Perth Classics Auction Errol Airfield 27th Feb

[320touring]

aye. looked fairly clean though.

 

the m40s time has come;)

[cort16]

what did the Lotus go for (by which I mean the brown smelly looking one)?

[drum]

1500 ish I think

[cort16]

shit. good job I wasn't there.

[dome]

That w126 500 was winking at me. Good job I've just bought one stupid car or that would've been coming home with me...

did you register? any bargains? I would have paid that for that Lotus I thought it would have went for 2500- 3000 as it had a long mot.

[DodgyBastard]

I bid on this

I won it at £325 but it was provisionally sold until they called the seller and they wanted £450. I walked away empty handed thankfully....

 

Mike (Nisfan) bid on this.

And won it for £725. With fees added and the cost of transporting it home it came to £900 which is still a good bit off what he was willing to spend. Overall a good result.

[Tam]

Fine day out and good to meet a few people. Some random pictures.

I had to work this morning at short notice so didn't make it along... Leyland Tiger to finish preparing for test on Monday and I had to go to the delightful garden suburb of Glenmavis to collect a coach. I will get along to one of these soon...

[dome]

Nah, I deliberately didn't register to stop me buying something... The big Merc went for £1900 ish but don't think it hit reserve. It did look a fairly tidy honest old thing, if I hadn't bought the tiny racecar it would have been a contender. Although I did have my girlfriend thinking I was bringing something home.

 

 

 

As I want a dog too this is a tactic I may have to employ again in the future...

 

 

The Lotus did look quite cool, fuck knows what it was actually like underneath though.

[trigger]

That white 240 estate and Montego with leather look interesting, what did they make?

[drum]

The Torslanda made 2650 and the montego 250. The monty was rotten.

[aldo135]

Only managed a quick nosey as I had mental toddlers to chase round (one of which tried to bid 7 grand on a Subaru!) Will need to come on my own next time. I'll probably still bring quavers though

 

[anonymous user]

Was that a Series 1 107" Land Rover in one of the pics?

[rml2345]

Aye, it went for £11k IIRC.

Can't quite rememver the exact figure on the 240 Torslanda but it was expensive. Missed the Montego unfortunately but would be intetested to know what it did.

 

*EDIT*

That's strong money isn't it! I'm guessing it was something special to be that price?. Also (sorry i keep asking) what did the Mk3 Cortina make if you can remember?.

[Tam]

£10800 and hammer went down so actually sold.

[Tam]

Most hammer prices are in photos. Some with question marks are provisional and most with pound signs are actually sold.

Wow! That's a really high price for a Mk3!

[Tam]

Wow! That's a really high price for a Mk3!

Wasn't there stories around it being the oldest one left or something and recently featured in a Ford magazine.

[trigger]

Oh it's that one! Yeah that was total bollocks as there's older out there.

[Tam]

Yeah I think I imagined the oldest one left bit 

[trigger]

It was listed as the oldest one left but the auction house got so many messages telling them it wasn't that they had to change the listing.

[rml2345]

Some photos. Sorry for missing all the good stuff

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The rest (there aren't many) are here. 

Was a good day out really and some interesting lots. Unfortunately we couldn't persuade Dome to buy an S Class but there's always next time...

[nisfan]

What was that bike that went for around 50k? I have no knowledge on bikes.
Also keep your hands off my motah!!!!!

Fine day out and good to meet a few people. Some random pictures.

 

 

 

[rml2345]

The bike got to £50k but didn't sell. The guide was £70-80k 

[Spottedlaurel]

Good news on the Laurel purchase! Certainly sounds like a good price for it.

[nisfan]

I noticed before buying the laurel that the front lights are not what it should have (i think) i cannot see any other uk laurels with these lights but plenty foreign ones??

The grill is a proper uk one but doesnt fit perfectly with the lights. Previous owner was oblivious to this.
Not too fussed just find it a bit intriguing.

Odd. I can't immediately find any photos I have of UK models with that type. Wonder if there was a problem buying OE replacements at some point in the past?

[Junkman]

I haven't enjoyed myself like this in friggin DECADES!

 

The warmth of the welcome the Schotoshite Massive manages to muster is way beyond anything I could have possibly imagined beforehand.

Englishmen, listen to me. You are missing out. Trust me on that.

 

Next time, I'll book myself a cosy B&B and suggest afters, until an appropriate level of intoxination has been reached.

 

This was bloody brilliant. The whole endeavour today was an experience not to be missed.

 

I cannot possibly thank you lot as much as I would deem adequate.

 

Thank you all! Thank you so much!

That's the lamest excuse I've read ever.
