    Just for all the guys slagging about Mk2 4 doors and rallying there are quite alot around various stages in the UK/Ireland. Ricky Crone Motorsport can be seen on youtube

    Yes must say you do it just right ,quick intro, to each vehicle then straight to the sale or none sale as the case may be. Makes a very pleasant change from the usual B/S that most spue out ! I have now given up on classic cars as I can't afford a quality one . I do still have a garage full of classic bikes which have also lost most of their value now , so I'm just going to keep them as long as I can still ride them.

    I work on older cars, bmw and porsche mostly. The big issue with the classic car world in the last few years is it has become “lifestyle” and “trendy” Billions got invested to create auction houses and selling of said lifestyle. What happened? Well they needed cars to sell so everything became a “classic”. Many people got leveraged into “investments” when in fact they got misled. You have an entire group of people that overpaid for things simply because someone on youtube or media said “life this lifestyle” “be cool and trendy” “make a classic car your entire identity”

      Same thing has happened with watches like Rolex and Porsche cars in general thanks to the Instagram generation.
      The amount of pics I see with a steering wheel and a watch promoting some kind of ‘look at me’ lifestyle. Problem is, this lot were funded by mindless Bitcoin profits where they did absolutely nothing and ended up with piles of cash to blow on all this crap, inflating prices until the next ‘lifestyle’ fad comes along.

    I owned an almost identical Vitesse in BRG on a G plate, with fully colour-coded bumpers and red inserts. It looked the part and had a well-finished interior. Ride was a bit choppy, electric sun roof used to jam and rear seat was cramped/set too high but it was for the era, quite peppy. Unfortunately, bought 6 months old with 2.5k on the clock for £8,750, it had been crash-damage repaired and I had no end of problems with the paintwork on one side and on the rear bumper, in addition to water leaks in the boot. Spoilt an otherwise decent car (a Honda in drag), but Hyacinth in a Vitesse….I don’t think so! £3k sounds a bit rich to me. Great channel content by the way.

    At 15:00 the guy was just continually holding up his bidding card. I bought some cars at auction where I was prepared to pay a lot more than the arguing bids. I just shouted out my highest offer and the other bidders shut up and I got it. Better in my opinion than getting dragged along 1k at a time. He got a brand new top of the range practical Mercedes, far superior to any of the new ones, for half the price of a starter Mercedes, or for the price of a posh Focus.

That guy was going to buy the car whatever the price, and he wouldn't stop bidding till the other guy gave up.

    They’re the ultimate feel good purchase and I am not feeling that feel good feeling currently.

    It looks like a buyers market right now, but I dont have space for any more. Isnt that always the case ? Prices (except for Fords) are really cheap.
    Without being political, there seems to be little optimism around. But then that big Mercedes really proved its value. "true worth at this current time" says it all.
