LightBulbFun Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 most amusing/interesting thing for me is PPU226K since it shares a registration series with the first Invacar Model 70's (shown is Invacar Model 70 number 2, sadly PPU521K does not show up on the DVLA but I strongly suspect it to be Invacar Model 70 number 1, unless that happened to be registered on its own or such) HMC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirton Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 "Parking on field, weather dependent,4x4 recommended". A boat may be a better transport option. Possibly only for veterans of a wet FoD? That eliminates me then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strangeangel Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Do like this, bet it makes a tidy few quid... This looks ace, I've never seen one before! Bet it's toast though Hello!

captain_70s Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Looks like at least some of the stuff has either been stored undercover or not been there very long. I doubt anything will be cheap though, given most of the cars are "proper classics" it'll be flippers galore I reckon followed by weeks of eBay "barn finds" at inflated prices (probably more than the guy paid for them in the first place).

MrSchwifty Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 DVLA confirms NUT497W is a petrol 504, first registered in 1980 - so a very late one indeed! So that's an XN1 petrol lump, on an auto box. That will be utterly woeful on fuel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have something planned already for that day, and no surplus cash. Would love the 104 or the LHD avenger estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BL Bloke Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Unsurprisingly I've found myself attracted to the beige Allegro. https://www.easyliveauction.com/catalogue/lot/fc1e2b53cd154079f9dd9b0bffd31a91/0af8d24542e81eb9357e7ef448a6646f/vintage-and-classic-cars-to-include-many-ford-mk-i’s--lot-191/ Floatylight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quicksilver Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 As seen in a compound at Bicester Heritage in April 2018. The black Hereford, Standard Companion, dark grey Somerset and Allegro are all in this auction. Classic collection by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Classic collection by Adam Floyd, on Flickr As is this Visa B527 XDV - 1985 Citroen Visa 11RE by Adam Floyd, on Flickr The auctioneers' descriptions look as hopeless as most of the cars. Clearly not their area of expertise and not exactly confidence-inspiring. Six-cylinder and outlaw118 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asimo Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 And utterly the wrong time of the year. Bids surely would go much higher on a hot dry day in July? This is not far away from me but I won't be going, I find all that decay and neglect too depressing. Wouldn't it be better to simply get a shredder in to humanely clear the lot?

The Visa 11RE was said to be part of the Hull collection purchased by Jaguar, but did not enter the sale as it was reserved for the apprentice scheme at Bicester.

Yoss Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 For once that actually falls on one of my Saturdays off, I only get one in four off. Looks like an interesting day out. I have no intention of bidding on anything (except the GT6 perhaps but that's gonna go way over my limit) just looks like an interesting pile of shite and maybe a last chance to see them before they all go for scrap (after the bidders realise the terrible mistake they've made).
