To give you an idea of what we’re talking about, within 15 minutes of entering the first of what felt like countless halls, we’d spotted one of the world’s most original Bentley 4½ Litres, an original Ford Fiesta Turbo that looked as though it was one petty crime away from an anti-social behaviour order, and a brand-spanking new Porsche GT2 RS (we didn’t dare ask to see how much over list price it was advertised at).

Arguably one of the greatest drivers of his generation, Jochen Rindt was a force to be reckoned with in the 1960s and ’70s. In the fiercely competitive Formula 2 series, the German-born Austrian racing driver won 22 races, and he even claimed overall victory at Le Mans in 1965, sharing a NART-entered Ferrari 250LM with Masten Gregory. Driving for Lotus in Formula 1, Rindt won five races in 1970, before he was killed in a tragic accident at Monza — he was posthumously awarded the World Championship.
