Anglia Car Auctions 21 Jan Sale...

[XJ13]

Some very nice and unpretentious cars - thanks for posting the link. I too wish I had a big barn and a bag of money.

It would be interesting to know what they all go for. Will anyone be attending the sale and any chance of posting final prices?

No need Neville (now that's some alliteration!). If you go here:-

You can check out the past sale results yourself.

ETA:- Just looked through their last sale, and there are quite a few reasonably priced bikes and cars which didn't sell and are still for sale it seems.

Did anybody check out the auction prices? Most seem about bottom estimate. Sale of the day to me seems to be a 1988 4.5 litre conversion Classic Range Rover at 2730 quid (lot 52). I've seen some silly prices around for these lately. There are a few no sales in there still up for grabs.

They've got a Testarossa booked in for their March sale.

There is a reason why Pininfarina didn't chop the top off 308's but even so this car is worth more than the estimate.

And the auction price was about right imho, have you ever seen one of these conversions with a hood up? They look like a pick-up. Instant devaluation on a normal one. And a £12k engine rebuild on a 308?? You have to go some to do that much damage to what is a very tough V8.

We were asked to value one with a view to consignment when I was working for an auction house, safe to say the vendor had a very different idea of its value to us, beauty being in the eye and all that.

Have to say big respect to them for the accuracy of their guide prices, not bad at all!

In the March sale - 1985 Bitter SC 3.9

originally owned by Edwin Starr, 39000 miles

ESTIMATE: £5000 - £7000

I have no idea if they are any good, but for that price or a second hand Focus you get a very exclusive car with a celeb ex owner!

[terenceb]

Like a Capri with J Lumley as first owner?

I have to agree - when I have been to previous sales, their estimates have proved very fair.

Bitter are a bit rarer than Capris though!

I have no connection with the firm, though have attended their sales previously.

Some interesting cars going through!

http://www.angliacarauctions.co.uk/classic-auction...

37k For a 2.8i Special Capri with 25k miles .Madness !!!!

And MK1 Broadspeed Capri looks suspect , normally Broadspeed Capris had Extra fog light moulded into bumper ???
Only way to check is the VIN numbers ...but only early mk1 capris these were just riveted plates easy to change out ??

The Mk1 Escort that went for 4k was a bargain
