The RS1800 would make a fun (but pricey) project.

“Assorted exhausts” should be re-labelled “load of tat”. Do the auctioneers have straight face when writing that down?

I'd guess the only conceivable market for these would be those hippy-type welder / sculptors who make artwork from them. But I suspect they probably have an arrangement with their local scrappies to get them for free.

I wonder if all the "experts" that bought all the tat at the similar auction in Preston will turn up?

I spotted the Peugeot 104 in amongst the listings but there's very little of any use.

This is great - they’re as suitably cynical as any viewer should be!

I don't think I saw anything on there which wasn't simply scrap.

Loved the comment about Pebbledash Beach. They might have an idea there. Not as they described it but one which has unusual and interesting cars which are not over restored.

I enjoy seeing cars from the 50s-70s which look like they could do with restoration but are simply used for what they are.

The festival of the unexceptional usually has 'normal' cars often in unrestored condition.

Thanks for that, I didn't know it existed.

A capri Hearse. Because you need that bit of snazz at a funeral.
