Dec 7, UK: Classic cars going under the hammer

From Carloan 4U.UK: Classic cars going under the hammer

A total of 36 classic cars are to be put up auction at an event in London next week, with the motors said to be valued at a combined sum in excess of £6 million.

Coys has announced that its True Greats auction has attracted a high-quality list of lots.

Among the vehicles set to go under the hammer on Wednesday (December 7th) are an Aston Martin DB5 owned by former Beatle George Harrison and a Mercedes Benz 300 SL Roadster.

Other lots will include a Cord 810 Phaeton owned by Dragons' Den star Duncan Bannatyne and Jimmy Page.

Managing director of Coys Chris Routledge said: "We are delighted to offer for sale George Harrison's first "important" car, bought new and delivered to him personally in 1965 at his Kinfauns estate in Esher, Surrey, England."

When it comes to selling a car at auction, its value could be affected by whether a previous owner has smoked in it, Autorola recently warned.
