£1.45m of stunning cars sold in Silverstone auction
An exquisite mix of classic cars, modern sports cars and championship
winning competition cars were sold for a premium inclusive total of
£1,444,440 at Silverstone on Friday with a sale rate of 65%.
The Walter Hayes Sale, organised by Silverstone Auctions, was the second classic car sale organised by the company and was held in Silverstone circuit's new £27m 'Wing' building.
65 cars were entered into the auction and represented some of the finest and rarest models available, ensuring high levels of interest from around the world and some fiercely contested bidding.
"Silverstone is rightly recognised as one of the most famous motorsport venues in the world so it was only fitting that we were able to offer such an exceptional collection of automobiles for sale," comments Nick Whale, managing director, Silverstone Auctions. "And with such an appealing and exquisite collection of cars, it comes as little surprise that bidding was very competitive on a number of lots."
One of the highlights of the auction and the most expensive lot sold was a rare 1969 AC 428 Coupe manual (lot 136). Believed to be one of only six manual examples manufactured, the car fetched £124,000, significantly more than its guide book estimate of between £85,000 - £100,000.
Another star lot which fell under the hammer was a 1974 Monica (lot 123). This car was being sold directly from the estate of the late Chris Lawrence, the project's chief engineer, and fetched an impressive £55,000.
A number of rare Jaguar's were also among the most valuable and sought after cars in the auction. A right hand drive 1958 Jaguar XK 150 S 3.4 Roadster (lot 128), one of only nine home market examples manufactured that year, was sold for £96,000. Lot 137, a stunning 1952 Jaguar XK120 Fixhead Coupe fetched £81,400. And a 1961 Jaguar Mk IX (lot 144) sold for £35,700, more than £10,000 higher than its guide book estimate.
"The Walter Hayes Sale was a fantastic conclusion to our first year of auctions," adds Nick Whale. "We still have a number of deals pending but the figures already prove to vendors that we can genuinely help them achieve the very best sale of their car. But equally, we were delighted with the sheer quality and diversity of the collection that we managed to bring together in Northamptonshire. With two classic car sales now under our belt, we look forward to pressing on in 2012, broadening our horizons and continuing to deliver some of the finest cars in the market."
Silverstone Auctions' next sale, the Race Retro Classic Car Sale, will be held on Saturday 25th February 2012 at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire. For further information about the sale or to submit an entry, visit www.silverstoneauctions.com or call 01926 691141.

The first sale for Silverstone Auctions took place on Saturday 11 th June in the fabulous new 'Wing' building during the 2011 MotoGP.
We were delighted to offer an amazing catalogue of over 80 motorcycles at our inaugural sale, which looked fantastic in their new surroundings. Toby Moody made an excellent auctioneering debut and created a good atmosphere.
Sadly, the over efficient organisers from Dorna made life a bit difficult for some of our prospective buyers to gain easy access to the sale, with many people simply unable to access our event venue because of restrictions in to the MotoGP paddock. Silverstone Auctions sincerely apologises to all those clients for this error.
Arrangements are now made with the organiser of the Silverstone Classic to provide VIP parking and a direct transfer to the Wing, including overall access to the event, as part of the catalogue purchase price.
Meanwhile over 25 bikes were finally sold, despite these entry difficulties, with several potential sales still ongoing.
It was an emotional moment for the lucky lady purchaser of Valentino Rossi's road going Ducati 1198 which he had used to lap the circuit at the opening of the Wing, some 2 weeks earlier. She paid just over £18,000 for the special bike and vows to never sell it! Silverstone Auctions were proud to auction the bike on behalf of the charity ' Riders for Health'.
We now are building a fantastic entry for the Silverstone Classic sale on Saturday 23 rd July. Please join us, whether you are buying or selling, for what promises to be a great event. Entries finally close for the sale on Friday July 1st. Don't miss it!

February Update
January was another busy and successful month for both our Sportscars and Marine businesses.
Classic cars are moving quickly as prooved by our Plus 8 Morgan, which didn't even get as far as appearing on our website, the quick sale of our special Lotus Cortina and the recognition of the rarity of our MGB GT L.E. by an Australian client, who intends to tour the British Isles with the car later this Summer.
The Britcar BMW M3 that gave the great, late David Leslie so much success on the track is now sold and heading straight to New Zealand, where I am sure it will continue it's winning ways.
Modern sports cars are flying away with our special GT3 Porsche now gone to the first man that came to see it and both our Jaguar XKR's lasting no more than a week on our website!
Our selection of modern sports cars is now the best we have had for some time. Each car in this eclectic mix has been hand picked, mostly sourced from ex-customers who we know and trust of old. All represent quality and extreme value in the Market today.
We are taking over Vitesse Yachts in Puerto Portals, Mallorca and will continue to offer the best selection of motor cruisers for private charter in the Balearics. Our experienced team there can provide guardianage for your current boat, full charter facilities, boat maintenance and servicing , an excellent used boat brokerage as well as new boat sales for Numarine Yachts.
We are proud to announce that we are shortly to become the main agent for the Grand Banks range for the whole of Spain. This highly reputable and well established American company makes outstanding family motor yachts with a very strong pedigree and from a long line of tradition. Phill Gregory is your contact at Nick Whale Marine for all things Grand Banks.
Finally, we are still very short of quality classic car stock and eager to buy, so please call me with your classic gems!
Thank you

News
As predicted once again, the first to see our Porsche 911 GT3 did infact buy it and it is now being used and enjoyed in Kent, in time for the track day season.
Our BMW M3 race car looks set to travel to a new home and an enthusiastic owner in New Zealand, whilst the first of 2 exceptional Jaguar XKR's was also sold to the first customer to see it, earlier in the month.
There is plenty of activity in the modern market for genuine cars that are priced to sell.
We have just purchsed an exceptional value for money Mercede-Benz S Class 500 and our classic car collection has also grown to include our fresh and interesting Lotus Cortina SE and a really original 1965 Mini Cooper which is heading for a restoration re-paint before being offered for sale.
The London boat show generated a lot of interest and enquiries on new, used and charter boats for our Vitesse team, now back at base in Puerto Portals,Mallorca. The boat market is definitely starting to finally pick up and business looks promising for this season. Our Numarine 68 Fly which was advertised in both Boat International and Motor Boat and Yachting has generated 4 orders worldwide for the factory, leaving just one boat available for delivery within the next 12 months, for delivery in Jan 2012. This is an extremely good value for money proposition for a family boat at an unrepeatable price. If you are seriously in the market please contact me as soon as poss.
We will making a significant announcement in the next few weeks about a very exciting business that we are going to be launching late in Feb 2011 in the classic car, bike and racing world.Keep an eye on this space!

We will making a significant announcement in the next few weeks about a very exciting business that we are going to be launching late in Feb 2011 in the classic car, bike and racing world.Keep an eye on this space!

2011
A Happy and Peaceful New Year to all our customers, old and new, from Mark, Lionel, Graham and myself.
During the break we have now collected our very special Lotus Cortina which is receiving a mechanical inspection at Abbott Racing, prior to being offered for sale here in Warwickshire.
We have also just picked up our outstanding 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 which looks very seasonal and smart in Guards Red. It really does offer outstanding value in the 997 GT3 market, undercutting everybody on price, main dealers and specialists, but still being the nicest condition we have ever seen. Don't miss it!
We are very keen on purchasing more stock, both modern and classic, and invite you to pick up the phone and tell us what you've got! We are delighted to purchase outright or sell on your behalf to suit your needs, just let us know.
Meanwhile on the marine side, we are calling all boaters to come and visit us at the London Boat Show ( Jan 7 - 16), at Excel in the Docklands in the South Hall stand J19.
You will be made most welcome at our Numarine UK stand and may even be offered a free drink!
Best,
Nick W.
