Motoring anglophiles will want to check out the upcoming Barons’ auction at the Sandown Park horse racing track in Surrey, England. The auction house has a pair of rare classic coupes crossing the block in what looks like splendid condition and with exceptionally low mileage.
First up is a 1963 Bentley Continental Coupe by Mulliner. One of only 11 built (and one of eight right-hand drive models), the Mulliner coupe is reportedly in as-new condition with just 91,000 miles on the odometer, only 3,000 of which have been put on in the last 15 years. It’s expected to fetch between £90,000 and £125,000 (5k to 200k) when it goes up for grabs on October 26.
Barons’ is also following up former Aston Martin chief David Brown’s DB2/4 MkIII, which it sold last month for more than twice its top estimate at £207,000 (0k), with another rare Aston: a 1953 DB2/4 MkI purchased new by an elderly doctor who barely ever drove it. It was mostly unused until its current owner bought and restored it. Only 11,000 miles have been put on the car overthe past 57 years, with presale estimates putting it in the same ballpark as the aforementioned Bentley.
There’s more to read about in the press release after the jump, including a Jaguar E-Type, a Rolls-Royce, a ’34 Talbot and a Ford GT40, so check it out.
