Why bring up a different vehicle to the one being discussed.If the discussion was about a Ford Escort you wouldn't start talking about Granada's would you.....we'll you would obviously rofl
The discussion, was vaguely about Dino’s, but you are correct in your analogy, point taken. I wasn’t having a dig at you.
Sorry for bringing the 206/246, 208/308 thing up, I genuinely thought you were confused about what was being discussed. To muddy the waters further, the 'Dino' engines were allegedly the brainchild of Dino Ferrari, although designed by Vittorio Jano. These v6 engines were raving engines but ultimately ended up in cars as diveres as the Dino, the Fiat Dino and the Lancia Stratos, so they went from jewell like 1.5s up to 2.4The discussion, was vaguely about Dino’s, but you are correct in your analogy, point taken.

Last night's showed the market is cooling. Noted the Bond Bug in a few shots.
Another extrication incident with the mini. Expected £4K reached £1300. Having had a few over the years and that one having sat in a "dry" barn I still expected it to be rotten.And it was. 10K miles or not.
The RO80 was a nice old motor. liked them when current. Most ended up with a Ford V4 in the front. Seller mentioned £40, expected £15k, got £10k
Would have liked to have seen more about the fate of the Aston.
Had it on record a I'd been out collecting my wife. Was wishing the end of the prog would come so I could get some sleep.

Apparently that was the 100th episode of B&C and to be honest, it felt like it.
The Mini was a borderline re-shell really, wasn't it? Though, that blue Cooper from the first ever(?) episode saved without a shell, so.
I also would have preferred to see a follow up on the Aston, rather than some div on a bike.

I thought the 'Quickly' was good fun and a happy buyer. Did I hear that he bought the RO80 as well?
I thought the Mini was a bargain in spite of the rust. All that welding would be a pain but I reckon most of the bolt on bits would be saved.
+1 on that Aston, it just seemed to vanish into the ether!
Date of the auction would be a help if we want to pontificate about values.
Thursday is becoming my favourite TV night....... Bangers at 8, Warbirds at 9 then a re-run Car SOS. If I manage to stay awake.
The Fairey Swordfish was a gem. Imagine 3 blokes in an open cockpit with just a machine gun and a compass, patrolling the North Atlantic.

Its almost impossible to tell, as the editing is now so mixed up, each episode could be mix n match from across a huge time frame.Date of the auction would be a help if we want to pontificate about values.
At one point Dave moaned about the heat, so likely it was on one of the few hot days last summer that snippet was filmed, but who knows for the rest.....
The editing was piss poor regarding the Aston as well, as at one point the film showed the dusty DBS, but the narrator mentioned DB6, and then they cut to Derek's DB6, and then to Derek talking about the DBS but standing next to his own V8 (with the ghastly wire wheels)......
Liked the Ro80 though, looked to be in nice condition....but very much a niche market. I would have expected them to be bought and sold within the small circle of the owners club rather than a commercial auction......which is why it probably only hit 10k.

What they didn't tell you was that the barnfind Mini went through six auctions between July 22 and March 23 before it finally sold.
Not unsurprisingly though given all the rot and the amount of time & effort (and money) the buyer will have to put into it. I know for a lot of restorers their interest stops once the car is finished and back on the road but I can't see that Mini being economically viable in the short term. If it had been an earlier model or a Cooper perhaps but not a D reg limited edition.Bluevanman said:
Watching now, I'm disappointed with the Pistonheads Pedantics,no one has mentioned it shouldn't be pronounced R.O.80 but 'row'80 
Derick arrives and it won't start, that's usually a sign the engine is clapped out with a rotary

Derek's comments that 'its all Audi' about the RO80 was entirely wrong wasn't it? If he meant it feels like an early Audi, I can get that, but he seemed to be saying it had Audi seats etc...?
RO80 was designed well before the Audi takeover, the K70 which became a Volkswagen had input from VW but RO80 was nothing to do with them.In fact the merger of Auto Union and NSU in turn led to Audi being formed.
Yes the NSU "it's really an Audi" grated on me too.
Nice to see Warkworth in the prog, better than some of the rest of the prog.
Tale about the NSU Quickly.
1980's I worked in Ponteland, Northumberland and a guy joined, lived in Blyth 15 mile away.
He would commute every day on a Quickly, come rain, hail or shine. Flat out at 30mph on a good day, 20 with a head wind. He had about 3 engines which he used to rebuilt regularly using the best bits of what he had.

In terms of dates, the DBS was December 2022, and the pair of white Bond Bugs and NSU Ro80 were Feb 23.
What they didn't tell you was that the barnfind Mini went through six auctions between July 22 and March 23 before it finally sold.
I saw a listing for the two white Bond Bugs dated October 2022. Maybe they tried to sell them as a pair again in Feb 23? What they didn't tell you was that the barnfind Mini went through six auctions between July 22 and March 23 before it finally sold.
