There is a second opportunity to grab a slice of British motoring history when it comes under the hammer at a strong residential auction in Birmingham next month.

45 Anderton Park Road, Moseley, is a five-bed property whose attached three-room coach house has strong connections to early Jensen racing cars, and is again included when the latest Bigwood sale goes ahead on March 4 at the Holte Suite, Aston Villa.

The complex surprisingly failed to sell last time round but the guide price has now been cut to between £375,000 and £385,000 against the previous £400,000 to £450,000.

Brothers Richard and Allan Jensen built individual sports cars on the Austin and then Standard chassis in the 1920s and early 30s.

At the time the first Jensen special was launched, the family was living around the corner in Bloomfield Road and then moved to 95 Anderton Park Road. 

Ron Horton, a friend of the Jensens, was at No 45 and used their special-bodied race cars between 1932 and 1935. The coach house was where he prepared them.

Bigwood director Jonathan Hackett said: "The coach house is part of a substantial investment property.

"We were very surprised that despite all the interest it wasn't picked up before Christmas. With the price significantly lowered it should prove very attractive."

The property stands in just over a quarter of an acre.

Bigwood, recently named the Midlands' leading auction house by Estates Gazette and one of the largest auction houses outside London, is also offering the site of the former Hob Moor Primary School in Stechford, which was demolished in 2007.

It has a guide price of £325,000. The site extends to just over one and a half acres and could be suitable for use as a care home.

There are a host of properties in popular locations on offer - 58 Eastern Road, Wylde Green, is a mid-terrace with a guide price of £170,000 to £180,000; 166 Parkhill Road, Harborne, is also a mid-terrace and is available at £195,000 to £225,000; The Lodge, 2A Moor Green Lane, Moseley, Birmingham, can be picked up for around £60,000; and there is a semi-detached at 53 Lighthorne Road, Solihull, £145,000 to £155,000.

Apartment 65, The Blue Apartments, Broadway Plaza, Edgbaston, has a guide price of £80,000 and is on the site of the former children's hospital.

Flats at multi-storey Caradoc Close, Coventry, at £25,000 to £30,000, look set to attract bargain hunters.

Meanwhile, 170 Hubert Road, Selly Oak, Birmingham, is available at in excess of £135,000 and should appeal to a student landlord.

The auction includes property on behalf of Birmingham City Council, Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council and Wolverhampton City Council.

The following Bigwood sale will take place on May 26 also at Villa Park.
