Vintage car auction comes to Scotland

Interest in insurance for classic cars could increase as a result of a vintage automotive auction due to be held next month in Glamis, Scotland by the Strathmore Vintage Vehicle Club.

Taking place on April 2nd, the sale of old models will include a C1956 BMW 502 four-door saloon for restoration, as well as a 1937 Alvis Silver Crest Tickford, which has already had extensive work done, although more remains to be carried out.

Other classic lots include a 1961 Skoda 11 saloon, a 1990s Fiat Pininfarina two-door fixed head coupe and a 1937 British Salmson S4D rolling chassis, which needs much restoration, although it comes with a gearbox and twin cam engine.

The cars themselves used to belong to the late Freddie Cunningham and the Courier reports that hundreds of people are expected to head to the auction, with interest coming from as far away as France, Austria, Norway and Italy, thanks to the rarity of the vintage vehicles.
