ROWAN ATKINSON OFFERS HIS MERCEDES 500 E AS STAR LOT AT CCA’S MAY SALE

ROWAN ATKINSON OFFERS HIS MERCEDES 500 E AS STAR LOT AT CCA’S MAY SALE

The next Classic Car Auctions (CCA) sale on the 25th May at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre is set to have a number of star lots, including a 1991 Mercedes 500 E owned twice by Rowan Atkinson.

Leading the sale is the 1991 Mercedes 500 E currently owned and offered by Rowan Atkinson CBE. A known car enthusiast and historic racer, Rowan likes to enjoy his cars rather than tuck them away. His most prized car, which was recently sold, the Mclaren F1, is well documented.

The Mercedes 500E he is offering is extremely unusual in that Rowan has owned it not once, but twice.

He bought the car new in 1991 and owned it for four years before selling it on to its second owner, who then owned the car for the next 23 years. Rowan then repurchased the car in July 2017 as he had enjoyed it so much and now offers it for sale again.

This particular Mercedes 500 E is a real rarity as it is 1 of only 29 UK supplied cars in Left Hand Drive and is a serious powerhouse. The ultimate wolf in sheep’s clothing, its 5.0L V8 goes from 0 to 62 mph in 5.5 seconds and tops out at 161mph.

It has regularly been featured in Car Magazine over the years and comes with a comprehensive history file. With an MOT until 2020 and attractively guided to allow for some tidying up, this could be your chance to own an extremely unique car being offered at no reserve.

Gary Dunne, Classic Car Auctions auction manager commented “We are delighted to be offering a car direct from Rowan Atkinson. It has such an unusual story in that he has owned it twice.”

“We often have unusual stories and this one is one of those, especially for a celebrity to repurchase his car after such a long period”

“We generally do well with celebrity cars and this car is going to generate a lot of interest, not just because who owned it but also the rarity of the car.”

 Aston Martin is eagerly anticipating this year’s inaugural one-make sale at the world-famous Monterey Car Week which stems from the brand’s new partnership with RM Sotheby’s.

The world’s largest auction house for investment-quality automobiles is already preparing for its Evening of Aston Martin sale on 15 August 2019, with today’s announcement of initial entries for sale led by a 1964 Aston Martin DB5 offered from 40 years of single private ownership.

“This early interest in the inaugural auction from owners around the world is an extremely positive sign,” said Paul Spires, President of Aston Martin Works.

“The market for historic cars is constantly evolving and it is vital that, with its remarkable heritage and growing appeal worldwide, Aston Martin is represented by the best auction house in the business. RM Sotheby’s give us at Aston Martin Works – the global heritage division of Aston Martin – the opportunity to reach a first class international clientele.”

Extending the record-setting Monterey sale to three days for 2019, RM Sotheby’s will present a dedicated, single-marque auction on Thursday, 15 August 2019 at the Monterey Conference Center, featuring more than 30 of the world’s most sought-after road-going and track-ready Aston Martin sports cars from across the marque’s illustrious 106-year history.

“We are honoured to partner with Aston Martin as the marque’s official auction house and for what is set to be an incredible evening in Monterey,” said Gord Duff, Global Head of Auctions, RM Sotheby’s.

“RM Sotheby’s has long been the auction house of choice for the sale of important Aston Martin models, and our Monterey auction has proven time and again to be the best venue for the most exceptional examples, exhibited by the sale of the one-off DP215 last year, and the DBR1/1 in 2017 – the most valuable British car ever sold at auction.”

Hand-built at the Aston Martin factory in Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, the very early 1964 DB5 consigned for the auction is a factory left-hand-drive example, chassis no. DB5/1305/L. Just the fifth DB5 ever produced and sold new through British Motor Car Distributors in San Francisco to the Washington Fruit & Produce Corporation, the iconic sports car was purchased by the consignor in 1981 off the street in Sausalito, California, and has remained in his private ownership ever since.

Commencing in 2019, RM Sotheby’s annual Aston Martin single-marque sale is sure to become a highlight of Monterey Car Week. For further information on RM Sotheby’s Monterey auction and to view a frequently updated list of entries, please visit www.rmsothebys.com.  

‘TURKISH DELIGHTS’ ARE KEY TO BONHAMS GOODWOOD MEMBERS’ MEETING SALE

https://www.classicchatter.co.uk/events-guide

‘TURKISH DELIGHTS’ ARE KEY
TO BONHAMS GOODWOOD MEMBERS’ MEETING SALE

 

1956 Mercedes-Benz 300SC Coupé, Estimate: £400,000-500,000.

A collection of ‘Turkish delights’ will be offered at the Bonhams Goodwood Members’ Meeting Sale on Sunday 7 April, in the form of 24 rare restored historic motor cars, offered directly from Turkey’s Key Museum, led by a 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300SC Coupé, with an estimate of £400,000-500,000. 

The 300SC will be joined in the Bonhams Goodwood selection by an exceptional 1962 Aston Martin DB4 ‘Series IV’ Sports Saloon (£250,000-300,000) and a 1947 Delahaye Type 135M Cabriolet (£220,000-280,000), both fully restored by the Key museum’s in-house team of 12 mechanics.

With its Sindelfingen coachwork and hand-finished tan leather interior, the 300SC is one of only 200 examples models built of the model which is widely considered among discerning collectors as the most desirable of all Mercedes-Benz’s post-war luxury cars.

The 300S was the marque’s flagship model throughout the 1950s, as it was lighter and faster and still more comfortable than its predecessor. The SC model was further enhanced with a Bosch-fuel injected 175bhp dry-sump engine to further increase its power and performance, achieving a top speed of 112mph and acceleration of 0-62mph (100kph) of around 13 seconds. 

This particular ultra-rare 300SC was restored in Europe in the 1990s and acquired by the Key museum in 2009 at a US auction. 

1962 Aston Martin DB4 ‘Series IV’ Sports Saloon, Estimate: £250,000-300,000.

The Key Museum is a surprising, 7000m² motoring haven in rural Turkey, situated one hour from Izmir. Founded by two brothers, Murat and Selim Özgörkey, the museum tells a global story of motoring history, and since 2001 its extensive assortment of vehicles has been sourced with meticulous diligence from all corners of the world. 

A change in the museum’s direction has led this world class institution to restructure its collection and so an eclectic selection of 24 cars will now feature prominently at the Bonhams Goodwood Members’ Meeting Sale.

Bonhams Head of Motoring UK, Tim Schofield, commented: “The quality of motor cars sourced by the Key Museum, in a relatively short amount of time, is exceptional, and we are very proud to be including in our sale some of the very best models of their collection. The 24 vehicles headed to Bonhams mirror the quality and diversity found in the Museum itself, with electric, steam and petrol engines all featured.”

Other highlights from the Key Museum collection include:

•  1958 Fiat-Abarth 750 GT ‘Double Bubble’ Coupé, with coachwork by Carrozzeria Zagato, estimate £90,000-120,000.
•  1951 Jaguar Mark V 3½-litre Drophead Coupé, restored by the museum, estimate £80,000-100,000.
•  1960 Facel Vega HK500 Coupé, restored by the museum, estimate £90,000-120,000.
•  1948 Chrysler New Yorker ‘Town & Country’ Convertible, estimate £100,000-130,000.
•  1932 Auburn 8-100A Cabriolet, estimate £80,000-100,000.

The Bonhams Goodwood Members’ Meeting Sale will feature a world-class range of historic motor cars including a 1964 Aston Martin DB5 Sports Saloon (£580,000-660,000), a 1968 Aston Martin DB6 Volante (£480,000-580,000), a 1967 Maserati 3.7-Litre Mistral Spyder (£350,000-450,000) and a 1974 Ferrari 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer, delivered new to Sir Elton John (£250,000-300,000).

ASTON MARTIN DB5 “STAMP CAR” AND DB2 “WASHBOARD” TO STAR AT HEYTHROP BRITISH MARQUES SALE

ASTON MARTIN DB5 “STAMP CAR” AND DB2 “WASHBOARD” TO STAR AT HEYTHROP BRITISH MARQUES SALE

Silverstone Auctions are delighted to announce two stunning Aston Martins, a 1965 Aston Martin DB5 and a 1950 Aston Martin DB2 Washboard to headline the British Marques May sale at Heythrop Park on the 11th May.

Both cars are in stunning condition and have been restored to the highest of standards.

The Aston Martin DB5 will always be associated with the James Bond films and is probably one of the most famous models produced. This particular 1965 car comes with its own special moment in history as it was the car featured by the Royal Mail on a special edition of stamps produced to celebrate “the best in British car manufacturing”.

Finished in the iconic Silver Birch, this car is in the most incredible condition with the original red Connolly hide seats and factory headrests. The car has undergone an impressive restoration by marque experts and had a full engine rebuild by Aston Engineering in 2013.

This is a right hand drive car with a five speed manual gearbox with standard disc brakes and chrome wire wheels. It comes with an impressive history file.

This DB5 was once owned by Chris Evans former Radio 2 breakfast show presenter who is a passionate classic car collector and famed for having one of the ultimate classic car collections. The car is now presented for auction by the current owner estimated at £675,000 to £750,000.

The DB2 Aston Martins were famous for competing at Le Mans in 1949 before they became available as a road going version.

This particular 1950 Aston Martin DB2 Washboard offered for sale is 1 of just 49 cars produced with the three part grille before it was replaced on later cars by a one piece grille on costs grounds. The slatted vent behind each of front wheel gave rise to the “Washboard” nickname and the creation of The Washboard Register for this type of car.

Delivered new to Australia in December 1950, the car underwent an exquisite four year restoration to factory specification by Woodham Mortimer. It comes with numbers matching Aston’s factory data sheet and still in its original Almond Green over Dark Green paint.

In 2015 the car took third place in the Post War Sports Cars class at the world’s most prestigious Concours, Pebble Beach.

Estimated at £475,000 to £550,00 this is an important car and possibly the best DB2 in the world.

tions commented “I am really delighted to have these two extremely special Aston Martins in our British Marques sale at Heythrop Park on the 11th May.”

“They are both in the most stunning condition and come with significant history. I am expecting a lot of interest, they really are two very special cars”

Arwel Richards, Auction Manager for the Heythrop sale commented "We have some really fabulous cars coming to auction and I am delighted to confirm these two fine Aston Martins will headline our British Marques May sale.”

The Silverstone Auctions sale takes place over two days on the 10th and 11th May at Heythrop Park in Oxfordshire. The 10th sees a classic cars sale and the 11th in association with the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club is for British marques.

Silverstone Auctions are still accepting cars for the auction and can be contacted on 01926 691141 or email enquiries@silverstoneauctions.com and would be happy to talk with you and help you through the process of consigning your car.
