Maybe everyone was right about the Christmas Cheer helping it to the 20k last time - there is a phrase in the trade - “your first bid is usually your best bid” - definitely applies to this sale - I’d now park it up till after Easter when people are getting itchy feet for something for the...
What a great article Ed - I Love that Craig is being so honest and I’m sure most people who drive these as a daily driver can relate too - my question is - should they be used all year round now that they are an 19yr classic - parts are expensive and hard to find - values are rising and with...
Sorry Chaps I’ve not had much interest in finding out about the different types of category’s as in the auction world a black mark is a black mark and usually affects the value to roughly half it’s value.
What is a Cat D car?
Cat D (also known as ‘Category D’, or, more recently, ‘Category N’)...
Not sure if I’d want one and especially now they make so much money 💵 - however they are a special car in today’s world.
How much are we predicting - my view 40/45k ish

Take this for instance that’s coming soon with only 38000 miles -
Devanti ditch finders
A engine bay that looks like it went down with the Titanic
Stereo all chewed up - and that’s just from the pictures

I have fully restored a 83k car to a good standard however the mileage would not be for everyone - but having seen some low mileage cars that have been for sale lately I’m sure most will still eat money to make them lovely.
This is more Ed in my opinion especially if he misses the 200 - very nice miles
We could have a trip to see this one as it’s nearly on the doorstep

I’m not sure that’s correct Alex - I’ve bid on cars and they will not disclose the reserve till the auction finishes - they will then try and deal you to give more - also they will reduce there commission if it helps to make a deal.
Only my experience and it may have changed as it’s over 6mths...
