Looks too good to be true, even cheaper than UK prices.

Low price estimate to attract bidders?

If you follow it through the sale Mark let us know how much it achieved.

If I'm able, I will follow it online - just need to get the timing right for when it goes through.

Traditionally, auctions are the place to bag a bargain but seems not so with Turners.
The last car I wanted didn't sell as they wanted top retail which was $30,000 over the cost to personally import a car.

We shall see but I'm not expecting I'll be able to steal it

It seems the same on all his former cars.

The estimate on his MGC is $9-$15,000. It should go for twice that.

Sold for $52,500 plus 6% premium.

I had trouble with the online bidding application so phoned the auction consultant who didn't answer his phone!

All of these repo cars had a clause which said the buyer may have additional costs to remove it from the Personal Property Securities Register if the finance company have a claim on it!! yikes A case of buyer beware, so I was oot!

I reckon the Brougham would clean up nicely to make an excellent Beach Hop cruiser.

Elise for sale down here in Hawkes Bay. Nice colour, not seen it around here though.
Was it on TradeMe before, for sale in Auckland?

That seems particularly cheap, especially for a 111S

Ex Auckland car and I know of it. It's had a bit of a hard life (lived outside for years here and was a daily driver in the UK) but it's still cheap as chips. Could spend 5k on it and give it a birthday.
