If I went to an auction like that my arms would be flailing up and down like a crashing helicopter.

Oh lordy.

Here's a game; you have £10k in your pocket, which car or cars do you bid for (ignore auction fees, tax, insurance etc, this is just a bit of fun).

For me, one of the Fulvias. Then bid for either the Capri, the Cougar or the E30 325.

Makes me feel really old, 50% of the lots could have been in the last 'normal' car auction I went to.

I doubt I'd be able to resist that Zodiac though,if it's as good as the vendor describes. You do have to wonder what the seller of the DS did to upset the catalogue compiler 'undoubtedly the scruffiest DS we've ever offered' when everything else has a glowing description from the vendor.

I'd have a punt on the 1275GT, Then probably the Cougar(Although i'd advise a bit of caution as alot of the Body and trim bits are a bit of a git to find).

As always the Rover P5 attracts, especially at that guide price.

Mind you the Daimler V8 250 on wire wheels. cloud9

PS, look at some of the earlier auctions. Reliant Scimitar 3.0 in a rather striking blue I must admit, but £1735 !!

That's because some of the lots are just old "normal" cars.

"Classic" bog standard Ford Sierra, really???? confused

That Citroen GSA looks tasty - much more interesting than the DS. You hardly see them in France now.

The Raleigh Runabout! So many memories of being a wet behind the ears 16 yr old. Either that or the 911 SC. To prove that I am now a wet behind the ears 55 yr old.

The cougar looks straight. Also like the Lotus Sunbeam at a reasonable price.

Some very nice bits of kit in there! Liking the Mk 1 pre-airflow Cortina GT (even though it's been for sale for a long while and the vendor thinks it's worth twice what it actually is). Think the Rover P5B looks good value, as does the NSU Ro80 (depending what floats your boat)

Bet that early Mini van goes for a fair bit more than the estimate!.
