More recent Classic Car Auction results

As published in the 5th of March, 2014 issue of Classic Car weekly, the forthcoming Bonhams of Oxford Auction has a heavenly mix of affordable Classic cars that are all on the rise. There is a Spanish Registered 1964 Bentley S3 Continental Coupe that has been completely restored, and looks absolutely stunning and only requires a new owner to be complete. The car was first delivered by Loxhams Garages Ltd, and was fitted with many special features such as a Marchal foot operated horn. The expected Auction return is GB£55,000 to GB£65,000 ( AU$ 101,851 - AU$ 120,370 ).

There is also a 1962 Ford Consul Capri up for sale, and this a perfect example of this much sought after Classic. The Consul Capri featured very glamorous lines that appeared similar to the American Ford Galaxie Starliner, and so brought a bit of the USA styling to Britain in 1960. Sadly however, by 1964 it was gone due to a poor reception in the United Kingdom, making these cars very rare indeed. this example has been restored, and has only travelled 600 miles in the last 4 years. The car is expected to make GB£8,000 to GB£12,000 ( AU$ 14,800 - AU$ 22,200 ).

Another Classic sure to please is the Iconic Mini, of which there were several at the Chaterhouse Auction. One such Classic was a 1960 Austin Seven Mini Deluxe, which sold for GB£5900 ( AU$ 10,925 ), and had been owned by the Vendor since 1982, having been lightly restored, and having just 42,000 miles on the clock. The other Mini was a 1962 Morris Mini Minor 850 Deluxe, and this car sold for GB£6800 ( AU$ 12,592 ). This was a one owner car with Full History, and was completely original and unrestored.
