If you put together a list of the best-ever British sports and racing cars, the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato and Jaguar D-Type would have to be near the top.

Well, this collection contains both, including two-dozen other mouth-watering classic cars that will kick off this year’s RM Sotheby’s Monterey auction on August 12.

The cars come from the collection of Texas businessman and philanthropist Paul Andrews, who passed away last year. Back in 2015, RM held a dedicated single-collection auction at Andrews’ private facility in Fort Worth, with nearly 80 cars on offer ranging from hot rod Fords to rare Ferraris bringing $52M in total sales. The smaller (but equally interesting) group of cars up for grabs this time includes prewar greats like a Packard Twin Six and a Duesenberg Model J, German classics like a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing, and even oddball trucks like a 1971 Pinzgauer. The real highlights of the group are most definitely the Brits, however, specifically these nine rare Aston Martins and Jaguars.
