My Market Picks

As we have just passed the midway point in the year the market is still offering up tempting historic motors. It still seems to be a buyer's market but my personal feeling is it's beginning to pick up. It still shocks me though that sellers are prepared to offer their beautiful cars 'without reserve'. Good news for potential buyers though...

1934 Alfa Romeo Monza recreation £600 - £800,000

1951 Jaguar XK120 £40 - £60,000

1957 AC Aceca Bristol £90 - £130,000

1961 Lotus Elite Series 2 £70 - £110,000
