90s Hot Hatches
Classic Car Auctions by Iconic Auctioneers witnessed a continued strong interest for 90s hot hatches during their Classic Sale at Wheeler Dealer Live, with strong values reflecting their continued popularity. Demand was led by a remarkable concours-winning 1994 Ford Escort RS Cosworth, which sold for £51,875. Not far behind were a pristine one-owner 1990 Renault 5 GT Turbo, fetching £21,093, and a meticulously restored 1993 Renault Clio Williams Phase 1, selling at £18,000. Meanwhile, a 1992 Peugeot 309 GTi Phase 2 was purchased for £12,375 by YouTuber @autoalex, who plans to feature it in his upcoming series.
Beyond these '90s favourites, the auction featured other notable sales, including a uniquely finished 2006 Rolls-Royce Phantom, securing £76,500. A newly restored Ford Escort Mk1 RS2000, finished in striking Modena Green and believed to have matching numbers was another star of the show, achieving £49,167. At the other end of the scale, a Volkswagen Lupo 1.4 16v used by influencer, KSI, in a Sidemen Car Challenge, and still featuring many props from the video sold for £5,626.
The auction also included special charity lots following the recent tragic fire at Bicester Motion. Memorable experiences, including a dinner with Mike and Michelle Brewer, VIP BTCC tickets, memorabilia from NAPA Racing UK, and tickets to the Silverstone Festival, alongside proceeds from Iconic Auctioneers catalogue sales, raised £6,500 The Fire Fighters Charity and a charity chosen by David Chester’s family.
