This Saturday sees the final Classic Car Auctions event of 2016 take place at Warwickshire Exhibition, giving buyers a final chance to snap themselves up an early Christmas present.

A mixed bag of low mileage collectibles, eighties performance icons, timeless restored classics, barn finds, and restoration projects ensures there is something for all amongst the 130 strong sale.

One interesting lot is the very first Vauxhall Chevette HS 2.3 to roll off the production line in 1977, with the fully restored example expected to fetch between £18,000-£22,000.

Also expected to be quick off the mark is a right-hand drive 1992 Honda NSX - in black metallic with matching leather interior and the registration J13 NSX - which carries an estimate of £30,000-£35,000, while Japanese performance aficionados may also be tempted by one of just 1,000 limited edition 2001 Prodrive Subaru Impreza P1 2.0T 4WD 2DR’s expected to sell for between £10,000-£12,000.

Mercedes-Benz fans could snap up a supercharged 2003 CL55 AMG with an estimate of £26,000-£30,000, or even more uniquely a 1985 250 Limousine formerly owned by the United Arab Emirates embassy and offered without reserve.

A wide range of interesting Porsche models are included in the sale. A 1979 930 Turbo in Tahiti Blue is estimated between £55,000-£65,000, while a little lower down the price scale is Guard Red 1983 944 Lux with a leather and pinstriped velour interior and just 61,000 miles on the clock, expected to be snapped up for a bargain £8,000-£10,000.

Buy British in the form of a 1999 Lotus Esprit V8 Twin Turbo, estimated at between £26,000 and £30,000, or a ‘barn find’ 1973 Jaguar E-Type SIII V12 Roadster, ready for restoration and expected to fetch £25,000 to £30,000.

A special charity lot will also go under the hammer in support of Bloodwise, the blood cancer charity which Classic Car Auctions has supported throughout 2016. All proceeds from the sale of a 1975 VW Beetle 1303 Convertible will go to the charity.
