Just when we think we’ve seen it all at auction, WB & Sons prove us wrong. Here are some highlight to watch for at the September 14 sale
WB & Sons’ September 14 sale looks set to be a truly eclectic one, with everything from a Ferguson TE-20 tractor to a Bedford CF campervan featuring and more lots still to be added.
Porsches are in abundance, including a 1987 924S that looks smart with its original ‘S’ graphics and lattice wheels, which is estimated at a very reasonable £2000-£3000. If you prefer the 2.5-litre engine housed in a 944, a 1986 example with an MoT until April 2025 is guided at £3000–5000, while a stunning 993 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet is a real dream car in immaculate condition and carries a more substantial £60,000–65,000 estimate. Fans of the 911 also have the option of a 2008 997 Carrera 4S, which benefits from a recent engine rebuild and is estimated at £16,000–18,000.
If you’d rather a traditional classic, there are plenty to tempt you. An outlay of £7000-£9000 could net a Ford Escort Mk2 1.3L Huntsman, which is one of only 350 made and looks remarkably tidy. There’s also a 1969 Morris Minor 1000 saloon that’s temptingly offered without reserve, but if you prefer something rarer, a charming 1958 Standard Pennant could be yours for an estimated £4000–5000.
There are classic sports cars aplenty, too; a 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite in Primrose Yellow that’s had just two owners in its 65 years carries a £10,000–12,000 guide price, while a 1957 100-6 that’s nearing completion and boasts hundreds of photos of the work carried out is estimated at £26,000–34,000. Meanwhile, a 1972 Triumph TR6 is very much in ‘rolling shell’ form, but is almost ready for paint and comes with a host of parts to complete the job, making its £4000–6000 guide a very exciting one.
Elsewhere, luxury cars are in abundance, with a 1979 Jaguar XJ12 carrying a remarkably low estimate of £5000–6000, a 1998 Jaguar X308 XJ8 making for a potential bargain with its £1000–1500 guide, and a very smart 1976 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow boasting the sought after Harvey Bailey handling kit estimated at £10,000–14,000. If even a 6.75-litre Rolls isn’t juicy enough of a cruiser for you, a predicted £18,000–22,000 could buy you a stunning 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air.
