A 1971 Lamborghini Miura first owned by rock legend Sir Rod Stewart sold for \u00a3909,000 at Coys auctioneers\u2019 first Classic & Sports Car Show sale at London\u2019s Alexandra Palace on October 29. The blue Miura (above, photo courtesy of Coys), a P400S model, had been the subject of a \u00a3100,000 restoration and upgrade to SV specification, was the most valuable car to sell at the auction.<\/p>\n

A 1972 Maserati Ghibli 4.9 SS, once owned by another rocker, U2 drummer Adam Clayton, set a new world-record for a Ghibli sold at auction when it went for \u00a3303,000. The car is one of only eight right-hand drive examples.<\/p>\n

Another headline lot sold was the first registered Range Rover, which went for \u00a393,000. This 1970 Range Rover was the 26th<\/sup> model manufactured, and is believed to be the first car that Land Rover registered to itself on May 27, 1970, as part of the first batch of 20 press launch cars.<\/p>\n

Other important lots sold included an original right-hand-drive 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GT E Series, with coachwork by Scaglietti and design by Pininfarina, which went for \u00a3374,000, and a 1977 Ferrari 512 BB that had been featured at the 1977 London Motor Show, which went for \u00a3225,000.<\/p>\n

Chris Routledge, CEO of Coys, said: \u201cIn combination with the very high quality features, displays and the amazing live parades on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, including original Grand Prix cars on the streets of London, the Coys auction was a very powerful addition to what was a dramatically improved Classic & Sports Car Show.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe auction was exceptional, and clearly shows that the historic motor car market is strong and alive with a world-record price for a Maserati Ghibli, a fabulous result for a 246 Dino and a very encouraging price achieved for the Rod Stewart Miura.\u201d<\/p>\n
