Classic used cars prove popular

Oct 22 2008 Despite economic conditions appearing to worsen, classic used car enthusiasts continue to flock to auctions, it has been claimed.

British Car Auctions (BCA) recently held a sale at Blackbushe during which an 1968 Aston Martin DBS sold for £18,150 after attracting bids from buyers in Europe and Japan.

A Triumph 2000 Roadster was sold for £9,350, while a Triumph Dolomite 1850 attracted a winning bid of £4,200.

Commenting on the success of the event, Robin Lawton, Classics from BCA manager, said: "Once again we had a good turnout of buyers and we sold 28 cars for a 60 per cent conversion with a number selling for well above their estimate."

In August, a similar event organised by the company attracted several hundred buyers and resulted in the sale of 37 used cars, including a 1979 Ferrari 308 GTS for £18,425.

BCA will be hosting its next classic used car event at Blackbushe on Tuesday December 2nd.
