1966 Mini Cooper 1275S Makes £31,000 at Historics

Early Porsche 911s remainds on the pace with a professional nut and bolt rebuild, a pristine white 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Sport Targa sold over its top estimate at £103,000. This was one of five Porsches on sale, all bar one of which found a new home.

 

Trimph TRs also remain on the boil with a 1968 Triumph TR5 fitted with the rare Surrey hardtop soaring above estimate to £37,000, supported by a 1972 Triumph TR6 settling at £15,000 whilst a brace of Triumph Stags were hammered down at strong mid-estimate prices.

A beautifully elegant 1960 Jaguar XK150 made £62,000.

A rare 1990 Alfa Romeo SZ sold for £26,000. An ultra-rare 1961 Alfa Romeo Formula One single seater with FIA papers sold for £60,000 and the newest car amongst the consignments, a 2006 Ferrari F430 Spider, made £70,000 and might not drop any lower, representing a reasonable 9 year old investment for its new owner.

The 1973 Iso Fidia that had languished in a barn since the mid 1980s and needed very expensive restoration changed hands for a £6,250.

A 1926 Talbot 10/23 reached its top estimate at £11,000, followed by a 1932 Wolseley Hornet Special at £24,000, and a charming nut and bolt restoration 1937 MG VA going for its top estimate of £27,500.

The 1937 SS Jaguar Saloon displayed in a Museum in Spain for 12 years sold for £40,000.

Finally, starting to catch up with Toyota FJ prices in the USA, a 1982 Toyota HJ47 pick-up sold to a Toyota dealer for £14,500 (£15,950 inc), and may join Toyota's own historic fleet at future events.

Historics is now welcoming consignments for its next auction at Brooklands on November 28th
