The sale also features a 1960 Lotus Elite S2, road registered in 1968 and complete with every MOT certificate since its first in ‘71 (estimate £45,000 – 55,000); a concours-winning 1969 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupe that was the subject of a three year restoration in 2014 (estimate £80,000 – 100,000); and a 1960 Cooper Type 51 which was campaigned in period by Gérard Laureau at F1 and F2 races including the 1960 Solitude GP (estimate £90,000 – 100,000).
A 1962 Austin Mini Cooper, imported into the UK from South Africa in 2018, is set to cross the block at Mathewsons on 1 June with a pre-sale estimate of £20,000-plus; while a 1960 Austin Mini that has remained in single family ownership from new is listed with an estimate in excess of £15,000.
Barons will offer a 1997 Ferrari F355 GTS at their 4 June sale (estimate £42,000 – 48,000). The 90,000-mile example is a three-owner car in right-hand drive, with a 6-speed manual transmission.
