Auto Addicts friend and fellow racer Jay Kay appears to be having a bit of a clear out of his extensive classic car collection. we approve of the clear out choices, whilst they were all great purchases – finding time to drive so many and keep them all ticking over is a full time job.
But I am relived to see my favourites are still safely stored away! Of the cars on the chopping list – my favourites of the clear out is the McLaren 675 LT – this should be a good investment car due to its limited edition of only 500 built and famous ownership. Also the Volvo 850R – what a cool car, indestructible! Almost tempted myself ..
The complete list of cars for the chop include:
1996 BMW 850 CSI Manual with only 12,777 recorded miles. Estimated at £80,000 to £100,000, it’s powered by a 5.5 litre V12 engine delivering 380bhp and 402 lb/ft of torque. Finished in the aptly named Cosmos Black with a black leather interior, it is one of only 138 UK supplied cars.
2015 Porsche 911 (991) Targa 4S, finished in Night Blue Metallic with a black leather interior which has covered just 11,600 miles. Estimated at £75,000 to £85,000, it has been fitted with numerous options including a Bose Surround sound system, Sport Chrono package, sports exhaust system, reversing camera and a tracking system. (A great car and colour choice, v low miles – Ed.)
1989 M3 E30 Johnny Cecotto Ltd Edition, estimated at £70,000 to £85,000. Built to celebrate Johnny Cecotto’s 1988 European Touring Car Championship victory, the M3 is finished in Nogaro Silver with a black leather interior with red and blue coloured inserts. It has covered just 18,000 miles and is one of only 505 Limited Editions built.
1967 Ford Mustang 390GT Fastback ‘Bullitt’ estimated at £58,000 to £68,000. Finished in the movie correct Highland Green Metallic with a blacked out grill and Torque Thrust wheels, the Mustang is powered by a professionally built 390ci (6.4 litre) V8 engine.
1989 Mercedes-Benz 300SL (R107) on offer is delightfully finished in Thistle Green Metallic with a matching interior and factory hardtop. Having covered just 54,000 miles, estimated at £30,000 to £35,000.
1996 Volvo 850R Sport-Wagon, estimated at £15,000 to £18,000. The car was originally supplied to Japan but was imported to the UK in 2017. Finished in Dark Olive Pearl with a Charcoal and Amaretta interior, the car has covered just 41,000 miles and presents an exciting opportunity to purchase one of the rarer homologation specials out there today. (Very Cool car )
2016 McLaren 675 LT, estimated at £230,000 to £280,000. One of only 500 cars built, the McLaren features over £50,000 worth of optional extras courtesy of McLaren Special Vehicle Operations (MSO) and is finished in a tasteful shade of Chicane Grey with a grey and orange interior.
