Some real bargains here,I've been in the motor and garage trade for over 45 years and can tell you that the prices here are very affordable to all. Great stuff !!

[@bejay69]

Amazed at how much the rusty wrecks in the car park fetch.

[@maxs6775]

Miss the good old days of a live auction !

[@nicknovotni5378]

Great to watch , should continue with this format because it brings you in to the auction process!

[@lunis471]

I wouldn't have been able o control myself that jaguar was lovely I've only got 1 classic MG Roadster but I would have been sorely tempted Great Auctio thanks for this 😁

[@elatemedia6737]

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

[@lunis471]

@@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!

[@davidheaton5765]

As always an amazing auction. Really nice to see some prices started to become sensible again.

[@elatemedia6737]

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

[@martinbowskill5511]

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

[@robfrank3687]

thanks really enjoyed and prices seem very reasonable to me

[@eoinoconnell185]

Love the no-waiting around. Just one car after another. Some very good deals.

[@elatemedia6737]

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.

[@marcus6904]

could we have more description of the cars from the auctioneer,mileage etc.please

[@markd244]

Love the format and film production on you tube. Great innovation in these unusual times. Perhaps of you can add the hammer price to the graphics?

[@jeremylarson6267]

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'

[@yamahattr6006]

How is an 04 mini a classic car

[@AnthonyTolhurst-dw1nc]

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

[@rampantram1]

only 8000 miles on the clock for a diesel

[@marklythe1755]

Triumph Vitesse convertible under 6 grand car of my dreams

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

Bib is very happy as it would seem his Peugeot 106 diesel now counts as a 'classic'....

[@pokerman111111111111]

i would love that series 1 escort RS -£12k is pretty cheap depending on mileage/condition. worh putting away and bringing out on nice days will deffo go up in value Renault 5 Turbos are now crazy money and XR2/XR2i are worth buying deffo go up

[@stevedriver1476]

the oldsmobile wagon is worth $50,000 U,S restored, easy to get parts for also.

[@standrew1656]

Enjoyed it! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@vernedavis]

the end is unbelievable

[@andrewmarsden1970]

If I had been there I would have 100% bought something. Missus would have killed me.

[@hugglescake]

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

[@beaufighter245]

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

[@ukspecialistwatches2274]

Interesting video guys!

[@elatemedia6737]

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

[@chriswalker336]

Cars look beautifully prepared, but why don’t the drivers shut the doors properly, so many come through with the door on the first catch!

[@BettySwollocks13]

When it says 'Buyers Premium' next to the listing, is this 8% to add to the final price along with the 20% vat of the final price?

[@TheClockwise770]

I cannot believe that a gorgeous pristine Armstrong Siddley Sapphire only made £5000 where as a 1979 mass produced MGB in Inca brown with plastic bumpers sold for 6750 ,wot!

[@paulthomson2375]

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

[@cornishrider]

Enjoyable video, agree some basic info either captions or by the auctioneer would vastly improve the viewing, quite fancied that Honda Legend!

[@jimronan3087]

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 !!

[@elatemedia6737]

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.

[@DPK12]

What do you mean provisionally sold

[@jean-pierredeclemy7032]

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.

[@anthonymcewen-smith200]

Loved it, was hoping to see a Ford Consul Mk2, I really want one.

[@nigelandy]

Think he bought his microphone at an auction

[@1963TOMB]

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

[@OldCarsNewVan]

Makes me laugh - the last car auction I was at was in 1994 and the auctioneer used the phrase ‘in the best colour.’ 2020 watching this - out trips the same old cheese. Some things never change😂

[@jimronan3087]

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

[@henryhsu7314]

Never mind! They are auctioning good quality cars at reasonable prices!

[@chriswalker336]

How on Earth could a 2000 Fiesta, or a 2001 Peugeot 206, or many others in this auction be regarded as classic cars??? They’re just old bangers, surely?

[@amigachris]

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

[@maxs6775]

Gap fillers

[@2011metalmaniac]

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

give this guy a mic stand or one that clips to him.

[@jachinloi5066]

I am a British car freak, two MGBGT in the 70’s with chrome bumper only auctioned for less than $5k??? 1988 Range Rover Denfender for $7500??? 1966 Jaguar 340 MK 2 for $9000??? Does any one know how hard it is to import cars from England to the USA?? Thanks my

[@maxs6775]

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

[@gerardcollins1767]

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

[@jachinloi5066]

Thanks for the advice guys!

[@malachy1847]

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...

[@happyhermit2022]

A 2020 auction with a microphone from 1920....sort it out !..

[@keepthefaithlovejesus9081]

Superb Auction but terrible video streaming on cars, buy a iPhone and dump the useless out of focus video camera

[@terrymcdonagh5439]

do these cars sell with the numberplates incuded because some of the plates are worth man they sell for?

[@brimkathstampex2306]

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

exactlyand stop repetion of parts of the auction..great to watch tho....And yes a new mic or a new on/off mic button PLEASE

[@davidpringle2051]

What is a proxy bid

[@2000globetrotter]

Auctioneer gave no details ( mileage etc.) so unless you have a catalogue you don't really know what you are bidding on.

[@bigjohnfury5662]

*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*

[@jimronan3087]

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

[@bigjohnfury5662]

@@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*

[@elatemedia6737]

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.

[@mikehawes4935]

The prices seem ludicrously cheap, do these actually sell for this or do they go back to the owners? I am wishing I'd seen this live bid and then tucked the cars away till next summer

[@danashcroft961]

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...

[@benedict2814]

Great video quality but audio pretty unpleasant. Stereo picture is messed up and the auctioneer’s nasal voice is echoing in the left ear

[@bigjohnfury5662]

*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.

A buggered 1984 Vauxhall Astra for 3700? something fishy there.... and it not a classic car by any stretch.

[@robv1139]

Well obviously someone thought differently.

[@2011metalmaniac]

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.

[@gedjones5977]

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

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

I enjoyed that! Not as good as H and H though.

[@LOTPOR0402]

That SL was cheap for 3500 quid

[@clonmore819]

I don't think the Auctioneer was that good. No details just make and ID of car , zero details.

[@jimronan3087]

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

[@blaisemorris7601]

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.

[@jimronan3087]

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 .

That yellow MGC was bid to £8,500. I didn't realise that a piece of S**T like that was worth more than scrap value. When the MGC's were new, they were S**T.

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

[@sw651]

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

[@nigeltalbot1520]

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

[@robv1139]

Don't bid for it then.

[@nigeltalbot1520]

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.
