Classic Car Auctions CCA preview walk - Rowan Atkinson, Jamie Oliver and Wheeler Dealer cars

[@PeterJones-x3b]

Jonny - quick question (love these videos), is there a way you can do follow up videos so we can hear what the featured cars actually go for? (unless I've missed them, in which case apologies)

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

Head to our Tiktok account where we will reveal many final prices.

[@alexirving1251]

I could spend a lot of money there😮, one quick question, when you were looking at the XJS jags, why did the red one have a BMW grill stuck on it, bonkers!

[@Rural_racer]

Went on the auction website to see the results some bargains and surprises!

[@MohammedMangera]

From the Auction site: Leading Jaguar dealer, Guy Salmon, commissioned a limited Jubilee Edition (1935-1985) of 25 XJS 5.3-litre V12s, of which only ten are thought to survive Distinguishing features included four round headlights, a unique front grille, roof spoiler, extra chrome work, Walnut veneer throughout the interior and a Moto-Lita sports steering wheel

Hi Johnny, Ford Fiesta ULH 467X. This car was sold at Matthewson's Auctions in March 2024 Lot 515. It sold for £6200. We looked at it with the intention of buying. At the time of viewing on the 12th March 2024 there was damage to each of the wheel arches. The o/s front wing was rotten through where in joined with the sill. It required a fair bit of work. There was extensive paperwork and the back story that we were given was that it had stayed "within" one family. It was believed (so we were told) that the damage to the arches was caused by an elderly owner driving it in and out of the garage. MOT history shows MOT in 2011 and then a gap to 2024 when it has been recommissioned

[@ToughMonkey]

Your comment about circling things in the Argos catalogue hit home. I remember doing that, and doing it with the annual Scalextric brochure too. Now I’m older with at least a small amount of money I’ll go on eBay and buy the cars I wished for as a kid. I think I’d do the same if I went to that auction too. So many wagons that I’d want to come home with….not that I could afford a single one of them of course.

Oh the Mk1 Scirocco! Sorely tempted by that. You just don't see them. My Dad had a Mk1 in silver, N reg, when I was a kid. I remember travelling in the back somewhere at night with my brother, mum and dad in the front, and Labrador in the boot. He overtook another car but didn't see the blind bend approaching and we sailed straight on into a field. Hit a big fence post and the Scirocco ended up with a big V shaped crease to the front end! We all survived unscathed. Would love to own one.

[@Lander76]

I've owned a Scirocco scala, a 1.6gt and a gtx, I loved them all but my favourite is the MK1 storm which I never see these days

[@thepub245]

Growing up in Northern Ireland in the 70's, I used to see a few of these about, always loved the look of them. Someone in the town where I live, had a mk 1 storm, it was either silver or a smoky grey, colour, cant recall now but yes beautuful cars...scarcer than Tyrannosaurus droppings now.

[@gregsheppard1457]

I think the only colours were a bluey silver and the metallic brown. Prob the first you recall.

A mate of mine bought a red 205 1.9GTI Peugeot brand new in 1989. He popped round to my house and let me drive it solo to Stafford and back (provided I kept below 3000rpm). Unforgettable experience, close ratio go- cart like drive. Worthy classics.

[@MarcRudolf-t3p]

In 1990 I used to get my 280 Z serviced at Z-World Pacific Sports Cars in Redondo Beach, CA and Ron Cooke, the great guy who used to run the shop always advised me to avoid the 260 Z. Not as reliable as the 240 Z or 280 Z, something about the 2.6 not performing well on carbs. Otherwise, would have loved to have seen a Vauxhall Viva Firenza HP 'Droopsnoot' or Manta/Ascona 400 .. so my choice that white 205 Gti 😊 cheers and thanks .. always great to see you with your catalogue and pencil !

[@ted_maul]

Ooh, that Fiesta Ghia is a lovely thing. Great colour.

My fav episodes! LUV seeing Jonny's enthusiasm going every which way. Being in the USA, there MANY cars that weren't originally sold here, so they are the most interesting. Which cars are bidworthy to me? 205 GTi of course. Fiat 1100 pickup is cool Vw Transporter makes a GREAT daily.. MG V8 is very cool XJ TDVi is by far, the best value Clio is a bucket list car Escort RS Turbo needs saved! Rover Mini Cooper is a keeper 84 Audi 80 is interesting Citroen is an ICON But... My choice would be the ... Fiesta RS Turbo since we never had it available here. Thanx Jonny for taking us along!

Assuming it goes for around ten, the 996 with anti-engine shattage fix done is a steal. Very nicely built car and a whole lot cheaper to run than you might think. I'm fancying the red Mini or the red 996C2S.

The Porsche 996's are so overlooked, As a massive VW Beetle fan, I upgraded to a Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera Sport (pre 964, 996, 997, 991, 992 derivatives) I now own a manual Porsche 996 Carrera 4s. After driving the 997's, I can say apart from the interior build quality, the 996's are much better, you get the mix of a classic 911, but with a more modern useable driving experience. Johnny, go buy that black 996!

Just to recap on your reference to Munich Legends I have a mint 98 M3 EVO with 34k miles on it that I bought in London 21 years ago originally an S reg I imported it myself into Ireland and bought it of it's original owner my car is Techno Violet and has a GT 2 rear spoiler and Harmon Kardon hifi. 20 years ago on my way to Heaven Farm I literally stumbled across Munich Legends I have visited that garage a few times I wouldn't buy anything there because their pricing is nuts !
