Silverstone Auctions Autosport International Sales

​We allocated time to visit and take photos at the Silverstone Auction as soon as we got to Autosport International & Performance Car Show as one of our priorities for the day.
This year, Silverstone Auctions again gathered together a great selection of mainly motorsport specific cars along with several others of special interest.
The cars were not only well presented but covered quite a history of vehicles from 1935 to 2015.
51 vehicles were included with 31 selling for a total of £2,396,596 and a couple more likely to sell.
They ranged from £9,450 for a 1972 MGB GT to £200,250 for a Ferrari 365 GT 2+2.
The auction didn’t just include vehicles but also lots of memorabilia and watches.
