Classic Car Insurance - Classic cars to be auctioned

Classic cars to be auctioned

Around 50 classic cars will be auctioned later this month by BCA, including a Jaguar saloon owned by a Pink Panther star and a Flipper II Microcar.

Herbert Lom of the Pink Panther films will be selling his 1996 Jaguar XJ Executive Saloon for an estimated £3,000.

Mr Lom described it as "a smooth drive and an extremely comfortable car, as many of my showbusiness friends who have travelled in it as passengers over the years have remarked."

An alternative classic car is also up for auction in the form of a 1982 Flipper II Microcar, a 49cc machine made by French manufacturer SEAB.

BCA refers potential bidders to an episode of BBC Two's Top Gear programme where presenter Jeremy Clarkson drove a similar tiny vehicle. It is estimated to sell for around £1,500.

Fans of classic cars may also want to bid on a restored 1927 Austin Seven Gordon England Cup Model. With a leather-trimmed cockpit, tonneau cover and original registration number, the car promises to be "ready to race".

The auction will take place on Tuesday July 22nd at Blackbushe.
