ACA to sell George Formby's MK1 Jaguar
This is an interesting car, George Formby who was a very famous entertainer of the 30s and 40s owned this MK1 Jaguar until an unfortunate accident with an Austin A30 brought his ownership to an end with the damaged car traded in for a MK 9 Jaguar. 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.

Barons 420 Jaguar makes £34k
Of the cars on offer at Barons sale on Friday the standout result has to be the superb Jaguar 420 which had been subjected to a £40,000 rebuild. The car in the photographs does look stunning and certainly justified what we think is an auction record for a 420 at £34,100.
