H&H
A staggering number of classic cars will be on sale at H&H Classics 30th Anniversary auction tomorrow, with almost £10million worth of vehicles on show.
More than 200 lots will be on offer including classic, collector and performance cars, a share in a flying boat, desirable number plates and a celebrity-owned boat.
Lot 477 is the most expensive vehicle with an estimate of between £380,000 to £450,000 for a 1928 Bentley ‘Le Mans’ Style Tourer.
The stunning Bentley is one of just 699 4.5 litre models manufactured, with the vehicle having an extensive restoration in the 1990s to bring the vehicle back to a very high standard.

Even more recent classics are available to buy, with a 2013 Mini John Cooper Works GP expected to fetch between £18,000 and £22,000.
Classic Americana is on display including a 1968 Shelby GT500 Fastback and a 1970 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 formerly owned by Eastenders legend Nicholas Ball.

“Whether they’ve trusted us with the sale of their motorcar, scooter or motorcycle, bid at one of our hundreds of auctions, or simply attended one of our sales to admire the lots on offer, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone.
“The first 30 years have been a fantastic journey and we very much look forward to our next chapter!”
