2 DOOR away from me. I have seen them being loaed on trailer. I knew david had few old rusty cars but never new he had stuck them up in 3. Meantime guys i think you missed one of his cars. Right end of the hallaway there is another car. Where you got this car out right at the bottom of it . If you have not got it . Its still there
Credit to David Brown. He had a vision, but time caught up. Others will hopefully have the same vision to get these Gems back on road.

So very well done on this sale, well presented and very informative to viewers. Would be great to see a programme (or two possibly) showing the restoration of one of them or all of them maybe, would sure be a great sight to see and experience the technology and skill that goes into the highly interesting car restoration process! Thanks for this, loved it!

You are correct about the registration numbers, up until 1990 (I think) vehicles coming into the UK were registered according to that year and not the age of the vehicle. I have a 1983 Suzuki that came from California and it has an 'F' 1987 reg number. That changed and now they have to be 'age related' registrations.

WoW!! I'm sure the people who bought these valuable hulks have a clue that it will take a marquee restorer YEARS and hundreds of thousands of Dollars to restore those AC's. As a side note; 45 or so years ago an AC Bristol sold for $5,600 in my area. The car must have been hot rodded out in the late '50's or early '60's as the engine had been swapped out for an old school 392 CU IN Chrysler Hemi! I always love to see the E-TYPE Jags show up on your auction site..... I had two back in the early '80's. Great job, guys! Cheers from Connecticut in the States!

@@UKBarnFinds If someone like Dominic Chimera with space, tools ,ability and friends you can methodically work through certainly the ACs, and probably use the Jags basically as the chassis number for a company that has all the bodywork and mechanicals in stock giving three out. The trim is probably the most labour intensive or expensive these days . The landy will bash back into shape and fit on a new chassis frame. A lot of the "prestige" classic cars are stored almost as artwork, and if they appreciate in value they are at present a tax free investment if stored securely and cleanly - and you can take them out for a track day if you wish. Out of interest there were a lot of spare wheels in the yard - were they put in a van and sold off or matched with bodies as spares where possible ?

I do not believe for one minute that anyone in their right mind would pay such overwhelmingly inflated prices, for what I consider to be fodder for the vehicle crusher .. how could anyone possibly pay that kinda money for a junk motor vehicle then spend another fortune restoring it .. the whole thing resonates with the YT valuables appraisals, thus someone turns up with a porcelain doll and the appraiser says "that's worth quids and quids," the item is worth nothing except replacement value .. wonder if the vehicle auction is all sham with bodgey bidders and ghost attendees .. if you lot are fair dinkum after all you should disregard my criticisms .. good luck :)

You can have double that, easily. Auctioneer, one or two spotters for room bidders, one to monitor the internet bids and inform the auctioneer and any number of phone operatives for remote bidders.
