Motorsport photoAnthony Hamilton, father and former manager of seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton, is set to auction his private collection of 27 classic cars, estimated to be worth over £3million. The sale, which is being managed by Iconic Auctioneers, will take place on 25 July during the British Racing Drivers' Club Classic weekend at Silverstone, home of the British Grand Prix. The majority of the 27-car collection comprises British classics, including a Jaguar XJ220, an ultra-rare Jaguar XKSS, two C-type recreations, XKC001 and XKC003.AdvertisementAdvertisementOther cars included in the impressive line-up are a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL, a 2013 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 and a 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300SL, which was previously owned by heavyweight boxer Billy Walker. Lionel Abbott, car specialist at Iconic Auctioneers, said: "The Anthony Hamilton Collection is a superbly curated group of cars with real depth, quality and personality."From the Jaguar XJ220 and XKSS recreation to the Triumph prototypes, Aston Martins and Mini Cooper S models, it reflects a clear passion for British motoring at its most characterful. To present these cars at Silverstone, alongside the Hamilton Straight, feels entirely fitting."Anthony HamiltonAnthony HamiltonAll 27 cars from the Anthony Hamilton Collection1994 Jaguar XJ220 – £550,0002007 Jaguar XKSS Re-creation – £375,0002016 David Brown Automotive Speedback GT – £240,0002016 (1951) Jaguar C-type (XKC003 Re-creation) – £225,0002016 (1951) Jaguar C-type (XKC001 Re-creation) – £225,0001960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL – £120,0001974 Aston Martin V8 Series 3 Auto – £100,0001982 Aston Martin Lagonda Series 2 – £100,0001967 Jaguar E-type Series I 4.2-Litre Roadster – £100,0001967 Jaguar E-type Series I 4.2-Litre Roadster – £100,0001960 Triumph Italia 2000 Coupé – £100,0001968 Triumph TR5 (#X755 Prototype) – £90,0001997 David Brown Mini Remastered #29 – £80,000c.1997 David Brown Mini Remastered – £80,0001955 Swallow Doretti – £65,0001998 Aston Martin V8 Coupé – £65,0001973 Jaguar E-type Series 3 V12 Coupé (Manual) – £60,0001989 Mercedes-Benz 300SL (R107) – £50,0001985 BMW Alpina B10 3.5 (E28) – £50,0001964 Austin Mini Cooper 1071 S – £38,0002013 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 (W204) – £38,0001964 Austin Mini Cooper 970 S – £38,0001968 Morris Mini Cooper S Mk I 1,275cc – £35,0001960 Austin-Healey Sprite Supercharged – £30,0001966 Mini Moke – £30,0001963 Triumph Spitfire 4 (Mk 1) – £24,0001964 Triumph Spitfire 4 (Mk1) – £22,000To read more Motorsport.com articles visit our website.
