Silverstone Auctions has teamed up with the organisers of the Footman James Classic Motor Show to hold a prestige car auction at this year’s event at Birmingham’s NEC on Saturday 17th November. It’s the first auction of its type in the show’s history and promises to be one of the highlights for classic car lovers when it takes place as part of the three-day extravaganza from 16th to 18th November.

The season ending Footman James Classic Motor Show and the neighbouring Classic Motorbike Show has become a ‘must-attend’ event for anyone harbouring a passion for cars and bikes, attracting around 50,000 owners and enthusiasts. There’s over 1,400 amazing vehicles on display, from modest family saloons and through to head-turning supercars. There’s also hundreds of trade stands, shows and automotive services to enjoy as well as the Wheeler Dealer live stage and restoration theatre.

The other Silverstone Auctions for 2012 include The Race Retro and Classic Car Sale at Stoneleigh Park on the 25th February. Meanwhile, the Silverstone based auctions held in the circuit’s ultra-modern ‘Wing’ building are the Spring Sale on 16th May, The Silverstone Classic Sale on 21st July and the Autumn Auction on 19th September.
