A 1962 Series 1 E-Type roadster took the lead at Barons’ sale at Sandown Park on 15th June. The steel blue machine sold for just under £52,000, surpassing its estimate. In second place was a 2002 Dax 427 (AC Cobra replica), which achieved £33,650, followed by another Series 1 E-type – this time a 1964 fixed head coupé (£20,130).
The E-Type roadster was secured after a bidding battle in the hall, and the Dax was sold to a commission bid, which had been submitted on the Monday after the buyer had viewed the car.
Barons’ MD, Laurence Sayers-Gillan said: 'This was quite a busy sale, with cars spanning nine decades on offer, and there was some enthusiastic bidding for cars of all ages. Both the E-Type roadster and the Dax were exceptional examples, which reinforces the message that good cars will always find ready buyers and achieve good prices.'
Other interesting cars which found new owners at Sandown Park included a charming 1929 Chrysler 65 Roadster (£12,750), a rare 1984 Audi Quattro UR Treser (£11,745) and an even rarer 1967 Honda S800 Coupe (£9620).
