Hide AdAnd Banbury auctioneers Holloway’s will now oversee the sale of his collection, which will feature some 40 lots, including nine cars and one Norton motorcycle. The remaining lots will be a selection of motor vehicle memorabilia, signs and spares.
Among the cars up for grabs are a 1998/2000 Rolls Royce Cornich convertible which is one of only nine that were made with right hand drive. Also of note is the 1939 Alvis Sports Tourer. It houses a 4.3 litre, straight six powerplant that enabled the Alvis to become the first saloon car to record 100mph.
The auction will take place just outside Banbury on Saturday February 18 and viewing will be available on Thursday 16 and Friday 17 between 9.30am and 3.30pm.
