[Rollcage]

Anybody else going to this?

I'm certainly not in a buying mood, but it will be an interesting day out.....

Lots of barge type goodness in there!

Some nice stuff there, an ideal hunting ground for someone to wanting to satisfy that ' Classic Car ' itch at entry level .

I think the guide prices have been set very low, it will be interesting to see what prices are going to be achieved.

I'm going, so will try and capture the sale prices. I'm not a regular there, so don't know the auctioneer well enough to see if he is bouncing bids or not. I'll try and gauge what the market is like on the day - as you say, a lot of the indicated prices are low enough to make a decent market.

A Sovereign V12 with no reserve?

Hi,

Did you manage to note down any prices? Particularly interested in the Alpine?

Cheers.

Hi - sorry for the delay in replying!

The Alpine went for £4500 dead - lack of bumpers and slightly bodged looking front valance counted against it I think. Lovely engine bay though!

As usual, some surprising prices - Cat D 2CV in immaculate condition and having been subject to a nut and bolt rebuild went for over 4k, while there seemed to be no market for the pair of W129 Mercs - struggled to reach 3k each, while the W124 Coupes attracted strong bidding.

Good stuff. Thanks. Fancy another Alpine. Ho hum...
