CLASSIC CARS worth hundreds of thousands of pounds will go for auction next weekend.

Aston Martin, Rolls Royce, Austin 7, Ferrari, and Mercedes cars will go under the hammer at Ascot Racecourse during the Ascot Classic Car Auction.

The event will be held next Saturday with viewing next Thursday and Friday.

Among the attractions at the auction is a blue Jaguar Fixhead Coupe Series 1, which is expected to be sold for an eyewatering price of between £145,000-£170,000.

There will also be a lime green Porsche 911 from 1963, which is expected to be sold for a price between £165,000-£190,000.

Some of the cars have already been customised by previous owners. For example one Mercedes Benz has been lowered and customised, and will be sold for between £10,000 and £14,000.

However, it isn’t just cars going under the hammer, as classic motorbikes, caravans and ancient vehicles will also be on display.
