Silverstone Auctions is offering 18 cars from the private collection of Anthony Hamilton, father of six-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton.

The collection is dominated by Triumph sports cars, with no fewer than six being offered in the sale, including a TR5 and also an extremely rare Triumph Italia. As well as the Triumphs, there are other British classics like an impeccable, MGA Twin Cam, two Swallow Dorettis, a 1932 Wolesley Hornet March-bodied Special, and a couple of Minis.

There are more modern cars in the sale too, including a 2006 Ford GT, and a 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Coupe – a car synonymous with the Hamilton name given Lewis Hamilton's F1-beginnings at the Woking-based McLaren-Mercedes team.

The left-hand-drive, 5.5-litre V8 grand tourer is finished in black and has just under 11,000 miles on the clock and is expected to fetch between £175,000-200,000.

There's also a 1957 Chevrolet Corvette C1, estimated at £75,000-90,000. The car, Chevrolete's first fuel injection car, underwent a full restoration in Idaho in 1996 – one of the most expensive Corvette restorations ever undertaken.
