Thank you for another great narrated and in-depth look at the auctioned cars which was a fantastic watch and much appreciated Mitch. It must be hard not to just throw your hand up at some of these beauties that went under the hammer, but mate even some of these basic classic cars are getting so expensive now. Look forward to the next post. 👍

Mitch never mind too long - I was disappointed it finished so soon!! I think that red BMW was an M535i rather than an M5 - the difference being of course, that the one at the auction had the 12valve 218bhp engine - the full fat M5 is the 24valve 286bhp and would have gone for several multiples of what that one didnt sell for😂 Such a great video, could have watched for another 45 minutes!!

Yuk, you brought back memories of me having to endure, driving a 1996 Escort 55D van at work.....the 1.6D version. They were so bad. 0-60 mph time is stated as 14 secs, felt more like 20+ secs! A zero for looks too! 2 good things about them, they key unlocked the doors and the stereo was like any other stereo.

I loved the mk5 cortina and the 3.0S capri. But if i brought the mk2 Escort estate immediately when i'dve got home I'd have to take off the mk1 Mexico stripes as they just look wrong on a mk2. Despite the fact that mk1 and mk2 estates shared the same bodyshell but with a different front. It was obviously a "Mexico tribute" done on the cheap as it still had its factory square headlamps and chrome bumpers, as well as its original interior. The picture in the car is a mk1 with RS2000 stripes plus bubble arches.
