Anglia Car Auctions returns to classic action across the weekend of August 30-31 with one of its richest two-day schedules to date

Around 275 classic cars are set to go under the hammer at ACA’s next sale, with automobilia included on Saturday, plus classic motorcycles on Sunday.

From nostalgic city-runabouts to rare grand tourers and iconic sports cars, the catalogue includes something for everyone. There are some interesting lesser-spotted German models from the early ’60s, with a 1961 Borgward P100 estimated at £12,000-£15,000 joined by a 1961 DKW F11 Junior from the same year, which is a rare right-hand drive example guided at £6000-£8000. Meanwhile, you’ll find a quartet of BMWs including a 1999 Z3M Coupe that could fetch £25,000, and at least 13 Mercedes-Benz are poised to go under the hammer too. –

France is also well represented with some real rarities. A Peugeot 309 GTI from 1991 is guided at £6000-£8000, with a 1991 205 Gentry estimated at £6000-£8000 and a 1989 205 XS offered with no reserve. There’s also a humble Renault 11 TL with no reserve, as well as a Fuego Turbo. We can’t remember the last time we saw one, making the £2750-£3750 estimate look very tempting.

As for Italian classics, you’ll find several of those too. A 1969 Fiat 124 Sport could be yours for a predicted £7000-£9000, with a 1979 X1/9 that’s seemingly in superb order guided at £10,000-£15,000. There’s also room for not but two Lancia Beta Spiders.

Naturally, there are plenty of traditional Brits on offer. At least seven Morris Minors will go under the hammer – four of them Travellers – as will a Mk2 Mini Cooper S estimated at a very attractive £20,000-£25,000. A whopping 17 Rovers spanning the generations are listed too, and there are numerous British Fords, with a host of early Cortinas including two rare Mk2 Estates.

Meanwhile, there seems to a run on base model Blue Ovals from the early ’90s, with a 1991 Mk5 Escort L joined by a 1990 Fiesta Bonus. Skipping forward, a 2002 Fiesta Flight that’s covered just 235 miles is guided at £8000-£10,000, and a 2001 Ford Focus Zetec with only 2237 miles showing is estimated at £3750-£4750.

With further lots including a modified Toyota Hi-Lux, an Aston Martin DBS 6, various commercials, a Smart Crossblade and a bright orange Mini Moke, we’re expected a busy couple of days in Norfolk. For the full catalogue see angliacarauctions.co.uk

  • Dating from 1972, this Datsun 240Z was imported from California in 2013, and UK-registered in November 2020. It was restored and repainted in the interim and now features numerous upgrades. Estimated at £28,000-£32,000, it even comes with original bill of sale showing that the original owner was apparently called Batman!
  • This DKW F11 Junior Deluxe is an original right-hand drive UK car, first registered in July 1961. It was reportedly fully restored to a high standard several years ago by marque expert Tim Bishop and still looks very smart, justifying a £6000-£8000 guide price
  • One of several Fiats in the sale, this very tidy Fiat 124 Sport is resplendent in red with a black interior and was imported to the UK from Italy in 2021. The car has been subject to much recent expenditure and is now expected to change hands for £7000-£8000
  • It’s difficult to know which Ford to highlight from this sale, as there are plenty of worthy contenders from mild to wild. But how about this 2002 Ford Fiesta Flight, which has covered just 235 miles from new? It’s basically as-new, and is estimated at £8000-£12,000
  • Reckoned to be one of only five surviving examples of the coveted 132bhp Turbo model still on the road in the UK, this 1985 Renault Fuego comes with a significant collection of receipts going back to the 1980s. It’s MoT’d until next April and is guided at £2750-£3750
  • In among the many Minis is this smart 1972 Pick-up, resplendent in Teal Blue. It shows 43,217 miles and is MoT’d until next July, despite being exempt. At an estimated £12,000-£14,000, it’s bound to attract attention
  • The oldest vehicle in the sale is this 1924 Swift Q-type 10HP Tourer, which is a matching numbers example despite being over a century old. Made in Coventry, it reportedly had a mechanical restoration in 2002, plus four new tyres in 2022. It’s estimated at £7000-£8000
  • This rare 1983 Volvo 360 GLS has only covered 14,516 miles from new and was bought by the vendor in 1989. The car will need recommissioning because the last MoT expired in 2017, but does run and drive (with help from a booster pack). It’s guided at £2500-£3500
