An independent auction house in the UK called Historics at Brooklands, is holding a car auction on May 26th focused on modern classics, which have been attracting more and more interest from car fanatics in recent years. In case you wondered, Brooklands does indeed refer to the famous Brooklands Museum, where Historics has its permanent home.
Normally, Historics auctions are all about classic cars, but on May 26th, eponymous, iconic but much more contemporary cars will be the feature, with a particular spotlight on hot hatches. Are you already thinking of Volkswagen, Peugeot and Ford? Well you?re immediately in tune with Historics, who will be selling off at auction some real gems.
Starting off the modern classics hatch sales will be a very rare 1981 Ford Fiesta which has been fully and loving restored back to its former glory from the ground up. Only 30 of these exist, if that, so Historics are expecting someone to pay in the region of ?8,000 for it.
French car manufacturer Peugeot has always been associated with its hot hatches from a couple of decades ago, so it?s no real surprise that a 205 GTI is up for auction by Historics as well. This particular 205 GTI is a 1990 model and amazingly it?s only had one owner up to 2011! What?s more, it only has 84,000 miles on the clock and has been maintained really well. Expecting to achieve about ?6,000, this feisty 1.6-litre hatch has loads of pedigree and will make for a lovely purchase no doubt.
You can?t hold a modern classics hot hatch auction without a Volkswagen Golf, either, and Historics at Brooklands will be putting on sale a 1989 Volkswagen Golf GTi Cabriolet with 79,000 on the clock, which has the rare ?Clipper? styling upgrade package. This one?s being offered with no reserve, so it will be interesting to see what it fetches!
Last but by no means least, a 1989 Lancia Delta HF Integrale KAT is up for grabs, also with no reserve. Lancia cars have a great rally history behind them and this Integrale KAT model was only available to buy in Switzerland. It features a 24-valve unit, with a turbocharged top end.? It should prove reliable and offer decent performance and it has been cared for very well by its three owners who all love classic marques.
