Watch star motors lined up for classics sale

A 1966 Rolls-Royce Phantom V owned by two film celebrities is set to play a leading role in an upcoming classic car sale.

First owned by James Bond producer Harry Saltzman, it then belonged to Death Wish maker Michael Winner for 44 years.

The luxury limo has been in long-term storage and will need some light recommissioning, although it is still drivable.

It is expected to fetch up to £55,000 at the Manor Park Classics auction in Cheshire on July 6.

Sports car enthusiasts will hope to get their hands on a 2.6-litre Sephyr-engined 1956 AC Aceca, set to sell for as much as £80,000.

But deep pockets aren’t essential – a lovely 1958 Austin Metropolitan Convertible is up for grabs at about the £10,000 mark, as is a 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with a full engine rebuild.

Also among the diverse lots is a no-reserve, well-maintained, 1977 Ford Transit Autosleeper, a 1950 Rover P4 75 Cyclops (estimated to sell for up to £18,000) and a 1980 Ford Escort RS2000 that could get as much as £28,000.

Boss Roger Nowell said: “The formula we’re using – zero entry fees, all cars sold under one roof at our Runcorn HQ, and ample viewing time during the week and at weekends prior to the sale – definitely works, and sets us apart from our rivals.”
