Initial entries for the Autumn Sale being held by H&H Classics include a desirable selection of low mileage classics and single ownership examples.

The sale, which is this year’s penultimate auction of classic, collector and performance motorcars being held by H&H Classics, takes place at The Pavilion Gardens in Derbyshire on Wednesday 15^th October.

One of the standout lots is a remarkably original 1966 Sunbeam Tiger, given a guide price of £40,000-£50,000.

Possibly the most original and best-preserved Sunbeam Tiger in existence, it shows a mere 10,200 miles from new and has had just three owners.

Presented in time-warp condition, the chassis, engine and gearbox are all matching numbers, the interior is exceptionally original and the vast majority of the paint is factory finish.

Another lot sure to attract strong interest is a single ownership 1971 Ford Cortina (Mk. III) 1600 L, estimated at £14,000-£16,000.

Another highly original example, including having its first number plates in place, together with a wonderfully preserved interior and paint, this very special survivor is supplied with the original sale invoice and V5C showing zero former keepers.

James McWilliam, sales manager at H&H Classics, said: “It’s a delight that such a fine assortment of single ownership, low mileage and highly original classics are going under the hammer at our next Buxton auction.

“It’s a great way to mark our final sale at the Derbyshire venue in 2025, which has already seen three successful auctions this year.”

Other low mileage, and long-term ownership, entries include a no reserve 1988 Jaguar XJ-S Convertible. It shows just c.21,000 miles from new, which is an equivalent of a mere 567 miles per year on average.

Meanwhile, another one ownership and low mileage lot is a no reserve 1995 Rover Mini Sprite 1275. It shows a genuine 14,600 miles from new, which is less than 500 miles per year on average.

A low mileage 2000 Subaru Impreza P1 modern classic is number 116 of 1,000 UK-supplied, right-hand drive examples of the ‘Prodrive One’ (P1). A highly cherished example, it shows just c.68,000 miles from new at time of consignment and represents a very exciting find.

All lots will be available to view in person at the Pavilion Gardens, Buxton from midday on Tuesday 14^th and from 9am on Wednesday 15^th October, while the sale then commences at 12pm.

Anyone looking to bid on one of the lots can do so in person, online, by telephone or by leaving a commission bid, while for more details about any of the cars or to register to bid, visit www.handh.co.uk.
