Today at the NEC auctions

[Vista]

Well, technically yesterday,  Classic Fords (and far newer not so classic Fords) still delivering high values for their Owner's.

62k for this took me by surprise mind!

NEC fever and a bit of phantom bidding perhaps 🤔

Silverstone made more money charging £5 each to view a car you may want to buy. Taking the micheal I think.

Don't tell dealerships about this 🤣

@Vista Your Montreal is worth as much as a Transit Van! A Mk4 escort as much as a V8 Daimler. People want what they want dont they?

I bought the Capri 280 Brooklands for quite a bit less than the "estimate" and the limit I set myself. The auction was very well attended and I was surprised how many cars sold for less than the lower estimate figure. saying that there were a few that exceeded the estimate like the 1986 Sierra RS Cosworth that sold for £118,000 + fees of 15%

Blimey you would need a decent lottery win to buy one now days! Hope they get used and not locked away for years

There was a Mk1 Focus in there that had 25 miles on it, it would be Agoraphobic by now outside a shed! I doubt its going on a touring holiday any time soon! LOL

There was a mk2 focus that had just 0.3 of a mile on it ,they must of carried it from the showroom, unbelievable

I had a Golf that was that reliable once, the dealer had it more than I did, traded it in at 5 months old.
