The glittering line-up, to be auctioned in Battersea Park on 29 October, could fetch £20 million if all are sold and reach their estimates. Also on offer at the sale, by Sotheby’s of London and US-based RM Auctions, is a silver 1965 Aston Martin DB5 which featured in Robbie Williams’s Millennium music video, an homage to James Bond movies. The star of the auction, however, is a little red Ferrari, a 1963 250 GT California Spyder SWB, expected to fetch up to £3. But experts suspect it will sell for less than the one bought by Mr Evans which is considered more valuable because it was once owned by James Coburn, star of films including The Great Escape. Complete with original paintwork, engine and body parts, it is expected to fetch up to £800,000. A total of 100 rare cars will be parked in Battersea for the auction which is expected to see wealthy collectors jet in from all over the world. read more
