WB & Sons is back in action on June 7, with well over 100 lots set to go under the hammer at its Newcastle base

At the next WB & Sons sale this weekend you’ll find everything from alluring no-reserve projects to a glamourous Jaguar E-Type. Stating with the projects, our attention is immediately drawn to a 1979 Fiat 127 Sport in orange, which shows just 17,000 miles and is said to quite solid under the years of garage-stored grime. Should you want something a bit more substantial, however, a 1990 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC is also offered without reserve, as is a 2003 S500 and a more modest 190E. For fans of British classics who like to get their hands dirty, a 1972 Mini 1000 and a 1969 Rover P5B could also prove to be tempting projects.

Want an up-and together Brit? There’s plenty of choice here. One of the oldest entries is a 1933 Alvis Firefly Sports Saloon, which carries an estimate of £16,000-£20,000, but there’s plenty of 1960s and ’70s metal too. A smart looking Morris Minor Traveller from 1971 looks tempting with its modest £4000-£5000 guide, while a tidy 1975 MGB roadster – presumably converted to chrome bumpers – carries an £8000-£9000 estimate. A 1968 Ford Corsair 2000E offers a classic Blue Oval for a potential £4000-£5000 outlay, while the aforementioned E-Type is a late Series 1 FHC example dating from 1967, and wears a £30,000-£35,000 guide. In addition, you’ll also find a 1968 Daimler Sovereign, and a couple of Land Rovers: one a smart Series 2A guided at £9000-£11,000, the other a late Series 3 estimated at £5000-£6000.

Moving forward in years, there are several interesting ’80s and ’90s classics, too, including a trio from 1989. A Volvo 240 GLT shows just 52,000 miles and is expected to command £7000-£9000, while an E30 318i of the same vintage is one of nine BMWs in the sale, and is estimated at £7000-£8000. Completing the three is a 22,000-mile Honda Civic, which looks attractively guided at £2000-£3000. Elsewhere, we also rather like a 1997 Citroën Xantia Activa Turbo, which is guided at £3000-£4000, and there’s a 1990 Toyota Celica GT-Four too, which looks good value should its £5000-£7000 estimate be realised. Another performance-orientated entry is a 1995 Jaguar XJR, predicted to sell for £4000-£5000.

With a host of emerging modern classics, memorabilia, bikes and more besides, this looks set to be another busy sale. For the full catalogue, see wbandsons.com
