Anglia Classic Car Auction

[Essex V6]

Loving the red 2.8i (as used to own one identical), the MG Maestro looks fit and also the 205 GTi 1.6

[Timewaster]

Very good that I am on call today and can't go. That 205 has my name allover it.

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.

I was open to the possibility of being wrong, but I didn't expect to be this far out.

It looks like the entirety of Norfolk decided to go to the beach for the weekend, as this isn't the only suspiciously low price from the day. It's almost as shocking as this £500 Range Rover.

Or this £1k Gazelle. Although they are largely forgotten, even by Rootes Group standards, that still seems like excellent value for something of that era in decent enough shape (rear bumper aside).

From what a chum said on Twitter, that Mondeo was actually quite ripe and the pictures a little deceiving.

The Italia 90 Panda went for £1200 which makes me quite regretful though... 

[Tadhg Tiogar]

This was an interesting result. Very low mileage as well.

Is that one owned by Patrick? Could be the one Roger Bradford was selling in ~2000 for £15000 and even lower miles.

No idea. It was flagged up last week on a CX Forum and, as I was driving my own CX to and from Market Harborough on Saturday last, I was unable to monitor the goings-on.....

As a side note, Roger Bradford passed away a few years ago.

His son is a friend of mine.

Yes- tragically at goodwood. I sold him my last cx in exchange for a newish C5. And indeed bought my first CX from him. His son isn’t in the trade though is he? I don’t recall meeting him at ccc events.

No, he's a petrol head but not in the trade.

The only time I met Roger was when he came to buy my bosses CX. He spotted every fault, every bodge and every rust spot in the first 2 minutes, made a low ball offer and I've never seen my boss cave like that before.

A true dealer! Blind selling, but a hawk buying. 

Actually that’s probably unfair. I liked him and nearly bought a couple of XMs from him ( best being a manual black prestige with black leather and the wobbly starfish alloys). Sadly he wouldn’t px the c5 he’d sold me. The other was probably one of the last XMs registered being a W reg petrol turbo. Perfect history and 60,000 miles, but the same advisory for several MOTs of a leaking rack. Plus recent bills of £5000 put me off. 

Sadly missed.

[Timewaster]

Anyone there today? 

I've seen a video on Facebook of the 3dr Cosworth making £80k!

 

[wuvvum]

Yep, that got quite a cheer.

This is the only photo I took at the auction.  Doesn't quite do it justice tbh - I don't think my 'phone camera could cope with that much beige.

[Aston Martin]

How much did Panpan Campervan sell for?

[wuvvum]

Dunno - missed that going through - was discussing the blatantly rung "1972" 5-door Range Rover Vogue behind it.

Result inc Premium: £2,862

 

Not that bad.

[RobT]

Catalogue is filling up nicely for the next one on the 25th January.  Nothing remotely close to three figures mind.

[BorniteIdentity]

Be me. Browse catalogue. “Oooh Capris”. Look at two side by side. “The nicer one is far cheaper LOLWUT?”. Baffled.co.uk. Check sofa. No brass. No brass=No dice. Cry. 
 

Anyone want to group fund?! 
 

Thought not.

 

[lesapandre]

UAZ looks fun. The rest...mostly very predictable old tat for lots of £ IMHO. I would say all 90's onwards cars very susceptible to upcoming tax and legislation changes particularly around the environment. No idea how the 'Classic Motorshow' in London will function after ULEZ - perhaps folk will just pay. If you want an investment* stick to older stuff maybe?

* I may be wrong.

This is why we here stick to more offbeat cars?

Give me a C15, AX, XM, W124 at 10% of these prices any day.

[wuvvum]

This auction is 2 days before pay day.  Probably a good thing.  That early FSO would be winking at me otherwise.

[BorniteIdentity]

Who’s going? I’ve never actually been and am trying to fill the diary with lots of fun so January flies by. 

[ProgRocker]

I keep meaning to go along for this for a gander but keep putting it off.

I never realised that FSO were making the 125p as early as 1971. Capri 1.3 Cameo - Word Up!

[Timewaster]

Another one I can't get to. I'm starting to think my work rota and their classics calender are in sync somehow. 

Probably not a bad thing.

C'est possible as I'm off work that week. Wouldn't mind another helping of sausage and chips from the cafe - very nice chips. And lots of old cars. Good day out.

What’s the LDV Maxus doing there? Strangely appealing, mind 

[wuvvum]

The LDV Maxus is a timeless classic - everybody knows that.

Yes and what’s extra special about this one is you could buy it and immediately lock yourself up in the back for your sins.

That Caddy soft top looks cheap.......well in the catalogue anyway
