Cliff Goodall’s view For a long time, Silverstone Auction and Historics have been direct competitors (often “colliding” in my pieces), but the “cold” numbers speak for themselves: Silverstone presented 110 cars, with 71 successfully sold (64.55%), a similar percentage to Historics at 64.52%, with 100 cars sold out of 155 on offer. However, the similarities end there, as the disparity becomes evident. In terms of value, Silverstone offered £9,304,000, more than double that of Historics (£4,140,000). At the end of the sale, the revenue gap widened even further, with the “chic” one reaching £5,760,622, while the “popular” Historics stopped at £2,468,778, a difference of 130%. Naturally, with fewer cars on sale and a higher revenue, the difference in average sales prices was astronomical: £81,135 and £24,687 respectively.
