Massive Porsche Collection Going to Auction.

Reader Guy K. sent us a message on facebook about an upcoming auction in the United Kingdom that he thought might interest us. And boy was he right! The auction is being held by Anglia Car Auctions in the United Kingdom and features over 200 Porsches from a private collection in north west England. The auction house is splitting it up with the first 30 cars set to hit the block on August 24th.

The original story that Guy sent us can be found at ClassicDriver.com and according to what they have been able to find out, this hoard includes a number of early 356s, a couple of Speedsters, 911s, 912s, and 914s. Most of these cars are American spec and still have their original US titles. While the collection has been transported to the auction house’s warehouse, seeing all these Porsches together is awe inspiring, even if you’re not a P-car fan you have to respect so much automotive history in one place.

Many of the cars in this collection are in rough shape, but most look salvageable. Auction houses often use the term “barn find” to drum up interest, but we think it is justified here. Seeing this 1956 356 Coupe out in the country helps a bit too. We would love to know more history about this stash and how so many American Porsches ended up in England. Any speculation or rumors as to how this massive collection came to be?

Besides the Porsches, there are a number of other rare and interesting cars crossing the block at this auction. There are even a few American classics on offfer, including a ’72 Dodge Charger and a ’75 Corvette. We wish we could be at this one, but the trip to Norfolk is a long one. If any of you UK based followers can make it, we would love to get an update!
