Mathewsons December Auction
Discussion
Absolutely, I mean not sure where they came up with the estimate for this - more holes than the Bismarck and last MOT expired 4 years ago?

Yup looking at the history lots of rust around seat belt mountings! Pretty sure these are ladder chassis so that'll be body rot. It's also a deaseasal as well which is surprising.https://www.mathewsons.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-103--...

Not sure about the wet appetite... https://www.mathewsons.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-294--...
Can you turn up and browse or do you need to pre-book? I dropped by the same estate a short while ago to visit another business there and noticed the new rope barrier across the warehouse door. You used to be able to just browse around but expect that got quite popular and difficult to manage.

Has that been in before? Sure i saw it last time I was actually round the place (BP - before Pickering).https://www.mathewsons.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-294--...
Was the Doly Sprint I was curious about. last Mot 10 year ago and probably fresh paint. Had a Doly years ago but not a Sprint, nice enough car, I know where they rot.

It is very interesting.https://www.mathewsons.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-294--...
Needs to be fitted with a proper set of real Minilites rather than those nasty GB alloys though.
Also, they are claiming 4367N/ACG6 is oldest surviving home market TR7?
What happened to 366N/ACG5 then, which was up for sale as the oldest TR7 about 3-4 years ago...here?

I watched a fair bit of the Manor Park auction online at the weekend.
Lots of stuff coming in 30% plus below the estimate- seemed to be anything that was not a "modern Classic" taking the hit.
I wasn't sure if MPC were bullish on their estimates or if there is genuine softening in the market.

The last few times I’ve been you have to register in the office upon arrival, give them your reg no, tell them which car(s) you’re interested in and sign a form. They then give you a hi-vis tabard and direct you to which building/yard the vehicles you’re interested in are. There’s staff member(s) in each location to keep an eye on visitors etc. At the end of your visit you return the tabard and are signed out. It’s quite an interesting day out

Unusual colour for a Sprint but it all appears to be there . I would want a closer look at those front wings and the coolant . Very undervalued for what theyWas the Doly Sprint I was curious about. last Mot 10 year ago and probably fresh paint. Had a Doly years ago but not a Sprint, nice enough car, I know where they rot.

d barge lexus. So much want...The 944 turbo has potential. Doesn't look that disastrous, is a late model with low miles (assuking it's correct) and whilst a bit of a mess the bits seem to be there. I couldn't see any obvious rust in the sills but it would bear closer inspection. For an estimate of £5k that could be a good buy (could be an absolute money pit too as it's really easy to spend alot on one of these apparently...)
