MATHEWSONS, THORNTON-LE-DALE. 26 MAY

Mathewsons sale, held on the Saturday of the Whitsun Bank Holiday, managed to drag plenty of punters away from the nearby seaside to invest in a fresh classic.

A 1987 Mini Advantage with fewer than 6000 miles on the clock was bought for £11,118 and – continuing the limited edition theme – a Mini 35 made £3379. Those with an eye for a bargain landed a 1998 Porsche Boxster for £2507. ■ 01751 474455 ■ mathewsons. co.uk
