When heritage meets horsepower, magic happens. That’s the energy behind the Oulton Park Gold Cup Sale, where Hampson Auctions gathers 115 standout vehicles for one electrifying Sunday.
Rally Legends Line the Grid
It all kicks off with racing pedigree. A 1984 Metro 6R4 headlines the competition corner, built by Scottish driver Murray Grierson after Group B’s ban. With its 2500cc Hart 420R engine and fresh restoration, this rally beast looks ready to launch again.
Historic Escort entries follow suit. A 1981 Ford Escort Mk2 RS2000 in full Rothmans livery joins a fully restored 1972 Mk1 Mexico with British Rally roots. From hill climbs to championships, even a 1988 Renault 5 GT Turbo and rare 1994 Clio Williams Cup car add spice to the racing mix.
Performance Cars That Steal Glances
Supercars and rare performance gems roar into Oulton Park next. Imagine seeing a 2023 Lamborghini Urus Performante parked next to a 1978 Aston Martin V8 Oscar India. Rarity continues with a RHD Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina, an original Hartge-tuned BMW E28, and Nissan’s Skyline R33 GTR V-Spec.
From an Audi UR quattro 2.2 Turbo to a ceramic-coated Porsche 924 Turbo that’s been in one family nearly 40 years, this grid is packed with variety and value.
Japan’s Finest and Britain’s Bold
JDM fans will spot a 1990 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo once used by Nissan Tokyo, plus a pristine 1993 Toyota Supra Twin-Turbo with under 35k miles. A pair of Vauxhall VX220s, including a Turbo model, keep the lightweight performance flowing.
Land Rover lovers get spoiled too, with a custom 1984 Pickup 110 powered by a Toyota 4.2L engine and Range Rover transmission. The sale also includes a 2014 Defender 110XS with high specs, and two Range Rover siblings.
Classics With Character
Vintage fans will adore the 1926 Lea Francis J Type Drophead Coupe. It joins saloons like a 1966 Humber Hawk and 1978 Viva HC, plus sports gems like a 1970 Lotus Europa S2 and 1967 Ford Lotus Cortina Mk2. An E-Type FHC adds British flair with unmistakable curves.
American Icons Join the Show
Stateside muscle makes its presence felt, too. The Cadillac Coupe Deville from Mad Men, yes, Don Draper’s car, is here. Several Mustangs also charge in, including a genuine 1971 Mach 1 M Code.
Summary
Hampson’s Oulton Park Gold Cup Sale isn’t just an auction. It’s a celebration of speed, style, and automotive history. Whether it’s rally grit or supercar shine, this year’s lineup proves again why this sale sits firmly on every collector’s radar.
