As the auction calendar draws to a close, Historics Auctioneers round off a remarkable year with its final sale of the season – and, traditionally, an exceptionally thrilling one – at the iconic Mercedes-Benz World, set within the historic Brooklands motor racing circuit.
This much-anticipated event has become a highlight for classic car enthusiasts, not just for the calibre of consignments, but for the atmosphere – a blend of motoring heritage and modern automotive engineering. With Brooklands’ rich motorsport legacy providing a fitting backdrop, bidders gather to see a wide-ranging and often surprising mix of classic and collector cars go under the hammer.
It’s a fitting end to what has been a standout year for Historics. Over the past 12 months, the auction house has seen continued growth and broken several records, reinforcing its position as a major player in the UK classic car auction scene.Whether you’re a seasoned buyer, a first-time bidder, or simply passionate about classic motoring, the Brooklands sale is always one to watch – and 2025 looks set to end on a high.
To witness the spectacle in person buy a brochure via the website, where you can also register to bid if you are hoping to win your own piece of automotive history. If you can’t attend, the Historics YouTube channel ensures you don’t have to miss out. Hosted by Vicki Butler-Henderson and Head of Auctions’ Mathew Priddy, the channel delves into car culture as well as the always diverse auction line-ups, and it also allows you to enjoy the thrill of auction day via the Live Stream.
