Event UR Chance To Buy Abandoned Cars In France.

[Bren]

I was expecting a field of abandoned renault 18's.

I don't see any of them that are French. The collector seems to have liked Yank Tanks & British cars better.

They had themselves a grand time removing some of the cars from the shrubbery:

The auction site has been updated with better descriptions of the cars. It turns out some are even French like Panhard & Levassor, Renault, Citroen, and Rolland Pillain. Yes, most of them are messed up, but only 19 shopping days left til they're all gone. If you feel like driving practically to Andorra to fetch a car.

The weirdest thing I've noticed so far is that one of the Continental Mark IIs has the same estimated value as one of the Trabants, 100-200 euros.

There's a Packard straight-8 engine, 2 1940s Packard cars, a Renault 4CV, a Citroen 2CV, a Ford Consul Cortina 1200, and a Simca Coupe de Ville(foreground of above photo).

 

They seem to all have their barn dust still on them except the ones that have been rained on for years. Fright pigs all of them, but I'm sure there's someone hankering after a Talbot Tagora or a Hotchkiss J.A.G Grégoire.

How to register to bid?

[62 Austin]

We should have heard back from someone by now if anyone bid on these fright pigs of the Pyrenees. I liked the two Panhard & Levassor sedans, the Autobiannchi, and the Stutz. All were beyond my ability to get.

 

If all of us had chipped in to by the frumpy-looking red Miura, it would be cool to let one of the AS members who post on "Single & Sad" to troll it around behind their regular car on a trailer - park in various locations - and see if the girl situation improves:

"Yeah........my old man stuffed this in his hanger and forgot, he did. Said she was runnin' fine, but carb No. 5 was acting up. Yeah, 20 years ago. Do you know anything about these cars, miss?"   [fantasy conversation # 115]

 

I tried to look at the site for results and found none.
