The Bonhams London New Bond Street 2013 Auction was held 1st December at Bonhams\u2019 newly redesigned and refurbished London headquarters, resulting in \u00a316.8 in total sales and an 83% sell-through rate.<\/p>\n

All eight cars in Dick Skipworth\u2019s collection from the legendary Scottish Ecurie Ecosse team that won two consecutive Le Mans 24-Hour races in 1956 and 1957, sold for record prices.The team\u2019s 1952 Jaguar C-Type sold for \u00a32,900,000, amid auction-room applause, while their 1956 Jaguar D-Type ‘Short Nose’ sold for \u00a32,600,000. Both went to a buyer in the United States.<\/p>\n

The Skipworth Collection\u2019s 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster made a record \u00a3707,000, while the 1959 Tojeiro-Jaguar Sports-Racing Prototype brought \u00a3382,300, the 1960 Cooper Monaco-Climax ‘Mark II’ Type 57 Sports-Racing Prototype sold for \u00a3219,900, the 1962-63 Tojeiro EE-Buick Endurance Racing Coupe changed hands for \u00a3214,300 and the 1961 Austin-Healey Sprite Two-Seat Grand Touring Coupe traded for \u00a361,980.<\/p>\n

However, it was the Ecurie Ecosse three-car Transporter, the unique 1960 Commer TS3 immortalised for many by the Corgi toy, which exceeded all expectations as it was sold to the same US buyer for \u00a31,800,000 after a telephone bidding war that lasted almost 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

The 800-strong crowd in Bonhams\u2019 \u00a330-million New Bond Street headquarters — opened by London Mayor Boris Johnson on October 24 — erupted as auctioneer Robert Brooks\u2019 hammer sealed this sale of the most valuable historic commercial vehicle ever sold at auction.<\/p>\n

Following the Ecurie Ecosse Collection\u2019s sale excitement, the spotlight turned to Ringo Starr\u2019s 1964 Facel Vega II Coupe, which sold for \u00a3337,500 while seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher\u2019s 1994 Benetton-Cosworth Ford B194 went to a German museum in Boeblingen for \u00a3617,500, bringing the auction total to \u00a316,861,630.<\/p>\n

Other notable results at the 2013 Bonhams New Bond Street sale included the 1959 Aston Martin DB4GT that sold for \u00a31,569,500, the 1934 Aston Martin Ulster Two-Seater Sports that made \u00a31,300,700 and the 1938 BMW 328 Sports Two-Seater that brought \u00a3785,500.<\/p>\n

James Knight, Bonhams\u2019 Group Motoring Director, said, \u201cWe always knew that today\u2019s Sale had the potential to be a roaring success, but nobody quite anticipated the incredible atmosphere in the saleroom that saw so many truly historic cars go for such astounding prices. The Jaguars especially were exceptionally popular, and I am delighted that the Transporter will still be carrying two of its original Ecurie Ecosse racing cars.\u201d<\/p>\n
