I know what you mean Liz. Fortunately I'm holding the camera so can't let go to bid. Thanks for tuning in.

@@elatemedia6737 lol good job you've got the camera hahah. I would not be able to contain myself. Thanks for the Auction it's great fun and I thought the prices of the cars were amazing!

Thanks for tuning in David. See you on the next one.

Bloody hell I'm coming over prices half what we pay for 50-60 yr old sports cars cheers n beers Marty

Yeah we've tried to make it as fluid as possible and to keep the momentum going for the full 3-4hrs so I'm glad you appreciate it. Cheers and see you on the next one.

not sure adopting a technology that others have been using for 10 years is a great innovation - more like 'it is about time you caught up'

I've heard women use that phrase so many times, those words no longer have any meaning.

Mine threatens to divorce but many purchases later, she's still here!

Glad you enjoyed it. See you next time for more classic car eye candy.

You want to try thinking of something different to say about 300 different cars !

One word........spares.

From the auctioneers point of view, I made the decision to keep descriptions to a minimum as everything required is on the online catalogue! If I spent an extra 30 seconds per car this would increase the time by nearly 2 hours !!

Hi @Cornish Rider. Thanks for the feedback. Jim has a lot to get through so we've added even more information to the onscreen titles for future auctions, check out the November auction. Hope that helps and thanks again for getting involved.

well any old ford is an old banger to me, but hell who am i to judge...

Gap fillers

@@amigachris they use to say that about old mk1 and mk2 escorts. Now look at the price of them.

@@2011metalmaniac a fool and his money are easily parted.i want rarity ie not many made and hand built for the price of a mk1 escort bin from dagenham no appeal to me and no class in "class"ic for me as a million were made

@@rampantram1ah pity to those fools who bought them and now sell them five times the initial purchase cost.

Modern interpretation old son. Classic means common, wicked means cool. Black is white And a lie is truth. We live in confusion

only 8000 miles on the clock for a diesel

It didn't make the reserve so they will ask the seller if they will take the final bid, they have the right to refuse.

"...man they sell for"????????????????????????????

Only after he got it home did he realise that the transducer had been filled with sawdust!

Ludicrrously cheap? I bought a mini in 1995 for 50 quid and sold it for 150 and thougth i'd made a million...These prices are obscenly inflated. The only cars that went for right money in this auction were the ones at the end...Terrible...

Just buy the cars and pay for them to be shipped from Southampton to USA! Add import duty , voila !

ebay america priced themselves out most sellers postage is outrageous 40$ for 2 washers,think they use some sort of postal packing service ,had stuff like fishing reels sent by sellers who posted themselves at normal prices so it can be done ,but hard to get spares for my outboards from companys onl;ine easier if had some one to take delivery in usa then send to uk,same may happen with certain parts which are cheaper here

Thanks for the advice guys!

Thinking Australia to the U.S. would be the way to go as you could get good British Model Classic Cars that were put together there but stayed the course with little Rust...sort of surviver cars yet still used as daily runners ... or else Barn Finds for Project work...

*your asking way too much of a local auction company* *Do you watch local football and expect the striker to be like Pele' ?? I bet you do*

No. Maybe Harry Kane though.

Try your right ear then.

@@bigjohnfury5662 lol

*yeah that's fine until the cars actually a gem with low owners or miles and doesn't extol the virtues which makes more moolah* *So in that respect if its to save energy they should have 2 auctioneers*

As the auctioneer, if I’d read out full details etc on each lot the actual sale time would have increased by 2 hours at least ! Having 2 auctioneers would make no difference whatsoever to that time . All registered bidders had the information at hand and the event was filmed to add interest and to at least try to recreate the feel of a live physical auction in these troubled times . And I think we did well

@@jimronan3087 *as a motor trader since 1988 and British Car Auctions & Manheim account holder I can assure you they on big sales have 2 auctioneers and reps in the rostrum to move the sale on quicker* *That's what they told me not me making it up and it works for obvious reasons*

Hi David. To help Jim get through the vast amount of stock we've now added more information to the on-screen titles. If you want more information before the Auction head over to AngliaCarAuctions.co.uk and you will find all the cars. If you need to know more drop them a line, they'd be happy to help. Hopefully the extra info in the titles will help out though. Check out the latest November auction to seem them in action. Thanks again.

Someone at the auction house will bid on your behalf, up to the maximum that you specify with them before hand.

Well obviously someone thought differently.

80s hot hatches have been booming in recent years. Escort RS, Astra GTE, golf GTIs. The guys who were teenage in the 80s who couldnt afford them are now in there 50s and are restoring them.

After 30 years a car is considered a classic,60’s cars were considered classics in the 80’s early 70’s cars were the same in the 90’s

Metal sunvisor?

As ever, only worth what people are prepared to pay.

Cheeky sod ! The lack of description on each lot is deliberate as to read out a full description on each lot would add an extra 2 hours plus to the day ! All details of each lot are on the online catalogue

If the operation ran more smoothly you'd have more time to really sell the cars the cars Jim. You do make comment like 'only' and 'bright old thing' , ' comes dire t from a film company they like their cars', 'imposing' etc Just an observation not a criticism of your auctioneering skills.

Blaise Morris ! The auction ran very smoothly ! Every registers bidder had all the descriptions etc and had obviously done they’re homework prior to auction so there really is no need to add more .

and then it got worse a rover 600 lol

Triumphs were way better. MG is the most overrated marque of all time in my view.

MGC's sell for near $30,000 in USA

I guess you've never driven one.....

Don't bid for it then.

Well, I have just driven 3000km across Europe and back in mine. It went very well, sounds glorious, carried a lot, good performance, reasonable economy, very relaxed grand touring machine that everyone (apart from you who have never driven one) liked and was much complimented. The steering is not excessively heavy if the front tyre pressures are correct and it reminds me of the Sunbeam Tiger I owned for many years a while ago - small car, big engine, similar capabilities and lots of fun. The 'C' has come of age, sorry for you that you have missed the boat. The best ones go for a lot more than £8500.
