Classic Car Auction Prices October 2023 | UK Barn Finds Visits Manor Park Classics

How are classic car auction prices in the UK right now? Is it a good time to buy? Is there such a thing as a barn find bargain? Have retro Ford prices peaked? Should you sell your classic car at auction? Join UK Barn Finds in our new Hammer Time series, as we take a look at some of the best car auctions the country has to offer and, maybe, answer some of those questions for you. Our first stop is Manor Park Classics in Runcorn, Cheshire.
This auction took place on October 28th, 2023, and featured approximately 130 lots, including retro, classic and vintage cars, as well as motorbikes and, of course, barn find cars!

1992 BMW 850i
1964 Morris Mini Cooper
1973 Triumph Dolomite Sprint

1983 Porsche 924
1973 MG B GT
Manor Park Classics is a purpose-built classic car and motorbike auction facility in the north west of England. Although a relatively new player in the market, their approach to business and the way they treat classic car buyers and sellers speaks volumes. The facility is spotlessly clean, the staff are friendly and knowledgable and their reputation is spreading fast.
Visiting a classic car auction at Manor Park Classics can be a free day out. We'd thoroughly recommend paying them a visit in person. You don't have to register to bid, but it's a good idea to. You might end up spotting a bargain car and snapping it up. You've got to be in it to win it at an auction!
We are big fans of classic car auctions at UK Barn Finds. When we're not attending one, we generally have the latest one being streamed on KZbin playing in the background as we're working. Manor Park Classics stream their auctions live and keep them on their KZbin channel. You can view this one here - kzbin.infoJrjjxfvG... - Paul Cowland introduces some of the cars and Julian, the auctioneer, is good value!

I live 3 miles from this action and have never visited....was my first visit to this same sale....as the lady said....very slick.

[@bryjan51]

Another great video from you two👍👍. The white Dolomite could have been straight out of "The Professionals"

[@UKBarnFinds]

Thank you. This was a personal mission for Claire. Her trickiest edit yet. I've hardly seen her all week! There's so much love for that white Dolomite, it seems. Can't say I'm surprised. It was beautiful.

[@jontaylor1652]

I've owned five Sprints over the years and there up there with my favourite cars ever, very special. Biggest regret is I haven't got one now....grrrrrr! Great show again, thanks.

[@michaelcaldicott3580]

Loved the white Dolly Sprint but the price..!!! Great watch keep em coming guys 😊

[@UKBarnFinds]

They're definitely creeping up, Dolomite prices. As I said in the video, I wish I'd bought one when they were cheaper! Thanks for watching and for the support. We really appreciate it.

[@raymondpearce5245]

A. Great video guys

[@UKBarnFinds]

Thank you. Claire put her heart and soul into this edit. I've hardly seen her all week. I couldn't do what she does. ~ Elton

[@iangoulding6840]

She's ace

[@Lot76CARS]

Great video guys, really enjoyed that, particularly both having preview and the results made it much more interesting,

[@UKBarnFinds]

Thank you. We’re glad the format worked for you. It was a fun video to make, too.

[@VwBeetleProject1969athom-ox9he]

Cool

[@johnbarnett7365]

Guys at least tick the LIKE button!! Great vid, v. professional.

[@richardmendham5278]

I've been Manor Park Classics right from the start, when Julian left HandH. (By the way, I still watch HandH and all the other classic car auction sites) I think he's fair, does't make a fuss and always try's to get the best price for both sides!

[@johnpritchard2772]

Hello both, so enjoyed the visit to the "Classic Car Auctions" with you, thought the land rover was going to be coming back with you? Would like to see a bit more about the "A35" car? Best wishes from Lincolnshire

[@rogerreed905]

Great video . . Love the format . . . As you had a go for the mini and missed out i thought you mite of gone for the MGB GT. . Hi from NZ . . Take care . .

[@UKBarnFinds]

If it had been a local car, maybe! It did seem so cheap. The cost of shipping it back would have bumped the price up, though. The reason for bidding on the Mini was more because we are big Mini fans (we own 3) and that was quite a special little one. We're glad it went to a good home, though.

[@SalisburyKarateClub]

I used to have a 924 many years ago. Wish I kept it, but it needed a lot of work, especially when I lost a timing belt. $3000 to rebuild, that's when I sold it.

[@dustystuffgarage]

I thought the Granada estate went for a good price ! The mgb Gt looked to be in good nick for 1100 quid. Looking forward to the next content on the A30. Cheers

[@markallchorn2438]

Great to see you nice folks enjoying the auction, and to see a couple with a passion about old cars. Looking forward to seeing the progress on the lovely little A30 . My A35 has clutch problems, during the winter I'm dropping the engine and gearbox ( best way through the underside ) then sort the problem and clean and tidy the engine bay. Great cars at the auction 👍

[@David-fj5lz]

That Granada is a big car to park and will a Khan target no doubt

[@lackodhr.5303]

👍👍👍💯

[@df9834]

Hi Guys just come across your channel. It’s fab, just subscribed. Can’t wait for the next episode 👍

[@UKBarnFinds]

Thank you! We’re enjoying finding our feet here and comments like this are really helpful. Glad to have you onboard.

[@MrJeddurso]

Can you please add chapters so we can skip to the cars we like? I really like these videos to see what people actually pay for the barn finds. Thanks for posting! I would just appreciate being able to go right to the chapters. Thanks!

[@UKBarnFinds]

Noted 👍 many thanks for your comment

[@AlanOrchard-bv6pw]

Somebody got a nice bargain on that MGB!

[@thomasshepard6030]

The Mini Cooper was my first car it was a 1964 same colour as the one in the auction accept for the stripe I bought it in 1973 for £40 it had only done 38 thousand miles it belonged to my mates uncle who passed away and left it to me because I used to get him things from the shops I painted it red and put a new set of wheels and tyres on it I sold it in 1975 to Oban police rally club wonder what happened to it fantastic wee car 🚗

[@gyro65]

Lanca beta looks nice whats back story on it .

[@carllockpick6179]

What year, did the mini Cooper put twin fuel tanks on.

[@Aardvarkdk1]

924, I used to own one, 1976, one of the first built. I never ran very good :(

[@PRG888]

Great video, loved the editing.... One quick question, whatever happened to the 2CV you have/had?

[@UKBarnFinds]

We still have it and, having witnessed one sell for crazy money at auction recently, I think we need to pull our fingers out and get it finished!

[@PRG888]

@@UKBarnFinds Defo would love to see progress on that one... Not sure how much you paid, but I paid 9k for ours so a fair amount of money (but it is perfect :-) )

[@D3VILD3VI]

bro not the bean mobile 😂

[@charliecoco2115]

Pretty sure those wheels and seats are not original on a 1964 Mini Cooper.

[@Roger.Coleman1949]

The seats are original but the wheels are the 10" ' Rostyle ' type fitted purely to early 1275GT models before the run-flat 12" Dunlop Denovo types appeared.

[@janvanderflier1723]

You talk to much
