We apologise for not keeping you all abreast of the market place. We have sold two very original 4.5 litre cars, both with their original Vanden Plas Coachwork. We are in discussion with a potential buyer on a very good, seven owners from new 4.5 litre four-seater Sports Tourer (replica bodied), priced very decently at £350,000.

We have been asked to sell a very good original bodied Vanden Plas 3 litre, with bullet-proofed engine, which we can offer at a little over £200,000. We can also offer an exceptional heavy-crank, original Vanden Plas Sports Tourer 4.5 litre at £525,000.

On the broader market, we hear that two Speed Sixes have just sold in the London trade. Bonhams failed to sell the three Vintage Bentleys at their recent December Sale at Brooklands, but we were not particularly surprised as none of the cars excited us. Clearly, the turmoil in the Eurozone is dominating sentiment at the moment and it is very difficult to call the result.

We offer all of you our very best wishes for Christmas and the New Year and look forward to an exciting 2012 !
