The NEC Classic Motor Show Sale 12th to 13th November 2016
http://www.silverstoneauctions.com/catalogues/nec-classic-motor-show-sale-2016
We’re delighted to return to the NEC for our fifth sale at the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show. This weekend’s two-day sale promises to see 2016 off with a bang. With more than 70,000 visitors set to attend, this show really is one of the highlights of our calendar. It’s always a fantastic event and is getting bigger and better every year.
I and the team at Silverstone Auctions look forward to an equally exciting and successful 2017, and with details of next year’s sales now available, please speak to us if you’re looking to sell.
So what of the current classic car market? The last 12 months have seen some potential challenges for the wider market, however the results from our most recent sales prove that the best cars will always appeal. Original UK, right-hand drive cars with good provenance continue to be in demand. Post-referendum we have seen that it is cheaper for European and US buyers to purchase cars from the UK so that’s a positive. However, the classic car market has always been, and is increasingly, an enthusiast-led market, and there’s no reason for the levels of enthusiasm to change. People have relatively few other good investment options at this time and if you are an enthusiast who has some cash in the bank, why not indulge in your dream classic?
With that and this weekend’s sale, there’s an eclectic offering of over 120 classic and modern sports cars and several historic motorcycles spanning some 89 years available for you to take home. At Silverstone Auctions we pride ourselves on bringing together ‘best of breed’ cars to auction and we hope you agree that the vehicles on offer do this justice.
Our team is on hand to provide even more insight into the cars on offer, with dedicated staff able to expertly guide you through the history files. If you have any queries or require any assistance please don’t hesitate to speak to a member of the team who will be more than happy to assist you.
Once again, I’d like to thank you for joining us, and we look forward to seeing you in the New Year with our first sale taking place at Race Retro in February.
Happy Bidding!

SIX OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE PERSONAL REGISTRATIONS IN THE UK
1. SIX OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE
PERSONAL REGISTRATIONS
IN THE UK
2. While many personalised registrations are affordable luxury items, some are really
rather expensive – perhaps even more costly than a new car! Here are six of the
country’s most expensive registrations…
INTRODUCTION
3. 25 O
The priciest plate sold by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency was 25 O, fetching a
cool £400,000 in 2014 (£518,000 after VAT and buyer’s premium!). The proud owner,
Mr John Collins, clearly thought it was perfect for his Ferrari 250.
4. F 1
F1 was purchased by entrepreneur Afzal Khan in 2008 for a princely sum of £440,625.
The owner, who assigned it to his Mercedes SLR McLaren, later turned down an offer
of £6 million! It is currently advertised for sale with some companies for over 12
million!
5. S 1
S1 is believed to be Scotland’s first number plate, which goes some way towards
explaining its Skye-high price of £397,500 in 2008. The new owner declared it would be
going on an old red Skoda!
6. VIP 1
The VIP 1 model was sold at a price of £285,000 and is owned by the Russian billionaire
Roman Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea FC. It was initially intended to be placed on
the Popemobile for John Paul II’s visit to Ireland but it was finally snapped up by Roman
Abramovich in 2006.
7. 1 RH
This registration was bought at auction by Robert Harverson in 2006 for £250,000 –
almost 30 times more than its original price! It is currently assigned to a Mercedes
SL63 sports car.
8. 1 0
This minimalistic plate was purchased in Northamptonshire in 2009 and had a price tag
of £210,000. This plate really proved the fact that “less is indeed more.”
9. DESIGNED AND COMPILED BY:
