The Classic Sale is the second part of Iconic Auctioneers’ two-day spectacular at Brimingham’s NEC on November 15

Over 130 cars have been entered in Iconic Auctioneers’ Classic Sale, with a greater emphasis on more affordable ‘everyman’ cars than on the previous day.

Those looking for a low-mileage classic will have plenty to choose from. A 2001 Ford Mondeo ST200 Saloon that shows just 12,786 miles could go for as much as £15,000, while a 1985 Bentley Turbo R that’s covered just 19,100 miles is guided at £20,000-£24,000. Continuing the ’80s theme is a left-hand drive, Phase 1 Peugeot 309 GTi with less than 24,000 miles from new, which is expected to fetch £12,000-£15,000, along with a 1988 Toyota MR2 indicating just 25,616 miles, which is guided at £14,000-£18,000. Rather humbler is a 1986 Vauxhall Nova Merit 1.2, which has covered just 6148 miles and is estimated at £4000-£6000.

The 1980s hits don’t end there. A 1984 Opel Monza GSE that’s covered under 50,000 miles is predicted to sell for £8000-£10,000, and a 1989 MG Metro Turbo restored to award-winning condition could net its vendor up to £15,000. We also rather like a 1986 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 that’s estimated at £14,000-£18,000, plus a real rarity in the shape of a 1985 Renault Fuego GTS, which is offered with no reserve.

Fans of Ford Capris are especially well catered-for, with at least five examples set to go under the hammer. A 1986 2.8 Injection Special with the X-Pack bodykit and a period Turbo Technics conversion is perhaps the most striking, and is estimated at £16,000-£20,000. It joins another 2.8 Injection registered late on a E-prefix, along with a 1986 280. Earlier cars, meanwhile, include a 1973 Mk1 GT XLR with the 2.0-litre V4 motor, which is guided at £24,000-£28,000, plus a 3.0 GXL from the same year, which is estimated at £28,000-£32,000.

Elsewhere you’ll find a Crayford Mk3 Cortina, plus a couple of Lotus Esprit garage finds, one a 1982 S3 showing 23,048 miles that’s guided at £12,000-£15,000, the other an early 1976 S1 with 25,894 miles, estimated at £25,000-£30,000.

More modern performance heroes, meanwhile, include a 1995 Volvo 850 T-5R saloon guided at £14,000-£18,000 and a 2008 Jaguar XJR (X358), which is expected to fetch £18,000-£22,000. Completing a trio is a 1995 Audi RS2 Avant, which carries a tempting £20,000-£25,000 estimate.

With other entries including the genuine Reliant Regal Supervan III from the first two series of Only Fools and Horses, a 2004 Maybach 57, a 1200-mile Ford Transit and a 1961 Volvo Amazon ‘Rainbow Chaser III’ customised by Andy Saunders, this is a sale to suit all tastes.

One of two Lotus Esprit garage finds, this S1 is a very early car dating from the launch year of 1976. Presented in bold Signal Red and compete with its factory interior in Brown and Oatmeal Marcasite cloth, it shows just 25,894 miles and is expected to sell for £25,000-£30,000.
One of the last 02-series cars built, this 1977 BMW 1502 is presented in exceptional, unrestored and highly original condition, having covered just 40,200 miles from new. It’s a UK-supplied car that was kept by the same owner for 44 years, and is estimated at £16,000-£18,000.
At least five Ford Capris will be in the sale, including this Ford Capri 2.8 Injection, which is one of the final cars to be registered and wears a 1987 E-prefix. Benefitting from long-term Ford enthusiast ownership and showing just 60,869 miles, it’s guided at £25,000-£30,000.
A rare post-facelift car, this 1976 Ford Cortina Mk3 2000 GT boasts the rarely seen Crayford Sunshine Conversion and was previously subject to a six-year restoration. Also fitted with a five-speed gearbox, the car is guided at £12,000-£15,000.

One of the humbler cars in the sale is this 1986 Vauxhall Nova Merit 1.2, described as a time-warp example and showing just 6148 miles. Still wearing its supplying dealer’s window sticker and numberplates, it’s expected to sell for £4000-£6000 but is ultimately offered without reserve.
