Richard Hudson-Evans says, Only eight vehicles failed to sell during a recession-beating afternoon in Yorkshire where 91 per cent of lots changed hands, reports Richard Hudson-Evans. A very large crowd of enthusiasts attending this annual Bonhams fixture at the Great Yorkshire Showground spent over £1,000,000 on classic cars, bikes and trucks and automobilia to provide a timely confidence booster to the collector vehicle market.
The entire Lichfield Collection - an extraordinary 21 vehicle cache of pre-war Rolls-Royces for restoration and already restored historic commercials plus a clutch of old motorcycles - completely sold out. The Lichfield results were headed by the £63,100 invested in a 1921 Silver Ghost with Mann Egerton Saloon coachwork and the £49,900 paid for a 1938 Phantom III Park Ward Sports Limousine. From the same source, a 1930 Phantom II Hooper-bodied Limo raised £29,900, a 1925 20hp Hooper Saloon and a 1931 Lagonda 3-Litre Low Chassis Saloon made £27,600 apiece, and a 1926 20hp Doctor’s Coupe sold for £22,138.
Amongst other sale entries, a 1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Tourer cost £42,200 and a 1952 Humber Pullman Mk III Shooting Brake £27,600. Much pre-sale international interest in an extremely rare Cadillac V8 powered 1953 Allard Safari ‘Woody’ Estate in mid-renovation resulted in a £17,825 valuation here, nearly £8000 more than the guide price.
