The auction was billed as a "December Sale", but of course the event at the RAF Museum in Hendon had nothing to do with selling out. 88 vehicles with at least three wheels (including a Morgan Threewheeler) went under the hammer, 60 of which were sold, representing a sales rate of around 77%. Around a third of the vehicles were from the period before and during the Second World War and these proved to be more marketable than their descendants. 79% of the pre-war cars sold for an average of 115% of their estimated value, while the proportion of cars from the post-war generation that were knocked down was only 73% and the average selling price was 98% of the estimate.
