Well, the first month of Silverstone Auctions has come and gone very quickly!
Our new website www.silverstoneauctions.com has launched very well and our Press, Media and PR campaign has kicked in to generate
some real quality entries in to our first 2 sales at Silverstone.
The team is highly motivated and looking forward to the completion of the fantastic new Wing at Silverstone due next month, in time for the
official opening on May 17th 2011 by the Duke of Kent.
We are currently in temporary office premises in Fenny Compton alongside our transport partner - On Time Automotive, but have acquired
excellent new freehold permanent premises in nearby Gaydon which are currently being renovated and turned in to our full time office location.
Our first sale is to be held at the British round of MotoGP on June 11th/12th and is exclusively for motorcycles of all types and motorcycling memorabilia. We are encouraging early entries at a special rate of £120- plus buyers commission of just 2.5%.
Meanwhile our Sportscar business continues to thrive with sales of 6 modern cars in March, 2 competition cars ( my beloved Porsche 911 rally car and my equally beloved Ford Mustang FIA saloon) and 2 Classics - including our fabulous V12 E-Type Roadster.
We have bought a very nice Maserati Merak SS, which is just being serviced and recommissioned as well as some fabulous modern Sportscars for the Summer - including a V8 Vantage Convertible Aston, our first Lotus Evora and an amazingly cheap Aston DB9!
Keep an eye on the website as they are all due soon.
Finally, Nick Whale Marine is getting a complete office refurb in Puerto Portals due for completion by the end of April for an official opening on Saturday May 7th. In line with our new branding we are also launching a very special all new website week commencing Monday 11 th April with an entirely new look and feel that will reflect the values of our key manufacturer partners - Grand Banks, Numarine and Humber Ribs. Our charter side is very busy with a fantastic selection of new boats, please call Sophie or Di for more details and availability this Spring and Summer.
Best wishes to all our clients for an enjoyable Spring!
