Four desirable prancing horses came under the hammer at last week's (April 21) H&H Buxton sale of collectors' motorcars and automobilia, all of which sold for excellent prices.

As we previously reported, of particular note was the stunning 1970 365 GTB/4 Daytona that had covered just 65,860 miles from new.

Effectively a two-owner car that was originally the property of Ferrari aficionado Colonel Bob Roberts, it was beautifully presented, came with a fascinating history file and sold for £176,000.

The equally immaculate Nero black 1978 512 Berlinetta Boxer is from the same stable, and has driven a mere 49,100 miles in its life to date. It returned £82,500.

Elsewhere, the smart LHD 1996 F355 GTS found a new home for £31,900, while the striking 1988 328 GTS was on the money at £26,950.

Lagondas have long since been a speciality of H&H who have achieved a number of enviable price records with examples of the marque. There were therefore high hopes for the magnificent 1930 2-litre Supercharged Tourer on offer - and it did not disappoint.

The star of Lagonda's stand at the 1930 Olympia Motor Show and the veteran of two Monte Carlo rallies, two Lands End trials and a number of other major events in the hands of its original owner TC Mann, this superb English thoroughbred greatly exceeded expectations to return a new World Record price of £148,500.

At the other end of the scale, the 1980 Aston Martin Lagonda in need of restoration also surpassed its estimate to make £5,500.

Other notably strong performers in this eclectic sale included: a very tidy 1957 Bentley S1 (£37,400); a 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL that had covered just 28,000 miles from new (£20,900) and a pair of Austin Sevens - a pretty 1927/31 Ulster style two-seater sports (£10,450) and 1930 'Chummy' (£9,900).
