Is there a better looking ’80s four-seater? The BMW 635CSi must be on the shortlist.

22. 1987 Ford Capri 280 Brooklands (est: £18-22,000)​

If fast Ford prices continue to climb, the days of buying a Capri 280 Brooklands for less than £25,000 could well be numbered.
The 2.8-litre V6 runs, but the car has been stored for a number of years. If you’re keen, keep something in the kitty for some recommissioning.

We think this looks pretty cool for some classic summer fun.
This right-hand-drive Wrangler has covered just 30,500 miles, and Sahara spec means it’s well equipped by the standards of the day. The condition suggests it’s been restored at some point in its life, too.

This tidy-looking drop-top BMW 3 Series has covered just 51,350 miles in the past 33 years.

27. 1990 Ford Sierra Sapphire 2.0 Ghia Auto (est: £10-14,000)​

One owner has cherished this classic Ford and used it sparingly to rack up just 11,900 miles.

It’s a prime cut of British beef for mutton money.

31. 1993 Austin Mini Moke (est: £15-18,000)​

Few classic cars scream ‘summer’ quite like this.
One of the last Portuguese Mini Mokes, this has to be one of the most colourful lots in the 17 June sale.
It would be a brave owner who used the Moke as a daily driver (although it comes with a roof), but it will attract lots of attention on sunny summer drives.

34. 1996 Mercedes-Benz E320 Sportline Cabriolet (est: £10-12,000)​

This handsome Ruby Red E-Class was fitted with the Sportline package from new, with lowered and stiffened suspension for a sportier drive.

35. 2000 BMW M5 (est: £15-18,000)​

BMW fanatics will always argue over which generation of M5 was the best, but a strong case can be made for the E39.
Later generations may be quicker, but arguably none involve the driver like the E39 M5. This example looks purposeful in Carbon Black.

36. 2000 Ford Racing Puma (est: £10-£12,000)​

Number 321 of 500 Ford Racing Pumas, this car needs a scrub and plenty of love to bring it back to top condition.

Originally owned by Sultan Qaboos of Oman, the car was fitted with an Alpine sound system and a fold-down passenger seat in the front. Worth travelling south of the river for.
