Among the cars on auction, there is a 2019 Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake, one of 99 cars produced and with only 570km on the clock. It comes with the most incredible list of options to the tune of $173,961 including the Villa d’Este package. Stunningly presented in a special-order Topaz Chrome 2 with a Sahara Tan interior and detailing picked out in gold with Burl Ash veneers. Powered by a 6.0-litre V12, which also comes with a set of Bridge Of Weir leather fitted luggage to match the interior.

Then there is the bespoke Zerouno supercar from Giorgetto Giugiaro’s Italdesign, limited to just five cars. Each car was built to order and this particular example was the last of the five to be made, as specified by a collector with an extensive private collection. This car has never been registered for the road and has only delivery and testing mileage. It is finished in Matte Black with green, white and red stripes running the length of the car signifying its Italian origins.

Next in the list is special Bugatti Veyron. This 2010 Veyron is the Nocturne, one of five made to celebrate 100 years of Bugatti and one that was specially developed for the Middle East market. With just 1,500km on the clock, the Nocturne is identified by the galvanised side windows that continue the polished aluminium line at the front and finishes with the wide rear wheel arches. The main differences to a standard Veyron are purely cosmetic, from the specially polished wheel rims to the dark magnesium dash and galvanised Platinum centre console.

There is an even more special car that is being auctioned. The Mclaren Mercedes SLR 722S Roadster was their creation, bringing together their technical knowledge to produce an awesome road car built at Mclaren’s Woking facility. Only 150 of these cars were made and very few in white with a semi-aniline black leather interior. This 722S was delivered new to the UAE, has just 2,000km on the clock.

Nick Whale Silverstone Auctions’ Managing Director commented: “The list of cars we are offering is quite staggering. Some of the finest high-performance cars you can find with the most incredible list of options.”

“If you are looking for that something special for your collection then you need to be registering for this sale. Absentee bidding is available on the phone, online or by commission. There are cars here that you would struggle to find that have done so little mileage or have not even been registered.”
