Anglia Classic Car Auction

[barrett]

Can anyone tell me WTF this is all about??? It's so intriguing! I did a bit of googling and apart from one of these blokes being a bit of a daft racist on Twitter I can't see anything to explain any of this. Where they going round selling cars and pretending to be ACA? We must be told!!

[meggersdog]

Jim Ronan can be seen as the auctioneer for WB and Sons in Newcastle.

As for Rob George his (ex) wife is the sole company director. Probably difficult working conditions.

[Timewaster]

On again at the moment, watching on YouTube.

This week's auctioneer appears to be Joe Pasquale's brother.

Years ago someone on here bought a white Renault 16 from ACA. Whatever happened to that car? Never saw a thread on it so i always assumed he/she was sold a pup.

[wuvvum]

It was @barrett.  I think it's still around. 

[barrett]

Aye, twas me. It got lots of use when it first arrived and for a brief period was my only working car. Went to France in it about 3 weeks after buying it, and then all over the country to various things including a Fesitval of the Unexcpetional. It's fantastic! One of the best cars I've had. Sadly, like most things, it eventually just got pushed into the big shed and left for a couple of years. I tried to start it recently and the engine is *slightly* seized from sitting in less-than-ideal conditions. I don't think it's anyhitng too serious but the result is I just shut the door and left it, where no doubt it will sit for several more months until I'm next up there. Ho hum.

(I think it's probably a better car than a DS)

Just watching the live auction now, crazy prices for some pretty humdrum cars...

An example 2k for a 2003 206CC a couple of years ago wouldn't have cleared £500... and over 2k for a 2001 VW Caddy van

Not been watching, but thought I'd have a look at the link and catalogue.
Been looking for a Passat GL5 Estate for a while and one is about to go through shortly. (Lot 665)
weirdly had just searched EBAY prior to watching,
Will see what it goes for £7500 to £9500 estimate seems high, 
Sold my last one years ago for £450

Has the 2cv van gone through?

One bid. £4800

[Spottedlaurel]

Manta A that'd been in storage since 1991 (by coincidence the year I bought my rusty example) apparently went for £5,400.

[richardmorris]

Anyone bid on Chris reas artwork?

[gadgetgricey]

The Red Volvo estate barn find on Jonny Smiths channel, just went through for £5000 but no sale (Estimate was £5500>)

[gadgetgricey]

Passat just went through. Rear shocks seem shot, seemed to wobble as it drove in.
No sale at £5700

[wesacosa]

the Audi coupe for £500 looked a bargain 

[richardmorris]

What about the world of pain alfa Montreal?

grand marquis 2900 woof

[wuvvum]

Anyone going this weekend?  Looks like there are a few interesting lots going through, including a scruffy 1977 Civic and a nice looking earlyish Beta saloon.

[Jessicus]

Not going to Anglia - but sort of seriously thinking about bidding on the Talbot Horizon  - looks pretty good to me.

[D.E]

This is beautiful!

Quote

This rare coupe was retained by the second owner from October 1937, when it was four months old, until 1999.

 

[ProgRocker]

I papped the Passat GL5 5 years ago from the top deck of a bus. Wunderbar! 

My dad actually liked these Passat B2s. Were on the shortlist for next used family car in the late 1980s despite not being British.

Isn't being a daft racist more or less compulsory on Twitter?

I was wondering why this Bornite S500 would only be estimated to reach 2500-3000 quid until I read the description and saw this:

not sure what looks worse, that pillar or the hideous black and silver plates

[JJ0063]

Just having a browse through this weekends classic catalogue, some lovely stuff going through! 
 

Had a quick scan of the moderns and this caught my eye, £3200 BIN for what appears to be a very tidy pop top T4 is extremely cheap, equivalent with pop top on the open market is at least double.

History looks tidy, same owner for quite a while. Wonder what the story is? If I’d sold my 335, I’d certainly be going for a nosey round it. Never bought an auction car but the cliche stories worry me.

[Nullzwei]

The restored 1968 Renault 16 in ACA'a august auction is pretty spectacular. Those seats!

[EyesWeldedShut]

I had a hankering after an SLK but now have to get the sproglette's FreeLoader up and at 'em so I'm banned from bidding on anything for a while 

did wonder why this is in the listings tho' ??
