Lee Young, Managing Director of Dore & Rees and Susan Rumfitt announce that they will be holding joint auctions at Dore & Rees’ auction salerooms in Frome. This strategic partnership will enable them to work on two joint Jewellery auctions a year in addition to continuing their individual successful businesses under their own leadership.

Record breaking prices keep rolling in for Frome auctioneers Dore & Rees with the highest priced lot ever purchased on the premises - 1959 Gibson Les Paul ‘Burst’ - selling for £172,000 on Wednesday 16 March.

Often regarded as the finest of W.O.Bentley’s efforts (and let us not forget this is one with an exceptional Curriculum Vitae), the Lagonda V12 was by far the standout British model of its day, seated firmly in an exclusive club of 1930s road cars that could exceed 100mph in standard tune.

It is remarkable to think of the effect the E-Type had on the world when launched in 1961. At a time when 70 mph was considered perfectly rapid enough for a family car, here was a British-built sports car which could hit a claimed 150mph!

Paintings by the British artist captured the hearts of many followers including Royalty
