CAN I FIND SOME CLASSIC CAR BARGAINS AT AUCTION? ANGLIA CAR AUCTION

Welcome back all!
In this video I return to one of my favourite auction houses for their June, weekend long, classic sale! Anglia Car Auctions certainly know how to put on a sale and I was blown away by the sheer quality of lots that were going under the hammer. Many low milage heroes feature in the video but there are also many reasonably priced classics that would make perfect summer cruisers.
As per usual I recorded many classic fords but I feel that I also recorded a nice variety of makes and models of classic cars in this one. I do ask viewers that if you'd like to see a particular car then leave me a comment below and I try my best to find and record this classic in a future video.
A huge thank you to everyone at Anglia Car Auctions, as they put on a flawless auction every time we attend, with everyone playing their own important role. Please do let me know what your pick of the auction was as I love to read and reply to all of your comments!

Grew up when most of these cars were first hitting the roads & posters of them were on nedroom walls., along with Linda Lusardi!

LOVE THE LOTUS CORTINA. 👌👌Another great video Mitch. Top man. 👍

[@Mk2Mitch]

Cheers mate! 😁

[@geedee1999]

If i was ever to win the lottery that DB5 would be right at the top of my list. Thank you for another great narrated and in-depth look at the auctioned cars which was a fantastic watch and much appreciated Mitch. It must be hard not to just throw your hand up at some of these beauties that went under the hammer, but mate even some of these basic classic cars are getting so expensive now. Look forward to the next post. 👍

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you for the comment, I'm glad you enjoy the videos! yes it is quite the challenge not to get carried away and end up driving one of the classics home 😆

[@guy4469]

the red bmw M535I All day ,and the mexico estate yes .

[@mrkiplingreallywasanexceed8311]

Mitch never mind too long - I was disappointed it finished so soon!! I think that red BMW was an M535i rather than an M5 - the difference being of course, that the one at the auction had the 12valve 218bhp engine - the full fat M5 is the 24valve 286bhp and would have gone for several multiples of what that one didnt sell for😂 Such a great video, could have watched for another 45 minutes!!

[@adebrade172]

That red beemer is in a dealers forecourt for 20k now

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you pal! Yes I admit I'm no BMW expert but I try. I was just reading off the description with this one 😆

[@999hireactionvehicles9]

The bubbles definitely burst. That 3.0s blue Capri was a local car used to see him take his rubbish to the dump in that !!

[@Mk2Mitch]

Bubbles burst? I thought loads of these classics went for strong prices. That 3.0 Capri and the Sierra Cosworth 👍🏻

[@predragv.365]

Great video👍 A lot of beautiful Fords

[@fatlad5090]

I bought a saxo VTS in 2000. First one with face lift. in wicked red. What a car. this one here got the VTR wheels.

[@djemmay]

I was thinking the same thing about the 14” VTR alloys. Did the VTS only have 15’s, or did the pre-facelift ones ever get 14’s as well?

[@rodgoth3249]

what a gorgeous Cortina, would really love one again, cheers rodders

[@Mk2Mitch]

I know, the cortina was incredible 😆

[@georgemorrison6689]

Great watch Mitch glad your out there mate thanks for sharing with us, we're to start there were so many great cars, the Anglia van was great, I liked the Saxo and the blue Capri I could go through the whole lot no way I could have went it would have taken me a week to walk round them all thanks again mate

[@Mk2Mitch]

Glad you enjoyed the video mate, yeah its hard to get round them all when your drooling over the impressive examples! 😆

[@zeroone5097]

another fantastic vid , many thanks love these topics . fav car there was the Crusader , what a stunning car and the colour was to die for

the st170 getting very rare.i had a nice one same colour back in 2016.ive had a few mk1s and now have a sport tdci 87k in ink blue which was rare when new.mk1s are in the climb.

[@stewartward912]

Great auction that was! ..was great to put a face to a name! ..Spoke to you briefly near the low mileage burgundy Metro....must have been the biggest classic auction I've been to in a while! ... keep up the good videos 👍👍😎😎

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you for saying hello mate! Great too meet subscribers and im glad you enjoyed the auction 😎

[@rossmclaren71]

Love these auction videos !! Nice one Mitch definitely Leave the Cosworth as is and daily it !!

[@Mk2Mitch]

Cheers mate! 😎

[@stevecoinitin7521]

Yuk, you brought back memories of me having to endure, driving a 1996 Escort 55D van at work.....the 1.6D version. They were so bad. 0-60 mph time is stated as 14 secs, felt more like 20+ secs! A zero for looks too! 2 good things about them, they key unlocked the doors and the stereo was like any other stereo.

[@BigStuCorby]

These Mk1 Golf Gti seem to go for half the price of a clean Mk4 escort cab

[@chrishood5079]

Thank you

[@c0rn15hman3]

At last another auction video. Thanks for the fix Mitch 👍

[@Mk2Mitch]

You're welcome mate! I'm looking to attend a few more auctions soon to help your auction fix 🤣

[@viddyhk]

Another great video!

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you! 👍🏻

[@mrvertigo73]

Can't believe that BMW 535i didn't go!! That was beautiful. Love the Capri 3.0 but surely that's too money now for a Capri? And for a Sierra Cossie? Merc 190E or BMW 5 for me

[@Geckatron]

Nice video dude 😎

[@mattgmit]

great vid - cheers

[@dominicsaid876]

Great video Mitch have inspired me to get out to the next sale 👍🏻

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you, glad you'll be attending the auction! 😁

[@peppermintmk1611]

DB5’s these days are the hardest to find! Theres so many different ones go for different money. Commissioned ones beleive it or not are worth less than the ones that haven’t been touched. Originality always wins! Especially with old Astons 👏🏻🫡 class video mate! Channel is growing nicely! Well deserved

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thought you might like that DB5 mate! I'm not surprised that an untouched original goes for more than a restored example, it does make perfect sense! Cheers fella 👍🏻

[@Michael-yh5gn]

This is a great vid…. So interesting to see what gets sold at these auctions. I wish I had the balls to buy from one.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you! Why not attend an auction first and get the feel for them? Great places, even just to window shop 😆

[@michaeledwards427]

I loved the mk5 cortina and the 3.0S capri. But if i brought the mk2 Escort estate immediately when i'dve got home I'd have to take off the mk1 Mexico stripes as they just look wrong on a mk2. Despite the fact that mk1 and mk2 estates shared the same bodyshell but with a different front. It was obviously a "Mexico tribute" done on the cheap as it still had its factory square headlamps and chrome bumpers, as well as its original interior. The picture in the car is a mk1 with RS2000 stripes plus bubble arches.

[@Gius3pp3K]

I remember shopping around for my first car in 1999. I went to view a Nova SR, but didn’t like the leg room. I’m 6ft 2 tall, so gave it a miss. I also looked at a 1.9 205 GTI, though ended up buying a MK2 Golf. Happy days

[@Mk2Mitch]

Must've been fun browsing around dealerships in 1999! love a Mk2 Golf! 👍🏻

[@BradderzTekkerz]

So glad you had a look over that focus st theyve been peaking my interest as I always wanted the rs but don’t think I’ll ever get one for the money they ask now! Haha 😊

[@Mk2Mitch]

The ST170 was a stunner and I was really tempted to have a bid myself! 😆

[@stevewall4589]

Great video Mitch. For me it has to be either the Mk5 Cortina Crusader, the Sierra Sapphire Cosworth or The BMW E28 M5. Three absolute stunning cars.

[@danielbrown2715]

It wasn't an M5 he got that wrong it was an M535i 218bhp instead of 286bhp, still nice car though. E28 M5 would have been £100,000 plus also it had Alpina wheels instead of the standard MTEC's

[@Mk2Mitch]

I was just reading the description on the BMW pal. I'm no expert on them, so thank you for informing us 👍🏻

[@nicnak4475]

There didn't seem as many people at the auction this time. Thanks for posting 👍

[@Mk2Mitch]

Mid summer means many people are out enjoying the weather and other activities! I was surprised that many vehicles still fetched really good prices.

[@AledPritchard]

I love these auction videos, really takes me back to seeing a lot of these on a daily. The government car scrappage schemes have wiped a lot of these beauties out. Kudos to all who save these cars now. Anglia Auctions.. I’d spend a fortune!

[@adams7405]

Great scrappage scheme...trading in a car like these for an inferior Korean box.Well done government!

[@AledPritchard]

@@adams7405 Agree!

[@MrSportster12]

Always enjoy your videos especially the auction ones. My son is keen to attend one but it would be very hard not to bid on so many of the cars.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you pal, glad you enjoy them! It's great to attend the auction even to just window shop. Just make sure you super glue yours hands in your pockets 🤣

[@steverogers2369]

Car of the auction for me was the, Fiat 126. Don't often see cars sold on a, Maidan bid but it caught every one asleep on an appreciating classic. Very rare car now especially non big bumper and plastic exterior.

[@Mk2Mitch]

I agree, not much interest and went cheap considering it was the an early example!

[@peterlee44]

Great Video Mitch car of the auction for me Cortina Crusader but not as good as my new estate 😆

[@Mk2Mitch]

Cheers mate! Can't beat a old barge 😆

All beetles must be like triggers broom by now.

[@happyguilmore4253]

Capri 3lt S gorgeous. I had a old white beetle. Used as a run around for my staff. Left it on my mates drive for over a year. Told him to scrap it 😥😥 Mercedes 2.3 were built like tanks. Now soft as shit. Can’t believe that mondeo st went for so much

Mitch i would love for you 2 see my capri if you think these were great mine is all original 100% better than what was on here.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Sounds impressive! Where are you based?

[@stephenmeehan9961]

That Mk 2 escort estate Mexico tribute car as you said it should have a 1.6 Pinto engine as that's what Mk Mexico's had and not a 2.0

[@RWL2012]

The Mk6 Escort van in red with the London registration, very likely ex-Royal Mail.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Quite possibly!

[@mattylamb9194]

That Cosworth needs a fair amount to body, yet still goes for a packet

[@Mk2Mitch]

Certainly more than I was expecting!

[@pigeonworldforum3869]

Thought the Capri 2.8 injection would have gone for more than £8,100 ........🤔

[@Mk2Mitch]

Wasn't the best condition! Room for improvement...

Great vid mate, the ST24 will be a rare thing now, I agree with you on the ST170 being a future classic, loads have been thrown away already!! I thought I recognised the Citroën from WB!! 3.0S Capri and the Saff Cossy were nice things too 👍

[@scottallan6622]

That ST170 was a cheap . What an investment that could be if you stuck it away .

[@Mk2Mitch]

I agree! 👍🏻

[@Grah-66]

A bit weird, a Ford Escort Mexico "tribute" that just happens to be an estate!!!! The only thing that that would have to do with Mexico is smuggling immigrants hidden inside it. As for the Cosworth - - - did you see the one that went to auction that was in mint condition??? Spend a good few thousand fully restoring it and watch the bids flying in when you go to sell it. The mint one went for over half a million!!!!

[@paulriggers1558]

prices almost affordable again they never made a mk2 escort estate, just the wings + dash were updated mk2 mexico's were 1600 pintos, you needed a RS 2000 for the 2ltr keep it up young man

[@Mk2Mitch]

Yes, very well corrected! Mexico 1.6 pinto and RS 2.0 pinto 👍🏻
