Morris Leslie Auction, Errol, Perthshire Sat 18th Feb

[Saabnut]

Anybody else going? I don't plan on buying anything but there are a couple of items of interest so we will see.

Just don't bid against me!

She who must be obeyed says no!

I was planning on heading up today on the auction managers request.

Always better to go the day before to get a good look at stuff.

Had a quick look around earlier, wasn't too much stuff of interest.

Watching on line. Did you buy the silver Saab??!! Or the silver MG for £500 that they pushed through " only out of petrol" ?

Didn't buy anything! No need for anymore moderns (the Saab 9-5s). The c900 'vert went to £600 (but Morris Leslie have introduced a minimum buyers premium of £300 which makes cheap stuff expensive) but has serious rot in the driveshaft tunnels. The Daimler 250 V8 I went for was described as being a non runner and recently taken out of a garage. What they did not say it had probably been in said garage for well over 20 years and a fair bit of trim and the alternator were missing. Lots of welding done underneath to pidgeon standard and much more needed. Made £3600 I think, I would not have been interested at half that figure!

Still, a nice 150 mile round trip in the AX Diesel, and the chips were good!

So as a winning buyer you pay them £300  for the 'privilage' of taking some old tat away! Phew.

I presume they want to make buyers and sellers equally unhappy.

You would think that with some of that extra cash they  would be able to spare a tenner for some petrol to get that  MG instead of pushing it. I mean I fixed the rover recently with petrol , but it was actually out of petrol and not a fucked  non runner.
