Second, a 1993 model Bentley Turbo R luxury sedan in excellent condition will go for between R450 000 and R480 000, say the organisers.

There’s also a 1958 Austin Healey 100/6 BN-4, estimated to sell for between R320 000 and R350 000, a fine example of a vehicle notable for durability and power. The well known three-litre was originally supplied with extra rear seating to accommodate a sporting family Sunday drive.
