Will be interested what this does to values of cars, or even to the rates of restoration businesses!

9 Facel Vegas!
Some lancia, aston, Lambourghini
Some very rare cars listed. A very exciting auction!

[BananaFama]

Some beautiful cars in that list ,many Italian fairly rare stuff and a Moretti .

[T70RPM]

Wow!
Got to love people who have this level of eccentricity

[Puddenchucker]

I'd love to spend a couple of hours exploring that lot.

[matrignano]

How do you lose 230 cars!?

+1 Me too

[Fessia fancier]

I really appreciate his taste in cars!

[a8hex]

I'm assuming there are some typos in this list otherwise I'd be really interested in
103 - Jaguar XJ8 Convertible 1998

The year on #88 seems a little suspect too, did they really make any in 1943?

[WyrleyD]

Some other rarities are Triumph TR3B and the Maserati Frua, wonder what condition the Jaguar XK150 is in.

[Alex Z]

A few more normal cars like a Peugeot 504 convertible alongside all the exotic stuff. A fabulous collection to build up.

The lots are showing on their site now. Not sure how accurate the reserves are.

[Chimune]

Why do a lot of them look smoke damaged?

I assumed that was the minimum bid?

Amazing collection…I wonder what pricing levels will be…

I thought the figure on the first page was the reserve price, but in each description they give an estimate range which I didn't pick up on first time. In any event the estimates seem keen

A very diverse collection! Everything from DAFs to Italian exotica. Some of the cars there could be Mille Miglia eligible.

Because there actually was a fire in the warehouse.

[GTRene]

they now have those cars online at classic cars

An amazing collection of cars, but I have to keep reminding myself of my mantra: buying the wreck is the easy bit...

[dudleybloke]

Wow, there's some serious cars there.

Very true Bob. As we both know, turning the wreck back into a functioning car can become a long term undertaking!

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the Monica yet. There are some real rarities in the collection, but the Monica with its Ted Martin V8 and Vignale body is unique in the real sense of the word...there isn't another! In fact, the car isn't really a Monica, it was always badged as a Deep Sanderson, the brand name Chris Lawrence used for all his creations.
