    JanuaryJuly 2017 2017 NEWS Thoughts from the showroom... Hello and welcome to Frank Dale & Stepsons Summer newsletter. I can safely say I’ve never driven so many cars with the hood down than I have this year – as London has had its fair share of issues to deal with over the past few months, the weather at least has been very kind! Since I last put pen to paper the Brexit process has officially begun with the whole world looking on with great interest. And since our last newsletter Teresa May’s dream of an increased majority in the House of Commons turned into a nightmare as the election results unfolded. As the political vultures from all parties surround her lame duck premiership who knows when we will see a calmer Westminster, but at least the negotiations for Brexit are now underway, a process we will all be keen to follow. Returning to the far more pleasant world of classic cars, Frank Dale & Stepsons have been very busy over the past few months. In April we exhibited five cars at our traditional season opener at The Essen Techno Classica in Germany which is always a tiring but fun week to take part in. We also saw some familiar faces and cars we have handled in the past gracing the lawns that border the beautiful Lake Como at the Villa D’Este concours. We are currently preparing a car for entry to the concours next year so will hopefully get to enjoy the Essen Techno Classica full event in person in 2018.

  • Bugatti, Ferrari and Dunhill Bentley Lead Christie's
    For Immediate Release 10 March 2005 Contact: Matthew Paton 020 7389 2965 [email protected] BUGATTI, FERRARI AND DUNHILL BENTLEY LEAD CHRISTIE’S APRIL SALE Exceptional Motor Cars and Automobilia Tuesday, 19 April 2005 London – Christie’s International Motor Cars is pleased to announce the first London sale of 2005, which will take place on 19 April. This sale will include 22 cars from various ages of motoring, and will have examples from Ferrari, Bentley, Bugatti, Rolls-Royce and Jaguar, among others. Highlighting the sale are examples from four different eras of motoring: 1897 Panhard-Levassor 6hp Twin Cylinder Phaeton The Panhard-Levassor was the first ever luxury car, and the company dominated the luxury market until the arrival of Mercedes in 1901. In 1895, a Panhard-Levassor won the first ever motor race by driving from Paris to Bordeaux and back again. Unfortunately, few examples have survived – the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain records just 35. As a result, it is a rare occurrence to see such an example of motoring history at auction. This example, which is known as ‘William the Conqueror’, was delivered to a motor dealership in Paris in December 1897. It was discovered in the late 1970s in northern France, and was brought to the UK where it underwent a comprehensive restoration. The car carries an estimate of £100,000-150,000. 1923 Bentley 3 Litre Drophead Coupé by Park Ward This immaculate vintage Bentley was delivered new to Alfred Dunhill in December 1923. Dunhill is most famous for founding the company which carries his name, and which aimed to supply ‘everything but the motor’ in its motor accessories range.

Barrett-Jackson and the Arizona auctions capture most American J car geeks’ collective consciousness, and Dana Mecum has set up a selling spectacle of his own in central Florida. Over the course of 18 days (January 3-21), roughly one quarter of the year’s live auction cars crossed the block. That translates to a collector car being offered for sale every four minutes, night and day, for nearly three weeks straight. All told, more than $343 million of collector cars, trucks, vans, and motorcycles changed titles. Gaudy numbers. But what to make of them? John Wiley does a deep dive on page 9, but the short take is total sales for the Arizona auctions fell well short of our expectations, primarily due to misses among the top cars on offer.
