A 1961 Jaguar E-type ‘flat floor’ that had been untouched for 30 years tripled its estimate to sell for £109,020 at Bonhams yesterday.
The sports car, which we previewed earlier, had been estimated to make just £20-30,000 in Hendon and came complete with its original hood, owner’s manual and logbook.
Another surprise came in the form of a beautifully presented 1961 Rolls-Royce Phantom V Limousine, which soared over its £50k estimate to make £79,000.
The limo came equipped for life in the executive fast lane with a TV, video player, fax machine, three telephones, a wine cooler and a cocktail cabinet, while the exterior was finished in Harrods Green.
The Royce also came with receipts for a £89,900 restoration by specialist Kenneth Evans Associates.
Completing the top lots was a 1969 Aston Martin DB6, which had been subject to a £30,000 restoration, and sold for £107,900.
