The three 'stages' of Jeremy laughing at James is great. 1) the laugh of surprise at hearing it's the last lot. 2) the laugh of amusement at James's panic. 3) the laugh of hilarity when he sees the dire Citroen.

What cracks me up - in addition to these - is the auctioneer's laugh (never mind the other buyers/audience).

They did everything you're not supposed to do at a car auction: 1) Don't bid on the first thing you see (unless its a unicorn of course) 2) Don't get into a bidding war and go above budget 3) Never wait till the end thinking you're going to get exactly what you want
