If you're thinking about heading to Barons' 2011 British Heritage sale on September 20th here are a few of the impressive models already included in the sale. Top of the list so far is a simply glorious 1974 Jaguar E-type V12 Commemorative roadster, while there is also a very important Triumph TR2 – originally used as Triumph’s press and marketing car. The Classic & Collectors section (featuring cars not built in Britain) is headed by a 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale.

The E-type is special because it is one of only 50 limited edition models that were built to mark the final production of this quintessentially British sports car. This highly collectable car is, we're told, in outstanding condition, in black with cinnamon hide upholstery. It carries an estimate of £145,000 to £165,000.

The 1954 Triumph TR2 on offer was used by Triumph as the factory press and marketing car throughout 1955. Consequently PHP 727 played an important role in Triumph’s most prolific sales year of the period. It also featured in 'Motor' magazine and in Bill Piggott's book ‘Triumph by Name, Triumph by Nature’. This car carries an estimate of £30,000-£34,000.

Early Rolls-Royce entries include a rare and beautiful 1967 Rolls-Royce Mulliner Park Ward two-door saloon, said to have been in the same family since 1972, and part of a private collection in California for some time. It is offered complete with all of the original owner's manuals, a copy of the factory build sheet, the original colour chip sample booklet and full toolkit. Estimate: £17,000-19,000.
