A stunning haul of 100 affordable classics including several rare and highly desirable models has been put up for auction by Jaguar Land Rover.
The vehicles, many of them British classics from the 1960s and '70s, are part of a 500-strong hoard bought by Jaguar Land Rover from uber-collector Dr James Hull a few years ago.
JLR has now decided to offload around 200 items, including the affordable classics plus a vast number of pedal cars and even a boat, offering them with no reserve in a Brightwells auction next month.
There are dozens of interesting vehicles in the collection, which was amassed over a 35-year period by Dr Hull. We're particularly taken by the above Reliant Ferguson 4X4 – a one-of-a-kind prototype of a 4WD Reliant Scimitar GTE.
Other highlights include a homogolation special Vauxhall Chevette 2300 HS (below) – one of just 400 models – a Borgward Isabella Coupé and a nice-looking Rover SD1 3500.
There's also an exceedingly rare Rover Estoura, an estate based on the Rover P6 and produced by coachbuilders FLM Panelcraft. Only around 200 of these were ever made.
Matthew Parkin, head of Brightwells Classic Cars said, “We are absolutely delighted to have been asked by Jaguar Land Rover Classic to auction part of their significant classic collection.
