Classic car buyers bid strongly

Even in the credit crunch, classic car enthusiasts continue to bid strongly at auction as BCA’s latest sale confirms. The company’s specialist ‘Classics from BCA’ department recorded another good result in its most recent sale held late last month at Blackbushe.

Top price on the day went to 1979 Ferrari 308 GTS which sold for £18,425. Finished in the classic colour of Rosso Corsa, this supercar had seen minimal use in recent years and had covered just 27,500 miles from new. 

The widely publicised 1996 Jaguar saloon owned by Pink Panther film star Herbert Lom was withdrawn due to a mechanical problem and has been re-entered for BCA’s next sale in October.
