The left hand drive Mercedes - Benz was originally purchased by the late owner, whilst he was serving in the British Army in Germany, with the much loved car travelling with him during his military career. It also saw life in Cyprus and the Middle East, before he undertook an epic journey across the continent to bring the car back to blighty. 

 

 Lot 3, Estimate £30,0000 - £35,000

The 1921 Talbot - Darracq was purchased from C. J. Bendall Ltd in Hitchin in February 1967 at a cost of £750.00, the original purchase receipt and cheque remain with a photograph of the late owner and his wife standing proudly beside their new purchase. 

 

Lot 4, Estimate £6,000 - £8,000 

We understand from the late owners family that the cars were last running in the 1980’s and have remained preserved in his barn for the last 4 decades. The cars will be sold as part of our specialist classic cars, vehicle and automobilia auction on Saturday 16th November 2024. The Mercedes is estimated at £30,000 - 40,000 and the Talbot £6,000 - 8,000. For further details or to discuss entering a vehicle or automobilia, please call Lewis on 01206 754754.
