The CCA October sale is set to be one of the highest quality sales with £1.7 million worth of cars consigned and takes place at the Warwickshire Event Centre on the 5th October.
Three superb Triumphs feature in the sale as well as beautifully restored 1964 Austin Healey 3000 MKIII, a 1970 Rover P5B 3.5 Coupe and a rare 1976 manual Jaguar XJC 4.2 from a museum collection.
Gary Dunne, Classic Car Auctions auction manager commented: “We have a wonderful sale coming up in a couple of weeks and have some really high-quality cars consigned.”
“We are very proud of what we have in our catalogue, over £1.7 million worth of cars and again of great variety, so there will undoubtedly be something there for everyone.”
“The following cars are some of the standouts in the sale and will attract lots of interest.”
The first of the three Triumphs is a fabulous looking 1958 TR3A in a glorious Signal Red and has been with the current owner for the last 43 years and formed part of his private collection. What’s more, it has had just two owners and retains its original registration number 492 EVK. Staggeringly the car has done only 13,000 miles since 1976 and after an extensive 30-month restoration the TR3A went on to win its first Concours in 1979. The project was documented in Practical Classics Magazine in 1980 and a copy is supplied with the car along with other documentation. Estimated at £28,000 to £32,000 this is an outstanding car in amazing condition and available for the first time in 43 years.
Our second Triumph is a 1968 TR250 which is the US-specification of the TR5 which are now becoming a difficult car to acquire and with prices on the increase. This TR250 is a superb car and a great option when purchasing one of these British classics. Converted to right-hand drive as part of a painstaking chassis up rebuild, this TR250 has had a huge amount of work carried out from engine rebuild, the fitting of the coveted overdrive gearbox, bare metal re-spray as well as new external trim. At an estimated £34,000 to £38,000 this is an ideal opportunity to acquire a superb and possibly a best of breed contender.
The third Triumph is the classic wedge that can only be the TR7. This 1981 car is such a rarity and quite possibly a one-off as it is a one-owner car with 24,000 miles from new. Estimated at £9,000 to £11,000 with a complete and comprehensive history file, original owners document wallet and the jack still in the factory bag, what a superb car this is and one of the best examples.
Also featured in the sale are three further great examples of British classics. A 1964 Austin Healey 3000 MkIII which was originally sold to North America and returned to the UK in 1991. This Healey underwent restoration a few years ago to a superb standard and is finished in black with a red leather interior. The car is currently de-bumpered but the originals are supplied with the car. Estimated at £40,000 to £50,000 with a detailed history and a Heritage Trust Certificate, this is a well-restored and great looking classic.
The next of our British classics is a 1970 Rover P5B 3.5 Coupe in Rover White with a black roof and sumptuous black hide interior. Five years ago, the car was fully restored and documented using original new and old stock genuine Rover parts. The interior was brought back to life and all the chrome was renewed. Estimated at £20,000 to £25,000 this is a lovely car and quite possibly one of the best available on today’s market.
This 1976 Jaguar XJC 4.2 is very rare as it this manual version and we believe less than 200 of these cars were made. An exceptionally elegant looking car with a fantastic service history, this car formed part of a museum collection for the last ten years and is mostly in its original condition. Estimated at £25,000 to £30,000 with a Heritage Certificate and freshly recommissioned, including a new MOT, what a superb car this would be to own.
