Fantastic Result at Race-Retro

A great catalogue of over 80 classic cars, race cars and motorcycles were entered for the last sale by Silverstone Auctions at Race Retro on Saturday Feb 23rd 2013. With over 70 Lots of Automobilia offered and sold, the total sale for cars, bikes and Automobilia generated £1,542,845 worth of turnover with just under 50 cars sold in total.

In addition to the 5 competition cars and 2 bikes sold, the classic cars generated a sales rate of 68% and both buyers and sellers were all delighted with the result.

Highlights included both a London Routemaster bus (£20,700) and a London 'black cab' (£2,760), along with a beautiful Aston Martin DB6 (£122,980) in Aston's centenary year and an amazing Connaught Grand-Prix car (£195,000).

Local firm Land-Rover will be proud with the price achieved for a completely restored 1952 Land Rover 80' of £33,580. Even a humble Ford Capri achieved £10,522, albeit one fitted with a Chevrolet V8!

Overall a second great sale at Race-Retro where Silverstone Auctions will once again return in 2014.

Meanwhile our focus now turns to inviting entries for the next sale at our home venue of The Wing at Silverstone Circuit on Friday 17th May 2013. Please contact any of our team at www.silverstoneauctions.com with details of any classic car or motorcycle that you may wish to enter.
