The highest bid (mine) was £19k, the reserve was £27k. I couldn’t bid more as nobody else was bidding. I spoke with the auction house but the vendor had already removed the car and the auction house advised that the bid was so far from what he wanted it wasn’t worth putting anything forward unless I was prepared to go up to his reserve. In my view the reserve was too high.

Morning all In the last coup,e of months I have seen 3 X Pack Capris go through different auctions, none sold as they didn’t reach their reserve; I was actually the highest bidder on one of them. I don’t suppose anybody on here was one of the sellers? If you do happen to be on here I would love to hear from you as I am still very interested in buying one.

We are going to the local classic car show tomorrow, so today I thought I would get Tina out and check she was running ok. As the sun was shining I popped for a quick drive around. It is a while since I was out and I had forgotten how much fun an old car is.

Hi all I fancy another OSF and something a little different. I found this, a Mk1 Cortina with a V6 fitted. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295248452756 It looks well done and in good condition, does anybody happen to know the car or have a view? thanks

Yes I agree, I am not so much of a purist to want to pay the premium for a “real” one. I am after a bit of fun on the very odd day that I get the car out.

I recently moved to the Highlands so it isn’t so far away 😊

I wonder what happens if the MoT exempt car fails? Can you drive it legally knowing it is deemed unroadworthy?

Hi all, having owned my lovely Cortina 1600e for 11 years or so I am starting to fancy a change. This car popped up on car and classics and I really quite like the look of it. I am not minded to pay the money for a real one. https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1445417 Does anybody happen to know the car or have a view? thanks

Here is one of us out and about on a local rally, pre COVID of course, enjoying the car for what it is - a car.

Some of the games I have been at - the whistle is definitely exciting!

.... and quite an exciting end to the football it was too.

Yep, FA cup this afternoon, Rochdale v Spurs

Aha yes, me too. Pay attention rather than answer while glancing at it, drinking wine and watching the football.

Now read it properly - 70! Assumed it was all add on the bottom line
