Silverstone Auction: Youngtimer Festival
The Silverstone auction sets a new world record for the most significant number of youngtimers sold in the UK. The auction house offered 168 cars, of which 73.21% sold, making £7,025,788 (€8,097,300) in total. The highest sale was a 1988 Ford RS200 Group B that had only 7,794 miles on the clock, selling for £292,500 (€337,100). A never-registered 1989 Jaguar XJ-S 5.3 V12 Convertible sold for £131,625 (€151,700), setting a new world record. The auction also included two 2000 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI Tommi Mäkinen Editions, one in black and the other in the Ralliart livery, selling for £28,125 (€32,415) and £110,250 (€127,065), respectively. The auction house also sold a series of Ford Focus super-sports, including a Mk1 RS with only 21 miles, which sold for £74,833 (€86,245).
Two Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI Tommi Mäkinen Editions and two Ford Focus RS500’s from the 212 and 101 produced respectively, is a nice record for Silverstone at the NEC in Birmingham.
And this was only the appetizer of the dreams that awaited anyone brought up on bread and simulators. 168 cars offered, of which 73.21% changed hands with takings of £7,025,788 (€8,097,300) and an average price per car sold of £57,120 (€65,850).
