I ATTEND A CLASSIC CAR AUCTION IN DORSET! SOUTH WESTERN VEHICLE AUCTION

[@SWVA]

Great to meet you and have you at the sale Mitch! We’re glad you enjoyed the sale! Smashing video aswell - you’re welcome back anytime! 🙌

[@MrGman2804]

I am 61 now, and always been into cars. Used to go to British Car Auctions in the early 1980's, and furiously read 'Thames Valley Trader' which then became TVT, then 'Autotrader'. It is amazing how cars that were a few £hundred are now many £thousands. Anyone got time machine?

[@Kendoddsdadsdogsdead532]

The Talbot Samba was the bargain of the day!

[@claymunsamy]

from SA and my dad has a Granada MK1 currently and had many from the 1980s good to see they appreciated

[@steverogersolo4]

Hi Mitch, the Prefect is a 107e

[@CODE-w5v]

Enjoyed the rd350lc throw in some bikes please I get it's not all but odd one I think your viewers would love. We just love engines😅

[@stevielegrand]

Loved the vid (your commentary is always spot-on) and adored that superb Merc too, Mitch. Not a bit surprised it went for so much, they are as rare as hen's teeth!

[@Jo007kin]

That MEXICO....took me way back...my dream car during the '70s. 🤗

[@charliejackman2953]

Only last week I saw a C reg. red Talbot Samba driving around in Fareham. Hadn't seem or heard of one for decades. Then there's another one in your video!

[@ferrarikangaroo9271]

I love these videos mate! Thank you for sharing them

[@jonricketts6570]

Mitch another great video loved the old Mercedes please keep up the great work

[@nicholasdavies6264]

That Mexico is an absolute GEM ! Wow ! 👍

[@BullyBoxer]

That Merc .👌🏼 Great content . Keep up the great work mate .👍🏼

[@carlpearson6734]

I had a Granada like that but in white with black vinyl roof, it got nicked in Bournemouth in 1989 when I was down to watch Leeds United win the old second division….there was thousands of cars and they took mine 😂

[@pooooornopigeon]

We had ours nicked when we were watching Carshalton Athletic play in the early 80's.

[@carlpearson6734]

@@pooooornopigeon small world 😂, rumour had it they wanted the 3 litre engine for the banger track and probably something to do with the scouse community in Bournemouth….i liked that car I traded in a mk1 escort estate for it, think the Granada was £400 😂

[@article21gdpr]

these get better mitch love them

[@davidclarke9767]

KZbin were taking the p-ss putting so many adverts on during your video.

[@caprilaser3]

Did you end up winning the car you mentioned you went to bid on? There was no mention of it at the end of the video 🤔

[@charliejackman2953]

I thought it was going to be the Astra Turbo.

[@pauldupre2269]

Yes, fair comment, I'd forgotten about that come the end!

[@ghostinthemachine76]

It’s a secret.

[@jon623197]

Another great auction vid, well done Mitch.

[@fourQQ]

That's me just rolled a Rastafarian old holburn and half hour in the auctions, Nice one Mitch

[@G4RY1159]

🤪

[@VTR_VXR_JEF]

I watched this auction, good to see your take on it. I have a 888 but a mk5 and they was a 200bhp diesel, if I didn't have my saxo I'd of had a bid on this mk4 😅😊👍🏻

[@TheLincolnshireFlyer]

Thank you for the video 👍😊

[@georgemorrison6689]

The Merc made strong money but it was a minter, the yellow MK1 was also an absolute peach and I think the prefect looked great but I remember riding around in the prefect when I was a boy I remember it being transformed to a 1760 crossflow and a 4 speed box before we moved onto Lotus Cortina's, I did see a Ford Pop in the background I would have liked to have seen that but you can't show them all, thanks fir taking us with you mate really enjoyed it

[@peterlee44]

Mitch great as always the Mercedes was the star of the show Parden the pun

[@lefthandscott]

Another top video Mitch! Love your "straight to the point" commentary 👌 Some beautiful motors there. The burgundy Merc and Yellow Mexico done it for me!👏 😊

[@hoggmotorsport]

Think the E30 iS was a reasonable price, cool car! Mk1 Mex was a nice thing too. Good vid mate 👍

[@willevans429]

good one

[@TheAsa1972]

That RD 350 will be getting a colour change it looked shocking like that

[@Rain-uc4ru]

Horrific, but worse yet than that : IIRC by 'F'-Reg they were the ugly "Brazilian" built versions that folks WERE told to "Avoid" - It's the Japanese YPVS versions that were sought after - My Manager / Director bought a 'C'-Reg late Japanese one that had been done-up back into original - I rode it on a test track & wrung it's neck, told "Ride Fast but DON'T blow it up, or you'll owe me £6k" - that was back in 1996//1997 It was fast, but felt like $hit compared to the older Japanese 1,000cc+ sportsbikes that I owned at the time & still do to this day. BTW : I grew up in the height of the RD.250-E & RD.400 boom, so I saw the 'LC' introduced & have it's run, LONG before the YPVS "power-valve" came into play, so, at the time, was well versed with the model, but never bothered buying any, as I was into the GPz.1100's, Z-1000-J's & Suzuki GS.1000-E's & GSX's of that period.

[@TheAsa1972]

@Rain-uc4ru I had the RD200 coffin tank and a RD350 ,loved the 350 getting the pegs down ,never forget the sound of them when you kick them over cold ,,magical

[@andrewcairns7719]

Great video👍

[@BrianTucker-oc1gl]

Top bloke Mitch for a man in his sixtys who enjoys your videos I'm just wondering what sixtys classic I will purchase.

[@nickbowes2627]

Hi Mitch, not seen your other half in the background of your videos off recent......

[@eddiek821]

That first Escort fitted with the worst Lion battery's ever killed the deal for me they are absolutely terrible 😅.

[@adebrade172]

That's the trouble with south Africa imports, great basic solid shell, but had hard life.

[@pit_stop77]

Being from Bournemouth, i didn't know South Western were still going, brought some pups from them over the years. Might give the next classic auction a go. Must be due to buy another pup 😂😂

[@kenrankin4523]

Nice one Mitch 😊

[@BullyBoxer]

Great content . Keep up the great work mate .👍🏼

[@markbuckman4393]

Still got the van then I haven’t seen you for a while. Great video love a good auction 👍

[@roberthamilton2334]

Some nice motors ,is there ever a Talbot Ti at the auctions they must be like hens teeth.

[@outrunninginflation4081]

Thanks Mitch, did you get a look at the old purple VW beetle by chance? Looked alright for the £2700 winner?

[@jeremywentworth1833]

I was born October 69 my late father had his own business from 21 & bought a new car every 2 years he came home from work mum was pregnant with me Dad had an E reg Cortina 1600E parked outside our house was a Ford prefect 100e , Dad said who's his that pile of crap outside to which my mum said mine. She had it a few years until the old man bought her a mini lol. When I was a teenager in the 80s mum had XR2s 2 of them & a G reg XR3I.

[@Rain-uc4ru]

Jez : I don't wanna rain on your parade mate & I'm sure as F'k no car expert, BUT where you'd said... "𝗘 𝗿𝗲𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝟭𝟲𝟬𝟬𝗘" - That cannot be possible - 'G'-Reg are the very first "𝗖𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝟭𝟲𝟬𝟬𝗘" = IIRC Put it this way : I used to go to work, daily, in "𝐓𝐏𝐔 𝟏𝟏𝟑 𝐄" a Mk.1 Estate in BR-Green I honestly think it'll most likely be a 'G'-Reg, as 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝟭𝟲𝟬𝟬𝗘's weren't available in 1966 , IIRC 'G'-Reg = IIRC, was August 1967 to July 1968 My own first car was a 1967 Sunbeam Rapier Fastback & that was an 'F'-Reg = Aug'66 to July 1967 So therefore ANY 'E'-Reg car would be Aug'65 to July'1966 That would be FAR too early for ANY road legal Publicly bought 'showroom' E-Reg 1600-E Ya cannot buy a 1600-E before it's launched to the Public - Hilarious !! I haven't looked up, but am typing purely by memory alone (I'm older than you), so, may stand corrected (?)

[@jeremywentworth1833]

I don't know possibly an F reg & they were definitely out in 69 as I was born 30 October I don't know how long old man had it when I was born but it was 9 months old when he bought due to ford strike I've never seen as I was a baby but was silver with black vinyl roof.

[@edbutler994]

Is the Granada tax & MOT exempt? I imported my 1989 3 series and was looking forward to tax/MOT exempt status but was told it applies from the date the car was registered in the UK, so I have to wait until 2055!!

[@stevey-nwas1230]

Another great video mitch.... It would be great if you could get the new owners on your channel... With their cars

[@Mk2Mitch]

New owners? It’s just me pal 😎

[@stevey-nwas1230]

@ what am saying Mitch .. get the new owners of the cars you featured in the auction on your channel and ask them about their new purchase and why the purchased it , what’s their plans etc etc

[@robertovicente1822]

Que legal aquele amarelo parece chevette no Brasil se dá esse nome só raridade

[@Rodders1884]

Great love these videos ….hope you are well fella 2:19

[@bigsighmusicdroneblogs1843]

I had exactly the same car mk1 Mexico great car not very good on corners tho , brakes wer pants , front brakes used to lock in either one side or the other , in in fact if i think right, I rote mine off, Head on into a truck I left the car quickly thru front windscreen. Didn't wear seatbelts then. Lol

[@renorti1]

All fetched very strong money {apart from black sierra est} don,t know what planet the buyer of that mini was on!

[@benpenagonzales6014]

It’s not Harry Metcalfe, it’s his Essex cousin!

[@tanglewood777]

escort xr3 i not a factory fitted sunroof its glass one

[@iain465g9]

Hi Mich just to say thank you for the code for Autodoc 👍

[@terrybarton8388]

Only £3,800 for the100E Prefect! After all that recommission work and re spray! Just goes to show certain cars are just not worth the money being ploughed into them.

[@barrywood5357]

The Jedi strikes again its a fair cop that you was flying solo and you aced it crack on be safe

[@Cameron-ev7rc]

Mitch what you talking about man. All rd are classics come on rd400c is where it’s at ask your dad. Mitch 34:18 with the sierra the driver head rest stock has rust on it 😢. Thanks for the new video. 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@tecdesigns8183]

I don't get the price for the xr3 compared to the 318is the BMW was a homologation special only made for one year with various m3 parts fitted I think suspension and steering. Whomever bought it got a bargain

[@MissStar-yp5gd]

I'm sure that's a consul dash

[@dennissimmonds9433]

If the cars dont sell does the owner still pay a fee.

[@Love2golf]

What did you have your eye on and did you buy it 😂😂

[@fatlad5090]

it's same with old classic trucks ass has fallen out the price. we'll some of them but mostly old British built trucks.

[@andrewsheedy6145]

[@Kiinell]
