Gallery: HJC's Top 10 at Barons' 28 April auction
Billed as its Spring Classic auction, Barons' sale this coming weekend (28 April) at its traditional home of Sandown Park in Esher, has more than its fair share of all-year round cars to get your teeth into. Here's a selection of our favourites.
So to reflect the interesting mix of classics that Barons has put together on its lot list, we've picked 10 that we'd happily drive home after the sale and press into summer use in time for the show season. You'll can't have helped but notice that most are in the sub-£10,000 category, but the Vauxhall Lotus Carlton - which isn't - could well be the most undervalued of them all...
Jaguar XJ-SC
£5500-6500
The XJ-SC by Tickford was the first factory 'S sold by Jaguar, and proved that there was a massive, untapped market for open-topped cruisers from Browns Lane. Admittedly, this one, with the excellent AJ6 3.6-litre engine and five-speed manual transmission is more of a sports car, and perhaps that's why it's so appealing. Clearly, with the roll-over paraphernalia in place, it's less visually pleasing than the later full convertible, but at this estimate for such a rare Jaguar, we can't help but be tempted.
