80% of the lots in Hampson’s 9 March auction at Bolesworth Castle found new homes, with a spectacular 1967 Ford Mustang once owned by football legend Thierry Henry achieving the highest price on the day.
With this fantastic sale percentage, an expanded sales and operations team now on board and its second Marketplace online time auction going live later this month, Hampson’s is already building on the upward trend the company established in 2024.
The ex-Thierry Mustang is a glorious machine and one of just a handful of officially licensed Mustangs built to replicate the famous ‘Eleanor’ from Gone in Sixty Seconds. Instantly recognisable to devotees of the iconic automotive action movie and possessing the all-important official sanction of Gone in Sixty Seconds producer, Denise Haliki as well as featuring her Sharpie inscribed signature on the dashboard, this highly impressive piece of Americana sold for £140,625.
Snapping at ‘Eleanor’s heels at the top of the sale results was the superb 2021 Audi RS Avant Carbon Vorsprung. This 803bhp beast boast a sub three-second 0-60 time. Offered at No Reserve, it not surprisingly generated spirited bidding before selling for £68,625. Also offered at No Reserve, the head-turning bright yellow 1972 De Tomaso Pantera achieved third highest price of the sale – £63,000.
The full results from the 9 March sale – along with the remaining, highly desirable vehicles still looking for new homes – can be viewed on www.hampsonauctions.com.
Managing Director Zach Hamilton said “I’m delighted with this result. 80% sold is a tremendous achievement and a testament to our focus, established in 2024, on ensuring we offer ever higher-quality vehicles in our sales. We had already bucked the national trend by showing a steady percentage increase last year, and it’s fantastic to have taken this even higher.”
