@lkearney729911 күн бұрын
Classics have been on thin ice for a while. Much of the problem as I see it is (as usual) because of government meddling and the eco nonsense. I reckon the peak car to buy would be high end stuff without hybrid clutter, no lane assist and the like and if possible pre GPF (exhaust filter). Still 'Euro 6" but minimal tech clutter to cause problems a few years later.

@oscarsgarage447Ай бұрын
Maybe its the slower nature of the sale? More time to consider putting in another bid, whereas the live auction its all over very quickly. Also need to bear in mind how many of those on line type auctions actually complete without any problems? From my experience you do get a number not complete as either due to high bidder just not showing up or haggling on viewing.
