I ATTEND A CLASSIC CAR AUCTION IN SUMMER! LETCHWORTH MOTOR AUCTION

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Welcome back all,
In this weeks video we head across to LMA to explore their June, classic, retro and performance sale. Entered into the sale were some incredible lots, including many one owner cars with surprisingly low mileage.
I spotted plenty of classic fords but a clean Vauxhall Corsa B caught my attention and I couldn’t believe the originality of the motor. This went for a surprisingly high sum too.
Letchworth Motor Auctions next classic sale - 28th September 2024

    I didn't know that they did a 5 door mk 1 Cortina. A lot of these cars brought back happy memories. My friend had a ford capri and was always painful on the neck when sitting in the back because the shape of the roof.

    I watched this before but got too busy to comment which I felt so guilty about - but to my shame forgot to nevertheless! Delighted to rectify that now Mitch - you work really hard to bring all us tyre kickers our little browse round some jolly interesting cars without leaving the sofa - and all in such a genial and engaging way! Wish I could do more for you. The GP tells me off for being over weight but the therapist is surprised at my improved mood 😂

    With the Cortina being a saloon not a hatchback, it's a 4-door not a 5-door. A tailgate counts as a door but a boot lid doesn't.

    Hi Mitch, i totally agree with you as far as service history goes if the car speaks for itself. Some stunners there pal. Love the cabrio xr3i, love the mk1 fiesta, just a pity about the engine bay. Personally i do believe that an engine bay is the most critical. Top man. 👍👍

    Great video as always. My dream cars are classic ford's and original minis, so alot of the cars were right up my street! But, like you I was very suspicious of the sierra cosworth, ì think that car was hiding a heap of troubles, it could've even been a stolen shell, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole!! Considering the history someone's living in cloud cuckoo land with the asking price, as they're comparing it to better condition sierras with at least some history. I know you can't feature every car but I would've liked a look at the Lancia coupe. Keep up the great work.
