They want a deposit paid over the phone to ensure you aren't pulling out. The smart way would be just asking for debit card information during registration... wesacosa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-A145R using Tapatalk  My catalogue is out in the car but assume this is the NG900 that sold for IIRC £300. Plus buyers premium of £300 (10% +VAT min £250 + VAT). Tidy bodywork but a replacement rear axle in the back. IMO the NG900 is the worst Saab ever built and the only Saab I have had and not liked. I was not tempted  doug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_Green Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 £1,600 provisional. The back wheel arch is bashed and rusty. Last MOT was 3 years ago. And how do they ventilate that hall? The bidders will all be dead by the end of the day with all those old Jags etc idling.

Saabnut Posted November 18 Author Share Posted November 18 There were some nice cars amongst the grot. In about a week, Morris Leslie will publish the auction results, along with any unsold items that will accept a bid. lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSdriver Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 I took that green carpet to the tip about a fortnight ago, how did it find its way up to Perth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooobydont Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 I didn't realise there was a thread on this. I always go up. The beta coupe was lovely, a white R129 went for about 6k I think, again gorgeous looking car. I felt prices are dropping a little compared to the last few years auctions, not by much, but definitely coming down. It's good day out even if your not a buyer, quite a mix of cars of all ages. Finished it off with a pie in a roll, magic. lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-War cars are a difficult sell. Be interesting to see if they sold/price. Both look like they came from the same ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chap I was there with is friends with the Siddeley owner, he didn't know it was in the auction till he saw it. It's owned by a retired engineer and been his pride and joy for years. I believe he was hoping his grandkids would take over the running/fettling of it but they aren't interested so he has decided to move it on., a bit surprisingly he wasn't at the auction, it wasn't too far off the reserve either. lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he did not want to see it under the 'hammer'. Looked lovely. DavieW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
