Bristol 406 Fetches Just £27k
It came as a shock to see this stunning 1961 Bristol 406 fetch just £27,679 at Dore and Rees' February sale especially after having £6000 recently spent on it along with its increasing rarity, now being one of just seven registered in the UK. The Bristol 406 was introduced as a luxury car in 1958.
BMW E30 325i sells for £36,224 at Historics
Historics first sale of the year took place yesterday and the stand out result was the £36,224 paid for a 1988 BMW 325i E30. This was a very low mileage car showing just 22,429 miles on the clock and it was clearly in superb condition but it was still surprising to see it burst through its estimate of £20,000 - £25,000 to achieve a world record for one of these cars.

The incident was well publicised at the time according to ACA taking place on the August bank holiday of 1959.

Mathewsons kicked off their penultimate sale of the year last night with the first 150 lots. The one that caught our eye wasn't a car but a tractor, a 1981 County Tractor which managed a hammer price of £113,000! It will be interesting to see how today goes.
Rarity watch : Ford Pilot Van
We can recall once speaking to someone who owned a Ford Pilot Van but we have never seen one to this day until now. Historics will be selling what they say is believed to be the only Ford Pilot van left in the UK albeit in left hand drive form making it something of a rare beast to say the least.
