Anglia Classic Car Auction

[RobT]

^^Your name all over it.

[wuvvum]

Indeed.  Anyone lend me £3K?

[clayts450]

Curiously, I'm rather drawn to this

If I drag my arse out of bed early enough I might scoot along

[wuvvum]

If you buy that, please post a RobT-style photo of you frisbeeing that wiper blade into the nearest bin.

[clayts450]

I'm aiming to get there between 10 and 11 - I'll either be in the green Rover 620 or red Rover 420, depending on whether I feel like a lazy waft or a hooligan hoon.

[clayts450]

Just setting off - multi-coloured hair, purple hoody, sandals, vacant expression.

[Fabergé Greggs]

Can’t make it today due to excessive hangover, but how does that turbo Astra look in the flesh? 

[skattrd]

I'm not going today either, I'm recovering from man flu

[clayts450]

None too shabby looking tbf

How busy is it there? rammed?

£4k for the Panda seems a lot.

[clayts450]

Heaving. Not sure who else from AS is here. Just stuffing my face outside

BeEP and I were there but just left after his Austin 1100 sold as junior the Princess was getting the hump.

Very good ice cream van ?

[Craig the Princess]

Lovely looking Lancia for sale parked outside.

 

 

[clayts450]

Some nice stuff, but the vague sniffs of chod were still going through at silly money. Once that decrepit Ranger went through for around 2 grand, and the S-type about 1300, I thought this is way outta my league.

Nice battered sausage n chips in the cafe mind, worth* the journey for that alone.

There was a lovely looking MG R-V8 there but suspect that was gonna be a huge price.

Had a good hoon back in the 620 as the A17 and A52 somehow emptied themselves for huge swathes of the journey back.

Didn't spot any shiters whilst I was there.  Came out to find the seagulls had been using my car for target practice. 

Dirty bastards. ?

Radio 4 often sneaks in a 'birds in peril' story about some lesser spotted widget who's habitat is under threat - never a word about the way they crap on my car with unerring accuracy.

[Jerzy Woking]

Really wanted to go to this, but delivering the SV to its new owner (Tobyd of this forum) and delivering my RC8 to the my mate for service and valve check).

Maybe next time...

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.

 

All of that is a valid opinion, and one of the reasons I wanted to sell the 1100 is that it's the one car I've never really done anything to; it was bought as a good car rather than an orphan and whilst I have some good memories of it I'd rather get one of my others into a scruffy bvt useable (rather than fully restored) state. 

I had it advertised  elsewhere for more than a month at £3595 without a nibble.  ACA always seem to get good prices for nice cars so I took a chance selling it through them purely for financial reasons; I certainly had nothing to hide.  It sold today for £4100 before fees.

Anyone see what the Mercedes w124 coupe and 2cvs went for ?

Seagulls: the shiters of the sky.

[Amishtat]

Anybody know what the Volvo 165 made? 

[Craig the Princess]

Is anyone going tomorrow? Had a nose around at the viewing today with BeEP, some shite going through.

 

 

I can almost hear Pavarotti limbering up with this Italia '90 special.

God. I’ve wanted one of them since 1990. I had every bit of memorabilia; from the newspaper cut outs to the small Coca Cola sponsored ball.

I don’t think I’ll ever afford one now though, sadly. 

[BeEP]

As Craig can't make tomorrow I've got a spare catalogue if anyone on here would like to avoid the entrance fee.  I'll PM my phone number to anyone interested, but will be leaving home at 11am and don't have a smartphone so won't respond to any messages after that.

There are a couple of nineties entries I might have a bid on iif they stay cheap; the later stuff hasn't done brilliantly at the last couple of auctions.

[Brodders]

Shame I am working, as although there didn't seem to be much of interest on there a few weeks ago, some interesting lots have popped up. 

This Mondeo Ghia X is ticking a lot of boxes for me. Wood* trim, estate, chrome which doesn't suit the car at all, it has it all. Probably will go for alright money though as these are starting to get a following.

[lesapandre]

That building in the background looks like the kind of place East Anglian personality   Alan Partridge hangs out...

I wonder if there are any Lexi there?

 

[somewhatfoolish]

That Saab 99 is giving me the horn, although I'd definitely be refitting the OE alloys.

[wuvvum]

I'm going to be spending all of today on a bus, so won't be making this one sadly.
