Two Jaguar XJ220s raced ahead of all else at the weekend’s dual Silverstone Auctions sales, with both cracking the £300,000 barrier and exceeding their lower guide prices as the hammer fell.
As had been expected, the 1995 Le Mans Blue example achieved the highest price of the pair, selling for £337,500 against a pre-sale estimate of £325-375,000. The ’97 Spa Silver car, meanwhile, went for £303,750.
However, only 35 of the 75 cars on offer across the twin sales on Saturday (11 May) changed hands, with several other high-profile lots among those that failed to find a new home.

The first of the two auctions was The Heythrop Classic Car Sale, and among the interesting lots that did sell were a 1988 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo Targa G50, which made £78,750, and a striking blue 1975 BMW 3.0CSi Coupé (£41,625).
