Silverstone Auctions return to its spiritual home of The Wing at Silverstone circuit on July 24-26, with another high quality mix of consignments including some exceptional supercars from the 1970s to 1990s.
Last year’s Silverstone Classic auction saw total sales of over 5million pounds ($7.5 million) and Silverstone Auctions achieved two world record prices, with 85 percent of the cars on offer successfully sold. Looking forward to this year’s date, Silverstone Auctions invites quality consignments ahead one of the most significant sales in its calendar, adding to its already high quality lot list.
Among the cars offered in the Silverstone Classic Sale is a 1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GT. Delivered new to Luigi Chinetti (Le Mans winner, founder of NART (North American Racing Team) and Ferrari dealer) in New York, the 246 GT for sale is a superb example worthy of its 240,000 pounds-280,000 pounds estimate. Complete with original bill of sale, owners’ handbook, tool kit, jack and bag, this particular car has had a lot of interest ahead of its sale.
Plus, with reports surfacing that an all-new Dino is being readied by Ferrari, interest in the original version will undoubtedly grow – even beyond current levels.
Another icon of its time, the 1980’s favourite Porsche 911 (930) Turbo. One of the last 930 Turbos off the production line, comes with the desirable later five-speed gearbox, iconic "Whale Tale" spoiler and Guards Red paint with contrasting cream interior and Fuchs wheels. Remaining in the same ownership since 1993, the car has been meticulously owned and maintained and comes with all service documents and low mileage for its age.
