Classic car auction

More than 450 lots will be going under the Silverstone Auctions’ hammer over three days at the Classic. Thursday’s sale features competition cars while those on Friday and Saturday put the spotlight on a diverse and stunning collection of classic road cars.
 
This year’s star lots include one of the most original Porsche 924 Carrera GTRs, one of the earliest E-type Jaguar Roadsters and, topically, a Ferrari 550 Maranello formerly owned by football legend Sir Geoff Hurst MBE. Intriguingly, the sale takes place on the 50^th anniversary of Hurst’s famous hat-trick for England in the World Cup Final on 30 July 1966.
