H&H and SWVA: Don’t tell them Pebble Beach exists!
This article discusses the recent auctions held by two different auction houses, SWVA and H&H, and the wide range of prices at which cars were sold. The auctions offered cars from pre-war to modern-day models, and the prices varied from as low as £5,062 to as high as £117,000. The article provides a detailed analysis of the auctions, including the number of cars sold, the turnover, the average price per car, and the most expensive lot. It also highlights some of the cars that caught the author's attention and their selling prices. Overall, the article emphasizes that there are opportunities for buyers to find affordable classic cars if they look beyond the high-end auctions.
It may seem like a provocation. Instead it’s very real: you can look for the car of your dreams, often a millionaire model, in Pebble Beach – not long to go – or switch to the English H&H or SWVA where the prices of the cars on sale are at the other end of the spectrum.
SWVA is a small auction house in the southwest of England that on 29th July offered 74 cars (it sold 69, or 93.24%), where the Top Lot cost just £25,960 (€31,020)!
