Featured lots in the sale include:
- 1971 Jaguar E-Type V12 Coupe: Soccer legend George Best took delivery of this brand new blue bombshell at the height of his fame, and drove the vehicle until 1974 when it was sold. The car carries an estimate of £40,000 – £60,000 ($61,000 – $91,000 USD).
- 1943 Sherman M4A1 Grizzly I Cruiser: This tank, designed in Canada in 1943 for use in WWII, was likely among the Cruisers used to train Canadian troops in England, rather than on the frontline based on its unscathed condition. As one of only 188 made, it is expected to fetch £150,000 – £200,000 ($228,000 – $30,500 USD).
- 1997 Subaru Impreza WRC 97: H&H Classics are excited to offer the first Subaru Impreza that Prodrive built to WRC specification, and which racing legend Colin McRae debuted on the 1997 Monte Carlo Rally in their October 14 Duxford auction. The estimate for the vehicle is £175,000 – £200,000. ($267,000 – $305,000 USD)
- 1956 BMW Rennsport RS 500 Type 256: At an estimated value of £160,000 – £180,000 ($244,000 – $275,000 USD) the Rennsport features a black and chrome design, exposed drive shaft, and 500 cc engine. This classic post-war model is in excellent condition, making it the perfect addition to any collection.
