I ATTEND A CLASSIC CAR AUCTION IN HERTFORDSHIRE!

[@Mk2Mitch]

Apologises I seem to have confused the Sierra pick ups and the 3.0 Cortina pick ups that are imported from South Africa 😅👍🏻 Every days a school day!

[@jon623197]

Great vid as always, thanks for taking the time to include the bidding footage. Both Cortina and Sierra based P100s were available in the UK.

[@paulriggers1558]

they also sold cortina pickups [mk5]

[@RonnieMain]

Quality vid BTW. I'm sure the P100 had a Capri 2.8 V6 lumped in it by someone back in the day.

[@paulriggers1558]

P100 pickup was available in uk, started mk5 cortina shape, before turning to sierra shape fun fact, my wife used to hire p100s for her company. she hired a brand new one, 20 miles on the clock, it lasted 4hrs, the driver drove it off an unfinished motorway bridge, it fell 30 feet onto a pile of gravel + snapped in half... then she had to phone up for another one...

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you for the correction! That’s what I get for not growing up with these vehicles 😆

[@georgemorrison6689]

When I was serving my time at the Ford dealer we sold loads of these pick ups and we run one as a workshop vehicle,

[@Mk2Mitch]

That’s very cool! Yeah my mistake a blonde moment comment from me 🤣

[@grahamsmith5768]

Yes you are absolutely correct, the Capri is exempt in a few years, my apologies for previous comment, I wasn't paying full attention,....too focused on looking at that great shape.

[@nielarmstrong7721]

Nice to see my family’s old Puma is still on the road! 😊

[@Mk2Mitch]

Yes still going mate! Went for similar money again too 😎

[@eyesodd]

That's a "quick shift" gearstick in the camper, reduces the throw by about 25%. The button is simply to engage reverse.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Brilliant, thank you for informing me 😎

[@onceuponatimeintoronto891]

Had a 72 and 77 Capri Ghia, I think they were 2.8 liters if I remember right, fun and fast cars and loved the window wiper bulb you pushed on the floor to clear the windscreen.

[@markp6982]

That 1.5 Capri looked amazing. Great cars. I had a couple of Mk 1's back in the day.

[@kevcaratacus9428]

Mk1 Capri best looking imo

[@sydsurfman012]

the Roller under bonnet light works with the side lights!

[@Mk2Mitch]

Interesting! Thank you 😁

[@SpacedOdyssey]

NON UK SPEC , MR2 The G-Limited was a trim level of the SW20, it was the higher-specification naturally aspirated model. It came with electric folding mirrors, steering fog lamps, and a rear spoiler.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Brilliant, thank you for the info! 😎

[@robaustin245]

No bored out Pinto on carbs is producing 185hp. Someone's in Dreamland.

[@swebb302]

Probably 150-60 but it will sound 🎉

[@Mk2Mitch]

Certainly can, I know a bloke who can get 200+ bhp out of a pinto 👌🏻 Only way to confirm would be to check the dyno print out 👍🏻

[@ASI-l2w]

Rover SD1 have lights under the bonnet too. Nice video..thanks. 👍🏻

[@Mk2Mitch]

Very interesting, thank you 👍🏻

[@RonnieMain]

The Mondeo LX def didn't come with those wheels as STD, nice upgrade.

[@charliejackman2953]

Some bargains there - Thanks for sharing Mitch

[@Mk2Mitch]

Your welcome! 👍🏻

[@mpe6678]

Hi Mitch, great video. Unfortunately P100's were not available here in S.A bud but i see that you have post and rectified yourself. Top man.👍 Take care.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Hi mate, cheers it was a massive blonde moment from myself but we can’t all be perfect 🤣

[@petergrinnell2500]

There was plenty of p100s around back in the 80s and they was ones with a courtina front pick ups as well loved the Capri but couldn't afford it but the puma is a good buy as the 1.7 engine are rare as its very true like you said 👍

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you for informing me! I guess that’s what I get for not growing up in the 80s 🤣

[@trytellingthetruth.2068]

For me the Mondeo was the car of the auction.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Was a lovely example! 👍🏻

[@bigadamski66]

Mitch!!!! You've done it to me again ffs..... Stunning Triumph Stag in almost every bidding shot and........not a word :(

[@Mk2Mitch]

Sorry pal, it’s very hard to cover all the vehicles!!

[@markoverton5858]

That capri with the tuned engine sparked my interest, back in the day the v6 was the daddy but it was a pig to drive cornering confused them, but take the heavy v6 scrap out and fit in a tuned four pot they were passable as a sporty toy, would have bid on that one to win it, enjoyed your vlog nice one, lots of great memories for me seeing all that old iron 👍👏👏👏

[@davidnash1220]

Excellent thank you for posting this 👍

[@Mk2Mitch]

Your very welcome! Glad you enjoyed 👍🏻

[@PaulioBee]

That Mondeo was definitely the play of the day. Almost too good to daily drive, but if you were to use it, it's a lot of car for not much money.

[@swebb302]

🤮

[@Mk2Mitch]

I agree! Certainly a surviver 😁

[@tavners8044]

I need that Mondeo haha my name is tav

[@Mk2Mitch]

What a bonus! 😁

[@nickcarvell8635]

Great video as always. Love these.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you! 👍🏻

[@russfoggan4092]

Another great vid Mitch, wish you had more time to show us more but I really need to make time to come visit myself, I'm just afraid!!!!!

[@Mk2Mitch]

You should definitely take a trip yourself! I will do my best to make some longer videos 😎

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

I absolutely love the P100s they are really cool I might have bought that myself at that price because i need another project ……ahem right ! 😂 nice one Mitch I’m surprised you never dragged that Mondeo home that was a nice tidy ride …you know you need one 😜

[@Mk2Mitch]

I liked that P100, certainly learnt a bit about where they were available etc 🤣 Yes I loved that mondeo!

[@cameronpollock]

you should put some of the car models in the title description "I attended a Classic Car Auction - Ford P100, Fiat 126".

[@Mk2Mitch]

I’ll try that next time! 😎

[@iancairns7398]

I'm starting to see alot of cars going to auction that have been up for sale for a long time at silly prices, the escort convertible is one of those examples.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Yes many go to auction after sitting online for a while! Where was the escort advertised?

[@iancairns7398]

@@Mk2Mitch it was on Autotrader for ages.

[@endlessrage4062]

The P100 was widely available and seen on the UK roads….

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you, bit of a blonde moment from myself! Guess that’s what I get for not growing up in the 80s 🤣

[@G4RY1159]

Thanks again dude

[@Mk2Mitch]

Your more than welcome! 👍🏻

[@redpill3145]

You should of done the xantia and the polo , low mileage affordable future classics

[@Mk2Mitch]

I would have loved to cover them but unfortunately I only have limited time at these auctions 👍🏻 Will try find some at another auction though!

[@adub8190]

I had the p100 in uk as a works vehicle and before that the Cortina p100

[@semiretired86]

the P100 was also available in Denmark wasn't that much of a succes

[@mally9226]

we had a p 100 in 1983 when they frst came out in the uk

[@ricknick74]

Mondeo was a absolute bargain

[@Mk2Mitch]

I thought so too!

[@grantmail4112]

Always good to see 👍😎🍺

[@Mk2Mitch]

Glad you enjoyed 😎

[@karlgt9989]

Would have been all over that Fiat 126, crying out for an engine conversion

[@Mk2Mitch]

Went cheap too! 👍🏻

[@charliecoco2115]

Buyer fees there are much too steep!🤬 Wasn't it £1000 fees on that Capri?

[@Mk2Mitch]

Common misconception with these videos, the Capri sold provisional! Meaning the auction would have talked to the vendor and the hugest bidder to negotiate a price. The sold for price is the agreed price plus the fees. Could’ve been £5,500/£5,600 my guess 👍🏻

[@paulmcdonough1190]

$6000 spent on the Rolls was probably an oil change and tire rotation 😂

[@Mk2Mitch]

🤣🤣🤣

[@laserracer6]

Another great auction Mitch ..how about a bit more Loren in your vids

[@Mk2Mitch]

Cheers mate, not sure about your obsession with Lauren…🤣

[@mitchmitchell515]

Great vid and good content cheers

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed! 👍🏻

[@JohnBrookes6128]

Hi Mitch do you ever see classic Honda CRX'S in these auctions. Great video and keep up the great work on the escort 👍

[@Mk2Mitch]

Hi mate, can’t say I’ve seen one before but I will keep an eye out for one! Thank you 😎

[@Geckatron]

Cool video - Capri or MR2 would be my choices, if I had money, space etc 😂

[@geforce_nova2106]

Funny enough I’m now the owner of that mr2, picked it up from the auction last week

[@Geckatron]

Nice one - all the best with it 😁

[@geforce_nova2106]

I can confirm, it’s a bit rusty 😂

[@dale3852]

Was much fetching good prices. What I mean is was it good for sellers or good for buyers ? Cheers. I might put my 205 in June.

[@Mk2Mitch]

I’d say it depends on the vehicle mate! If you give them a email they will come back with a good evaluation 👍🏻

[@MrRedfreds]

Mondeo bargain of the day.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Was a cracking motor 👍🏻

[@briansaiditsoitmustbetrue4206]

Not too sure about the red Ford Capri... If I were looking for one of these I would always like "Factory bog standards" OK, It only originally had 72BHP ..But if I wanted a fast car...Then I would just buy a fast car.

[@trevdean540]

Also has a the early mk2 front grille on it.

[@Mk2Mitch]

That’s fair enough! Each to their own 👍🏻

[@teralmiles]

Your accent is too cute!!!!

[@patrickshiels9382]

Good man 🍀🇮🇪🍀👍👍

[@tomasdevine7756]

Mr2 was cheap, i forgive you for the mondeo, you're right, plenty of miles left in her.

[@Mk2Mitch]

I thought so! Yeah I loved that mondeo 👌🏻

[@stevesas632]

Nice video, but did you miss two of the more interesting cars, an Audi S3 8L (better than the RS6 barge) & a Porsche 924 Turbo?

[@Mk2Mitch]

Yes I did miss them, unfortunately I have limited time at these auctions and it’s very hard to record every vehicle 👍🏻 I will try and find some more at another auction soon!

[@christophernugent620]

yow bro r you going to put a light under the bonnet off the mk2,,👊👊👊👊

[@Mk2Mitch]

Haha not a bad idea 🤣😎

[@Choober65]

I'd take that Capri over ANY other car anyday. P100 will spend more time going backwards round corners then it will forwards. TOTAL POS.

[@colinmccaughey418]

That mondeo was a cheap car watch it go up in value they are all junk now

[@manofweed1]

Sad how cheap these old Rollers go for now. Suppose they're just too crippling to sort out, whilst not being true 'classics' ? Will their day come ?

[@alancrisp1582]

Keep in mind Rolls_Royce make a lot of this model around 20 thousand plus ➕ though marks 1 - 4. As they did with the Silver Shadow. So they are not exactly rare. They are also very expensive to maintain and keep running on the road !..

[@craigjenkins8043]

That capri was nice

[@Mk2Mitch]

It was! Needed a little tlc but good overall example 👌🏻

[@johndawson8806]

p100s were available in uk i had a few

[@Mk2Mitch]

Yeah your completely correct! Forgive my blonde moment comment 😅

[@markbrisbane8929]

I had the same mondeo but it was a ghia edition it had the classic plastic walnut dash but I loved it ,great review keep up the great work 👊👍🐝

[@neilsessions9744]

the fiat has probably driving non stop since the 80s to get to 20000 miles at 5mph

[@Mk2Mitch]

🤣🤣🤣

[@terryh192]

Fact : the P100 was available in the UK. Built in South Africa

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you for correcting me! 👍🏻

[@martinafitzgerald6995]

I'd love to see a MK1 capri , when I was a kid I thought that they.were the class !

[@Mk2Mitch]

I’ll keep an eye out for one! 👍🏻

[@johndawson8806]

that barbie pink fiat was a bargain if it did sell?

[@Mk2Mitch]

Yes it did sell!

[@patclifford9260]

Excellent video Mitch keep up the good work

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you! 😁

[@nigelhaines7900]

Had 2 p100s great for building work horse they were prone to rust thou

[@RyaanStyl]

Me and my dad bought the capri 👌🏻 solid car and very clean underneath

[@Mk2Mitch]

Congratulations on the purchase! Looked a great car overall 😎

[@steverogers2369]

Thanks Mitch out of interest did any of the classics make over reserve? It didn't look very well attended.

[@Mk2Mitch]

I couldn’t answer that mate as not too sure on the other vehicles. Only the ones I covered 👍🏻

[@Orangedog24]

All good stuff as usual Mitch some nice motors and your presenting skills are getting better that intro was very professional 😁

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you pal! Really appreciate that 👌🏻

[@TheGreatest1974]

£5k is wild for that non original capri. 3 or 4 years ago that would’ve been £3k.

[@Mk2Mitch]

I thought that was fairly reasonable considering the money gone into the engine alone!

[@tonyfurneaux3399]

Good vid as always Mitch, thanks for sharing.😁

[@Mk2Mitch]

Your welcome! 😁

[@trevdean540]

Capri also has none original front grille.Has one off a MK2 Capri.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Good spot 👍🏻

[@alanrobertson5665]

The Audi is perth/Dundee registered

[@Mk2Mitch]

Great information, thank you!
