The Bonhams sale at the 80th Members’ Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport is as ever a chocolate box of lottery win dreams. From Formula 1 cars to pre-war smokers, to modern rally cars and all manner of sports and supercars from across the decades.

For the fans of more modern machinery, there are some road and rally weapons in the Mosler MT900S and an ex-Richard Burns Subaru Impreza WRC car. It’s joined by a slightly 

For F1 fans there’s a 1994 Footwork Arrows FA14 complete with its V10 engine, and a 2008 Force India VJM01 in display spec, ready to be mounted to a very lucky buyer’s dining room wall.

On a very different note to the screaming single-seaters, a Royal Land Rover that was once charged with ferrying be-crowned folks around from the safety of a bulletproof canopy. The most expensive car in the sale? That’ll be WO Bentley’s “silent 100mph car”, the 1931 Bentley 8-litre tourer, which is expected to sell for between £550,000 and £650,000.

For lovers of ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s motoring, there are plenty of classics to chose from, ranging from Minis to Jaguar E-types, Aston Martins and Porsches. Speaking of Minis, there’s also a very odd Tickford-modified 1984 Mini 1000 HLE, with a radically different front end compared with other Minis. The main change? Big square lights, where the Mini’s cute eyes used to be. An odd one but a fun one for sure. Which is your pick of the bunch?
