September 2020 - UK auction previews
14 September, 2020
Classic Car Auctions are set to host a 234-car sale on 18-19 September, with a Porsche 911 S heading the catalogue (estimate £70,000 – 90,000). First registered in 1971, the UK-delivered 911 was purchased by the consignor in 1986 and has covered less than 500 miles since being recommissioned in 2015. CCA has flagged a recently developed engine noise and reduced the reserve to reflect the need for further investigation.
European machinery dominates the top end of the inventory, a two-owner 21,000-mile 1987 Ferrari 328 GTS in triple black is listed at £65,000 – 75,000; a 1991 Audi Quattro Turbo, one of the final 50 produced, is £60,000 – 70,000; and a left-hand drive 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera showing 41,300km – originally black but now vinyl-wrapped in Verde Ithaca – which resided in a private collection in Dubai, prior to import into the UK in 2015, is £50,000 – 60,000.

A 1906 Darracq Type R 10/12 is among seven Veteran Cars due to cross the block at Richard Edmonds’ 19 September sale. Little is known of the car’s early history prior to the mid ‘50s, but by 1974 it was part of the renowned Jimmy Boland collection in Ireland, before being imported into the UK and purchased by the vendor’s late father in 2016 (estimate £35,000 – 40,000).
