Chris Routledge, Managing Director at Coys said: “There was a battle royal for this car which went for some £150,000.00 over its estimate.”

The auction also saw a further £4.5 million worth of cars sold. A Mercedes Benz 540 K, once owned by Bernie Eccleston, and expected to sell for £500,000, went for £864,000.

Another Mercedes, a 300 SL Roadster which had been in storage for over twenty years, sold for £343,000 – £100,000 more than expected.

Of the more unique lots was a Cord 810 Phaeton, once owned by Jimmy Page and businessman Duncan Bannatyne. Estimated to go for between £75-100,000, the distinctive convertible eventually sold for £80,000.
