Welcome back all,
In this weeks video we head back up to Anglia Car Auctions, to attend their November, 2 day classic car auction. These auctions have become quite the highlight in our calendar and we always look forward to the weekend up in Kings Lynn.
This sale was slightly more wet an miserable than usual but the selection of cars soon brightened up my weekend! Some of my favourite classics included the 2.8 Ford Capri, Track built Golf GTI, Citroen AX GT and I also loved the little Ford Puma which went so cheap!
It was great to bump into lots of subscribers at the auction, who said their visit was prompted by my previous videos up at ACA. The auction really is a great way to spend a weekend, with lots of the classics going for bargain prices and others, jaw dropping sky high prices!
As always please do let me know what your pick of the auction was. Also if you’d like to see a particular vehicle make or model, please let me know as I always try to hunt down cars that subscribers want to see!

This man provides people with a real life indication of classic car values. A quick description and then straight to the price. No messing about - excellent videos - thank you sir.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy the format of these videos 😁

[@graemew7001]

Let's just take a moment to appreciate Lauren for standing around all day in the freezing cold and wet when it wasn't her video, she could have spent the day tucked up in the warm, but no, that's dedication. The car of the auction for me was the Hillman Imp, gorgeous car. Mitch, they're water cooled but did suffer with over heating issues, the engine was originally a race engine called the Coventry Climax which was altered for the Imp for road use.

2 days*!

[@graemew7001]

@@Retrorixy Thanks for pointing that out, I meant to edit it but forgot!

Love the seirra estate , love estate cars

[@graemew7001]

@@iankennedy1441 My Dad had a 1.8LX Sierra estate, was a good car although the weak point was the 1.8 CVH, he put a second engine in it (miles unknown), did 60k and needed another so he got rid. To be honest though, the first engine lasted 120k so the car certainly had a life.

[@timday6087]

You’re showing your young age Mitch…that’s definitely a car phone in the BMW!! :)

[@yumyumbaboon]

Yeah, I think perhaps it was the lead that threw him?!

[@Mk2Mitch]

Haha I know, not sure why I was so convinced it wasn't a phone 🤣

[@karlgt9989]

That Imp was a steal at £3k, such a cool car

[@NickHudson2]

Loved it Mitch well done buddy especially filming in that weather you guys must have got soaked! The burgundy Granada wins it for me that paintwork looked incredible 👌

[@tonyfurneaux3399]

Hi Mitch, very good vid as usual mate, thanks for sharing. One thing I have to say, great auctioneers, none of the usual constant mouthing like American cattle auctions, so refreshing.

[@Mk2Mitch]

I agree mate these auctioneers are spot on and to the point 👍🏻

[@cadizsummers3078]

Your format suits me. You look at a car then direct to its sale price. Not seen you before but now a subscriber.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you for subscribing to the channel, plenty of auction videos to come 😁

[@Robhalifax]

My first view of this channel. A very well put together vid. Straight to the point. No fluff.I will subscribe.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you for subscribing to the channel! 😁

[@michaeledwards427]

Great video Mitch. Earlier today I watched Mathewsons auctions video of a mk2 Ford Granada 2.8 ghia in red. Then just now I've watched this video also featuring a mk2 Granada 2.8 in red. Cars looked identical, so when it didn't sell at ACA, I'm thinking they've taken it to Mathewsons to sell it. I re-looked at their video and its NOT same car! One Granada for Saturday, one for Sunday maybe? I hope you got Lauren a hot bovril to warm her up after this auction. Keep up the fantastic work Mitch.

[@Mk2Mitch]

That's seems to be quite the coincidence, I would've been doing the same as you and checking both the registrations! Thank you, I'm glad you like these videos 👍🏻

[@paulriggers1558]

hilman imp is water cooled, the radiator was behind that big fan cowling. it was a 1ltr 4cyl all alloy OHC, really nippy motor, cars were made in scotland, a rival to the mini the p100 pickups were built in south africa, they started with mk3 cortina front ends, then mk5 cortina fronts, then the sierra front end. They were a hoot to drive in the wet, many pairs of underpants were ruined driving them flat out everywhere in the rain... most were 2ltr pintos, all were hire vehicles...

[@andrewellison1203]

Thanks so much for showing the Capri 2.8 😊 and now Ford have an electric one 😮

[@Orangedog24]

Good stuff Mitch really enjoyed this nice long vid my favourite was the Capri what a beauty I just I just love 80’s Fords , looks like you had a good day . Look forward to seeing the next upgrade on the T4

[@susanhenderson2322]

Camper van conversions and classic auctions, thats not going to get the escort finished. Awesome vid , as always

[@Mk2Mitch]

Got to enjoy some of the weekends getting out and about 😆

[@ColinPrince]

Mitch, really enjoyed the auction. Nice selection of cars. Surprised that the Vauxhalls weren’t like Swiss Cheese underneath. I’d love the Imp; my wife had the exact same as the one on your show. Aluminium engine, water cooled, nice grocery better, with a lot of good memories. Thanks.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Hi mate, glad to hear you enjoyed the video 😁

[@kevindoyle5402]

What an auction Mitch.Loved the clean Renault 5, the beautiful mini van, The vauxhall gte 🤤,my favourite (think I drooled when you showed that) .They where a proper weapon on the road. And that pristine granada 🔥. Great video as always mate!!

[@stephenport4768]

Hillman Imps engine is the Coventry Climax engine it's water-cooled and prone to overheating if not looked after

[@philkfoto]

Kings Lynn is near me as I live in Norwich. But my interest was in LandRovers but never reviewed, disappointingly.

[@Mk2Mitch]

If you live close why not give them a visit at the next classic auction! It's free entry too 😁

[@T4TipsGuides]

I found your channel recently due to the T4 content, but I have watched quite a few of your auction vids now and I am really enjoying them. The Puma looks nice. Not too many left now. £1,260. Someone got a bargain.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you subscribing to the channel and watching some other videos, I'm glad you enjoy thew auction content 😁

[@G4RY1159]

Wouldn't fancy a long distance holiday in that little Rascal. always wanted a 2.8i Capri but never had the pockets for one, maybe buy a Brooklands if ever the lottery landed, wishful thinking! Thanks again fella for the tour around, always enjoyable. Cheers!

[@Mk2Mitch]

Glad you enjoyed the video, no me neither that rascal was very small 😆

[@andywalker]

Some good cars in that auction. I think the Mondeo Mark 1 4x4 will be next on the list to go up in value, and the Sierra Sapphire 4x4 Ghia, to name a few.

[@rossmclaren71]

Absolutely love these auction videos ! Hope to see loads more and some more sponsors coming on board to help you 👍

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you, glad you enjoy these auction videos as much as I enjoy making them! 😎

[@ewanstewart8011]

Great long video Mitch and that Puma was an absolute bargain 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you mate, it was a real bargain for sure! 👍🏻

[@johnsprason1199]

Another Great vid Mitch and to Lauren for braving the weather with you. I noticed in this vid a TR7 please if you spot another please film it 👍🏻 thanks

[@richardsmith-gx7nt]

I was a mechanic at Harvey Hudson where the mini van came from brought back lots of happy memories.

[@Mk2Mitch]

That's great to hear 😁

[@matthewgodfrey5292]

Yes that was a phone in the BMW 😂 The best deal there was the Puma. I knew the second I saw that xr3i that they'd be a leak somewhere 😂 My favourite car was that Granada. What a beaut. Great video as always mate. 👍

[@Mk2Mitch]

I was convinced it wasn't a phone...🤣

[@zeroone5097]

hIYA , Enjoyed the video many thanks , loved seeing the 2.8 Granada , my favourite car there was not shown apart from some footage in the background and that was the Sunbeam Rapier fastback , would have loved to have seen that go through , that's my dream car right there i believe it was Green met paint job , stay safe and many thanks , will look forward to the next one .

[@MrRedfreds]

Would be nice to have a follow up video, with the people who bought some of the cars, the escort van especially, was worth saving. Another great video 📹 👏 👍

[@Mk2Mitch]

That's a great idea, possibly something I could do further down the line 👍🏻

[@TheLincolnshireFlyer]

The Capri is one of the early 2.8i’s with 4 speed box. More Capris please!

[@statementleaver8095]

That 635 BMW looked GANGSTA !!

[@EnochPowellsLibrarian]

Loving that Granada . My uncle had the 2.8 ghia X version of that back in the early 80s . Oh ,And that actually was a carphone BTW 👍

[@alxgu198]

Bloody hell, where do you start?! You could create an amazing 10 car garage for the price of a second hand Focus!!! … Some absolute gems among them too! The Minis, the Imp, the Bedford Danbury … 😮

[@brianiswrong]

Must take some time to edit, but the fact we see a car and your description of it, and then we see it cross the sales floor, hammer down and see a price including fees for each featured car is brilliant.👍

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you, I'm glad you appreciate the time and effort that goes into making these videos 😁

[@Mk2Mitch]

[@TheRastler]

Hillman imp super, I think the radiator on the left behind the water pump might have been a clue as to the cooling

[@Mk2Mitch]

I did not see that!

[@iain465g9]

Great channel really enjoy the classic cars all the cars of my era 70,80,90s and lot of them I owned but here's a challenge for you a ford probe 24v 2.5 a car you may struggled to find. I passed my test in a hillman imp and my daughter learnt in a metro but passed in a puma so great memories thank you.

[@stevesas632]

Wow over 4k for that washing machine..........er er i mean Uno 😂 Crazy price for what must be a terrible car to drive, 45bhp. The Puma went for 3k less than this as well. Madness.

[@thoroughcleanservices8263]

Back golf r32 definitely a future classic 👌

[@jut20five]

Great video as per Mitch. I learnt something today too…laugh if you want but I didn’t know what split rims were😂

[@LeeRestoration1275]

ill certainly be putting my mk6 escort van through the auction, its mint , not a ding or a dent anywhere , 55k miles ... should see good money for it

[@Mk2Mitch]

I'm sure it will fetch good money 😎

[@dreammaker730]

Nope an imp is water cooled mitch👍. Great little cars with very high reving engines . 3k looked to be good value .

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you for informing me 😁

[@millie1107]

Thanks again for the auction review. Those P100 diesel engines were rubbish as the head gaskets go for a past time, i had a petrol one, a 2.0 pinto one, but in the end i put a 2.8 turbo injection engine in, but standard looks from the outside 😁

[@steverogersolo4]

I recon Ford Capri's are gonna sky rocket as Ford are producing a new 23/24 one that looks sh!te...the 3ltr S was the best with mesh head rests imo 😊

[@TheBiglfb]

Agree I owned a midnight blue 3.0s with the mesh headrests and vinyl roof, amazing motor went like stink, not a lot of cars could keep up with her back in the 80's if only I still had her....... Oh well I can dream I suppose !!!!

[@alxgu198]

Weren’t the 3.0 all auto though? 🤔. The 2.8i Brooklands probably would be my pick. Always loved the look of the Capri though.

Capri interior is wrong

[@MarathonGsar]

Maybe you are thinking of the Recaro seats? Interior is definitely spot on. For a 'base' 2.8. Very similar (maybe the same) as the previous S models. I used to see S model with Recaro seats with the mesh headrests. I've not sure about Recaros in 2.8s, but I'd bet they were an option. Or possibly the 2.8i Special had different interior? I'm just not that clued in about Capris. But I saw loads with that very interior, I'm sure the run out Brooklands had Recaros, leather or half leather... I'm not sure. I remember the Laser models having laser seats. Very similar to the new XR3 (no 'i' at launch) Lasers definitely didn't get Recaros, just the regular seats with the laser pattern. Back then that was the look. Golf started the check party (I think) my TR7, my friends Cavalier SR (still no 'i') Astra GTE probably others... But definitely the pattern to have!

[@tomasdevine7756]

Cavalier cop car went for nothing given away.

[@brianiswrong]

I guess the chances of renting it out to a film crew has dried up.
