DodgeRover Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Bawtry the other side of worksop? Are they still going - I thought they closed at the same time as Chesterfield Car Auctions as they were run by the same people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reverend Bluejeans Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 The days of that being a shit paradise are overI think. They’re in Rother Ham now under the pretentious ‘Motor Auction Group’ name even tho there’s only one. The stuff I bought there 1998-2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlabamaShrimp Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Funnily enough there's a car auction just round the corner from me in... Wakefield! Tbh I would guess it's all relatively new stuff as you don't see anything interesting on the transports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the entire catalogue, it consists almost entirely of cast-offs from Arnold Clark, thecarpeople, various car financers, and a Harley-Davidson dealership.

That daft old fart of an auctioneer, taking bids from the wall in that Savilesque accent when there were three blokes and a dog in the hall. Four fifteh bidFour fifteh bidFour fifteh bidFour fifteh bidFour fifteh bidFour fifteh bid I gave up in the end - you couldn't buy anything from him. Used to do Bawtreh as well. I bet Bawtry locals are glad that's all ended. Used to be wall to wall gypos and rigger booted Worksop drones, various shit cars moored up by the Esso station, the owners leaning against the wall like pimps. cobblers, Dave_Q and Alfamale 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main dealer cast offs are 10000000x better buys than private entries or small trader entries anyway - the latter two are definitely fucked as opposed to probably. Unfortunately I would imagine that the scrappy gets the real shite from a lot of main dealers now with auction fees ever increasing - you do see some odd stuff sometimes though alf892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That described Bawtry auctions to a T though! Did you ever go to the general sale (household goods and tat) there?

DodgeRover Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Used to be a car auction in Birmingham that had loads of shit going through, might have been off Evesham Road.

Sounds like Birmingham Car Auctions in Moseley Road. http://www.birminghamcarauctions.co.uk/ Auction fodder has changed in terms of quality* since the days of knackered Sierras and Granadas, but probably not in condition or age.
