Perth Classics Auction Errol Airfield 27th Feb

[Sealtainn]

You can rest your funds in my account and I can bid for you;)

 

So I suddenly find myself the proud owner of a Z3 with a borked autobox, a selection of dodgy HG related issued MGs and several broken tractors

I cannot promise such riches, but there is a Maxi..

[Supernaut]

Put me down as a maybe. Nipping down to Perth and back makes for a good day out and an excuse to drive along Glen Shee.

Nice one:)

[drum]

I'll hopefully pop along at some point.

[DodgyBastard]

A couple of us went along to Errol today for a tour of the cars.

My garage, 1st of March...

[cort16]

That lotus looks nice

 

 

 

 

Chassis number 77100443D - the vendor has owned this example for just over 5 years and he purchased the car with a view to completing a full restoration, but he informs us has been unable (cant be arsed) to accomplish this, he further states that the engine was the subject of a decoke with the fitting of shells and bottom end bearings. The car is offered with an MOT test certificate until November 2016.

Ah hope tae fu*k none of youse are AA members. It could be a loooong weekend.

[Junkman]

Now now.

All nice and well and shiny paintwork makes for good eye candy.

But the really important question is this:

 

Will there be fried Mars bars available upon our arrival?

[DodgyBastard]

Here's the story behind my recent photos.

[Junkman]

Are there any plans* to meet up beforehand for some cullen skink intake etc, etc?

What's the intended timeline? When should we be where?

Kinross has mind bogglingly high indemnity fees which make anything cheap not at all cheap once all their crap is added in.

 

I also found Morris Leslie very expensive last time I went - but interesting to watch!

 

My fave auction for a desperate heap at minimal cash is Inverurie. Some right turds there and low fees. My last was a W reg escort TD with test for 120 quid

[drum]

Are any of the attending southern shitters willing to ferry newly acquired cars from Englandshire northwards?

I haven't bought anything yet but anything could happen in the next fortnight.

[Junkman]

That can be arranged.

I'm now on a course that week meaning OMGOFFICEHOURS!!!

[Guest Lord Sward]

I'm now working that Saturday.

[seacow]

I like the look of the e30 soft top although with that reserve I expect it to be tatty

[Essex V6]

They appear to have cornered thr market in Capris!

 

Like the look of the Guvnor.

The "manual roof conversion", with its novel method of securing the horseshoe certainly is, but otherwise it looks not too bad. Missing two cylinders though. It won't sell for under £1500.

[Spottedlaurel]

Did I see somewhere online that they have an A-reg Laurel listed? Would be interested to know what it goes for.

[seacow]

Did I read on Facebook that there is some kind of gathering at the auction?

I'd come to similar conclusion myself - its probably worth twice that in the summer

[Richard]

It's not looking good for me, I think I'll be working.

[davidfowler2000]

Are folk still doing this? Shall there be a convoy?

[CortinaDave]

Having secured a day off from talking crap between records, me and the Mrs will be at this.
