Almost 100 lots are set to go under the hammer when Morris Leslie hosts its next classic car and memorabilia auction on Saturday, May 13.

As usual, the sale offers plenty of variety, with various projects, traditional marques, modern performance classics and prestige brands all included – many with very tempting estimates.

Starting with the established classics, you’ll find a at least three MG Midgets, plus two MGBs and a 54,000-mile MGF, all with guide prices below £5000. A 1991 Mini City that’s covered just 11,949 miles is also bound to attract interest, and there will be several Morris Minors including a 1970 car showing just 22,000 miles, plus an example of its pre-war namesake from 1931.

For those after something a little posher, a very smart 1955 Riley RME is joined by a Daimler V8 250 at an estimated £14,000-£16,0000, plus a 1968 Jaguar 240 that’s expected to sell for £8000-£10,000. There’s a more rugged element to the sale, too, with a quartet of Land Rovers that features a very late SWB Series 3 showing a mere 31,674 miles.

It’s a good sale for fans of 1990s performance saloons too. A 1998 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V carries an attractive £12,000-£14,000 guide, and there are two contemporary Subaru Impreza rivals, both of which could crack the £25,000 barrier. German contenders include a pair of Audi S4s, and there’s a BMW E36 M3 Evolution from 1996, too. If you fancy an older Bavarian bahnstormer, there’s a 1986 E30 325i and a 1984 635CSi, with the latter expected to fetch £18,000-£20,000. You’ll also find a wide selection of Mercedes, with the pick of the bunch a 1985 500SEC estimated at £10,000-£12,000. At the very top of the tree, meanwhile, is likely to be a 1979 Porsche 911 that carries a guide price of £50,000-£55,000.

With other lots including not one but two low-mileage 1.4-litre Ford Pumas and some great starter classics including a 40,000-mile Peugeot 205 Mardi Gras and a 28,000-mile Volvo 340 dating from 1988, there’s bound to be a classic to suit all tastes.

  • First registered in Wellington, New Zealand, this 1986 BMW E30 was marketed as the M325i and has a similar specification to the UK 325i Sport. The car arrived in the UK during 1999, and is MoT’d into 2024. It’s estimated at £7000-£8000.
  • Registered in 1969, this restored Daimler 250 V8 is one of the final cars produced and benefits from power steering. It looks great in its original Ascot Fawn hue with a red leather interior and is set to command £14,000-£16,000.
  • A post-facelift example dating from 1954, this Mk1 Ford Consul was restored in the mid-2000s, when its colour was changed from grey to beige over green. It comes with plenty of paperwork and is estimated at a tantalising £6000-£7000.
  • Joining a large selection of Mercedes is this 1985 500 SEC automatic, which has spent most of its life in the south of England and was in storage from 2002 until 2012. It shows 122,074 miles and carries a guide price of £10,000-£12,000.
  • This rare MO-series Morris Oxford Traveller dating from 1953 combines classic, original looks with a more practical 1.8-litre B-Series engine in place of the factory sidevalve unit. Kept by the vendor’s late father for 37 years, it’s expected to sell for £9000-£10,000.
  • This very attractive 1954 Riley RME has been in the hands of the vendor for almost 33 years and retains its original West Sussex registration number. It’s expected to sell for £6000-£7000.
