Anyone Heading to Morris Leslie Auction tomorrow in Perth? Contains XXX Volvo Content

What about Blackadders old Merc 6.9? How much did it go for?

[cort16]

I think it was over 10 grand. It was nice but the rear arches had filler in them too.

What did Fireball XLJag fetch?

[kinkersaab]

The old jag is hopeless, I know the last owner who had it for years and never seemed to get it running, best avoided.

I can't remember exactly it was less than £500. There was also a fair bit of grot around the rear wheel arches.  I wandered in and out the hall as lots I was interested in came up as. They seem like a pretty slick auction though, more organised than the ones around here

I like the Volvo 740, but £1750+ for that one?

I went up and took pics for ccb mag. I think the red volvo went for around 1600 all in including commiion etc. When i find me catalogue that i wrote the prices on!!! i will see for sure as i think the volvo was sold after the auction ie it was a provisionally sold. i think from memory. I was stunned at the price of the merc. However the german chappy who paid 1500 for the blue rolls with a power steering leak may or may not have got a bargian. He certainly had a good look over the car. He told me he didnt buy the tr7 as the cost of the car and shipping it back would have been to much. I always like Morris Leslie auctions. The blue Granny wansnt as good as it looked. It has been sitting about for nearly 3 years. Saw it 2 years past inseptember at Inter city auctions.

I thought the Volvo went for more than that? I bloody missed that Rolls Royce as I was outside wandering around. Probably for the best.

 

That Merc's up for sale on the and Carandclassic website for £6950. I can't remember exactly what it sold for but once you include commission there can't be too much profit left in it.
