I did a mental count up on my commute today and reckoned that the number of threadists with Pork derivatives is at least 12. Frankly, I feel aggrieved and left out.

[ferrisbueller]

I won't go and look but one assumes that the 914 has gone from "can't give them away" to "stupid" along with all other Porsches.

That's what I call service.

He'll have to be speedy tho, the parts are flying out, engine is on the bay at the mo & ends in a couple of days, box & calipers already gone.

£11k Z4M

If it's straight it won't be around for long.

Fook!

Please pardon the expletive, but I cannot help myself.

If straight - an absolute steal of a car! Still looks good and dare I say it - on the horrible roads in the UK it drives better than it’s more focused coupe brother...

Wowow, still trying to get over the price...

A tempter, for sure.

I've been looking at E46 M, 996 3.4 and 987 2.9 and the E85 M looks good value.

Popped to Brooklands this morning for their classic breakfast meet. Some nice stuff there including a Peugeot 404 Coupe. I never knew they made one, pretty thing too!

I know nowt about 356 prices but £56K for this little jewel - with a claimed £45K spent on it - doesn't seem like a bad investment to me.

[stuthemong]

L100NYY,

Thanks for posting. WHAT an auction that looks like, so much cool metal! When is the next auction similar to that? Those cars were so cool, that's a cheap day out going to see them driving through*

Stu

. * Cheap, except I'd now own an 840i, Austin Healey a rolls, and this. Definitely this. How come these are so cheap?

https://www.historics.co.uk/buying/auctions/2018-0...

Really tempted to go hunting for one, it's epic!

[ferrisbueller]

Not sure what the additional cost is on top of er price. Probably 15-20%

Good to meet you Fastbug... a very decent turn out of 911's.

Very, very nice.

[Fast Bug]

You too Chris, thanks for coming

I'll post some photos up this evening if anyone is interested, there were some lovely cars at Brooklands yesterday. I tried to get to the auction on Saturday, but sadly got roped in to building a hammock for my mother instead

Auction was not that great if I can judge the results... Quite a few unsold lots and plenty of others sold below or just above the minimum estimate...

Still better than building a hammock though

I think the parisians would miss it.
Two Bitters in one auction! One will do fine thank you.


I'll have the 500E (Jap import - not stated anywhere that I can see on the auction site) to put in the barn and also the Baja Bug please.
I used to have one of those, just a lot, lot smaller.

And if anyone is selling a barn...

[Fast Bug]

I spotted the Bitters, always had a soft spot for those. These take my fancy



26,000 mile Golf is nice

LS1 motor and manual box XJ-C would be a giggle too. Make a good twin test for Harry Metcalfe and his V12 manual one!

Does anyone ever have horrific luck with more than one car at a time?

One at a time is a pain but as if the 7 hasn't given me enough grief the Clio's shat it's fking diff.

Aaaarrrrrgggghhhhh
