 Austin 7 Special which had been exported to New Zealand and has undergone complete restoration prior to arriving back in the UK. The interior has been re-trimmed and the body has been re-painted red. Estimated at £10,000 to £12,000 this little open-top tourer will be UK registered in time for the sale.

Our second Austin is the 1936 10 Tourer which was restored 15 to 20 years ago and features a fully functioning Dickie seat and a good soft-top. Estimated at £7,000 to £9,000 this is a great pre-war open-top tourer and an inexpensive way into classic car ownership.

The third of our Austins takes us to the 1970s and this 1974 Austin Mini Clubman is a real find with just 12,000 indicated miles. With just two registered owners and in almost completely original condition having been stored for most of its life, this little gem is being offered at an estimated £7,500 to £9,500. The interior remains as new and the bodywork and mechanicals have been refreshed and now ready for its next owner.

Gary Dunne, Classic Car Auctions auction manager commented: “These are some of the great cars being offered in a weeks time at the Warwickshire Event Centre. The Fiat 500 Gamine really stands out not just in condition but also looks fabulous in red and the 12,000-mile Clubman is also a supercar for one lucky bidder”.

“We have over 115 lots of high quality and rare cars, from current classics to future classics, plenty on offer to suit all budgets.”

If you are thinking of consigning your car in the future, you can pre-book an appointment to come along to our Cars Coffee and Consigning event that we are holding at the British Motor Museum on the following Wednesdays, 9th and 23rd October and 6th November where one of our consigners will be on hand to help you through the process and we can arrange professional photography and entry to the museum at our cost entirely free of charge.

CLASSIC CAR AUCTIONS OCTOBER SALE TRIUMPHS AND OOZES QUALITY

CLASSIC CAR AUCTIONS OCTOBER SALE TRIUMPHS AND OOZES QUALITY

The CCA October sale is set to be one of the highest quality sales with £1.7 million worth of cars consigned and takes place at the Warwickshire Event Centre on the 5th October.

Three superb Triumphs feature in the sale as well as beautifully restored 1964 Austin Healey 3000 MKIII, a 1970 Rover P5B 3.5 Coupe and a rare 1976 manual Jaguar XJC 4.2 from a museum collection.

Gary Dunne, Classic Car Auctions auction manager commented: “We have a wonderful sale coming up in a couple of weeks and have some really high-quality cars consigned.”

“We are very proud of what we have in our catalogue, over £1.7 million worth of cars and again of great variety, so there will undoubtedly be something there for everyone.”

“The following cars are some of the standouts in the sale and will attract lots of interest.”

The first of the three Triumphs is a fabulous looking 1958 TR3A in a glorious Signal Red and has been with the current owner for the last 43 years and formed part of his private collection. What’s more, it has had just two owners and retains its original registration number 492 EVK. Staggeringly the car has done only 13,000 miles since 1976 and after an extensive 30-month restoration the TR3A went on to win its first Concours in 1979. The project was documented in Practical Classics Magazine in 1980 and a copy is supplied with the car along with other documentation. Estimated at £28,000 to £32,000 this is an outstanding car in amazing condition and available for the first time in 43 years.

Our second Triumph is a 1968 TR250 which is the US-specification of the TR5 which are now becoming a difficult car to acquire and with prices on the increase. This TR250 is a superb car and a great option when purchasing one of these British classics. Converted to right-hand drive as part of a painstaking chassis up rebuild, this TR250 has had a huge amount of work carried out from engine rebuild, the fitting of the coveted overdrive gearbox, bare metal re-spray as well as new external trim. At an estimated £34,000 to £38,000 this is an ideal opportunity to acquire a superb and possibly a best of breed contender.

The third Triumph is the classic wedge that can only be the TR7. This 1981 car is such a rarity and quite possibly a one-off as it is a one-owner car with 24,000 miles from new. Estimated at £9,000 to £11,000 with a complete and comprehensive history file, original owners document wallet and the jack still in the factory bag, what a superb car this is and one of the best examples.

Also featured in the sale are three further great examples of British classics. A 1964 Austin Healey 3000 MkIII which was originally sold to North America and returned to the UK in 1991. This Healey underwent restoration a few years ago to a superb standard and is finished in black with a red leather interior. The car is currently de-bumpered but the originals are supplied with the car. Estimated at £40,000 to £50,000 with a detailed history and a Heritage Trust Certificate, this is a well-restored and great looking classic.

The next of our British classics is a 1970 Rover P5B 3.5 Coupe in Rover White with a black roof and sumptuous black hide interior. Five years ago, the car was fully restored and documented using original new and old stock genuine Rover parts. The interior was brought back to life and all the chrome was renewed. Estimated at £20,000 to £25,000 this is a lovely car and quite possibly one of the best available on today’s market.

This 1976 Jaguar XJC 4.2 is very rare as it this manual version and we believe less than 200 of these cars were made. An exceptionally elegant looking car with a fantastic service history, this car formed part of a museum collection for the last ten years and is mostly in its original condition. Estimated at £25,000 to £30,000 with a Heritage Certificate and freshly recommissioned, including a new MOT, what a superb car this would be to own.

If you are thinking of consigning your car in the future, you can pop along to our Cars Coffee and Consigning event that we are holding at the British Motor Museum on the following Wednesdays 25th September, 9th and 23rd October and 6th November where one of our consigners will be on hand to help you through the process.

MANSELL’S ‘RED FIVE’ ON POLE FOR BONHAMS SALE F1 CHAMPIONSHIP-WINNING FW14B LEADS THE BONHAMS GRID AT FESTIVAL OF SPEED

MANSELL’S ‘RED FIVE’ ON POLE FOR BONHAMS SALE

 F1 CHAMPIONSHIP-WINNING FW14B
LEADS THE BONHAMS GRID AT
FESTIVAL OF SPEED

1992 WILLIAMS-RENAULT FW14B CHASSIS 08. Estimate on Request

The Williams-Renault FW14B Formula 1 car, in which legendary British racing driver Nigel Mansellwon a record-setting five Grand Prix races (all from pole) at the start of his Championship-winning 1992 season, is to be offered by Bonhams at the Goodwood Festival of Speed Sale on 5 July 2019.

A number of motor-racing greats will line up alongside the 90s legend to be offered for sale next Friday:

• ‘Old Mother Gun’, the pre-war Le Mans and Brooklands racing Bentley.
• 1935 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300, a road-going version of the Le Mans and Mille Miglia-winning race car.
• An Edwardian-era pioneer, the ex-Douglas Fitzpatrick Metallurgique-Maybach 21-litre Three-Seater Special.

The FW14B

 “It was just a fantastic year, with a fantastic car!”, said 1992 World Champion Mansell about theFW14B in an interview with Bonhams Magazine.

Designed by celebrated Formula 1 engineer Adrian Newey, The FW14B is considered one of the most sophisticated, dominant and important Formula 1 racing cars of all time, featuring state-of-the-art technology, including 6-speed semi-automatic transmission, ride-levelling active suspension and cutting-edge aerodynamics, powered by Renault’s RS3 3.5-litre V10 engine.

Bonhams is offering FW14B chassis 08 for sale, the car which contested 13 of that year’s 16 qualifying Grand Prix races, driven by Nigel Mansell in the first seven.

Mansell and the FW14B 08 won five of those seven Grand Prix races – in South Africa (where he set the fastest lap), Mexico, Brazil, Spain and Imola (for San Marino) – all from pole, setting a new Formula 1 record for consecutive wins.

Mansell was narrowly beaten into second place at Monaco by Ayrton Senna before ‘Red Five’, as it was known under Mansell’s command, was entrusted to Italian team-mate, Riccardo Patrese.

Then known as ‘White Six’, chassis ‘08’ contested a further six Grand Prix races, scoring World Championship points in three of them to give Williams-Renault one-two positions in the 1992 Formula 1 Constructors’ World Championship. Mansell notched up another four race wins in the sister car, becoming the first driver in Formula 1 racing history to win nine World Championship-qualifying Grand Prix races within a single season.

1992 WILLIAMS-RENAULT FW14B CHASSIS 08. Estimate on Request

Having been meticulously well-preserved, initially by Williams Grand Prix Engineering and subsequently by a private collector, FW14B ‘08” survives today in running order. Both its V10-cylinder engine and sophisticated hydraulic active-suspension system have been tested in recent weeks.

Mark Osborne, Global Director of Motorsport at Bonhams, commented: "The FW14B was the high-water mark in Grand Prix design for ‘92 and remains today one of the most sophisticated cars to compete in F1, and we at Bonhams are honoured to have been entrusted with such a motor-racing legend."

Also roaring into the Bonhams sale at Goodwood is ‘Old Mother Gun’, the 1927 Bentley Jackson Special – a timely offering in Bentley’s centenary year. The first 41/2-litre Bentley was a Le Mans and Grand Prix winner before dominating at Brooklands in the 1930s, setting speed records of 120mph and 130mph, before later recording an official top speed of 148mph. Estimate on Request.

Another historic speed king at the sale is the 1935 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 ‘Long Chassis’ Tourer,one of the last examples of the very first Alfa Romeo eight-cylinder models – a genuine 100mph car powered by a 2300CC engine, which achieved consecutive wins at Le Mans, Mille Miglia, Spa 24 Hours and Targa Florio, and led to the development of the legendary Monoposto Tipo B, the most dominating 30’s Grand Prix racer. Estimate £4,000,000 – 5,000,000.  

An ultra-rare ex-Douglas Fitzpatrick 1907 Métallurgique-Maybach Zeppelin-engined Edwardian three-seater, estimate £800,000 - £1,000,000, is considered one of the world’s greatest motor cars.

Powered by a very rare 21-litre airship engine, this remarkable motor car is a veteran of hill climbs, sprints and circuit-racing and still holds a current FIA Class A standing-start 500-metre world record. This Métallurgique’s other claim to fame is that it featured in the 1968 motion picture Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

The Bonhams Festival of Speed sale is offering an exclusive selection of some of the world’s most sought-after collectors’ cars, including:

2013 McLaren P1 XP Experimental Prototype, estimate £1,300,000 – 1,500,000.

1966 Ford GT40, estimate £850,000 – 1,250,000.

1928 Bentley 6 ½-Litre Saloon, coachwork by Gurney Nutting, est £800,000 – 1,200,000.

1998 Jaguar XJ220, estimate £350,000 – 400,000.

All motor cars will be available to view on Thursday 4 and Friday 5 July at Goodwood, with the sale starting at 2pm on Friday. 

RM SOTHEBY’S TO PRESENT THE GUYTON COLLECTION ENTIRELY WITHOUT RESERVE

RM SOTHEBY’S TO PRESENT THE GUYTON COLLECTION
ENTIRELY WITHOUT RESERVE

60 AUTOMOBILES AND HUNDREDS OF AUTOMOBILIA LOTS SET FOR 4-5 MAY SALE

• RM Sotheby’s offers the respected Guyton Collection, entirely without reserve, 4-5 May in St. Louis, Missouri
• The superbly curated collection comprises rarest of Veteran, Brass, and Classic Era American and European motor cars
• Automobiles offered alongside hundreds of lots of automobilia, collectables, petroliana, and original artwork
• Event information and all lots in the collection available at rmsothebys.com in the coming weeks

RM Sotheby’s is honoured to announce that it will present the esteemed Guyton Collection, comprising the cars and automobilia of the late Mr Fred Guyton, entirely without reserve. Set for 4-5 May at the collection site in St. Louis, Missouri, the auction will present Mr Guyton’s 60 Veteran, Brass, and Classic Era automobiles alongside hundreds of pieces of automobilia and collectables.

A beloved fixture of the collector car hobby, Mr Guyton was well-known and respected within collecting and car club circles, having amassed his renowned collection over more than four decades. After graduating from the University of Illinois College of Fine & Applied Arts in 1961 with a Bachelor of Architecture, Fred Guyton spent a year in the Peace Corps before his induction into the U.S. Army, where he served as a helicopter pilot. After discharge, Fred moved to St. Louis and began his illustrious career as an architect, which culminated in his co-founding of the world-renowned architectural firm Peckham Guyton Albers & Viets, Inc. (PGAV), where he continued to work until his passing in 2018. During Fred’s 35 years as Chairman of PGAV, he led the development of landmark projects around the globe, including Busch Gardens Williamsburg & Tampa, Anheuser-Busch World Headquarters, and Universal Studios Theme Parks. Mr Guyton was a proud St. Louisan, active in civic works, and was appointed by a succession of St. Louis Mayors to numerous posts of local importance.

All of Mr Guyton’s experiences led him to be a true student of history, his passion for which is visible throughout his collection. The motor cars are focused on the era that begins with the dawn of the automobile and culminates in the immediate pre-war period, bringing to light the best of the era’s technological advancements and engineering. Both American and European automobiles were chosen for their importance to automotive history. A true hobbyist, Mr Guyton was on the Board of Directors of the Classic Car Club of America (CCCA), Classic Car Club Museum, and the CCCA Spirit of St. Louis Region.

“Fred Guyton was a treasured name in the collector car hobby, and we’re honoured to present his fascinating collection at auction,” says Donnie Gould, Car Specialist, RM Sotheby’s. “With an encyclopedic knowledge of history himself, Fred’s collection tells the story of a significant period in automotive advancement, one that we’re thrilled to share with the hobby this spring. Fred rarely if ever sold a part of his beloved collection, and, apart from a handful of cars, did not show his collection often, so this truly is a very rare opportunity.”

Of the 60 automobiles on offer, a trio of Classic Era highlights stand apart from the rest. These include an incredibly rare 1930 Packard 734 Speedster Eight Phaeton, chassis no. 184100, which is an exceptionally original example of the ultimate performance Packard of its era. Offered from just two owners since 1955, including well-known East Coast Packard collector, Tom Mix, the Speedster Eight Phaeton is one of just five ever built, and is worthy of inclusion in the very best collections of American Classics. Joining the Packard is a 1930 Duesenberg Model J Murphy Convertible Sedan, engine no. J-329, a highly cherished piece within the collection. Originally driven by Indianapolis racer Leon Duray, the Model J was stunningly restored by Chris Charlton. Complete with its original chassis, body, and engine, the Duesenberg comes to the market having seldom been shown and providing a host of opportunities for its next owner, who would surely be welcomed at virtually any major concours. Rounding out the group is a 1930 Ruxton Model C Baker-Raulang Roadster, chassis no. 11005. A well-known example of a pioneering front-wheel-drive American car, the Ruxton on offer was one of Mr Guyton’s favourite cars, with known history from new and the Best-Preserved Pre-War Car honours at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. One of the rarest American Full Classics—a mere seven examples remain—a Ruxton Roadster is seldom available for public sale.

Beyond the most cherished pieces of the collection, there are several significant automobiles for which Guyton was well-known in the hobby. The first of these cars is a 1906 Mason Touring, chassis no. 77, the earliest car designed by the Duesenberg brothers. A well-engineered Brass Era car, the Mason is formerly of the Harrah’s Collection and is a significant early automobile offered with well-known, long-term history. Also on offer is a 1927 Duesenberg Model X Dual-Cowl Phaeton, engine no. X3, the Chicago and Los Angeles motor show car in the period and the first Model X to become available for public sale in decades. A part of the collection for over 20 years, the Model X is the rarest production Duesenberg as one of just 13 built and only four remaining. The 1938 Rolls-Royce Phantom III ‘Parallel Door’ Saloon, chassis no. 3DL86 was perhaps Fred Guyton’s best-known, and most beloved car, gifted to him by a very close friend upon his passing. With a fascinating feature of sliding doors alongside stunning lines, the Phantom III is something to behold. Finally, a 1909 Rolls-Royce 40/50 HP Silver Ghost Roi des Belges, chassis no. 1203, also highlights the collection. Formerly of the Richard Solove Collection, the Silver Ghost is a Pebble Beach and Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance award-winner and a long-time national tour veteran.

Mr Guyton’s passion for historical pursuits is reflected in very discernable areas within his automobilia and collectibles as well, with an entire room in his facility dedicated to WWI and WWII aviation and naval ephemera, as well as a superb automotive library. Well over 500 pieces of automobilia, collectibles, petroliana, sports memorabilia, and original artwork are set for the May auction, alongside more than 3,000 model and toy cars, including what is regarded as one of the world’s finest assortments of Minic Clockwork Toy Cars. Within the collection is a tremendous group of mascots, bronzes, badges, and original paintings by renowned automotive artists, the perfect complement to any collection of motor cars. RM Sotheby’s will also be offering the furniture and equipment from the collection, including display cabinets and accessories of use to collectors.

Complete event details and a list of all items offered in The Guyton Collection will be available at rmsothebys.com in the coming weeks. The 1930 Packard 734 Speedster Eight Phaeton will be available for advance viewing at RM Sotheby’s upcoming Amelia Island sale, 8-9 March in Florida, as well as on the lawn at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, 10 March. To speak with an RM Sotheby’s specialist or to register to bid for this exceptional collection, please call +1 519 352 4575.
