Following on from its successful return to
Race Retro last year,
H&H has already attracted a host of exciting entries for 2010. However, the catalogue for this prestigious auction will not close until Monday February 23rd so there is still time to present your property be it a motor car, motorcycle or piece of automobilia to a truly international audience.
Significant Motor Cars:
1975 Ford Escort MKII RS1800

One of the famous Works-supported Championship-winning Haynes of Maidstone liveried cars as driven by John Taylor and later Malcolm Wilson (among others). Still retaining the same bodyshell with which it finished its period career, this ultra-rare Works-supported RS1800 has been extensively restored over recent years and boasts an enviable mechanical specification (original Terry Hoyle block etc).
Estimate: £90,000 - £110,000
1971 Ford Escort MKI RS1600

One of two RS1600 cars that Historic Motorsports of Daventry assembled to what some have described as the ultimate rally specification yet achieved for a MKI Escort, ŒWRV 207K‚ was last piloted in anger by
Stig Blomqvist and co-driver Ana Goni on the 2007 East African Safari Rally. Having taken some 870 hours to prepare, ŒWRV 207K‚ finished the grueling 4,500km event in sixth place overall, while its sister car ŒWPU 242L‚ claimed outright victory.
Estimate: £55,000 - £65,000
1969 Ford Escort MKI

Supplied new to privateer driver Douglas Harris and later owned by the Ford Motor Co, ŒCMF 730H‚ contested both the 1970 and 1974 World Cup Rallies. Finishing 1st-in-class on the former, it retired from the latter somewhere in the Libyan Desert! Since entering the current ownership circa ten years ago, the Escort has been revitalised by Yorkshire Classic Cars and used for historic stage rallying.
Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000
1936 Lagonda LG45 Tourer

Keen to showcase the LG45 ˆ the first model to be overseen by its recently appointed technical director W.O. Bentley ˆ Lagonda had two examples specially built and prepared for the 1936 Monte Carlo Rally. Road registered as ŒDPE 120‚ and ŒDPE 121‚, the pair were driven by T.G. Moore (of Motor Sport magazine) and A.P. Good (Lagonda‚s incoming Chairman) respectively. ŒDPE 121‚ crashed not long after setting off from Riga but was recovered to the UK on Good‚s orders and restored by the Works in 1947. Still sporting correct-type rally specification wings as well as matching chassis and engine numbers, this historic Lagonda has been in the current ownership since 1975.
Estimate: £90,000 - £110,000
1959 Jaguar XK150 S 3.4 Litre Drophead Coupe

Finished in its factory correct livery of Pearl Grey with red leather upholstery and a black hood, this highly desirable ŒS‚ model has had just four private keepers from new. A rare home market car, it boasts Œmatching numbers‚ and an extensive history file.
Estimate: £60,000 - £70,000
The SL Collection
A collection of six left-hand drive Mercedes-Benz ŒSL‚ sportscars all distinguished by their outright condition and / or degree of originality to include five W113 ŒPagodas‚ and a W121 190SL.
