Have you got Cash In The Attic Asks Governmentauctionsuk.com

Kevin Mason of Governmentauctionsuk.com is advising people to search in their lofts for hidden valuable motoring memorabilia.



Specialist such as H&H Classic Auctions says that pre-War motorsport items, programmes, signatures, photos and clothing are the items most in demand now as well as some specialist post-War items, such as Aston Martin brochures as well as pre-1970 Dinky or Corgi models.



Kevin Mason of Governmentauctionsuk.com adds that modern items don t generally fetch high prices unless they are linked to a prestigious name such as Ferrari. And just because a piece of memorabilia is old doesn t necessarily mean that it s valuable. Since the 1980s buyers have become more discerning, so the prices for the best items have rocketed while those of less desirable objects have plummeted



Few pieces of automotive art are valuable, according to Mason, but good quality originals are still rising in price, and an original Gordon Crosby could be worth a lot. There is a steady market for garage ephemera such as enamel signs and light boxes if they are in good condition. Dashboard instruments for early vehicles are popular and spare parts for prestige pre-War cars such as Bentleys and Rolls-Royces are sought after. There is always a demand for interesting manufacturers handbooks and workshop manuals too.



Some examples of recently auctioned pieces include: a 1929 Rolls-Royce Owners Handbook which sold for £440; a 1908-1913 RAC Member s Badge for £715; a 1958 BRDC Dinner Dance Menu signed by Mike Hawthorn, Colin Chapman and others for £1210 and a 1949/1950 Austin Pathfinder Pedal Car which sold for £3080.
