On May 13, more than 75 collector cars with intangible value will be hitting the auction block at Silverstone Auctions’ May Sale. The auction takes place in Northamptonshire, England – an annual event that draws attention from collector car enthusiasts around the world. In this year’s sale, car enthusiasts will find some of the most unique vehicles on the market, likely not to be seen for sale again any time soon.
Featured in the event is a Bentley owned by Sir Ray Davies of the Kinks. First registered on March 2nd, 1960, this Bentley was purchased by Davies in 1970. The vehicle was used in a photo shoot for the “Preservation” album, the footage of which still exists today. This car is a Bentley S2 with an 6.2 liter, 8-cylinder engine, and carries a price estimate of £25,000 – £30,000, a steal for fans of Davies and The Kinks.
