A collection of 13 "barn find" Bentleys and Rolls-Royces will be offered by H&H Classic Car Auctions on October 16 at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, UK.
 The Phantom II was originally bought direct from the stand at the 1933 Olympia Motor Show |
Having languished in a garage for decades, the cars are in various states of repair but include some of the top models from the British marques.
The top performer is expected to be a 1933 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental Touring Saloon, which is valued at £20,000-30,000 ($31,965-47,947).
The car starred on the Park Ward & Co stand at the 1933 Olympia Motor Show, and was bought directly off the coachbuilder's stand by Ernest Barron Esq for £2,750.
It was then used in the Moira Shearer ballet film Red Shoes (1948), before ending up in the hands of Lawrence Dalton - a renowned enthusiast. It is featured in his books Those Elegant Rolls-Royce and The Derby Phantoms.
With its last MOT certificate dating to 1996, this will make a superb restoration project and is offered with its original logbooks and paperwork.
 A largely original model that has already received a partial restoration, the Silver Cloud awaits a new owner to bring it to its full potential |
Also expected to fare well is a 1960 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II, which received a partial restoration in the 1970s and is in highly original condition. It holds a £30,000-35,000 ($47,947-55,938) estimate.
The Bentley consignments include a 1935 3.5 Litre Sports Saloon, which is a matching numbers example but is in a very poor state of repair and will be sold without reserve.
