Some nice motors here going up for auction on 13th March.

Found in a Bury St Edmunds barn after the owner passed away...

Masserati's, De Thomaso's and Bentley's.....love the Jensen myself..

Those estimates are a joke. I payed £1,500 for a Quadroporte with tax and M.O.T £10,000 for a "barn find" with no log book? Everything is abouve book price come to think of it and during a recession. Good luck selling any of them.

clearly you missed the bit saying "Log books are available for inspection from the office", it was even at the top of the first page.
too eager to see the car pics? hehe

I think the angle was that a real 'barn find' would not have a log book...

I just think its a bit sad that someone has the cash to buy these things, hardly ever drives them at all, bar shoving them in a barn and then dies.........leaving them covered in dust to be sold at a auction

I wonder how much of the Bentleys achieved values were due to the number plates. From what I can see, plates like that start around the 35k mark... guess its all about finding a buyer!
