Anthony Hamilton's £3million classic car collection heads to Silverstone auction

Anthony Hamilton, father and former manager of seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton, is set to auction his private collection of 27 classic cars, estimated to be worth over £3million. 

The sale, which is being managed by Iconic Auctioneers, will take place on 25 July during the British Racing Drivers' Club Classic weekend at Silverstone, home of the British Grand Prix. 

The majority of the 27-car collection comprises British classics, including a Jaguar XJ220, an ultra-rare Jaguar XKSS, two C-type recreations, XKC001 and XKC003.

Other cars included in the impressive line-up are a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL, a 2013 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 and a 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300SL, which was previously owned by heavyweight boxer Billy Walker. 

Lionel Abbott, car specialist at Iconic Auctioneers, said: "The Anthony Hamilton Collection is a superbly curated group of cars with real depth, quality and personality.

"From the Jaguar XJ220 and XKSS recreation to the Triumph prototypes, Aston Martins and Mini Cooper S models, it reflects a clear passion for British motoring at its most characterful. To present these cars at Silverstone, alongside the Hamilton Straight, feels entirely fitting."
