Mike Brewer sells some of his “Jewels on wheels”: part of his personal collection is up for auction
Mike Brewer is auctioning off part of his car collection and watch out, because they are full-fledged jewels on wheels. TV presenter Mike Brewer has just announced that five of the cars from his personal collection will be auctioned off by Silverstone Auctions.
The auction, which will take place on November 13 at the NEC Classic Motor Show, will feature a total catalog of 130 classic and collectible cars as well as 96 motorcycles and dozens of car-related items. Included in the catalog is a collection of five vehicles by former Jewels on Wheels host Mike Brewer.
The first to go on sale majestic Citroën SM 2.7 from 1972. This SM was bought by Mr. Brewer in a sorry state a few years ago. Following the takeover, the unit was fully restored and subsequently unveiled at the 2018 NEC Classic Motor Show. The car has since won a Concours d'Elegance trophy at Citroën's national event, and has also appeared in an episode of "The Grand Tour" to be released soon.
In second position we have a Mini Cooper 1275 S from 1967, a car that was regularly used by John Cooper himself. The vehicle has a fascinating history, as it was purchased by American car enthusiast Phil Reed, before it was shipped back to California in the 1980s to be added to his collection.
During the filming of Wheeler Dealer in which Mike was looking at Phil Reed's collection, the two came to an agreement and the car was repatriated to the UK more than 40 years later.

Also on the list is a 1961 Austin Seven Mini. The unit is painted in a striking red color and also comes from the Phil Reed collection. After sadly passing away years before, Phil Reed's collection was left in the hands of his two sons, but they did not share the same passion for cars as his father and they were getting rid of cars.
In the listing we find a coveted 1966 Ford Cortina Lotus Mk1 up for auction in excellent condition. The car was first registered in 1966, finished in Ermine White and Sherwood Green. A complete restoration was later carried out in 1999.
The latest car from this spectacular lot to go up for auction is a 2002 Ferrari 360 Spider F1. This car features a Tour De France Blu exterior color over a Beige and Blu interior.
Mike Brewer will offer these vehicles up for auction after deciding that his collection needed a reorganization.
