Auction Prices are well up on Estimates in November.

Auction Prices are well up on Estimates in November.

Well with the passing of another month it would seem that the prices of Classic Cars for sale have jumped yet again, with almost all auction houses throughout Europe having many examples of Classic Cars that they have sold have been well up on the original estimates. With this in mind we thought it quite appropriate to list a few of these examples from one of the major UK Auction Houses, Silverstone Auctions (check the prices shown on www.silverstoneauctions.com in "Past Auctions"). Sure, some Classic Cars did not meet expectations, although the majority were well up :
