ADVERTISING FEATURE 3 Keeper’ classics top Shannons Sydney Late Autumn Bill COLLECTABLE sporting classic cars from Britain, Italy and the US that are likely to be worth several times their current value in the years ahead top the bill at Shannons Late Autumn Auction in Sydney on Monday (May 26). Heading the ‘ones to put away’ is a stunning black with chrome wire wheels and tan leather interior 1967 Jaguar E-Type 4.2-litre Series 1.5 Roadster that is expected to sell in the $110,000-$125,000 range. The original right hand drive car was delivered new in South Africa, but since arriving in Australia in 2001 has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment, including a bare metal respray, new interior and a new soft top. Another classic ‘keeper’ is a 1988 Ferrari Testarossa coupe – a classic flat 12 cylinder Ferrari that many experts believe is currently well undervalued on the world collector market. Presented in classic Rosso Corsa with Crema leather interior, this former flagship Ferrari is also rare, being one of only 438 right hand drive Testarossas produced. Adding to its collectability, the Ferrari’s odometer is showing just 58,013 miles, a figure supported by its documented service history and unmodified condition, with largely original paint and trim. Because of its rarity, original, low-mileage condition and potential collectability, Shannons expect it will find willing floor, telephone and Internet bidders in the $95,000-$110,000 range. From the USA there is a beautiful, former trophy winning and matching numbers 1960 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Convertible that was already restored some years previously when it arrived in Australia in 2011. However the original left hand drive Corvette comes with a comprehensive receipt file that documents more than $30,000 invested on maintaining it in top condition in recent years. Presented in stunning condition in red with white scallops and a red vinyl interior, the Corvette is fitted with the model’s desirable fourspeed manual gearbox. Because of its condition, collectability and charisma, Shannons expect it to sell in the $90,000-$105,000 range. Also red and highly desirable is a rare and very desirable 1958 Austin-Healey 100/6 BN6 Roadster that has been the subject of an uncompromised, bare metal restoration. This model is highly sought-after in Healey collector circles because of its standard twoseater format, which made it the basis for future Austin-Healey works rally cars, whereas most of the six cylinder ‘Big Healeys’ were built as 2+2 seaters. The original right-hand drive Colorado Red with red trim roadster was delivered via the Hong Kong distributor Metro Cars Limited in 1958, but came to Australia in the 1980s. After spending 20 or so years in the hands of the same owner, it passed into the hands of the vendor, who has overseen its ground-up restoration. Fitted with the desirable Overdrive option on its four-speed manual gearbox, it is presented in wonderful condition, with just 60,908 miles (believed genuine) showing on its odometer. Because of its outstanding condition and provenance, Shannons expect bidding in the $75,000-$80,000 range for what has become one of the most desirable Big Healey variants. • This former trophy-winning and matching-numbers 1960 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Convertible is expected to bring $90,000-$105,000 at Shannons Late Autumn Sydney Auction on Monday (May 26) (21st May, 2014) • This beautifully-presented 1967 Jaguar E-Type 4.2-litre Series 1.5 Roadster is expected to sell in the $110,000-$125,000 range.
