The dear chap has other cars and steam engines in his collection but it appears it is those listed going under the hammer.

Kingsley was a genuine classic and vintage car enthusiast,, Recalling four years ago we wandered through his garages it struck me that he owned a lovely Ford Anglia 105E. This car seemed somehow out of place amongst some of his other cars, It transpired that the Anglia was his daughters chosen wedding car! Every car had a very special and personal attachment to Kingsley.
The Mercedes was parked up alongside with its battery conditioner attached, as were all of Kingsley's cars, turn key and go, try it for size he said. Off with my shoes, don't bother ,just get in, but I just had to respect Kingsley' and his car and climb in over the massive sill, settled into the drivers seat, magic!! ' what do you think' I think I'm in heaven! Sadly I was unable to have a drive on that day. A car in his ownership for decades, what a car it is.
Aside from the collection, and Bonham's are auctioning only part of a fantastic collection, Kingsley was a true Gentleman, first and foremost. I will miss him as will so many other enthusiasts.
