- Welcome back all,
In this video we head up to Cheshire to visit Manor Park classics April auction. This is an auction I've had on the list for a while now but not managed to get up to attend, until now. At first I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of space they had available at this venue, with 2 large halls and outside space available it made for great viewing.
There were plenty of Fords as you'll see in the video, along with some minis and vauxhalls too. Admittedly I didn't record too many 'different' classics at this auction because there were just so many vehicles that ticked my personal taste. The car of the auction for me was the Mk1 Ford Fiesta Supersport which I really enjoyed walking around and watching go under the hammer!
The auction itself was free entry. Food van was on site all day too. The bike auction starts at 11am with the classic cars starting at 1pm. This was their biggest sale to date and we sat through the whole event which did seem to drag slightly but I believe this was only due to the fact we sat through all of the bike auctions too! The auction is very well documented on their own social media, with the auction being live streamed onto RUclips.
We will be returning to this auction in the near future!

Rouse sport Sapphire was by Andy Rouse engineering (famous BTCC driver) as a special available via Ford on a ‘new’ saph. More power, the interior & exterior mods
Thank you for filling me with knowledge 😎
Another great video Mitch. I go backwards and forwards to Spain alot and it is amazing how many old fords I see over there in immaculate condition. Just goes to show how the salt kills them in this country !!
That’s very interesting, I bet the Old Ford’s have had a easy life out there in the hot climate 😎

Your welcome, thank you for watching 😎
Love the videos you do great information given on the vehicles especially liked the mk2 transit big thumbs up
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏻
Only come across your channel some weeks back and I have to say I’m loving these auction videos
I’m glad your enjoying the videos 😁
Great video, love your easy, friendly delivery and content. Now following.
Thank you for following, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 👍🏻
Nice auction I'll give it a look when I'm back in the UK ✌️😊👌
Great video, there was a 1.3 CVH, and I think a 1.1 at one point, but I dont remember ever seeing one back in the day. Great commentary and info in the cars. Best wishes .
Thank you for informing me! 😎
Just found your great channel and love it. Great vids and presentation. Well done 👍👍
Glad you like the channel pal! 😎
Brilliant video mate love the auction videos 👌🏼
Glad you enjoy the videos pal 👍🏻
I'm a new watcher of your channel l love the way you do your videos with the auction straight after looking at the car so you don't forget later on in the video about the car 👌👍
I’m glad you like the format of these videos, plenty more to come 😁
Love the vids mate takes me back to my boy racer days. 😂
Look forward to next one cheers
Thank you for watching! 😎
I like watching your vids Mitch- Thanks. I like trying to guess the final hammer price, and even though I’ve out of the game for a long while I’m still getting it spot on most of the time! 😉
Haha that’s a brilliant little game to play whilst watching the video 👍🏻
Bumped into you at this auction mate! Good to see the channel flying. I really wanted that rouse sport but was a tad out my budget. Keep up the good work mate
Yes I remember! It did go for a bit 👀
Awesome video bruva nice 1m8👍👍
4:26 : That is a thing of beauty that is!!
Cool video, Mitch! Some really tidy motors there. The fire Transits (mk1 & 2) are on airport duties only, hence the low miles! Cheers. Leigh.
I see! That would make sense the fire transits being based at airports 👌🏻
My just love you Channel and if I ever go to a classic car auction I'm.going to have to ask you to come with me. You would make the experience so much fun and informative. Thanks very much man. 👍👍❤
Haha it’s a great day up at the auctions! Thank you for watching and the support 😎
great channel Mitch,thank you
Your welcome pal 👍🏻
Another good post fella, thanks to you and your good lady for sharing again even love your intro music 😂, i had a w reg xr3 and when I bought it was 2 years old and honestly they were crap 😂😂, the escort turbo were good but when I had my xr3 my mate had a Renault 5 turbo 1400 and he left me for dead in a race I may have well of been on a push bike, keep enjoying your car's and shows cheers
Not a waste of time to put off nostalgic view of ford cars when they don't live up to expectations over the cliff they should go .
Glad your enjoying the videos pal! 😎
This my favourite auction house. My favourite auctioneer by a long way!
another great vid Mitch
Thank you pal! 😎
rouse as in house, ex BTCC driver andy rouse started modifying cossies for ford themselves
mk3s had 1.1 ohv, [fiesta lump] 1.3cvh, 1.6cvh, + the very rare 1.1cvh [with metro points, no electronic ignition]. the 1.4 was a later "economy" version with different pistons + head
the mk4 dash is plastic, so doesn't crack, mk3 is hardboard
tranny will have been used at airfield, so only came out to practice fire-fighting
rangerover is same as mine, [rotbox] bought mine in 2002, £200 inc 1/2 tank of petrol...
Brilliant, thank you for the information!
Love that chevete
Love your Fiesta. Such a cool car
Thank you! 😁
Nice video Mitch. Manor Park have their own RUclips channel and produce preview videos ahead of their auctions.
They're a good watch and may explain why some cars were sold before the auction started - viewers rang them up and made an offer.
Thank you pal, I’ve seen their channel. I was just puzzled as to why they would accept offers, surely the whole point of a auction is to see what they fetch in the moment 🤷🏻♂️
Nice to see the prices are starting to drop.
Definitely had a 1.3 CVH. I owned one for many years in the same “sunburst red” colour. Also had a gold Chevette albeit the hatchback version. You could slide the back in the wet very easily, despite the lack of power !
Thank you for the info! Very cool, I’d like to drive a Chevette one day 😎
Mitch I'm loving your videos, it's great to see these smashing old cars. I especially like the way you only include the hammer going down and the important final price rather than other videos make us suffer the whole bidding section. From memory I think CVH was a 1.3 as my 1985 Escort had a 1.3 I'm fairly confident. Think that car had been in the sea as it rotted badly by five years old. My feet used to get wet!
I’m glad you like the format of these videos mate, thank you for the info 👍🏻
Great video 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed 😁
Quality video buddy 👍
Thank you mate!
A hatchback chevette is my dream car that one was real nice.
That one was lovely mate 👌🏻
Ahh, come on, mitch!! 😅 You're even closer to where I live now. I'm in Warrington next door to runcorn
You need to come down to this one mate! 😎
Great video thanks. Have you ever come across a white Nova GTE,1989,1990. I owned one back then. Think you are super rare now.
I can’t say I have, but if I do I will record it for you 👍🏻
@@Mk2Mitch Fantastic much appreciated.
The Rouse Sapphire never appealed to me.They look like they have been to Halfords for the body kit.Much prefer non Rouse (I have a moonstone 4 x4 so biased 😂 )Loved the video and what I like unlike some I have watched is you do not profess to know everything about the cars ..Thst is really refreshing..keep up the good work
I’d never seen one before! Thank you, I appreciate the positive comment and always willing to learn about vehicles I have limited knowledge on 😎
New to the channel and enjoying the videos keep doing what your doing.
Glad your enjoying the videos pal, plenty more to come! 😁
My dad use to work for Ford and one of the vehicles he worked on was the P100, one thing he had to do was prove it could do 100mph carrying 1 Ton in the bed, they did it on the test track that Dunton he said it was the scariest thing he ever did😂 they also built a 4x4 one but it wasn't green lighted by the board so somewhere on the Dagenham site there's a 1 off 4x4 P100 rotting away.
There was 14 ,1.6 & 1.8 CVH engines.
I had a 1.8GL Sierra Sapphire in the 90's. To be honest the 1.8CVH was known to not last. Mine died at around 80-90K miles.
The problem was ford opted to use the 1.6 CVH block and machined it into a 1.8L. They also had another 1.8L OHC engine on previous models that was much more reliable.
for Performance I would say the CVH was a little better.
There were more than that cvh
The yanks had 2.0 and the brits had 1.3 ,if your on about Sierra only then it’s wrong saying 1.4 cvh Sierra as there wasn’t any
I was buying selling Fords through the 90’s so you could say I know my 🧅
one of my neighburs used to have deep purple Sapphie cosworth
Yes definitely made a 1.3 cvh engine
I used to buy and sell them 1 million percent ford did
Thank you for confirming 👍🏻
The red transit was probably based at an airport hence low miles.
HI. Yes there was a 1.3 CVH engine, aswell as the 1.4 & 1.6, which eventually was turbo charged. S1 & S2 Escort turbos. The (Andy) ROUSE sport sierras are extremely rare, 304-R would designate the 4WD and the 302-R is the RWD cars iirc. I believe they were modded as well, not huge power, approx 270ish bhp, which was similar to most stage 1 chips. Andy Rouse BTCC RS500 campaigner back in the Grp A cossie days. 1989 & 1990 from memory. Eventually went on to build a very competitive Mondeo BTCC car, driven by himself and Paul Radisich.
You know it's special when the Badge says Sierra.
Every other that I've seen says Sapphire 4x4 Boot and Front Wing 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
That’s brilliant, thank you so much for the information 😎
WOW....... My bank card would have been working overtime that day, the Mk3 Escort (red) and I can't believe I'm going to admit it, the gold Chevette would have been on a trailer and heading up here (north of the border).......... F**king H*ll..... me wanting a Vauxhall!!!! They looked pretty dam good
My mum had a Mk3 Escort with a 1.3 CVH so yeah they did a 1.3 CVH, even a 1.8 one according to my dad 😉
1.8 cvh fitted to sierras
Thank you for confirming 😁
The arches on the fire engine are original. There's one driving around this area. That one surely has a higher mileage as the current owner is using it as a daily driver.
Could well be clocked, others have suggested it may have came from a airport and not used often 👍🏻
Fire transit mileage probably correct but may have a lot of hours idle time
I Once had to Filler & Paint an XR3i Roof BEFRE it's 1st MOT. at 3 yrs old.
It Bubbled by the rear Hatchback hinges.
the factory spray gun missed the inside of the hinge pocket on them all...
wow that must’ve been some sort of record 🤣
I remember my first car got it in 2003 was a red ford orion mk1 1.6 ghia G reg. paid £350 for it not a spot of rust on it had the rs body kit xr3i leather seat in gray with ford pepper pot wheels was mint tbf.
Very nice, I bet that was such a cool first car 😎
The Cossie is an Andy Rouse (like mouse) there were suppose to be 100 made but only 78 were made, it said in 2020 only 16 are left
Thank you for the information 😎
That MK2 Transit has spent its life working in an airport, hence the low mileage 😮
That would make sense! 👍🏻
The fire engine transit was probably used at an airport hence the low mileage mate
That’s a good suggestion! 👍🏻
Yep had a mk3 1983 1.3 L escort in sunburst red, bought it in around 1991 for £925.
Good power, but whiney cvh engine and a massive oil leak
Replaced the crankshaft oil seal only to find out it was the camshaft oil seal that was leaking haha.
Sold it for a £1,000 a short while later and glad to get rid .
Went back to the 1256cc chevette that was much better, with a smoother quieter engine.
Thank you for the information! I’m assuming there’s not many 1.3 cvh engines left! 😬
I had a mk 3 escort. About 12 years ago. 35k on the clock. 1 owner before me. Got nicked and burnt out. Even the recovery guys were upset. They didn't charge me. The hurt it causes for 20 minutes of fun. Devastating.
That’s gutting mate :(
Interesting to see alot of Fords in this and your last few videos , either aren't making their estimates or only just making the bottom line of the estimate.
I think the estimates were quite high in this video 👍🏻
Quite proud of myself there I nailed every value before you revealed them. Still got it lol
Nice work! 😎
I had MK3 XR3i in sunburst red. Wish I could have it now. DBA 123Y
FGF637X, sunburst red, sold for a mortgage, scrapped '96
bloody house, bloody wife bloody kids...
[yours made it to '99]
nice rouse sierra cosworth, they were made by andy rouse (the touring cart driver)
Thank you for the info! 😁
Rouse Sport Chap
Converted @Coventry Wkshops
302r & 304r cars.
Changes consisting of:
Smaller turbo + Rouse map
Tyres
Interior
Exterior
Plaque build number
Retained warranty from Ford back in the day & with Ltd numbers left they now has become an extremely rare Cosworth.
Andy himself might be interested as I did read some time ago he may consider getting one, tbh what a shame he could not of twisted FMC arm back in the day for him to have a car on the house so to speak.
Also like all the MSport business owners from the 80’s/90’s why he doesn’t have a car collection baffles me, especially with his development input with the Sierra.
Should have a beautiful car storage off main house with his championship cars imo & at least 1 of his Rs500 cars.
Rare car & looks incredible, great era as back then all manufacturers where providing performance cars to the market & these cars had MSport pedigree so the connection to the consumer was perfect.
Brilliant, thank you for the information! 😁
Rouse sport as in Andy rouse touring car driver they 302r rear wheel drive and 304r 4 wheel. Drive smaller tubo for more torque. Extra wings on recaros.bigget rear spoiler.different side skirts
And rs500 front splitter
Front splitter was by Rouse too. Ive got one fitted to the 4x4. Managed to twist their arm into selling just the splitter in 1994 😎 Took some begging though!... Would normally have been the entire kit, which I've never liked.
Thank you for the information pal 👌🏻
Great videos but the ford obsession is a bit much when there's tons of interesting classics in shot
👍
You missed the really interesting mini, the very early green sliding window traveller.
Have you watched the full video?
@@Mk2Mitch I guessed you'd covered all the Minis..Apologies.
Airport Fire engine perhaps?
I recon so! 👍🏻
✌️😎
As regards fords they have probably reached their limits the reason is the older gen are into it , The younger one's coming along won't have the interest to push prices higher their MO will be different cars than what has appealed by nostalgia to what the older gen experienced.
I think the older generation has rubbed off on us kids. We love the classic fords and I can’t see the prices dropping anytime soon! 👀
Sure you say it rowse
Probably do, my first time seeing one so please forgive me if I mispronounced it 👍🏻
How much did nova go for
Says in the video straight after the walk around it..?
I sold my s2 escort rs turbo in 1999. Sold it for £4000 and was concors condition. They go for stupid money now.
I had a s2 rs turbo around 2007 which I sold for £1700! Was in reasonable condition. Could only imagine what I’d get for it now.
Gutted mate, worth triple that now!
1300 CVH
How much did the cosworth make???
Have you watched the video?
I have watched your video but I cannot see me how much thand not see me how much that Sierra codsworth mate please let me know I'm very interested, He also have a 4 by 4 yeah it's ago
@@andrewellison1203 £45,750. All auction prices are shown after the walk arounds & shown at the bottom of the screen.
@@Mk2Mitch annoying
19,000 only. WTF!!!!!!!!!!
wher have all the mg maestros gone
To that big old recycling centre in the sky unfortunately mate 😎😎👌👌✌✌👍👍
Just to add to a few other comments (being a bit of a Ford fanatic & a mechanic who cut his teeth on these engines) the Mk3 escort had a choice of 3 petrol engines 1.1 ohv 1.3 & 1.6 cvh and I'm sure a 1.6 diesel aswell but don't hold me to that. On the Mk4 there was a choice of 4 petrol engines 1.1 & 1.3 ohv and 1.4 & 1.6 cvh plus a 1.8 diesel. But I have to disagree somewhat with a quote that the engines were rubbish. I think the problem 90% of the time was poor maintenance on the owners side. Where I saw countless times where the oil was never changed and it would gunk up and block all the places it needed to be. 😮💨 🤦♂️🙂
don't forget the 1.1 cvh, we had 3 on our fleet, 1982, they used metro points, but the condensers were special order, ford only. oilchange every 6k, cambelt 36k, good engines them cvh, if you serviced them... [apart from the 1.1]
@paulriggers1558 ok I personally never seen a 1.1 cvh or worked on one, don't know how long they used it for in the mk3 range ? I still have a 1985 Ford brochure of all new cars available to purchase I'm interested to find out ?? 👍
@@neilcook2587 my cousin had a 1.1cvh Mk3 Escort van back in the day. Sweet little engine it was. It wasn't produced long by Ford due to cost versus bhp (venerable 1.1 ohv much cheaper). When he went to the main Ford dealer for service items they didn't believe him! A quick look up by the technician confirmed 😁
Your not going to get thar escort finished if you keep bunking off to auctions,
The auction footage keeps the channel growing but also helps me motivate myself to get out in the garage! Also with the unlucky news about my engine I have been sourcing a new one, hence the slight lack of escort content 👍🏻 I can assure you the escort videos will resume very soon.
be a little helpful if you told us where in cheshire this is ??????????????????????????
I said Runcorn Cheshire at the end of the video. I also include their website in the description and the date for their next auction 👍🏻
Germany fire service all of them are low mileage
Mitch please sort your mic out…its cracking and popping!
My apologies, I do know the mic is getting bad and have ordered a much better set up!
YES they did 1.3 CVH engines. in the Early days.
they were a CRAP Engine, They Reverted back to the 1.3 OHV unit
A Brilliant Engine.
My 1989 Mk 4 Escort van had the 1.3 OHV as did all our 1.3 Escort cars. We LOVED Them.
Stay Away from the CVH engine.
OHV is Far Better.
The CVH 1.6 was Crap also.
the Mk1 fiesta 1600 OHV was way better.
The 1100cc OHV was the Best Engine for a Mk 3 Escort.
£4,000 for that Red CVH ? i Would pay £5,000 for a 1.1.
Mk3 Escort 1.1's are a Brilliant Car & Engine.
i ran a hire fleet of mk3s, the 1.3 cvh was the first ford escort that would do a genuine 100mph, never had any bother out of them
the 1.1 ohv used to burn valves all the time, or crack the head, or snap the sparkplugs
lack of servicing / knackered VV carbs was the cvh weak link, i knew how to sort those carbs. the mk4 1.3 ohv was actually a fiesta 1100 based lump, latterly known as a HCS [high compression swirl], + was a backwards step, rattley +underpowered, fitted because it was cheaper
every day for 3yrs i had to do a 70 mile round trip in 1hr, GGP626X, a white 1.3cvh, did the job + never missed a beat, + i have just checked, it lasted 10yrs...
@@paulriggers1558 that guys chatting shit, 1.3 cvh’s when maintained were fine but as usual some crack head pipes up thinking they are the new Quentin Wilson telling people who actually know these cars different .
Puddings 🤣
I can't believe that you only showed fords 😮 so boring 😴 🙄
Please add some constructive criticism so I can take onboard and improve these videos 👍🏻
Oh no not more boring fords never appealed to me those that do I don't mind I broke down in a kit car I had broke down on 47 pinto engine lorry shouted crappy Ford so I am not the only one that hates them have a nice day ?
Any need to negatively comment if you haven’t enjoyed the video? Don’t continue watching if you don’t enjoy and save both of our times 👍🏻
Bugger all classics here. A bunch of dead boring Fords that the Brits seem to think important. Bit odd.
Important to us. Just because you don’t deem them to be classics, you do not have to put us down to make yourself feel happier 👍🏻 We all enjoy different cars, a more positive comment or simply click off next time 😎
Bye 👋🏻 Wade
