What to expect from the H&H Auctioneers Kelham Hall auction?
H&H Auctioneers is preparing for its Kelham Hall auction on 18th Mar 2026.
With 22 lots currently consigned, the auction carries a combined mid estimate of £644,000. The catalogue offers cars to suit all price points and will be a good indicator of the health of the market in the United Kingdom.
Which car is the headlining the auction?
Topping the bill pre-sale is the 1934 Alvis Speed 20 SC Vanden Plas Tourer. Carrying an estimate of £80,000 - £100,000, it represents the highest-valued lot in the current catalogue.
This lot makes up 14.0% of the total value of the H&H Auctioneers catalogue.
Any potential bargains?
We've compared the estimate of every car in this auction against the recent prices we've seen for the respective model. The top 3 cars that appear most reasonably estimated vs their market history are:
• 1997 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn - Est. £16,000 - £20,000
Now, we haven't inspected these cars in person so make sure you go check them out and understand what you're buying and the extent of work needed.
The most affordable entry in the whole Kelham Hall auction is the 1954 Vauxhall Velox, with an estimate of £16,000 - £20,000.
Any strong estimates?
Again, we've compared the estimate of every car to recent prices for said model. The 3 cars below all have the strongest estimate vs usual prices for that model:
• 1934 Alvis Speed 20 SC Vanden Plas Tourer - Est: £80,000 - £100,000
• 2015 Land Rover Defender 90 Pick-Up (Potential World Record) - Est: £50,000 - £60,000
• 1977 Peugeot 504 V6 Cabriolet - Est: £30,000 - £35,000
This is not to say these cars are overpriced, but rather vs prior sales for the model they're above what we typically see.

Well bought? Lots that sold under their estimates by the largest percentage
Not every superstar found a new home. The highest-valued car that failed to meet its reserve was the [UnsoldYearMakeModel], which reached a high bid of [TopUnsoldHighBid] against an estimate of [UnsoldEstimateRange].
Since the bid reached [XX%] of the low estimate, it indicates a gap between [Sellers/Consignors] expectations and the current bidder reality. This lot is now a prime candidate for a post-auction "Off-Market" deal.
