Classic Car Auction Christmas Preview Walk - Is the best time to buy a classic now?

[@groundfloor74]

There's something not quite right with your accent Jonny, you keep saying awk·shn, rather than the agreed ok.shn

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

Ahh, I see. Apologies to all #smithandsniff people's an that. www.smithandsniff.com

[@samuelgarrod8327]

Nobody likes the pronunciation police.

awk·shn is correct if you are working off the English Dictionary of "Auction" ... it's not 'Oktion'

@@samuelgarrod8327 Especially if they are incorrect.

[@groundfloor74]

@samuelgarrod8327 and the others.... obviously none of you have listened to Jonny's, SSP (sweet, sweet podcast) with his SSPC-H (sweet, sweet, podcast co-host)... you really should, on that side of things

[@richarddean2593]

I’m sure everyone understands why Jonny is given the opportunity to attend the preview, his enthusiasm….he’s like a kid a Christmas

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

Thank you. It's incredibly tempting, so I leave my wallet at home.

[@mrambitous562]

​@@TheLateBrakeShow bad move should make an offer on the Supra back to your Max Power days! Just change that wheel!! 😂

[@samuelgarrod8327]

​@@mrambitous562There's a good reason Max Power is no longer a thing.

[@mrambitous562]

@@samuelgarrod8327 it was a joke, without max power we may not have the late brake show.

I love your Atari Christmas jumper, Jonny! Stay warm and merry!

Absolute beast of a jumper JS

[@Jus287]

That Astra GTE!! I would love to own one of those again. I sold mine for £900 back in 1994......and it wasn't a rust bucket either. It was a rare site even back then.

[@fondu-design]

What was the little red thing in the background of the Astra?

[@matthewcoulson8306]

​@@fondu-design that'll be a Honda s800

[@kevinfleming9919]

Those fender extension filler pieces on the Cadillac between the taillights and fenders are notorious for breaking apart. They either break into pieces or shrink and swell with temperature changes making the paint fail on them, plus they were made from urethane that was supposed to flex and absorb the shock of the bumper hitting something at low speeds so the fenders wouldn't be damaged. It was common to see those cars in later years driving around with them missing because people needed to get them replaced.

[@Rusmiester]

Thanks Jonny for your show and to you and Richard for Smith and Sniff. Alot has changed for me personally recently and watching and listening has been the escapism I need. Both SSGs, cheers mate, thanks mate, bye!

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

Really happy to have provided some ridiculous chat to your ears. Thanks for listening. Take care chap.

[@user-gc1zn5mn4p]

As a 26 year owner-driver of Mercedes-Benzes I especially like the M-Bs. Happy/Merry Christmas to all.

[@skinnytinny9023]

Thanks Jonny, glad you look at the interesting cars rather than the most expensive.

[@gefthetalkingmongoose]

Lots of love for the Atari jumper; may I just add: gold retro Timex T80 PacMan👌Attention to detail

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

You noticed, huh? Hawkeye!

[@markhughes7844]

Perfect timing Jonny. It’s a Bank Holiday here in Spain. Love the Christmas jumper 🎅🎄❤️

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

Happy holidays to you and yours.

[@shanemorton2921]

Bloody hell I miss my Brabus Roadster Coupe so much. It needed some money putting into it, and circumstances at the time circa 10 years ago meant I had to let it go, but I do miss it. What a fun little thing. Super low and firm, nimble and responsive. Bloody great.

[@JordanTait95]

Seeing the smart roadsters has got me so so excited to see how your ones getting on 😍👌🤞

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

Getting close now

[@MotoMark55]

My kind of cars 🥰 You can keep your MGB's, Triumph Spitfires & Triumph Stags. This is where it's at now 😎👍

[@powerskurf]

Great show mate thanks for the Enthusiasm ! i'm excited about that Suby for 8 too

[@emmajg28]

Love this, thank you Jonny, though wish I could get the Roadster, they're just down the road. I've asked Santa as I've been mostly good 😂 Loving the jumper 🎄

[@royd72]

Best Christmas jumper ever ✌️

[@GingerPiston]

I studied in Memphis for 2 year in the mid 90s, and bought myself a Cadillac nearly identical to that Fleetwood, but just the Fleetwood Brougham. Blue velvet seats, 4.2V8, 20mpg. Loved it, despite it being SLOW. A

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

Proper disco lounge on wheels

[@GingerPiston]

@ well, quite. Mine ended up with two alternating nicknames: the pimp wagon, or the ghetto sled. Awwwwww yeahhhh.

[@patreekotime4578]

In the 90s I drove around Savannah in a big late 80s Caprice Classic Wagon with the blue velvet interior. Got broken into 3 times, stolen once. It was beast... horrible to park but absolutely a joy to drive, even down narrow streets... like floating on clouds inside of a tank.

[@GaryDavidson-l6u]

Fantastic Jonny , love your enthusiasm and knowledge of the cars , currently enjoying the episode down in New Zealand My pick of the cars would be Astra GTE

[@CalumRaasay]

That Mondial seems like a mad steal! In that nick it would be great for someone who wants something to actually drive and use.

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

Agree. I'd use it and save up for a semi/full repaint.

[@collector1946]

@@CalumRaasay perfect car because you can drive it and enjoy it ….

[@AntonHoward-mx9sb]

That Bentley is in the best colour combo. I've driven a few and you'd cry yourself to sleep every night over the fuel bills but they are stunning.

[@voorheesjason3161]

For me, if I'd had a budget for two cars : the Smart mini-hatch & Scoob for me 😬👍🏻 I'm in love with all the 90's Cosworths & Jaguar XJC v12 coupe. The Jag XCJ looks like a perfect mini version of a bigger Jag, kinda like a drivable toy, I have to have one at some point ... ( shame what's happened to them of late ).

[@SWR112]

These things would be dangerous this time of year if you won the lottery 😂. Always love seeing what’s up for grabs. Jonny has a bet on right with how many “delightful” he can get in….👍 I always love the mk1 escorts and the SD1 😮 Rover will never know how well that car could have been if I had been built right.

[@RichieWilliams]

Loving the Atari Christmas Jumper Johnny boy :) lol Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@r.whitt90]

The Golf for me. Nice to see one that hasn't been modified!

[@arronjones6985]

So glad you covered that sd1. Absolutely love thise things and its the same age as me. I bet it gets down the road and sounds naughty doing so. Great video again jonny 👌

[@eoink8219]

Fascinating collection of cars ! Happy Christmas to you too Jonny !

[@SmallBlogV8]

I have somewhere a 1:18 diecast of a CLK Cabrio in exactly that colour, with folding fabric roof, possibly even with those wheels. Surreal to see a like-new real one!

[@wessmith3161]

That Supra is just grotesque, I wouldn't be seen dead in it.

[@davidhepp1903]

Body kits, as a rule, are an excrescence.

[@trisbonky]

I don't mind a good bodykit but that one is pony!

[@ProfitBoss]

Haha, I actually bought the car

[@Mandarin9900]

The automatic though? Gosh, that's a pain.

The trap of so many "affordable" cars is that they lead buyers into "reach-exceeding-grasp" situations in which they can afford the initial purchase, but find themselves sadly unable to maintain it. A very Merry Christmas to all🎄

[@MatthewJohnCrittenden]

Yup, my first "fast car", had a black one. Replaced it with a Pug 309GTI, no idea why, memories fade. I probably binned it into a ditch. ;)

[@wedobex6985]

We saw that!!!! 😂 Your editor snoozing on it as that GTE turned into an S1 while you done a little piece to camera lol. They do look slightly similar I guess 😮 Sack him! lol 😂

That black GC8 also had the ultra rare prodrive pff7 rims ❤❤

[@Sirsethtaggart3505]

Firstly, loving the Atari jumper. I remember when most of those cars weren't worth anything! Also, be careful of Tic Toc..... I'm constantly told by experts in the field.

[@SWR112]

The generation that grew up with these cars like myself are going through a buying faze but nothing ever lasts. The next generation just won’t have the attachment like some of us had.

[@belfastroadster]

Blimey - I can almost remember when my Smart Roadster looked like that... 😊

[@RemaL-2023]

Stunning collection

Friends of mine had a GTE it was nicked/stolen more times than they care to remember. Once the police retrieved it and it was stolen again whilst in their possession!

[@Rusmiester]

Loving the Nikes!

[@chaospxl_]

Oh those Brabus Smart Parts have to have been added on later on, because not a single real brabus smart roadster falls into my mind that didnt come with the Sports Package. Also strange how its lacking the Dash Pods (Temp and Boost gauge) But either way, awesome little car, i own mine for over a year now.

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

It is a strange one. End of line parts bin car perhaps?

[@chaospxl_]

@TheLateBrakeShow Actually you can look up what car it was n what options it had at lastvin, a website for all merc models

I thought the wheels and bodykit on that Supra were awful. Then I saw the interior! Oh that steering wheel...

[@ProfitBoss]

I bought the car. Love the outside styling but I'll be changing the steering wheel for sure

[@kevindawson9270]

@ProfitBoss Good man! That wheel would've broken your wrists if it spun back.

[@Ferris842]

Thanks for a preview! So many great cars to look at. I appreciate the Astra, growing up through that era, but I kept getting distracted by the S800 coupe just behind it.... Thank, Jonny!

Totally not a CLK man either, but that one... Putting 1k miles or so a year on that, just enjoying a fantastic example of the marque? What a delight that would be.

Another great video but Jonny one day you will got me in trouble with my wife because watching all these videos of cars auctions I just want buy more cars. And if you ask my wife I already have to many of them. Hello from me from Slovenia 🇸🇮

[@laupstad]

A friend of mine had a last gen MR2 years ago and it was his total dream car so he kept in meticulously well too. It had a whole bunch of TRD goodies too. Body kit, supercharger kit, suspension. The works. And all of it ordered through fitted by a Toyota dealer. I wonder what such a thing would be worth today.

[@JC-he7yk]

The Mondial owner is getting out of jail now😅

[@cornishrider]

Hate to pull you up on a few points but, think 60's Guy XJS is pronounced X-Jess. The Caddy looks dog plop compared to the W126 almost could be a Del Boy Bonnet De Douche edition! 😉

I don’t understand the love for manual Jags. The e-type ok but anything else no. Give me that blue ‘double six’ with an auto box and I’ll waft along in no particular hurry with a great big grin in my face!

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

Good point. But the point we are making is that they are much rarer, and in the case of spirited driving they do a better job. However an auto XJ is a lovely thing.

[@CHuzz7777]

@ Yeah sure, fair enough. Not that I’m in the market but it’s nice when you prefer the more common, less sought after, cheaper option! That doesn’t always happen!

I had a low mileage mr2 roadster Came in as part x at ford I got it fot £7200 with 6k miles It was 5 years old , Still perfectly new However, long journey I got numb thighs But then clutch kicking it road a bend or roundabout was so much fun. In the end my wife at the time spun it in the wet and became scared of it. I had a company car back then so I didn’t want it for myself. We had it about 12 months. I sold it trade to Toyota in Stockport for £7400 with 12 ish k on. Shame they never fitted the Yamaha high lift cam engine out of the celica
