Anglia Classic Car Auction

[chrisjvm]

No they weren't actually bids,hence my 

 

'Bouncing bids off the wall comment'

 

I was referring to hopelessly optimistic vendors really ...

 

The Tinas estimate was 10-12k ...

 

Therein lies it's reserve.

 

It was in good nick, but nowhere near 10-12k.

 

That's obvs my opinion, a Ford licker may disagree

If you've a barn full of ropey Fiat Uno turbos you're happy to take 7400 for each Then you've a deal.

[Cardinal Wolseley]

Some lovely old stuff there, the pick of the bunch was obviously...

 

 

Looks a lovely example, anyone know what it went for?

[Youngsod]

Would have been disappointed if you hadn't.

Cheaper than a push bike.Well a push bike at ACA anyway.

Did those Choppers go for silly money then? I have to say though, I fell head over heels in love with the Mercedes W108

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Mate of mine has a Mark III Fiesta 1.6S in factory black. G reg iirc.

 

It's for sale. It's nowhere near 5 grand either. Probably under 1500 quid.

The new in box one made over a grand + 15%. The black one started at £400.

[DaveDorson]

What sort of money did the XJS's go for then?

 

I quite liked the look of the red manual one.

I went with giffer from work as he was interested in that one, he asked me to bid up to 3k  it went for a couple of hundred for than that plus fees..

It was in last auction when i got my Rover  

[Fabergé Greggs]

Ah Christ, both the 205 and the BX seemed pretty cheap. I’m an Indiot for not lobbing in a bid.

[Cardinal Wolseley]

Results up now that lovely Wols went for £6,784.....curse my tiny garage.

[95 quid Peugeot]

Just beat me that post by a few mins...lots still seem to show estimate, so either unsold/provisional or the wall at the back has a few

[Tadhg Tiogar]

I was there till 3pm...

 

Couldn't believe some of the prices the auctioneer was bouncing bids off the wall up to ... 

 

Mk 3 Festa for £5300

 

Mk 4 Cortina Geeyah for over £10k iirc??

 

Then there was this....

 

I wish I'd had these, though.... - but cast-iron is heavy to lift by yourself....

[95 quid Peugeot]

Your datsun is now here.

Went on their website Tues

 

Quick 2500 mark up

[wuvvum]

Bloody Nora, that shagged HB Viva went for 1100 quid!!  Glad I didn't hold out for it and stuck my paw up for the Y10 instead.

Flippers. 

[Fabergé Greggs]

Anyone going to the next one ?

 

I like the look of that Astra Turbo 

 

[wuvvum]

Yep, I'll be going.

[skattrd]

I might be, I'll ping barmatt see if he is. 

Worryingly I should have some spare money by then as well.

This looks like a total weapon. I'd genuinely love to have it but presumably it'll b loads of money (also I'm never going to ACA again)

I'll be there.

[Fabergé Greggs]

If anyone wants the buy the MX5 from me at ACA then I’d simply have to buy something to get home in 

[richardmorris]

The 2cv looks decent for the estimate.

[Brodders]

Unfortunately I am working that day, so won't be able to make it.

A shame, as a few interesting things are going through. The Mk2 Astra and 505 both look like interesting lots.

Surely that won’t go for anywhere near £1000

[skattrd]

Some of the estimates on ACA are pure fiction.

I think some are deliberately low to get people to turn up and think they might get it at a bargain price.

[BeEP]

My Austin 1100 is entered for next week (although whether I'll be there as well probably depends on whether they give sellers free entry!).  The lower end of the estimate is the reserve set by the seller (at least it is in my case).  I'd assumed they'd want to see the car before accepting and listing it but they've just gone on my description and photos; I'm not sure what they'd do if when delivered they discover it's nothing like the description.

I've been pretty unimpressed by their lack of professionalism so far, so it will be interesting to see how next week goes.

[Jerzy Woking]

I'll be there-not been there before and haven't been to an auction in a long time.

I see the Astra is still 1598cc according to the DVLA.

[lesapandre]

That should surely be set out in the catalogue...or maybe not. Both as a buyer and seller at these kind of things I think they are a circus IMHO and would never get involved again. 

Unless incredibly rare or cheap surely better to buy off an owner and have a good look or test drive etc. 

I anyway lost interest in 'collectors' cars - our kind of cars are much more fun - spend the balance taking the car somewhere more interesting on a roadtrip. Lots of fantastic cars are still super value, Citroens from the 80/90's, similarly Mercedes from the same era unless sports etc etc.

And lots of these established 'collectors' drive like sheds IMHO. And their owners are  ****** best avoided too!?. Grump over.

 

[wuvvum]

I really like the look of that Aermacchi 3-wheeler pickup thing.  Interesting history too.

[wuvvum]

Hnnnnnngggg...
