1954 XK120 SE.


Another Browns Lane tribute was the magnifi- cent 1954 XK120 SE that fully justified its £125,000 price, whilst an original unrestored 1962 E-type Series 1 roadster was understandably the focus of strong bidding, settling well over- estimate at £145,600. 11 of of the 13 classic Jaguars on offer went to new homes.

rare Morris Mini Cooper 970 S was a magnet and so it proved during bidding, the immaculate and superbly-prepared car settling on £56,000.

The next auction takes place on 20th May at a new location – Ascot Racecourse, but Historics will be back at the Museum on 8th July. Edward Bridger-Stille
