Returning to the UK’s finest concours event for the third time, Silverstone Auctions welcomed hundreds of collectors and enthusiasts to its marquee within the stunning grounds of Blenheim Palace for the Salon Privé Sale.
Featuring one of its highest ever quality catalogues, the auction house successfully hammered away more than £3.4million worth of classic cars.
Taking pride of place next to the auction rostrum, an original UK 1963 Porsche 356B TG Super 90, that at the time of consignment was the only right-hand drive Super 90 Coupé on the market in the UK, sold for £146,250.
A very well presented and maintained 1971 Porsche 911 T sold for £69,750, while those who prefer a more modern 911 were clearly impressed by a 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0, which sold for £208,125 including premium.
Speaking after the sale, managing director of Silverstone Auctions, Nick Whale said: “I’m delighted with the results we’ve achieved on behalf of our vendors. It’s always great to see both happy sellers and buyers at an auction and we’ve certainly seen that this weekend.”
Silverstone Auctions’ next sale, The Porsche Sale, takes place back at its spiritual home of Silverstone race circuit on Saturday 15th October, followed by its final sale of the year the NEC Classic Motor Show on the 12thand 13th November.
Nick added: “If you missed the chance to sell with us this summer we’re now inviting entries for our final sales of the year. The Porsche Sale, held in conjunction with Porsche Club GB, is a chance for Porsche fans to buy and sell the finest available selection on the market. Our two-day sale at the UK’s biggest classic car show is always one of the highlight sales of the year.”
