Coys' Monday evening sale at the Lords cricket ground drew bidders for cars with some connection to celebrities past and present.A 1967 Ford Mustang GT390 Fastback, replicating the car used by Steve McQueen in the film Bullitt sold for more than twice its estimate at £53,726, showing a rise in interest for Americana.
A right hand drive 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190SL - formerly the property of broadcaster Chris Evans, sold for £32,346 and a 1986 Mercedes Benz 560E AMG formerly owned by George Harrison and Jeff Lynne of ELO sold for £12,000.
Rowan Atkinson's 1929 Austin 7 Ulster Replica complete with a genuine Ulster engine sold for £8,235.
A silver Aston Martin DB5 described as 'in immaculate condition' made only £163,800 though, which seemed a fairly modest result.
