Fiat 8V Zagato
For sale at RM Sotheby’s, Villa Erba, May 25, rmsothebys.com Why buy it? One of just 26 of these built with the much preferred Zagato body. It has taken part in eight Mille Miglia Storicos, but more recently was restored in its correct Emerald Green colour scheme and reunited with its original engine. Just 500 kilometres have been covered since. One to treasure. Estimate TBA
For sale at Classic Car Auctions, Leamington Spa, May 25, classiccarauctions.
co.uk Why buy it? About as nice an example of a TR4A as you will find, and in arguably the best colour too. Body-off restoration was completed in 2014, with everything rebuilt or replaced. Since then the owner has put around 6000 miles on it. Realistic estimate, and the Surrey top is another big plus. Estimate £25k-£30k For sale at H&H Auctions, Duxford, June 19, handh.
co.uk Why buy it? Pre-war Astons are rare birds in any form, but especially 1.5 saloons because only 61 of these were built in the first place. This gorgeous garage find has been stored since the Seventies but most of its history prior to that is known and documented. It comes with period photos too. Estimate £45,000-£55,000 For sale at Morris Leslie, Perth, May 25, morrisleslie.co.uk Why buy it? The best version, with its 220bhp five-cylinder, and quite possibly the best colour too – Sprint Blue. Even better, it has done just 50,500 miles with effectively two owners, the second from 2002 being husband and wife. Well specced and – unusually – completely standard. Estimate £7000-£8000
