We always eagerly await the next WB & Sons sale catalogue, and the varied and eclectic line-up for the October 26 sale proves why

Classics for all tastes and budgets are in abundance at WB & Sons’ next sale, with close-on 100 entries at the time of writing and more to be included.

Those entries are headlined by a striking white 1992 Corvette C4 Coupe – the 15,000-mile slice of American muscle looks to be a very tidy example, sports a manual gearbox and could be yours for £10,000–14,000. Those with more modest tastes may fancy a 65,000-mile 1996 MGF with a temptingly low £800–1200 guide, while a 63,000-mile 2007 Mazda MX-5 ‘NC’ is expected to fetch just £2000–3000 and an imported 2005 Honda Integra Type R is estimated at £10,000–14,000. Porsche fans may be drawn to a sought-after 1994 968 Clubsport, with its magazine history and exemplary condition equating to an £18,000–22,000 estimate, while a pair of ‘996’ Porsche 911s includes a 2002 facelift Carrera 2 Cabriolet guided at £10,000–14,000.

There are a wide range for candidates for those preferring something luxurious, too. A 2002 Rover 75 in full-fat Connoisseur spec and with the lovely V6 engine is guided at just £1500–2500, while both a 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II and a 1981 example of its Silver Spirit successor carry no reserve, making them both tempting prospects. A very late 2005 example of the X100 Jaguar XK8 in coupe form looks superb on the 20-inch ‘Sepang’ wheels and carries a £6000–7000 estimate, and a 1998 X308 XJ8 looks a fruitful project for a predicted £1000–1500. For fans of older models, a 1965 Mk2 3.4 needs only minor reassembly and is guided at just £8000–10,000.   

There are plenty of family-friendly offerings too, from a 1982 Mercedes S123 200T that boasts seating for seven and is estimated £6500–7500, to a 2003 Subaru Impreza WRX STi that’ll certainly make the school run exciting and is guided at £14,000–16,000. Rather more sedate is a 1958 Standard Pennant estimated at £4000–5000, while the 1982 VW T25 Campervan allows you to go straight from school to a weekend getaway, all for a predicted £2500–3500.

With no-reserve projects including a 1987 BMW E28 520 and a 1954 Consul, plus a 1976 Mk2 Escort rolling shell with a £4500–5500 guide, this sale really does have something for everyone.

  • If your classic has to be practical, this 1982 Mercedes S123 200T should do the job. Boasting straight bodywork, original roof rails, a tidy interior and the rear jump-seat to take seating capacity to seven, it makes the perfect family-friendly classic and is guided at £6500–7500
  • This 1994 Porsche 968 is the sought-after track-prepped Clubsport model, one of just 36 left in Britain and in this case, boasting magazine feature history and a hefty history file. Three sets of keys and professional photographs from its magazine shoot complete the package, which is guided at £18,000–22,000
  • Offered without reserve, this 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II could be a bargain slice of classic luxury, especially given its modest 73,000 miles, stamped-up service book and recent recommissioning. Cure the gearbox oil leak, and enjoy the wafting
  • With just 19,000 miles on the clock, this very tidy looking 1982 Rover SD1 2000 is surely one of the lowest mileage examples left. Extremely smart inside and out, it carries a £7000–8000 guide
  • Showing just 29,000 miles, this 1973 Vauxhall Victor 2300 benefits from a reconditioned gearbox, new radiator and water pump, electronic ignition, a new exhaust system, clutch and carburettor, a reconditioned petrol tank, a fresh timing belt and four new tyres. It’s therefore ready to use for an estimated £3000–4000
  • This 1977 3.0-litre Capri Ghia in white is still quite the head-turner. The vendor advises many new mechanical parts, plus a new rear panel, rear wheel arches and quarter panels. It all adds up makes the £10,000–12,000 guide look very reasonable
  • This 1992 Corvette C4 Coupe has a meagre 15,000 miles to its name and looks striking in white. The nicely paired red leather interior is very tidy looking and helps earn the car a £10,000–14,000 estimate
  • You don’t see too many Fiat 128 Coupes at auction, and this 1973 example looks fantastic in orange. The arches will need some attention in the near future, but the original Speedline wheels look tremendous and the black trim is all-but unmarked. It’s estimated at £9000–11,000
