Well sold? Lots that exceeded their estimates by the largest percentage
While the headlines often focus on the top-tier sales, the Charterhouse Classic & Vintage Cars at Haynes Motor Museum also featured several entry-level opportunities.
The lot sold for the lowest hammer price was the "1998 Jaguar XJ8 X308 Being sold without reserve Registratio", which changed hands for just £403. For enthusiasts looking to enter the market, these lower-value lots often represent the most accessible way to start a collection.
Well bought? Lots that sold under their estimates by the largest percentage
Not every lot found a new home at the Charterhouse Classic & Vintage Cars at Haynes Motor Museum. A notable example was the 1970 Aston Martin DBS, which failed to meet reserve despite carrying an estimate of £60,000.
When high-profile lots like this don't hammer sold, it often indicates a temporary gap between seller expectations and current bidder appetite. These unsold listings now represent prime opportunities for post-auction "Off-Market" deals, where savvy buyers can often negotiate directly with the consignor.
