I liked Astra GTE's that much back in the 80's I might have borrowed a few without mentioning 2 the Owners, thankfully I was rehabilitated back into society and can admire them now without considering a police camera action YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE COPPER Chase. Massive thanks again for the tour around fella, nice one! Cheers!
Great variety of different vehicles shown Mitch, that GT6 was very nice, but i prefer the MK1 GT6. Talk about a blast from the past with that Citroen GSX, my father had a GS club in white. Thanks again for the video 👍
GXS was a greatly advanced car 1L or 1.2L close ratio gearbox and same suspension hydrogen as the DS My dad had two 30odd years ago, my sister drove it 55 miles with the hand brake still on! It still made it home from Skegness 😂
Great video again Mitch, Congratulations on the channel sponsor too real nice to see your hard work recognised you presented that section really well 👍
Thanks for a good well made video Mitch. Unlike Manor Car Classics and Anglia Car Auctions I always seem to miss this auction when Live so cheers to you for bringing it to me.
Fantastic video and it was a pleasure seeing you both there. Really nice to chat to you. Glad you like the E30 too 😊 Hope to see you in December ! Keep up the great work and content.
you're such a lucky boy, your other half seems to like classics, my wife and twin daughters think I'm nuts for liking them. But as I've said before, I've had my old Mk1 Mexico longer than I've known her - - - - Fords are my thing, but I have to admit I'd maybe have had a bid or 2 on the yellowish Citroen just to annoy her
Bit of (Useless!) info on the Citroën for you. The GS was a breakthrough car in 1970 ....look at that profile...even now ...then look at a Cortina mk2 ....so advanced for its day ..still really Looks fresh today , just a wonderful looking car.

Hey Mitch, the car for me is that red Astra GTE mk2 16v. I had a G reg white 16v back in 1994, only had it a year & was stolen, never recovered. Back then they were like 4k 😊
That mkll GTE. As blue oval man I can honestly say that’s a car I wish I’d of had in the day..... although thinking about it, my biggest mistakes were getting rid of my Saxo VTS, AXGT and my phase 1, 106 rallye.🤔🙄🤦🏻♂️
Another great video Mitch, always enjoy your work. Its the first time I've seen a Mark 2 Escort converted from 4 to 2 door, I don't really like it, the thicker B-pillar makes it look a bit odd. I'm not surprised it didn't fetch a high price.
Great video as always Mitch and Lauren. How are you getting on with your T4 VW, the weather up here in the Highlands has taken a turn for the worse lots of wind and rain down at sea level and snow up at the ski resorts so if you’re still planning on coming up Highlands and Islands weather on Facebook has a very accurate forecast for us 👍🏻🏴
Class act in front of camera 👍2nd December will be my first one for me, not too far away. Look forward to seeing you up there, are they OK with anyone filming?
Ooh that Mk2 Escort was cheap 😱. I appreciate it wasn’t finished but it looked decent restoration. I would’ve had to bid 😬 Wow 😮, the ‘71 beetle for only £5k! Looked in fantastic condition. My pick of the lot.
Haha.. You again looked at nearly everything I did!! Didn't get to see the Sierra or SRi as they were late entries. A few I'd seen last time. If I remember right the Citroën had a flat 4 over head cam motor, quite an advanced car in their day! 👍
Another great auction video. Thank you so much. Its very rare that we get to see sold prices and reserves etc on other channels. Please keep these going!,👍☺️🤘🫶
Try getting a sierra dash .not sapphire a sapphire one has no speaker in centre you won't get one for under a grand.and the mg was ruined by painting it in that colour that why it didn't sell why would someone do that lol
Now you’re getting some views you should ask if you can do a preview a few days before so I can actually bid on something I like! Advertising for them. You have an uninterrupted sweep.
I’d love to but unfortunately I live 4 hours away from this auction and still work a day job! You can always check out their website to see upcoming lots 👍🏻

Thank you guys, really liked the E30 that was a great buy! See you in December 😁
Those 1.8sri were police fast response cars in the 80s very fast very reliable and long serving. Truly superb engine. Very revvy

I’m lucky she supports everything I do! WOW I can only dream to own a Mk1 Mexico!

That’s a gutting story! Hope had had fun in it before the car was nicked!
Great content once again!
Keep up the good work mate.
Thanks 🏴
Thank you mate! Glad you enjoyed 😁
Great video! I loved that E30 touring as well, especially in such great condition.
Ah cool. We were the winning bidders. Drove it home the same day. Its a beauty
@@spottedmotors Congratulations! I wouldn't be lying if I said I'm a little jealous
@JoeDunlop06 thanks alot! 😊 we are super happy with it
The E30 was a lovely example!
Thanks Mitch another great visit.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video! I agree there were parts of that escort conversion that weren’t to my taste either!
An excellent short thank you
Nice to see you presenting more mate 👍
Glad you liked the presenting style in some sections!
That escort got a milage warning in 2007 it had 94,653 in 2008 it had 98,156 then in 2009 1t had 1,388 some one been playing with it
They have a 5 digit speedo. That means 99,999 miles then back to 0
Great video as always Mitch and Lauren. How are you getting on with your T4 VW, the weather up here in the Highlands has taken a turn for the worse lots of wind and rain down at sea level and snow up at the ski resorts so if you’re still planning on coming up Highlands and Islands weather on Facebook has a very accurate forecast for us 👍🏻🏴
Thank you! We have just released a update video on the T4 😁 We haven’t yet decided when to come up to Scotland but hope to do it sometime soon!
Another great video Mitch. Thanks mate! 😊
Glad you enjoyed! 😎
Love the Astra GTE 16v , great video

It was a lovely example! 👍🏻
Great Video again. Keep em coming. 👏👍
Class act in front of camera 👍2nd December will be my first one for me, not too far away. Look forward to seeing you up there, are they OK with anyone filming?
Thank you pal! I would always ask the owners for permission first 👍🏻
Ooh that Mk2 Escort was cheap 😱. I appreciate it wasn’t finished but it looked decent restoration. I would’ve had to bid 😬
Wow 😮, the ‘71 beetle for only £5k! Looked in fantastic condition. My pick of the lot.
There was some good deals there! 👀
Some of the prices are a bit low 😢

Haha what’s the chances of that! There were a lot of lovely cars on offer 👍🏻
@@Mk2Mitch an eye for a proper vehicle is what it is 👀😉🤣 always a good selection there mate 👍
Good vids these love the editing none of this waiting till the end to find out . 👌👌👌👍
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoy these videos and the format 😁
The Citroen was a sreal😊
Hi Mitch, love watching your stuff. Hi from Australia.
Glad you like watching the videos mate, thank you for watching!
Next you'll be adding music to key words like homes under the hammer. Proper presenter. Great video buddy
Haha, one day 🤣
I couldn’t go to one of those auctions, I’d buy too many cars, prices were ridiculous, lovely old cars 😊.
hi mitch mk2 fiesta on copart down your way front damage.ideal for spares or repairs.
You got a link mate?
@@Mk2Mitch hi gone now mate.worth to keep checking copart site as they do come up
Had exactly the same Sri . I hammered mine those were the days
Back when you weren’t worried about breaking them! 😆
Another great auction video. Thank you so much. Its very rare that we get to see sold prices and reserves etc on other channels. Please keep these going!,👍☺️🤘🫶
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy these auction videos and I will keep them coming 😁
Did the Saab convertible sell? …next to the sierra r4i.
I'm not too sure, if you google WB&Sons auction and click on results you should be able to find if it sold 👍🏻
your doing an amazing job love it love it love it
The 205 GTi was a steal, great video again
I did like that GTI!
HI GREAT VIDEO did you see how much the red classic mini went for im after one thx
Thank you! Unfortunately I didn’t but if you visit WB & Sons website you should be able to find what it sold for in the results section 👍🏻
Great vid as always 👍👍👍
Thank you! 👍🏻
Try getting a sierra dash .not sapphire a sapphire one has no speaker in centre you won't get one for under a grand.and the mg was ruined by painting it in that colour that why it didn't sell why would someone do that lol
I didn’t know them dashboards were so rare, very interesting!
Nice one mitch keep on with the videos and an update of your van conversion crack on
Glad you liked the video, I’ve recently uploaded a update on the van conversion 😁
you are getting good at this young man...
what's the holdup on the escort [you are allowed to say skint by the way...]
Not slimy mate just removing the underseal which is proving to be a very time consuming job!
Any idea what the 911 made buddy - thanks
I’m not too sure, if you visit WB & Sons website and search results you should find the price it made!
Thank you.Great video
Thank you 👍🏻
My picks were the SRi auto and the Transit, they were my kind of thing. We all saw what Lauren's pick was.....👃.......🤣
She assures me that she was adjusting her nose ring 🤣👍🏻
@@Mk2Mitch Yeah yeah Lauren I'm sure you were! 🤣
They wanted to much for that caviler diffeent if it had 25k miles on it maybe 6k tops
I do like a Cav SR/SRI
gte was a gem
Wasn’t it just! 😍
Good going mate, the only way is up👌👌👌
Thank you mate! 😎
Nice vid mate 👍😎
Glad you enjoyed! 👍🏻
Cracking contact you should get a job at the auction house doing reviews before the auction start
