There are no doubt many members of the public here in the UK who believe that to be able to buy a classic car you have to be quite wealthy. Well, a recent auction has taken place that will dispel this myth as a number of classic cars were sold for prices that would have been well within the budget of quite a lot of people.

The H and H Classic Car Auction Online took place on the 2nd February 2019. Below we provide details of just some of the many cars that were sold to new owners on the day.

A 1936 Austin Seven Ruby with green bodywork had an estimated price of £4,000 to £5,000 but was actually sold for £6,750. Around 290,000 of these wonderful saloon cars were built between 1922 to 1939. It has an opening windscreen.
