Some interesting stuff coming for grabs next week - some of it with reasonably sensible estimates - interesting selection of stuff at price points which do not require your hedge fund business to be doing well to have a chance of making a winning bid Lots that appealed below: The Modern Classic

Groovy Renault 5 Turbo 1 - yes the one with the alloy panels. Still remember "Fatima Blush" giving one of these a thrashing in "Never Say Never Again" in Dat red R5 Turbo! Estimated at £60-70k - it's a lot of money for 5 - but have you seen what the more common and less desirably specced Turbo 2 fetches? A bit of fettling to reach 200 bhp - whilst retaining all the standard stuff for future beard collectors - and you have got something with enough grunt to unstick that fat rear end and relive your "I could have been Jean Ragnotti" fantasies... Details here Video below from "Never Say Never Again" with femme fatale "Fatima Blush" at the wheel of the Regie's diminutive road rocket below... The Rare Tour event car with oversteer potential

Ford Capri RS2600 - will get RS anoraks foaming at the mouth - makes an RS3100 seem positively common! Interesting history that you would still probably want to research more - but surely made for some spirited Tour events where it's rarity would help you getting an entry and it's oversteer potential would be fun. Estimated £26-30k - find another and bring it up to this condition for that....Details here

The sensibly modified do it all sexy sportscar

Very cute Lotus Elan S3 FHC - evocative BRM colours - with some sexy mods such as 26R driveshafts - breathed on twink with L2 cams etc. Away from collector car market drivel about originality - this probably is a really fun elan to drive in decent fast road spec and hopefully not destined for long term storage but instead - a life of being enthusiastically spanked on country roads and maybe a few events? Realistically estimated at £25-£30k Details here >>>Full lot listing for the Silverstone Auction NEC Classic Car show sale here >>>>
