How Much Did These Six Barn Find Cars Sell For? Find out here....

Six cars that we'd mentioned before, but how did they do at auction? Take a look and let us know what you think of the prices in the comments below...

[@CherylCold]

Granada for me. I've been very lucky with purchases but my dad loved his Granadas, the company car of choice. From 1979 to 1988 he was Granada, apart from a couple very short flirts with R30tx and Volvo 760 GLE which were quickly replaced. They hit the heart.

[@mangojones3707]

19k for an Astra. That's crazy!!

[@UKBarnFinds]

Blew me away, too, but nostalgia does seem to attract a premium these days 😳 Nice to see a Vauxhall giving the Fords a run for their money in the price stakes.

[@jeremywentworth1833]

Not a MK1 but I've owned a 89 F reg MK2 Astra GTE 16V my brother owned presumably 1 of the very first in a B reg 85 1.8 GTE followed by a 90 G reg 2.0 GTE . My brother also owned an A reg Manta GTE. Dad also owned an X reg Granada Ghia X.

@@UKBarnFinds my second at 21 my GTE followed by 2 years later a J reg Cavalier Gsi 2000. Which of all the cars I've had in 35 years of driving is the car I loved the most, only car I was genuinely upset when I sold it after 4 years or so of owning it

[@TheBeardedExplorer]

I have a nice mk1 Golf that would fit right in there 😅

For sale? Drop Guy Snelling at Anglia Car Auctions a line - [e-mail] . Mention us to him and we’ll film it, if it’s in the next auction 😀

[@bringmeblueskies]

love that Manta GTE that's my choice

[@UKBarnFinds]

Must admit, I have a soft spot for those, too.

[@ewanstewart8011]

Thanks for the video that was truly riveting and I was hoping that the Astra would have made 18k hammer price, I would take it over an RS Turbo all day long 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

Glad you enjoyed the video Ewan and yep that Astra is a great car!

[@peterward3965]

Wow! Thank you for this video, what an eye opener. The Granada Estate was my car of choice. Having sold my very nice example for a similar amount back in 2016. Now would be worth double. At times I think some folk have more money than sense, as they let their heart rule their head. Really enjoyed watching this video , thank you, cheers 🍻

[@UKBarnFinds]

Thank you. As we're fairly new to creating KZbin content, we never know what is right and what is wrong. This was one of those "I wonder if anyone will be interested?" videos, but we thought we'd give it a go. I'm glad it's been entertaining for some of you. A good example of a Granada may go for more than double, by the way!

[@peterward3965]

@@UKBarnFinds yes old ford's have shot up in price that's for sure. You're both doing a grand job, in life you'll never please everyone, but if you don't have a go at things you'll never know. I think you're on the right road ☺ 🍻

[@lewis72]

If these high-premium cars, like the GTE, hold their value, then it's not so crazy stumping up £20k for an early '80s hot-hatch. Compared to the total cost of buying a 3 year old Focus RS or ST, it will probably be much cheaper.

[@raychambers3646]

Did ever see the basket case Cooper status went for £18000 ?

[@peterward3965]

[@davidbarnsley8486]

I’m surprised the manta didn’t sell and was such a low bid I thought they were very desirable, obviously not

[@AndyK.1]

Wow. GTE. Mk1

[@UKBarnFinds]

I think the GTE was my favourite car of the sale. I’d love to know who bought it!

[@UKBarnFinds]

Hey Leon, they had an Allegro in the sale and maybe a Range Rover? If you head over to their website www.angliacarauctions.co.uk you can still view the classic auction catalogue from the sale. They also include how much the cars went for.

[@paulweller7078]

Owned a MK1 gte about 20yrs ago, took of the road for restoration but when i started to dismantle realised the amount of welding needed was too much for me so i got the scrap man to take it away. Bad decision on my part would have been worth a few quid nowadays, still have good memories of owning and driving it though.

[@UKBarnFinds]

Absolutely! I’ve never owned one, but having seen the interest in this one, kinda wish I had!

[@Phil-1969]

Twice now you have deleted a comment I have sent , God knows why. Anyway unsubscribing now

[@UKBarnFinds]

Hi Phil, I don’t recall deleting any of your comments. We do hold comments for review on this channel so they are not published until we approve them. Wish we didn’t have to do that but unfortunately spammers and inappropriate comments are a big problem on YT

[@UKBarnFinds]

Hi Phil, Elton here. Your previous comments on the Astra GTE replica are still there. I've just replied to them again, in the hope you'd get the notifications - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGnJoqGeh7aAqpI As Claire has already mentioned, we haven't deleted any comments. Hope you come back, but, if not, enjoy your cars and thanks for watching the previous videos.

[@Norrie-jj2ve]

Loved the video Elton, great work mate...and love watching cars I grew up with, that Manta was gorgeous...and so cheap too...:)

[@UKBarnFinds]

That Manta was amazing wasn’t it. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video 😀

Love a Probe

[@Mercmad]

I am sure F O R D would having a laugh with their car names. They had a lot of Space names,Eg Lazer, telstar, Meteor ,etc but they topped it off with "probe" 😁👽👽

[@Brian-cm5gw]

What do they say about fools and their money

[@John64125]

The Granny is a better car than the Manta. 5,700 is about 5,690 more than I would pay for the Manta. Rare trick of horrible ride and rotten handling, it wasn’t good when it was new so isn’t good now.

[@oliverpetroski4205]

Whats sad, is for these cars like the Astra (being sold as Opel Cadett) at my place in east europe the aking price per single car would be over 5 000 euros, no tire kickers no low ballers, because of crazy owners who sell them.

[@LoftechUK]

What was we like at kids. Strip these old cars and race them. 18k omg.

[@UKBarnFinds]

I know what you mean. When I think of the cars we scrapped 😳

[@ferrochinabisleri1587]

1100£ for that bucket of rust?

[@Buck3366]

Used to have a Kadett 1.3 SR on an X plate in about ‘93 Never saw another only a 1.6 SR

[@F4Insight-uq6nt]

People generally prefer the Saloon Manta shape. They usually make a little more money like for like.

After watching the auction on KZbin, will definitely go to the next one in August. Might even consider bidding on something that floats my boat, perhaps. Will say hello if I see you.

[@jontaylor1652]

I think some people must have more money than sense.

[@UKBarnFinds]

If they do, I’m all for it. We need people to keep these cars alive!

[@jontaylor1652]

@@UKBarnFinds I totally agree with you, but if the prices were kept within reality there would be far more of them around. As the market is right now the people who pay out crazy prices are doing more damage than good. Only my opinion of course. There are tons of old cars I'd love to own again but I'll never pay the prices people ask these days because realistically the cars just aren't worth that.

[@F4Insight-uq6nt]

The Astra is very nice. I used to Have a 1.3S same shape for my first car.

[@UKBarnFinds]

I’ve cars. I remember my friend having one, back in the day. We had no idea they’d be a collector’s item one day!

[@terra2805]

I used to drive a mk1 Astra 1600 S. It was stolen recovered when I got it for cheap. It had low mileage and drove beautifully. I'm talking early nineties here though. They were still everywhere then. They're as rare as hens teeth now though. It's a shame that GTE is only a replica.

[@UKBarnFinds]

I remember them being all over the place, too. I was into Minis at the time, so didn’t touch them. I did have a Chevette, though, and enjoyed that car. The replica on pallets in this video was probably quite fun in its day. The genuine GTE in the video was amazing. I hope the new owner enjoys it.

[@terra2805]

@UKBarnFinds I've also driven a chevette back in the day (I'm old lol) and a mk1 cavalier. I loved the way they drove. Very easy and comfortable to drive! Had a few minis too, a Cooper being my last one (new shape) just last year. Nothing like the original though of course!

[@Jus287]

Ford Probe is a horrible car. It’s just some American thing switched to RHD.

I've never experienced one first hand, but the scarcity of them appeals to me now. I don't think it would be enough for me to want to buy one, though, although I do like seeing them at shows.

[@NorthernMouse52]

The Ford Probe is a beautiful car, l had a metallic sapphire blue 24v year's ago and found it was as smooth to drive as a 1987 ford Orion 1.4L four speed, l owned it for 5yrs without a issue, regular maintenance and she ran sweetly for me, l miss that Car.
