- Look at this amazing, eclectic stash of classic cars up for auction at NCM Auctions, Lancashire UK. The story goes they were all stored in one location from 1980s, until being collected to be auctioned off. Some very rare cars such as a Merc 220 SE Royale, Daimler Coupe, Lancias......and hell, theres even a Hustler......dont Hustle with a Hustler.
Pete, just wanted to say a great Big Thank you for posting the video on all the classic cars for auction.
Have just finished watching and it was like being there in person.! But without having to do all the trudging round and fighting off the cobwebs and mice homes.!!
As a motor vehicle mechanic apprentice back in the 70's
I worked on a lot of the cars you viewed. Mainly Rootes, Humber,Commer, Singer , MG, Triumph, Hillman.
Thanks Pete.C
That was awesome, thanks for sharing. I think a fair few of them are going to get rescued, if they'd been left a few more years I think a lot of them would have been goners. Some real gems there. I wish I could save them all.
Thanks Pete a great walk down memory lane , some rare and unusual vehicle's.
Love all thoses warning dials in the sceptre gives you more confidence in a car when you can see whats going on.
This Bloke Was BANG ON Spotting Future Classics.
He Had the EYE of a Genius, There are NO crap cars there.
He Was an ARTIST in Great Cars.
He Bought all the RIGHT CARS.
except he shouldn't have left them sitting outside for years to rot, now most of them are only good for parts.
That white Toyota Celica wide body GT4 looked good, there worth a few Bob now. Saw a couple of Gilburns there as well, quite a rare car. Nice selection and a restorer's dream.
My uncle Giles owned the Gillbern factory till 1972, lots of good projects there
Bad luck, Pete - all those cars and not a Mk3 in sight! Still, looked like a really good day out - hope we get seeing the auction.
Probably the dearest SCRAP YARD IN THE COUNTRY.CLASSIC SHEDS.........
Look at all those cool old cars! There’s even my dream car in there, the cosworth!
Replica Cosworth.
🤣 what give-a-way did you spot 🤭??
After watching again looks like it isn’t the real deal 😕
It,s nice to reminisce, I owned a mark 1 Austin mini,then a mark1 escort,I spent most weekends keeping them going .the floors and sills were already rusting through at 4to 5 yrs old.Idont have rosy view of brit cars
Great video! I'd love to know more about the collection. They don't seem to be accident damaged, just collected and sadly left to rot, what a shame. Tarps aren't expensive. I'd like the cheeky little mini van, both of the XJ-C's, the silver Scimitar, the Bristol, the 1300GT,Silver Shadow, and the Super Snipe. And a few more. Cars used to have character!
Wow Pete superb video 😎
🙂🍻👍🏻
The mk 1 and the mk 2's were nice (although the crayford was hideous) . Apart from that nothing here l (personally) would go mad about . Watching this Saturday night so look forward to the auction video .
Pete I like the black MG Magnet. My dad uses to race them in the 60s
42:03 secs, that's a P5B coupe. Stainless window frames, full wood door cappings.
To have left those cars to rot when there's any number of people who'd have cherished and looked after them is nothing short of criminal. I enjoy seeing old cars kept alive and no longer have the interest, time or patience to deal with them myself. Pleased there are people out there keeping the classics alive, respect.
with all these classics being pulled out of sheds and barns, makes me wonder how long the government will keep the 40 year VED & MOT exemption and don't push it up to 50 or 60 years. I don't think the government ever envisaged the big resurgence in bread and butter classic cars being worth lots of money and fueling a bubble
i watched the auction and was surprised by what some of the "also rans" were fetching, rubber bumper mgs etc and the tatty sceptres getting twice what they would on ebay if they were pictured on a random driveway. Good publicity though , good luck to anyone whos taken one on! yes i thought the pic of the lot would be lot 2, the blue Merc coupe
Rover P6 S, Very nice....Those `6` Beemers are worth a bob or 2.
Unfortunately rust came as standard from new. Wouldn’t mind that TVR
They don't make them like they used to. That's for sure.
Some maybe already point out windows down because they been pushing them around
Gnaaaaaaarrrgggghhh. 2am and can’t sleep. I know I’ll Pete’s video of a confection of pant-wetting gems which are a stones throw away. And of course I cu rrently haven’t got two ha’pennies to rub together. TVR Tamsin, NSU Ro80s, Jag XJ12Cs, a Harry Potter Anglia and marvel of marvels a Mini Midas. As well as a. Bristol obviously . Pass me my clean pyjamas matron...
I reckon these were hand picked and taken out the back door from the scrappage scheme some years ago ! No run of the mill cars here really. In which case you would not get them registered again, their identity will be void.bid with caution!
how much did the 2 door range rover go for ?
Shame if they have been dry stored to leave out in the open with broken/open windows sun roofs etc.
What damage has been done
A Hustler!
dont you hustle!!!!!!!!!!! lol
I suspect it has working windows
I've just viewed every single one- 90% are full or near full restorations, no keys or log books, just bid with caution boys and girls!
Some Plonker will be selling a HUGE File of Old car LOG BOOKS at another AUCTION. Matching Every car Here.
Some Fat lazy NON related Cousin, Thinking £300 Quid was Great for a BOX of old car LOG BOOKS. Each one worth £500 QUID & dozens of them. one for every car here.
That box of LOG BOOKS is worth MORE than A LOTTERY WIN !!!
i am dreaming of classic cars ,its all your fault pete love the merc stag escort cos
HubNuts missed out on the 2cv.
Nah.. He's already 35.000ft above Singapore ;)
@@69Phuket Catch up he has moved on many kms and videos since then.
I liked that Singer Vogue next to the 2CV.
Peter i hope you can pick up a good bargain at auction of what you going for. Is it going to be a ford?
It is not a car collection, but a scrapyard.. This was a car hoarder.
Hope that's not a mobile crusher I hear in the background !!
Did you bid on any of them (Triumph Stag, Mercedes, P6...) and if so did you win any? ;-)
i was tempted but just watched...........hmmmm
If you had what vehicle would you have bidden on (Cortina Mk III)?
Rover p5b coupe
3.0 Litre or 3.5 Litre?
Ok, to be honest I had to google it. ;-)
I'll have to look at the video again and see if I can spot it?
rs looks nice
A P5 or maybe an SD1 would suit you Sir!
get to the chopper. P5 for me please.
..... “BMW 635, moving smooth at 90 feeling good to be alive” as Chris De Burgh sang..... but not in that condition... sad.
Rust in peace. Sad.
Why are left in the open?? Why?
shame they didn't reveal the prices they went for
First hello Mr P....👋
big hello has dac !!!!!!! from Pete, thanks for all your support on the channel!!!!!! i dont have facebook so i cant share any vids but thanks!!! share if you can !! Pete
Was there a white Lancia HPE or Beta Coupe I saw a glimpse of, and what was that silver car on the right hand side of the Mk1&2 cortinas?
You should be wearing a mask, sitting in those vehicles with that mould is dangerous. Most of these cars were killed by rust before storage and now apart from a couple of rare ones will only be good for scrap, also no history, logbooks or keys. These cars may have been scrapped already years ago and you cant put a scrapped car back on the road and you probably wont find out until you try to register it. I doubt whether there are any good parts left on them for spares.
this will prob turn out to be true Steve as much as many dont wanna hear it...this said with the right passion and determination , all can be saved
@@PeteCswampy The Merc is definitely worth saving providing its not registered as scrap, also the condition looks a lot better than most of them. The rest will cost more than they are worth to restore. The escort Cosworth could be £40k plus when restored, but just getting parts for restoration is going to be hard and expensive.
The Mercedes 220SE, how glamorous. It's a manual! What an amazing collection with so many gems. Did I see 2 NSU Ro80s and a very pretty Peugeot cabrio? I think I want all of them....... Cheers.
rs looks nice
Ha, good job Hubnut is out of the country or he'd be after that 2cv!
That Toyota Celica might have just been up his street!!!
i was thinking the exact samething lol
HUBNUT, dont talk to us about HUBNUT.
2cvs and shite rovers or a princess a rare worth 80-100 k restored merc would pass him up by blind faith too 1 or 2 makes lol
Fabulous Pete, Amazing to see but heartbreaking at the same time I hope they all find new homes and people to love them again ! I’d personally love that mk2 Crawford 👌👍
Corsairs are fantastic - and there's not that many of them around. I hope many of these great old cars get saved. It baffles me why someone would collect all these, only to leave them outside to rot.
First.......this find is absolutely amazing, those cars are pretty solid. Would love to be there to see them in the flesh.
Rose tinted specs on there Pete, most of the stuff there is completely beyond saving, and many will be bought as ringing kits by undesireable types, That AustinMorris J series Paralanian camper is a god case in point. Auctions like this sadly feed the seedy side of the classic world, and to be brutally frank, a good 60% of that lot really need to be taken to an authorised fraggers and what parts are salvagable sold on, then the remains along with the VIN tags destroyed.
Strange there's no uniformity to this collection seems to be a variety of all types and makes the common denominator seems to be music listeners lol
The Lancia specialist sticker in the rear windscreen of the orange lancia is a local garage to me, Batley West Yorkshire
it is amazing how people in the comments all get soppy about these getting left to rot ...by rights these shouldn't exist at all .. most of the cars have long gone from the roads..so even a rusty example of some of the cars is a bonus, in few years your granchildren will be sobbing over the rusty remains of a Rover 200 for instance... that someone left on their back garden in 2016 due to HG failure and blaming us for not saving that car " and letting it rot" ... ... a car which is fucked and worthless now, probably just like THOSE cars when they were laid up . Do you all seriously think that a guy in 1973 who's Corsair is knackered is gonna think twice about dumping it and getting another one when there where so many on the road... I doubt what people think in 2019 was on his mind.
I think the mk2 Cortina 2-door might actually have been a Lotus, it had the holes and roundel marks on the rear wings where the Lotus badges would have been...
I was offered a Corsair years ago Pete. Quite a stunning car in my opinion.
I hope these all go to good homes.
Whoever Bought all these cars KNEW EXACTLY WHAT they were COLLECTING. A True Genius with Foresight to today 2020. Everything is Now Big Money & Very Desirable .
He was 10 to 40 Years before his time. / Ahead of time.
A TRUE Classic GENIUS. £500 Grands worth as they stand. for parts or restoration.
I love the Bristol, what a restoration project that would be
They are all the same, just vehicles with a common purpose, getting people and luggage from A to B. If we had had one basic robust design with plentiful spares our transport system would have been far less expensive and scrap yards non-existent. What a waste!
25 mins in , BINGO he Runs out of Scrap & finds a Triumph 2500 = Brilliant Car !! A Motoring LEGEND !! Since then, All cars were designed around the Triumph 2000 /2500. The Rover 820 /827 was a near design copy 25 yrs on. BMW Copied Triumph Style & design for many years.
Triumph Dolomite / BMW e30 Park them side by side . & LOOK CLOSELY !!
Twin Headlight Dolomite in your rear view Mirror or BMW e30 ? The car in front moves over to a left hand lane. I had Both at the same time, so I KNOW.
They think they have a 325i e30 Filling their mirrors .
got to agree on the 2500, it just looks right, i bet its very smooth with that engine, similar dash to dolomite?
The right members who smash the glass on these cars needs a good seeing too.
Escort cosworth was worth doing some with.there coming up on price all the time
Keep up the great work man
Catalogue says its a replica
It's a rep
Anyone who knows their fords knows that was a RS 2000 at best or a xr3i.
Some crap there tbh.
Wow, thanks for the walk along Pete. This was a really exciting piece of car video history. I'd be like a kid in a candy shop. It was sad that the cars have had so much damp damagae but they are certainly very restorable by your standards. We've seen so much worse look better than factory through your skills and talants.
Absolutely heartbreaking, so many lovely motors there. Hope they all find homes.
17:33 - I have one of these. The GT was a good car, and a fun car to drive too. They are quite desirable now, and fetch good prices for a fully restored one. :)
all the car's went for stupid money. I couldn't believe it. Bidding fever I guess.you can bet many people are thinking now wtf have I just bought haha. Better bargains on eBay
Sitting in the back of that Corsair brought some memories back from when I was about 4! My Dad had one in that really pale blue almost white colour. 1700 (maybe a 2Ltr) auto if I'm not mistaken with a column gear shift. I used to stand in the back behind the front bench seat when we travelled back from Lancashire to visit my Grandparents and that was the view I had.
That P5 looks like a coupe' with the slightly lower than standard roof. The Queen Mothers' favourite car apparently.
Coincidentally my Dad also had a very pale blue Corsair in the 70s
A lot of lovely cars from my childhood. A very clean looking Sunbeam Rapier in faded purple caught my eye. My dad had one in the seventees. Scrapyard Heaven. Very enjoyable.
Very cool!
Just wow! The Cosworth is listed as a replica based on RS2000 model so not all as it seems. Some amazing cars there. Can't get my head around the mentally of people that hoard cars just to leave them to rot.
Listen to that door shutting on the Humber estate at the end. Quality, even after so much neglect. Great video, hope some can be saved. Thanks for filming
Martin yes, i thought same, wow listen to that close,,,, hell yea!!!! nice !!!!!
Sounds like it's not far from the Martin Mere bird place. Loved the look of the Humber Sceptres.
The old MG might have an original valve radio? (though i can't see how they'd cope with bumps)
The red Lancia was obviously cherished. The 1300GT is good to go. An RO80? !! (RARE)
What a stash..Not 'arf! I doubt we'll ever see such a collection ever again. Thank you for the tour.
not far from martin mere, just 10 mins
Lovely Corsair 2000E, Austin 1300GT, and MG Magnette. I'm not sure that wasn't a Lotus Cortina Mk2.? It looked like it had the shape of the round Lotus badge on the rear quarter? Mouthwatering collection. Would like to see a Pete C resto of the Corsair though.
That was a wonderful tour, I have a thing for those Humber Super Snipes. Amazing dashboard dials and big thick seats. The estate version looks big even compared to today. The Rover P4 is another attractive car but I have never ridden in one but wished I had done.
Stop looking with rose tinted glasses people. Most of them are so far gone it would be cheaper to go out and buy a good running example.
Yeah, a shocking way to store all those classics. Out in all weather for years. :(
@@Scuba72Chris this is what happens. if the collecter only bought what he could fit in a garage, most of these would have been crushed years ago. he did his part by hoarding them untill now. 15- 20 years ago noone would have wanted any of these.
Mike I rather like the rose tinted glasses...sometimes. But each to their own!!!!
Just wow Pete!
Would love that Bristol, but I couldn’t afford to run it. Has a 5 litre Chrysler V8, and aluminium body.
If I were bidding, I’d go for the 2cv. Very simple to rebuild, no complicated electrics.....
Au Contraire, the series 3 Bristol 411 (which this car is) was fitted with a Chrysler 6.2L V8.
Thanks for the walk around Pete. I started with mark 3's after my first car a lowly NSU Prinz 4L and I currently have a Rover p5b so we are on parallel car paths there. I was watching the video willing you to check out the Rover - only other one I'd love to have seen was that NSU RO80 sat right there and you walked past! - wonder if the old rotary is still in it, if it has compression or if it got chucked out for the awful Ford V4 boat anchor so many people seemed to put in! - keep up the awesome content, I bet these cars all go for silly dough now!!
lol boat anchor V4 made me laugh!!!!!! nice one!!!
What an excellent collection of Classic Car's , wish i had been there i would have bought at least two , maybe more , had i known about the sale/s . Ford Corsair 2000 E my kind of car . And the Rover P5 / P6s.
Wow didn't see that escort cossy coming some lovely metal there hope they all get saved I'd take the crayford cortina 😲😍👀👍👌
Fan bloody tastic! Used to ha be a Corsair and was my first car.
CORSAIR MUST BE SAVED
So much nostalgia there. Plenty of cars there that I have memories of driving or being driven in and some rare ones that I haven't even seen before.
This makes me drool i want to restore them all oh to win the lottery
Oh brilliant stuff, thank you. Must compliment you on the way you set up and pan the shots.
The Big money is in the Range Rovers & BMW's.
pete that fulvia isnt rare theres about six of the 2s that were produced before it for sale on one website alone.Without sounding rude but a lancia was more of a specialists motor and were not bought by todays mondeo man that was yesterdays sierra and cortina man.They were more rare on our roads than henrys dustbins by a ratio of 10 to 1 most likely but the class of owner and new price was far greater.Sadly these fetch far less than a cortina mk 3(15-18k) as the people that bought them are less likely to be a pratically minded person with engineering skills to restore and hence the love for them is less.Its a sad indictment of society that mass produced rubbish from a certain period has now taken over from what was a more styled refined car of its era when it comes to a restored classic.Hence why i can see you loving the fords but missing some more of the rarer cars amongst this collection.I love your videos as i do like certain fords just nothing past about 1980 yet the 1991 coworth escort which by fords terms is a rare car was clearly loved by you.If you are going to produce a video like this a less of a bias towards what you know day in and day out and research where the money is amongst the rarer ones and the only one you really singled out of those was the merc 220 by pure chance possibly.Thanks for sharing just wish you hadnt of missed the money.
Great video, I restore classic Triumph TR 2 3 4 5 6 in France, most weren't viable, the Cosworth, and the solid 220 Merc, the 1300 GT in Topaz, "best colour" the Jag Coupé I would have jumped at.. Were the Fords REAL Lotus or just striped up ??
Ford, Rootes , BMC and not a single Vauxhall. Great video as always.
You might have to change down to a Mark 2, is that convertible rare or were they quite common in their day??????
Never made that bodystyle in Australia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crayford_Engineering made into convertibles by a guy in kent
Think the camper is based on a BMC JU 250 van chassis. Would be great for visiting classic car shows. Would have liked to see more on the little orange sports car, Not sure what it is. Enjoyed your walkaround....
Cheers Pete. 👍👏🏻
Go on, you know that XJC would make for great viewing and be a wonderful drive when finished.
That's what I thought.
A 2 DOOR RANGE ROVER !! OMG !!! worth a Fortune now . Restored Worth the same as a NEW one. & More UNLIMITED VALUE !!
Humber Sceptre is worth JACK SHIT. even MINT.
The Range Rover is the STAR of the show. FORGET the KNACKERD CORTINAS ! FOOL !!
Wow! for me the Opel Monza, Peugeot cabriolet and the Scimitar. May need a new bottle of T-Cut though...
That's insane! Poor old Hubnut leaves the country for 5 minutes...
lol
hmmm well its a ford and its got a c in the name hmm pete c next project? a 50's corsiar? hmm?
mk2 cortina 1600 e that's a rare beasty! looks to be in good shape hell even if it goes for parts, most of those had there engines nicked from the scrapyard in the 80's and 90's, well its a mk2 cortina but its a cortina,
oh my dad old 406 97' puegoet had one of those removable radio cassettes meny a good time spent listening to tapes only down side was it trashed my thin lizzy live n dangous tape boo got confused and had auto turn over as in would play the other side when it ended, still good also russain ciggy's nice country town ciggys "lights on up" hmm that fine old age,
oh dear a lancia hmm must be one of those "returned" ones as in rusted away as it was sold looks rusty like a true lancia should, oh another lancia oh with the added wooden bits of wood to stop it folding from the rust or to add extra protection from the elements? either way rust bucket but dam fine machines,
lovely old mg mageette lovely 50's cars very rare as they didn't live long after the mgb sports cars came out,
whoever had these liked his 80's bmw's as there are a lot there, those will sell quickly, even rusty ppl will restore them as there quite rare now, as they were either trashed by the yuppies or loads of money ppl or were just thrown away when the new bmw came out,
here we go mk2 and mk1 lotas cortina if it still has the engine yse that'll go but if its just the shell then sadly no, EVEN RARER! mk2 cortina lotas! if it still has the engine looks to of been stripped out though,
that'll go for silly money mk4 escort cosworth, as ppl go mad for those now if its in good shape just depends on if it was looked after by someone that knew how to use it or had money, or if it was brought for our son and he drove it to the max red lined it and its knackered,
nice merc pete but you'd have to sell one of your babies (cortina's that is) just to buy cetain parts that's why there are so meny merc on the market there either very thrusty beasts or if a part fails/going its can be very costly,
now there's an oddity the 6 wheeled range rover thoughgt they were only done in red and were used by the fire service? macthbox made one, as i have it,
lovely old volvo amzone, wonder if the volvo graveyard person will take that if no one wants it? i know my dad goes past it each night comming home,
oh it was a lancia not a bmw 2002 my bad welp just show how rotten it is!
lovely cromer or bedford camper hope that goes to a good hme seen to meny of those or same era end up on the banger tracks,
looks to be quite a few were stored at the back and some were at the front, just a shame looks to me as if vandals got in and they started but were caught or ppl told them off or distrubed them and they checked inside only to find this lot might be the owner wasn't living an more or had been put into a home so this was his collection shame but lovely to see,
hmm might be an dealer ship? as most of the cars there seem to be 90's esk mot or taxed plus there was a 90's slk in white so might be it shut up shop in the 00's? hard to tell but still another great day out with pete c
So how did the actual auction go please, have you a video on it?
Reg, yes ive filmed a brief few cars from the auction just scroll thru my latest vids theres deffo one there Reg, all the best, Pete
That's a real treasure trove of vehicles and such a mix. You know you want the corsair
i do, rumours are they bidding to BREAK IT !!!!!
@@PeteCswampy No way it looks to good to break someone needs to save it there is not many left. There is a corsair estate not far from me and I really feel like they need to be appreciated abit more it's the forgotten ford in many ways
saw some of these on my mums facebook page, most will be saved but most will go to the banger track or be parted out as there were a few that looked beyound saving the bmw 2002 with the snapped firewall or just snaped that is parts, others looked okay,
i think the other question is why were you there pete? a cortina in there that your eagle eye spotted?
Very interesting to see all these cars together , car restorers heaven 👍🙂
the Ford Escort Cosworth is probably the most expensive car there
ronald burns last on road 2008...20k miles !
Great video pete well worth the trip to view them👍😊
All stolen from Manchester reddish Vauxhall trading estate 2018 windows smashed smack heads
can I ask if any sold with v5c log books and who clean all the pigeons mess up 😂
Wow some great finds a Cortina convertible had no idea they even built one? nice looking BMW 635CSI there too.
