Finally live again. For British auction-goers, this wish could come true on May 22, 2021, when Silverstone Auctions auctions 65 classic cars alongside motorcycles and automobilia at Stoneleigh Park, south of Coventry in England.
The cars are worth around £6.5 million, which means just under £100,000 per car. On average, the vehicles are 39 years old.
Rare Subarus
It's not every day you can buy a WRC rally winner, but chassis PRO-WRC 04008 is a Subaru Impreza S10 WRC from 2004, in which Petter Solberg won the Rally Japan. The car has been completely restored and is now expected to fetch a price of £385,000 to £450,000.
In comparison, the £120,000 to £140,000 being asked for a 1999 Subaru Impreza 22B-STi seems almost cheap, especially as it is said to be one of only 16 built for the UK.
A Subaru P1 from 2000 is even cheaper. Alternatively, you can also go for a Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R V-Spec LM Limited from 1996, one of only 102 vehicles built. Estimates range from £58,000 to £68,000.
Porsche turbo trio
Silverstone can offer three different Porsche 911 Turbo (930). They date from 1977, 1985 and 1988.
The oldest of the three coupés is also left-hand drive, but is also confidently valued at £ 100,000 to £ 120,000.
The Lotus Elan from Steve Soper
Not only is Steve Soper one of the most famous British touring car drivers, he also had good taste.
He owned the yellow and white Lotus Elan Sprint DHC from 1972, which has only covered 21,886 miles to date and is considered one of the best of these cars ever. The estimate is correspondingly high at £ 58,000 to £ 65,000
Two Jowett Jupiters
The Jowett Jupiter was a very special British sports car with a boxer engine and two-seater body.
While the red car from (approx.) 1953 is a very late factory convertible, the second is a vehicle that only existed on plans at the time of the company's bankruptcy, but was subsequently built by enthusiasts.
This Jowett Jupiter Mk2 has a very pleasing appearance and was estimated to be considerably cheaper than its cost price.
Some super classics
The range of expensive classics on offer is also considerable.
There are three Aston Martin DB6s up for auction, a Maserati Ghibli, two Jaguar E-Type Series 1s and a Mercedes-Benz 190 SL and 280 SL (Pagoda).
The BMW Z1 can also be counted among the super classics.
The MG TC should also be mentioned here, although demand for it has fallen significantly in recent years.
However, the 1946 TC on offer is a special example, firstly because it was built in 1946, making it one of the earliest cars, and secondly because the car belonged to the famous MG world record driver Goldie Gardner. An estimate of £23,000 to £28,000 seems almost reasonable.
More information on the individual lots and many photographs can be found on the Silverstone Auctions website.
