The Rover sterling didn't sell it belongs to a guy i bought my old one of. He stays down in Oban. He's looking for close to 2k for it. The dash is like that in all of them the later one's. I did glue my own one back down but tbh it never really goes back to the way it was. 👍
Ah right, yeah worth more than £1k anyways! What one have you got? The 825 Sterling video is done, ill fire it out at the weekend, so watch this space 😬what one have you got?
@@RetroRatchet I had a 800 Si it's on my channel I put it in Morris Leslie's got £1000 2years ago just before Christmas. I made a £700 loss on won't be doing it again. Some of the work I did is on my channel. It was a press car only had 63tho on clock.
The Toyota mr2 belonged to a guy in Ayr owned it for years. I currently own a Opel rekord 380i from South Africa imported last year and as I’m aware only 1 in Uk.
i hooked up one of them,a wee bit of fettling and its as smooth as can be,all i will say is jet washing engine bays are a great idea in theory@@RetroRatchet
A neighbour of mine has a 52 plate Focus saloon, every time I see it I always mention it's condition been mint.. Weren't all Fiat 124 convertibles LHD, that looked great and cheap at 5 grand. Maserati Abarth 500 what a motor that also looked great. I was responsible for Foundry tooling approval and all dimensional reports for the Jaguar V12 aluminium block & Right & left hand heads , also jaguar straight six AJ block and head from 90 to 2000ish when Jaguar killed off both engines.
yeah... you know that FIAT is going to be hiding the motherload of rust under all those crinkley surface coatings! You could keep it in the garage and drive on fine days it'd survive.
Good little video. Had no idea there had classic car auctions up this way. Just back from Birmingham with my next toy 😊
Hello mate, what did u buy? Yeah decent wee auction tbf

Still not registered, but just sitting in my unit at moment.
My second car at 21 was an F reg Astra GTE 16V, my brother also had a MK2 GTE but 8V 2.0 . The kadette GSi presumably came from Ireland.
yeah im guessing the same, nice motors!
Won't be fake wood in the merc. In the Focus yes... but in the merc it'll be real wood with a lot of clear coat on it.
Ah , yeah fair point mate, nice original 1 owner motor that one
I was watching the auction live on RUclips there was a few jags went through the auction.

BIS is 3 door version of 126p with 704 cc water cooled engine lying under the floor, compared to original air cooled 652 cc in upright position
Ah, cool, thanks for explaining 😊👍🏻
Fiat 126 speedo goes up to 8o MPH! Need a strong tailwind and b4lls of brass to try and do 8o in one of those!
