218 lots of cars collected over the years

some without keys or documents?

I wonder what the legal side is on no documents, how do they prove they are theirs?

Looks like a scrapyard sell off. One or two interesting lots, but most of it is scrap metal!

A very weird collection of stuff: a load of junk, and one pristine, restored and very valuable Escort RS1600 in amongst it all. confused

The Mk1 RS1600 Escort should fetch around £85K in the current climate of fast Ford madness.

Some interesting stuff there (and valuable to the old Ford fans!). When I used to travel about the country for my last job I'd often wonder what could be stashed away in all the barns and outbuildings I'd pass out in the middle of nowhere, I'll bet there are loads more places like this out there.

The RX-7 is nice, and the GT6 (more powerful, rotoflex version too).

I'm in the market for a GT6... scratchchin

There's a lot of crap there
I'm also pretty sure that these are not Rover Viteste [sic] wheels:

You'd see them on the normal 3500 or 3500 Vanden Plas, but I've never seen a Viteste with them

There is a lot of rust there, I thought there were 2 RS1800's being entered ? The RS1600 is going to go for silly money.

Never understand these ‘collectors’. Hoard dozens of vehicles which they have no intention of refurbishing until they’re near enough scrap status - what a waste frown

The RS1600 looks quite good - very good panel gaps and sill line. Wrong wheels though - should be slotted, and it's got the wrong anti roll bar which is pushing the front wheels back 2 inches.

It won't make 85 grand, nearer to 50 ish. It would need a very good look over but it's a lovely thing.

Not only the rare Viteste wheels, but the even rarer Scoda wheels, an Ellegro and Vauxhall Veva spares!

Descriptions clearly written by an idiot: "Jaguar SJ6 Series 1. 5dr 4.2L" was my favourite.

I'm guessing they were dictated to a non-car person.

It's not a 5dr, it's just a substantial rust hole.

Quite a lot of unusual 5dr cars listed, such as Morris Minor (Lot 252) and Mercedes 190E (253) and there's also the much sought-after 3dr Ford Mk1 Cortina (255)
I wonder what lot 264 really is, as not many Austins had knock-on wire wheels.
Nothing old enough to interest me, of course, but one has to look . . .
