R. E. A. L are honoured to offer the Sidnell collection barn finds in our upcoming auction. A variety of motor vehicles from the late Peter Sidnell who rented the same Wiltshire barn for over 30 years and was an avid fettler and classic car enthusiast. The majority of the cars were acquired before the early 80’s through friends and family where Peter had previously helped maintain their vehicles.
Volvo has always been at the forefront of safety technology in cars as well as being very reliable and strong, the Volvo 760 followed the usual brick-like form which you’d know would get you to and from wherever you wanted, no matter what. This V6 estate version is coupled to an automatic gearbox and weighed in at around 1500kgs. Having been stashed away in a barn for around 10 years, the blue body appears to be very solid and the leather interior supplies the usual Volvo comfort. The engine is reported to turn over and produce a spark, but it doesn’t currently run. The Volvo is supplied with a current V5C and a key.
To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on July 1st at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU with viewing on the 29th and 30th of June, you can also join us at our Nostalgia Social cars & coffee event on June 25th.

Vehicles that are un-registered or on foreign plates may require Import Duty and Vat to be paid upon purchase via HMRC prior to registering with the DVLA for a UK plate, if you are not sure please ask. For classic cars over 30 years this equates to 5% Duty on the final value. For cars described as MOT exempt (pre-1983) these vehicles may need their exemption registered with the DVLA.
