James Knight, Bonhams Head of Motoring, said: “The team have great affection for this Sale. Bonhams are proud to embrace the entire spectrum of the Collectors’ Motor Car market and the Beaulieu Sale has a leaning towards the more affordable end of the spectrum, and also motor cars in need of resurrection. With 125 motor cars alongside 35 motorcycles and 174 lots of automobilia, this years’ annual autojumble was our best ever with some excellent sales achieved.

“Many happy bidders turned out for the day, with projects proving particularly popular - a 1961 Jaguar E-Type project requiring complete restoration sold for almost four-times its estimate at £77,660; and proving Aston Martin’s continued popularity amongst collectors - a DB Mk III Sports Saloon project achieved almost double its estimate at £93,340.”
