A selection of pre-war cars will head up Iconic Auctions’ sale at the Classic Car Restoration Show on 21-22 March.
One of the highlights is a Brough Superior, with the 1935 4.2-litre Dual Purpose Drophead Coupé thought to be only one of five such cars built.
The Brough has an estimate of £22,000-£26,000, which makes the Hudson-based rarity very good value for such a low volume car with an interesting history and older restoration.
A brace of Rolls-Royces 25/30 models will also feature, with an Enclosed Limousine by Hooper estimated at just £8000-£10,000 despite being restored by a previous owner.
The 1937 Rolls-Royce 25/30 Sedanca de Ville by HJ Mulliner has an estimate of £10,000-£12,000 and is also remarkable value for a car in excellent condition long after its restoration in the late 1980s.
Stronger money is expected for a 1937 SS Jaguar 2½ Litre Sports Saloon that was restored in the early 1990s and remains in fine shape.
A 1926 Austin Seven Chummy proves the enduring appeal of these small cars as it comes with an estimate of £12,000-£15,000 and comes from long-term ownership in fine fettle.
More pre-war cars in the Iconic catalogue include a 1921 Swift 12HP (£4000-£6000), 1926 Clyno 11HP Four-Seat Tourer (£5000-£8000), and a 1924 Morris Cowley Bullnose 13.9HP Tourer (£5000-£8000).
Rob Hubbard, Managing Director and Principal Auctioneer at Iconic Auctioneers, said: ‘The golden age of motoring produced cars of real character, from refined Rolls-Royce limousines to usable light cars such as the Austin Seven. This selection shows just how varied and accessible the pre-war market can be. Whether clients are seeking a rewarding project or a ready-to-enjoy example with history and provenance, there is something here to suit a wide range of collectors.’
