I see this all the time in SW London. It's a pretty car.

Saw it in Kingston earlier this week, sounded good as well.

Haha, yeah, that's it. I see it parked by the little coffee van by Canbury Gardens all the time.

I love this, I just wish my pockets were deep enough and balls big enough to run one

This looks quite nice too

Some interesting lots at the weekend https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/classic-auctions/2...

Are the estimates mostly way under market value?

I guess it's the way to make everything look temptingly cheap!

They have no way of knowing what prices will be achieved

[Fast Bug]

As per many auction estimates

This S124 300TE looks pretty tidy for a prefacelift, does anyone here know anything about it? Looks to have had the usual M103 leaky headgasket sorted.

I'm a complete sucker for an early W124 - I don't know anything about that one, but the photos look tidy. From the MoT history it spent 2011-2021 not moving, but what MoT history there is doesn't ring any alarm bells. I wouldn't choose white, but it doesn't look bad. The fact it's on an auction on a site nobody has heard of might mean it sells under the radar... Could be a bargain.

Click for video, a mate sent me this yesterday. It was left to him by his poor older brother who passed away, he's just managed to get it reconditioned for use.

I haven't seen it since the late 90s early 00s, I think it had about 13k miles on it when it went into storage.

That's a true survivor! It looks great in black and with those wheels.

Is that an SE9? Nice looking things the Calibra, shame it wasn't a better steer as Vauxhall missed a real trick there. The Turbo was a rapid old thing.

Same here on white, never what I envisaged for an S124 but somehow really suits it, especially with the ambers. Been really hankering for an S124 7 seater or prefacelift R129 recently

SE9's were all red and V6 IIRC. This will be an LE rather than a numbered SE I should imagine. All turbos, all black, all numbered and all with factory 25mm lowering springs I believe.

Those BBS RX212's and the RX256's are getting pricey now. I need to get round to getting mine refurbished.
