The_Equalizer Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 It was a good day out though, I'd certainly go again. I reckon the Bentley T1 was a good buy as it was up with a full MoT, didn't look full of wob, and I watched the new owner drive off in serene comfort. Could've shat itself 3 miles down the road of course! Looks like a dealer thought the T-Type a good buy. It's popped up again here: 1968 Bentley T1 - Williams Classics Nice profit if it goes out the door at anywhere near that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 For anyone who doesn't feel like they can wait another three weeks for their next dose of East Anglian classic auctioneering, there is a classic auction at Wymondham next Saturday. It's a completely different kettle of fish to KL, much smaller and the cars tend to be lower end (a bit like KL used to be before Clarkson & co showed up, in fact), but there's usually a bit of autojumble (including the indefatigable Margaret Motors, still selling overpriced classic car handbooks from the back of her LT van even though she must be at least 140 by now), and there are a few potential gems in the catalogue. And for lovers of two-wheeled chod - it's only a fugging Salient! http://www.eama-norwich.co.uk Squire_Dawson, Fat_Pirate, Semi-C and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodders Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 That does look like a decent auction, with some nice cars going through. It is a shame that I am working next Saturday, as it would have been worth a trip to compare it to Kings Lynn. It looks like there are some interesting lots going through Kings Lynn though. This bronze Maxi could be of interest to some of us on here, and has no reserve. https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/classic/saturday-13th-april-2019/1978-austin-maxi-1750-hl/ This 2.8 Granada looks very smart, but will undoubtedly have high levels of Ford Scene Tax levied upon it. https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/classic/saturday-13th-april-2019/1983-ford-granada-28gl-auto-mkii/ And I hope this low mileage jelly-mould Passat will escape the fate of being pineappled. https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/classic/saturday-13th-april-2019/1991-vw-passat-18l-injection/ Squire_Dawson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I once got from Bristol to Norwich (so further than KL) in 2h45 without driving like too much of a cock. Although that was leaving at 10pm on Boxing Day so the roads were pretty much dead. And before the Smart Motorway upgrades* on the M4 / M25.

RobT Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I'll try and come along to this, assuming I wake up in time. I did consider bringing the Metro, but the forecast says -1 overnight in Kings Lynn so the roads will probably be salted to feck. wuvvum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobT Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I was tempted by this T-series manual Sterling. I even bothered to get a bidding card, but sold for £250 above my meagre £700 limit. No mega bargs today really, or none in Autoshite territory anyway. somewhatfoolish and Six-cylinder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodders Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Not sure I really want to know. If under £5.5k I'd be wishing I was there!I very much doubt it would go for less than that considering the strong prices everything else was going for today. Plus quite a few people were having a decent look whilst we were there, so there would have been a bit of competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
