The International Classic Sale took place on Friday 17th May 2013 in the Wing at Silverstone, with excellent results for vendors and purchasers alike.
40 cars worth a total of £920,000 changed hands out of the 61 cars entered, giving us a sales rate of 66% on the day with plenty of post sale deals under discussion.
Additionally the first 'Lifestyle' sale was deemed a success with our quality leather goods nearly selling out and a strong following for both watches and antique jewellery. We will repeat our Lifestyle sale at our next event at the Silverstone Classic on July 27th at Silverstone, with more emphasis on watches, antique jewellery and leather goods.
The Sunday sale of European motorhomes had a more modest attendance but still new homes were found for 9 of the motorhomes in the sale with post sale deals still on going. We will be repeating our involvement with motor homes at both the Carfest events (North and South) taking place this August.
Entries are now invited for our biggest and most popular sale of the year on 27th July -The Silverstone Classic Sale, which is an integral part of the Silverstone Classic Festival (26-28th July) of historic motorsport and rock music. Over 100,000 advance tickets have been pre-sold for this tremendous event and we look forward to seeing you there.
