When the latest addition to the Classic Car Auction Results team walked (rolled) through the (garage) door we were genuinely the happiest team in existence. Patting each other on the back saying ‘haven’t we done well?’ and revelling in the Italian sportscar-ness of what we’d done, we mused about all of the adventures and auctions…

Ten minutes with Damian Jones of H&H Classics
Damian Jones, Sales Manager at H&H Classics, has a front-row seat to witness the various intricacies of the classic car market. We sat down with Damian at H&H’s recent Imperial War Museum Duxford sale to discuss the current shape of the market, to hear about his career highlights, and to muse on where it all might…
We buy a Fiat at auction!
It’s one thing to advise, but it’s an entirely different thing to act. At Classic Car Auction Results, we spend our days searching through auction listings and studying what enthusiast cars are actually selling for. However, over conversation one day it came out that few of us had ever actually bought a car at auction. We’d been…
Don’t let the Subaru WRX get away
Almost every car enthusiast has their own story of ‘the one that got away’. You know, the car that you should have/would have/could have bought when they were cheap and plentiful, but didn’t. And then twenty years later, you’re telling some friends in the pub about the time you passed on the Escort RS1800/240Z/Mini Cooper…
NEC Classic Motor Show Roundup – The Cars of Interest
There’s nothing quite like the NEC Classic Motor Show; with five halls packed full of over 2500 classic cars, clubs, traders and collectors, navigating its many pathways can almost be a little overwhelming. There’s just so much to see. On our travels at the event, we took note of a small handful of cars whose…
The Fiat Dino Coupe is a bud beginning to blossom. Act now before it is too late.
For too long the Fiat Dino has been an underground secret, kept private from the wider classic car world for the better part of the past two decades. It seems to have shirked the publicity afforded to its cousins at Ferrari and Maserati, and still remains a treat for the lucky few who are astute…
Bargain touring – a ’91 Mercedes R129 SL500 with potential
Every so often, a deal comes along that presents an opportunity almost too good to miss. This 1991 Mercedes-Benz SL500, currently for sale via online auction with The Market, might just be that car. This is not a pristine example of Mercedes’ luxury touring roadster, but with enough love and a little elbow grease, it…
Are Baur BMWs set to take over the auction house?
Historically it has always been the ‘ugly duckling’, quirky or obscure classics that tend to be a safe bet for making money in the car market. Many of history’s oddballs have typically been produced in low numbers or featured a design so unique that we only see their likes once in a lifetime. As such many of…
Low mileage fast Fords to star at Silvertone’s NEC sale
Silverstone Auctions have rounded up an impressive collection of extreme low mileage fast Fords, to be sold at their NEC Classic Motor Show sale on November 11-12. Affordable performance cars don’t typically have an easy life, and as a consequence there are often not many of the older ones around anymore. They get thrashed mercilessly,…
Stylish sleepers – the fastest subtle Mercedes you can buy
If you’ve always had a soft spot for Mercedes-Benz’s eighties DTM-honed small saloon, the 190E Cosworth, and had filed it away in that part of the brain which acts as a cerebral garage for all of your ‘one day’ cars, then a perusal of the current classifieds – and the prices now being asked –…
