“We are delighted to have Richard both attending our sale on 1 August but also joining us on the rostrum to introduce the collection,” Nick Whale, managing director of Silverstone Auctions said. “It is with a very heavy heart that they go, as they have a great deal of personal sentimental value, but they will be funding the future development of the business and giving life back to countless other classic vehicles.” “The irony of me supporting my new classic car restoration business by selling some of my own classic car collection is not wasted on me,” Hammond said. The entire collection is being offered without reserve. There is also a stunning 1969 Porsche 911T, a 1927 Sunbeam Model 2 motorcycle, a classic 1999 Lotus Esprit Sport 350 which is number 5 of 48 built, a 1932 Velocette KSS Mk1 and a highly collectable 1977 Moto Guzzi Le Mans Mk1.
