RICHARD HUDSON-EVANS
The top selling 1963 Ford Cortina Lotus MkI headed for the south of England after being sold for a within-guide £31,175. There were absentee buyers for both repatriated TR4s with the required £20,103 for the 1961 model and £18,200 for the 1962 car. An intrepid octogenarian had sociallydistanced viewed a two-owner 1973 Triumph, which he bought on the telephone for £4510. And a 14-year-old boy, bidding online, paid £1450 for a 1966 Fiat 850 Coupé for restoration, which his family collected afterwards and took home to Devon for what he estimates will be a three-year restoration.
