It is always a small and fine auction that Bonhams organizes at the end of the year at its headquarters on Bond Street. A noble setting also calls for noble vehicles, and the Bonhams specialists have lined up 36 of them for December 2, 2017, ranging from a children's Bugatti and a few motorcycles to million-dollar classics from Aston Martin and Ferrari.

Jaguar XK150 3.8-Litre 'S' Coupé (1960) - as lot 116 at Bonhams' Bond Street auction on December 2, 2017

In total, the vehicles are valued at around £15 million, which implies an average price of almost £420,000, or EUR 452,000 or CHF 545,000 at current exchange rates.

Elton John's Bentleys

Two Bentleys once owned by Elton John are on the December 2, 2017 lot list.

Bentley S2 Continental Flying Spur Sports Saloon (1960) - as lot 111 at the Bond Street auction by Bonhams on December 2, 2017

There is the four-door Bentley S2 Continental Flying Spur Sports Saloon from 1960, which Elton John drove a lot and which is now set to find a new owner for £160,000 to £190,000.

Eight lot numbers later comes a two-door Bentley S1 Continental Sport Saloon from 1959, which Elton John bought in 1976 and had restored. It left the collection in 2001 to pass into new hands again. Since then, it has changed hands two more times and is now going under the hammer for £400,000 to £500,000, including the accessories fitted by Elton John - power steering, air conditioning and a modern music system.

Paul McCartney's Aston

One price range higher is the car of ex-Beatle Paul McCartney, an Aston Martin DB5 from 1964 with chassis DB5/1653/R. The car comes from a new restoration and has only covered 2600 miles since then.

Paul McCartney owned the car from 1964 to 1970 and paid 3800 pounds and 10 shillings for it at the time. Now it is said to be a little more expensive, with an estimate of £1.25 to 1.5 million.

You can also get an ex-Beatles car a little cheaper, but then it's not an Aston but a Mini that was once driven by Ringo Starr, the band's drummer, and which was built specifically for his needs at the time. The Mini, which is equipped to transport an entire drum kit, is now said to cost between £90,000 and £120,000.

Valuable Ferrari sports cars

However, the two most highly valued cars in the auction are not from Great Britain, but from Italy, and are also relatively young.

Ferrari 288 GTO Coupé (1985) - as lot 117 at the Bond Street auction by Bonhams on December 2, 2017

A Ferrari 288 GTO from 1985 is expected to fetch £ 2 to 2.5 million, the Ferrari Enzo from 2004 £ 1.8 to 2.2 million.

Ferrari 365 GTB/4 'Daytona Berlinetta (1972) - as lot 122 at the Bond Street auction by Bonhams on December 2, 2017

A Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona from 1972 is offered at a slightly lower price, estimated at £ 500,000 to £ 600,000.

GB first

Typical for the domestic market, the offer is dominated by British vehicles, including several Jaguars, a Bristol, an Alvis, a Ford RS200 and a Rolls-Royce in addition to the aforementioned Bentley and Aston Martin brands.

Even motorcycles are dominated by local brands such as Vincent, Brough and BSA.

But of course there are also classics from other countries, including a 1955 Lancia B24 Spider America (£750,000 to £950,000) or a 1965 Porsche 911 (£170,000 to £200,000).

The majority of British cars are right-hand drive, but there are also left-hand drive Astons.

It will be interesting to see the results, perhaps one or two cars will make it into the top 25 of 2017.

Further information and many pictures of the vehicles can be found on the Bonhams website.
