Results: H&H Classic Car Auction Buxton 12th November 2014

H&H has posted results for its Classic Car Sale at Pavilion Gardens, Buxton on 12^th November. Here are the estimates and prices achieved by the cars we featured in our auction preview:

Probably most newsworthy, a 1966 Volvo P1800 Saint’s car (exactly the same as the 1966 P1800 that Irv Gordon of New York took to a record breaking 3,000,000 miles) was estimated at £8,000 - £10,000 with just 60,000 warranted miles. It beat its estimate by selling for £14,840 inc. (There will be another P1800 in Silverstone Auctions sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show this weekend.)

A 1972 Volvo 144GL with two family owners and a modest recorded mileage of 54,264 was estimated at £2,000 - £3,000 but sold for £1,792 inc.

Capri fans had a choice of two 2.8is. The metallic grey 1984 recently emerged after 16 years in a barn so should be relatively rot free. The 1987E in white has just 59,000 miles and has been converted to automatic transmission that might be a bit easier on the vulnerable rear axle. Each were estimated at £4,500-£5,500. Neither of the Capri 2.8is were sold.

Peugeot 205GTIs had been rising rapidly and though this 1991J 1.9 has a sunroof, which makes it less desirable for track days, it’s still a fun drive and we thought likely to appreciate. Estimated £3,000 - £4,000. Sold for £2,800 inc.

For off road enthusiasts, there was a 2007 Foers Ibex, built by John Foers using Landrover running gear and a bespoke spaceframe to give greater ground clearance and better approach/departure angles. Estimated at £16,000 - £18,000, but not sold.

£3,000 - £4,000 was estimated to buy a year 2000 Jaguar XKR with 82k recorded miles, 14 stamps in the book, a recent transmission and rear axle service and an Ardun upgrade to 450PS. It sold for £5,824 inc.

Golden oldies included a 1928 Alvis 12/50 TG two-seater in a nicely patinated ‘barn find’ condition having spent the last 40 years on blocks. Be nice to get it running but keep the look. Estimated at £8,000 - £12,000 and sold for £12,320 inc.

With 4 years in production v/s 1 year for the Model B V8, Model A Fords are ten to a dollar in the USA. The 1930 roadster estimated at £14,000 - £16,000 sold for £13,750 inc. The 1930 Model A Fordor sedan, estimated at £10,000 - £12,000 sold for £11,760 inc. And the 1930 Model A Tudor estimated at  £9,000 - £11,000 sold for £8,960 inc.
