A multiple record-breaking Rover 220 Coupé Turbo ‘Tomcat’ is heading to auction on Sunday 10 May.
The H&H Classics sales sees the 1992 Rover heading back to Millbrook Proving Ground for the sale, which is where it set 37 UK land speed records.
Thirty six of those records still stand, including the 24-hour world endurance land speed record set at 138mph.
For the record attempt, the Rover was pared back to the minimum with a bare shell, plus other alterations such as a large capacity fuel tank, roll cage, fire extinguisher, and racing seat.
Chris Wardley, motor car specialist at H&H Classics, said: ‘There couldn’t be a more fitting venue than Millbrook Proving Ground for the auction of this incredible UK land speed record holding car where it made history.
‘It will be a very special occasion on Sunday 10 May, and we expect strong bidding from Rover enthusiasts and collectors, plus those wishing to acquire an important piece of automotive history.’
