If you’re a classic car enthusiast, the H&H Buxton Pavilion Sale is the kind of event that makes your heart race. Set in Derbyshire’s scenic Pavilion Gardens, this summer sale is packed with iconic machines, from royal limousines to raw performance monsters. There’s more than £2.2 million worth of collector cars ready to change hands.
Chassis Number One Lotus Eclat Steals the Show
One of the most exciting cars in the sale is a 1975 Lotus Eclat 520. It isn’t just rare, it’s chassis number one, confirmed with a Lotus Certificate of Provenance.
Having covered just 101 miles since a thorough restoration, it remains one of only 15 early Eclats built with a larger boot, smaller rear seats, and a vertical rear bulkhead. Estimated at £14,000 to £18,000, it’s an unmissable piece of Lotus history.
Fit for a King: 1935 Rolls-Royce 20/25
This isn’t just any Rolls-Royce. Delivered new to King Rama VII of Siam, this 1935 20/25 ‘Sports Enclosed Limousine’ by Hooper comes loaded with original fittings and regal heritage.
With a guide price of £12,000 to £15,000, it’s a rare chance to own a piece of motoring royalty. Its condition and presence make it perfect for a rewarding restoration project.
1950 Healey Silverstone D-Type Brings Classic Racing Pedigree
The most valuable car in the lineup is the beautifully restored 1950 Healey Silverstone D-Type. Entered from The Loch Lomond Collection, it’s one of just around 104 ever made.
Restored by marque expert Warren Kennedy, this British road-racer blends rarity and history with a guide of £110,000 to £130,000.
Incredible Performance: Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R and BMW Z3M
Fans of performance cars will appreciate the 1995 Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R. With a 2.6L twin-turbocharged HKS ‘high deck’ straight-six and manual gearbox, this AWD beast is estimated at £50,000 to £60,000. Examples of this engine have reached an incredible 1100bhp.
Also up for grabs is a practically brand-new 1999 BMW Z3M Coupe. With just 650 miles on the clock, this ultra-low-mileage machine could be one of the finest Z3Ms in existence. Its guide price? £55,000 to £65,000.
Classic Icons Continue: Jaguar E-Type and More
Returning to British elegance, a well-kept 1962 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Roadster offers timeless appeal. With a recent refresh and consistent upkeep over four decades, it’s estimated between £80,000 and £100,000.
It’s just one of over 130 lots filled with classic, collector, and performance cars from across decades and countries.
