Not there but checking in throughout they day online thanks to the wonders of modern technology. Shocked to see the low prices of the “emerging classics” (15-30 year old cars). Particularly the E39 540i going for £2300 and there were some seriously cheap Jags (XK/XJ and £1k for 2.5 S-Type!)

There’s a sale up with WB in Newcastle this weekend too so will be interesting to see their prices too.

Not watched Anglia,didn't know it was on, saw the WB list but nothing of interest. What I have noticed is that cars seem to be struggling to reach reserve on SOME internet auction sites. It's strange, you'll see car after car bid up and up but not reach reserve then on another site one after another sells, reserves more realistic I suppose. Ones I've watched this week include Bonhamonline & C&C.

Some low bids at the WB auction, a lot of the no reserve sold at very low prices, not too sure how many of the others sold but most were no where near the guide.

Looks to be some cheap stuff at WB, I watched the Anglia you tube video earlier and there did look to be some cheap stuff there, it looked busy though. Less than 3k for a mk2 Cortina looked cheap.

£5k for an escort van?!

Damn, that 540i seems a steal.

It will be interesting to see how its RS2000 goes today because I wonder if the RS Bubble has perhaps begun to deflate . That said I have been comparing Anglia Auctions with Mathewsons for some time now and for some reason I find Anglia much more to my liking . Happy to be shot down in flames of course but its a genuine opinion .

No bullets from me, the videos are much better, the cars are better, they actually drive into the auction room, the auctioneers don’t say stupid things like it smells right or put disclaimers on everything. The prices don’t attract the Mathewson tax.

Spent a pleasant 4 hours watching yesterday's auction. As some have said some bargains to be had, good job I'd not registered to bid! Looking forward to this afternoons viewing. I went to the last one in November as I was interested in one of the lots, ending up going for twice what I wanted to pay. Good day out though, will probably go again when it's a bit warmer!

Was waiting to see what the 63 C2 Corvette went for. Ended up at £36,000, which is a great buy for a C2. A C2 coupe is the only car I'd sell my 67 Mustang fastback for.

Really?

I'd say given the 'customised' mods, and looks, I'd say it was very strong money for '63 in that condition (even if its a real fuellie, and you'd need some proof of that) as the cost to repair/restore that body back to stock look would be not cheap, and while real fuellie's (and if repaired and returned to its factory Tuxedo Black) would command a good price, I think you'd have to be in the fibreglass trade to consider that a good buy. If it had been a fuellie splitty coupe, then even at that price I'd agree it would be a good buy.
