Anglia Classic Car Auction

[wuvvum]

I think the T&Cs said Wednesday next week for the deposit(s) to be returned.

What a stupid system, valid credit card details should be adequate for this. That R17 is winking at me.

What crack pipe smoker just bought a Seat Marbella?

The auction is live on you tube this weekend. 

Normal insanity prices. 

1999 Polish Fiat 126. £4k!

I just saw an Alfa make double its estimate at £19K

[Timewaster]

But just £750 for a very tidy looking 205GRD

[RobT]

Sold at £1,500.

[Floatylight]

Just watching today auction on the YouTube, early days but most stuff failing to reach reserve..

[MrGTI6]

That was a stressful watch but my Rover appears to have sold! I hope it's going to a good home.

Maybe it was someone who couldn't find a Panda?

[wuvvum]

Bump.  Anyone going this weekend?

[wuvvum]

Nope?  Just me then.

This is Autoshite; cars are the last thing people are interested in.

Yep, will be there tomorrow but not Sunday.  One car I'm interested in bidding on and a couple of 'reserves'.

Yes, I was there today and seeing as I got a bidder number will be there again tomorrow. Used to be a fiver deposit for a bidder number......Not now, bloody hell how much ?  The scruffy bloke with the beard and Alice band in his hair arsed about with the card machine. I told him four times (my mate said it was five) that he'd got the till roll in the wrong way round. As he tore their receipt off the roll came out of the machine. Then it wouldn't print my receipt. Really gives confidence that you can get your deposit back.

I was likewise concerned about their ability to sort out the deposit refund so decided the solution was to buy something!  Namely this, probably the cheapest lot to go through today...

Was good to catch up with @wuvvumtoo

[wesacosa]

slightly off topic but I went to Manor Park Classic auctions the other week, having been to Anglia a few times in the past, and was surprised to see there was no fee to attend the auction, no fee to register to bid and no deposit required. 

Cinquecento looks nice.  I saw the yellow Siecento sporting went for a reasonable price too.  Was surprised to see that flipping bangers XM go for £2700 too

[hairnet]

I don’t trust myself to not come home with something I don’t need… 106 GTI.
 

Couple of nice looking Mk1 Mondeos and a Bedford Rascal camper.

I may go on Sunday.  Couple of things I'm half interested in, but worried I'll do the same as last time and come home with something completely different!

It's not hard, given that you need to pay a £500 deposit just to get a bidder number.

Then again, you will have £4,650 burning a hole in your pocket...

 

Edit: or not...  

[ProgRocker]

I like the red 1992 Volvo 440 auto they have. 

[JJ0063]

Just browsing the upcoming modern auction this week 

 

L322 RR are pennies now.

https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/modern/wednesday-3rd-august-6pm/auctionvehiclemodern?id=696459

£1300 BIN, bit more rust than most I’ve seen but an early model that hasn’t been chavved up. Seems a bargain.

 

[JJ0063]

£1800 BIN for a 2 owner XJ with decent amount of history. If I was in the market for a sub 2 grand car and the history included the belts being done.. I’d be looking at this. 

[JJ0063]

https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/modern/wednesday-3rd-august-6pm/auctionvehiclemodern?id=696519

£975 BIN for a 59 plate Alfa Mito with 66k and 3 owners

Seems a very good deal to what in my eyes looks like a brand new car in that shape
