I am not going to complain as I was a buyer of the Fiat 850. Talking with my wife earlier this morning while we went food shopping and she commented that it was quieter than normal. Perhaps being on the same day as that wedding pulled some of the less committed people away that could have been buyers.

Are they really that cheap though?

I think some of the estimates are just a little bit ridiculous.....

Some poor results at Silverstone today too. It was definitely quieter than normal.

1981 911sc £24k, not sold (it was rough).
Alfa sz zagato, 34k not sold.
Sierra rs500 chassis #1 75k not sold.
Lovely pantera £52k not sold
Aston dbr1 replica £72k not sold.

Strong results for good cars though
Low miles sierra rs500 £100k.
Bmw z1 £32k.
1973 911s £148k.

The star of the show was an untouched renault 5 turbo 2, needing a full resto, est 25-30k, sold for 49k plus fees.

the Z1 was mine and I am pleased with the result overall..

So the main buyers at these auctions are Royalist/ Chelsea or Man Utd fans.

All those estimates seem too high. Wont stop dealers trying to sell at prices which match those estimates, of course

[PomBstard]

But the bonkers Lister XJ12 went for 65k from an estimate of 30-40k...

Prices are not low, jut more realistic ! by prices coming down it gives the REAL enthusiasts that are passionate about these old cars a chance to own one, with the rediculous prices that they are supposed to be changing hands for, i think its sad the way the market is going/gone....the cars are being bought up and stuck in a garage with a cover over them, never to see the light of day again, but of course as long as they have "matching numbers" !! crazy situation !
I mean a quarter of a million quid for an E Type being asked by some of these dealers is absurd !
I drive mine all the time, they great, there fantastic, but surely not to be just looked at...the biggest joy is to drive them.

As predicted I think, the rare and the remarkable still fetching the money, the bandwagon fodder just got a bump into reality

Silverstone Auction sold a MK1 Mex for £50600. That's gotta be arecord for a Mex hasn't it?
