Classic Car Auction Results | Dave’s Buys of the Sale

Our first classic car auction of 2026 has been and gone, and a few lots stood out as genuine buys of the sale. In this auction results review, Dave takes a closer look at the cars he believes represented particularly strong value. From a 2008 Land Rover Defender 90 to a Ford Escort RS Turbo project, along with a Rover 2000 TC, Vanden Plas 1300 Princess and more, these are the vehicles that caught his eye. Some were sensible purchases, some were standout classics, and some could look like serious investments once their restoration is complete. Were there any other lots you’d include as buys of the auction? Let us know in the comments.
