The star sale of the latest Barons’ event at Sandown Park saw a rare 1963 Bentley Continental two door coupe go for £159,000 in the auction.

The event on October 26th was classed as the second-best sale in the 12 years since the car auction was founded by Laurence Sayers-Gillan.

The Bentley designed by Mulliner is one of just eight examples built with car parts enabling right hand drive configuration and one of only 11 in total.

Additionally, a pair of Jaguar E-type FHC’s went for an impressive £31,860 for the 1969 Series Two while the 1967 Series One 4.2 went for £53,000.  Seven out of 10 of the top cars represented at the show were Jaguars.

“This was an excellent result and was not only significant for the sale of the Bentley,” said Laurence Sayers-Gillan, Barons’ managing director.

“We now look forward to our popular annual Yuletide Classic sale at Sandown Park on December 7th.

“This is already looking good with some very tasty consignments.”

A Saab Sonnet II V4 was sold for a healthy £9,790 of which auctioneer Fabian Hine admitted in his 37 year career he had never offered such a car while most auction goers had never even seen one.

Other sales included a 1953 Oldsmobile 98 Sedan which went for £14,539, a 1969 Chevrolet (GM) Camaro SS Coupe which went for £8,951 and a 1972 Mercedes 280SE which went for £6,158.

The annual Yuletide Classic sale at Sandown Park will see a SSI Tourer, an Aston Martin DBS 6 with ZF manual box, and a rare Lotus Cortina SE MKI being auctioned.
