  Ferrari 308 Non Runner Makes £24,600 at Barons 20 Apr 2012 (News)
  On this trial occasion, the sound wasn't brilliant - something that will definitely be improved in time for the Jaguar Heritage sale - but the feedback from viewers was that they really enjoyed being a 'virtual part' of the saleroom, particularly when the bidding was fast and furious!" Another strongly fought-over car was the 1960 Austin Healey 3000 Mk1 which has just emerged from 33 years in storage. It soon powered well past its £8,000 estimate, finally selling for £16,800. The buyer was overjoyed to secure the car, as owning a ‘big Healey’ has been an ambition for 10 years, and this rolling restoration offered him the opportunity to achieve his dream.

  A Grand Monday: Rover 216 Tomcat Coupe 26 Sep 2016 (News)
  It’s also, critically, in very good structural condition – a key point, as the low-slung Tomcat likes to rot more than other models in the 200 line-up. Add in the fact that the car is Nightfire Red (one of the best colours), is clearly owned by a committed Rover enthusiast, comes with the best wheels and the low-lip boot spoiler, has low miles and has clearly been well looked after, and you’re left with an appealing entry-level 200 Coupe that’s in far better order than most of the examples you see for sale at this price level.
