Manor Park North’s latest classic car sale took place on July 18 at its Cheshire location, with lots ranging from pre-war vehicles to mid-2000s icons
A 1992 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.0 broke an auction record at Manor Park North’s sale by selling for £24,150, but there were plenty of other intriguing sales, too.
Traditional Brits enjoyed a good sale, with a 1934 MG PA restored by a father and son selling for £14,662, just beating its lower estimate, and a 1936 three-wheeled Morgan Super Sports MX2 making £24,150, again beating its lower guide. Moving to post-war cars, a pair of Triumphs caught the eye, with a lovely 1957 Triumph TR3A in red beating its £14,000-£16,000 estimate to sell for £18,112 and a 1963 Spitfire 4 believed to have covered less than 17,000 selling mid guide for £8625. In addition, a 1975 TVR 3000M in fantastic condition beat its £20,000-£22,000 to change hands for an impressive £26,650.
Four years the TVR’s junior, a 1979 Ford Cortina Mk4 in rare 2.3 V6 Ghia guise was offered with no reserve and went on to sell for £7015. Air cooled VWs, meanwhile, also proved popular, with a 1956 Beetle imported from California over 35 years ago selling for £11,000, and a 1970 Karmann Ghia, also imported from the US but just four years ago, looking to be a real bargain at £14,375.
More modern classics included a Peugeot 205 Roland Garros Cabriolet that matched its lower guide at £5020, with a 2001 Alfa GTV Cup beating its £9000-£11,000 prediction by selling for £12,075. We were also intrigued by a 2008 Saab 9-3 2.0t Vector Convertible that had covered just 4100 miles from new, which soared past its £8500-£9500 guide to change hands for £10,925.
With other lots including a classic Mini-based barbeque that sold for over £1000 and a 1959 Foden S20 dropside lorry that sold for £8970, there was no doubting the variety on offer.
