Our 10 favourites from Silverstone Auctions’ annual May Sale

Our 10 favourites from Silverstone Auctions’ annual May Sale

At Silverstone Auctions’ annual May Sale, taking place on 20 May at the Silverstone circuit, a broad mix of classic and modern collector cars will be offered, to suit every budget. We’ve selected our favourites…

You know an auction catalogue is diverse when you go from a 2015 Bowler EXR-S (est. £95,000-115,000) to a rare right-hand-drive 1962 Maserati Sebring (£180,000-220,000) in just a few pages, and that essentially sums up Silverstone Auctions’ May Sale. 

Elsewhere, we were reminded of the sheer beauty of the Aston Martin DB9 – this low-mileage (30,000 miles) 2005 example nods to its illustrious forebears in the retro shade of ‘California Shade’, and is estimated to fetch just £30,000-40,000. That’s impressive when you consider the car cost over £120,000 new, just 11 years ago. For those who prefer their Astons older, the ‘barn-find’ 1968 DBS could be a snip at £50,000-60,000 – given you’re brave, patient (and wealthy) enough to undertake a full restoration to its former glory, that is. You can find the rest of the catalogue for Silverstone Auctions’ May Sale listed in the Classic Driver Market.
