'Good sales results' for Historics at Brooklands

Classic and sports car insurance seekers may be interested to note the results of an auction last weekend (September 25th), which saw 72 vehicles go under the hammer.

The Historics at Brooklands sale saw a total of just under £1,000,000 raised by classic car enthusiasts keen to snap up a number of unique motors.

One such model was an immaculate 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5 litre Cabriolet - one of just 55 right-hand drive models ever made by the luxury manufacturer - which reached a sale price of £80,460 following frantic bidding from a number of potential buyers.

A number of sports car enthusiasts were also interested in the competition cars that went on sale at the event. In this sector, a 954 'Barn Find' Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk 1 was purchased by ex-works racer Noel Cunningham-Reid for £63,000.

Meanwhile, a 1956 Jaguar XK140 Fixedhead Coupe Competition reached £46, 935 and a 1954 Triumph TR2 Supercharged fetched £18,438.

The next Historics at Brooklands sale is set to take place on December 4th.
