Mmmmm.
i did go to the auction.
but after seeing stoopid paying bidders from previous auctions, i came away very early. (work to do).
if you like, i could see what was to come.
the opal was stoopid enough.
but the A40 sports was just mad, the car looks well restored. but it had brocken its back. neither doors would close. so all that work would have to be done again to put it right.
most of the cars were real bags of c r a p.
and the hype through the media probably didnt help. or even the auction suggesting affordable classics.
personaly i was there to look at the classis estate cars, for myself. but only 2 were worth having after doing the worrk. the engine wouldnt turn on the vauxhall velox, and the floor was very thin and covered in underseal on the vauxhall delux.
if they were as suggested, from the jaguar museum. they were in there for one reason only. they were no longer road worthy, or worth making roadworthy.
never mind, theres plenty more fish or even estates in the sea. tony
