Barons auction results...market finally cooling?
Discussion
Having been to a few classic auctions, I feel that the reason a lot of auctions cars don't sell is for a few good reasons.
a) They're tonced up old stters.
b) The owner is on drugs with the reserve
c) The auctioneers wouldn't know a good car if it ran them over
d) The folk with the $$$$ only want the best.
H&H is the worst with some real old toss. To me, a lot of auctions are dumping grounds for crap. At the NEC a couple of years ago, the auctioneers there (Barons? Coys?) were selling a Daytona Yellow Mark 1 Mexico. There wasn't a straight panel on it. It was rubbish. A guy flew in from Dublin to buy a Capri RS3100 described as being the best assailable. A complete pile of st -the door shuts had been sprayed with artex.
