CarFest auction set to be a ‘classic’

Thu, Jul 25, 2013 17:30 CET

40 amazing cars spanning more than 80 years in age are set to find new homes at this year’s CarFest North ‘Pride & Joy’ classic car auction. The sale, hosted by Silverstone Auctions, takes place on Sunday 4th August at Oulton Park in Cheshire and includes offerings from a host of the world’s finest car manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, Jaguar, Lotus, Morgan and Porsche. Last year’s CarFest auctions raised more than £90,000 for BBC Children in Need and the charity is once again set to gain greatly from the event with dozens of charity lots also going under the

A Mini once owned by radio DJ and TV presenter Chris Evans is aiming to raise pots of money for BBC Children in Need when it is auctioned at CarFest by Silverstone Auctions. As well as having a celebrity ex-owner, this 1964 Austin Mini Mk I has been built to Cooper specification and is estimated at just £6,000 to £8,000. It will go under the hammer at CarFest North on Sunday 4th August at Oulton Park, Cheshire. Nick Whale, managing director, Silverstone Auctions, said: “It’s a lovely little car in its own right, but this 1964 Austin Mini has the added attraction of once being the

Following last year’s hugely successful inaugural CarFest events which raised nearly £1million for the BBC’s Children in Need appeal, including £90,000 from two classic car auctions hosted by Silverstone Auctions, the team will once again be holding two sales at this year’s CarFest events. Despite being months away, the first charity lot has already been consigned – a truly stunning 1973 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 Roadster, which has been fully rebuilt at a cost of more than £100,000 by renowned marque specialists Vicarage Ltd. Amazingly, the entire proceeds from the sale of this beautiful

Family ‘friend’ up for auction

If one car sums up the spirit of the ‘Pride & Joy’ charity car auction at CarFest then surely it’s a 1975 MGB GT Jubilee which has been owned by the same family nearly 40 years. Originally bought in 1975, some 11 years later it was presented by the original owner to his son as a 21st birthday present, but only after it had been given a full re-spray in honour of the occasion. Nick Whale, managing director, Silverstone Auctions, said: “This is the first time that this car has been offered for sale since it left the showroom some 37 years ago and not surprisingly it comes with an

Possibly one of the most desirable lots at CarFest South – a 1964 VW Spilt Screen Dormobile Campervan - will be auctioned with ALL the sale proceeds going to BBC Children in Need. Silverstone Auctions, which is hosting the ‘Pride & Joy’ sale, will also donate the seller’s commission and buyer’s premium for this particular lot. “Our thanks go to the vendor, Malcolm Railson, who has generously agreed to donate all of the sale proceeds from this fantastic camper to help Chris Evans raise as much money as possible for BBC Children in Need,” said Nick Whale, managing director, Silverstone
