Shropshire auction house Hall’s Fine Art of Shrewsbury is changing its weekly sales of general household effects from Friday mornings to Thursday evenings. The change is designed to make it easier for working people to attend. The first sale at the new time will be at 6pm on Thursday, November 3rd. The saleroom will be open for public viewing all day on that date.

A collection of Formula One cars and memorabilia spanning the entire history of one of the world’s top teams is to go under the hammer in December. The hand-picked selection from the WilliamsF1’s reserve collection is to be sold by Bonhams at the WilliamsF1 HQ in Grove, Oxfordshire on December 14th. It is home to one of the world’s foremost private collections of Formula One cars, tracing the seminal moments in the team’s history over the last 28 years. The collection is housed in a purpose-built interactive museum, which opened three years ago. There are now plans to consolidate the museum displays, so the reserve collection is now for sale.

Highlights will include the Williams Honda FW10B in which Nigel Mansell won his first Grand Prix at Brands Hatch in 1985, and the FW14B in which he won six Grands Prix on his way to the World Championship in 1992.

WilliamsF1’s Team Principal, Frank Williams, said: “I am delighted our long-standing policy of retaining our race cars allows us to both maintain a world-class museum collection and release some race cars with impeccable provenance from our Reserve collection to private collectors. In addition to the 20 race cars, there are some interesting additional items such as Renault Clio Williams chassis no 0001 and around one hundred other items which I hope will make the sale of great interest”
