Classic British and European cars draw bidders and enthusiasts to Lucky Collector Car Auctions' Spring Classic 2025.
British and European automotive history took center stage at the Spring Classic 2025 hosted by Lucky Collector Car Auctions, with a lineup of standout vehicles that captured attention for their rarity, performance, and nostalgic appeal.
Among the most anticipated entries was Lot #180, a 1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom I presented with its original Silver Ghost body. Selling at no reserve, the nearly century-old luxury vehicle brought with it the elegance of a bygone era, drawing interest from collectors seeking pre-war prestige.
Performance enthusiasts were equally intrigued by Lot #130, a 2008 Bentley Continental GT Coupe, showcasing a powerful 6.0L W12 twin-turbo engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. With over 136,000 miles logged, the car reflected Bentley’s dedication to craftsmanship and performance, even with mileage.
Classic British roadsters also had a strong showing. A modified 1980 MGB Roadster (#248) wowed onlookers with a 302 V8 Ford engine swap and modernized features like a 5-speed Tremec transmission and coil-over suspension. “A perfect fusion of British design and American muscle,” one attendee noted.
Lot #129, a 1961 MGA 1600 MkII Roadster, offered vintage charm and restoration potential, while the 1969 MGC Roadster (#231), one of fewer than 2,500 U.S.-bound models, earned praise for its rarity and condition.
Also featured were two Triumphs: a well-preserved 1981 TR7 Convertible and a no reserve 1973 TR6 Roadster (#111), both known for their spirited driving dynamics and accessibility for first-time collectors.
Rounding out the list was the ultra-rare 1960 AC Aceca Coupe (#143), one of the highlights of the auction. With a hand-built aluminum body and extensive ownership history, it was a compelling restoration candidate for serious collectors.
Lucky Collector’s Spring Classic continues to be a haven for enthusiasts seeking everything from restoration-ready projects to concours-quality collectibles—proving once again that vintage iron and British leather remain in high demand.
