Silverstone
Auctions returns to Race Retro to host a two-day Classic Car Sale on Saturday 25th
and Sunday 26th February, in addition to its Competition Car Sale on
24th February, at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire.
With
an incredibly varied catalogue, it’s best ever at Race Retro, Silverstone
Auctions has brought together the finest classic cars with plenty of rare and
low mileage examples, high performance sports cars and collectible modern
classics to choose from, as well as a selection of luxury watches and
automobilia.
“This
is our sixth auction at Race Retro and we have another exceptional line-up of
cars this year, perhaps our best ever at the event,” comments Nick Whale,
managing director, Silverstone Auctions. “We’re delighted to be part of the
show again and, as always, we have some really unique opportunities for buyers and
collectors and some really special cars on offer that rarely come to market.”
Headlining
the sale is a UK, right-hand drive 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GT featuring the
incredibly rare and desirable factory fitted flared wheel arches and Campagnolo
wheels. It will be offered for sale for the first time
in 22 years at an estimate of £300,000 to £350,000.
Another highlight of
the sale is a 1983 Lamborghini Countach LP500S with an impressive 12 British
Outright Speed records. The rare, right-hand drive, UK
delivered Countach LP500S is one of only 25 examples made and was first owned
by racing driver and Lamborghini aficionado Barry Robinson. Presenting a unique
opportunity to collectors, it will be offered at a sale estimate of £325,000 to
£350,000.
For buyers seeking a
younger model, a right-hand drive 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SV finished
in the striking combination of Arancio Leonis with an Alcantara interior, is
offered at an estimate of £240,000 to £280,000.
Also in the sale, a 1956
BMW 502 V8 saloon, one of just 12 right-hand drive examples produced, offers
collectors a rare and stylish road car with lots of provenance. It has been driven by many famous racing drivers including Marc Surer
and Alan Jones, 1980 F1 World Champion, and will be offered with a sale
estimate of £30,000 to £35,000.
A very special 2006 Bentley Azure 6.7 Convertible in Dark Sapphire Blue Azure presents an ultra-rare opportunity to own an 'almost as new' condition, incredibly low mileage, modern classic Bentley. With just one registered keeper from new, it is offered at £135,000 to £155,000.
For collectors looking
for something a little more unusual, a 1939 4 1/4 Ltr Blown Derby Bentley
"Rusty Turner" Special will be offered with an estimate of £110,000
to £140,000. One of three built by the talented Tony Fabian and converted to a
sports racer by 'Rusty' Turner in 1968, it emotes pre-war Bentley with a long
and interesting history.
“We look forward to
welcoming visitors at Race Retro to our special sale and we hope to help
show-goers leave with their dream classic,” concludes Nick Whale.
