Classic Car Collecting Prevails
There was worldwide interest in this latest Silverstone Auctions sale with 1,468 registered bidders from as far afield as America, Hong Kong, Dubai, as well as a lot of European interest. The sale total of £7.3 million came with a 75% sell rate.
Rob Hubbard, Sales Director of Silverstone Auctions, comments: “Given the tough economic situation the country currently finds itself in, this sale was a vote of confidence in classic car collecting. The international interest was the biggest we’ve seen with a strong presence of Europeans. As a result we had a good sell rate and some very satisfying new world and UK records achieved.”
