Love my VW cars, but you're totally right in everything you're saying about the newer ones. That Mk4 golf on the other hand is a buy it and drive it forever car. Prety much the last thing VW built well.
Yes it was, very similar to the 75. BMW delayed selling the rover 75 by 12 months as the pre launch cars were to well fitted out so they downgraded them as they did not want it to compete against the 3/5 series which was going after the Stype and C Classes of that period
Lee an outstanding video mate 👍, really enjoyed watching it 👍 . Also very true you need to go to the auction to see / hear what you are buying . Call me old fashion but I don't do on line biding plus it a good day out at the auction plus a nice bit of breakfast 🍳 👍
Always great to see the inner workings of your process. I would have bought that ML for myself. I have decided I am avoiding Peugeot's for a while due to a few duds. A fiat 500 that looked fantastic ended up costing a new clutch and input bearing... . 😢
Love hearing the lingo on these. You've got a great eye for the paint imperfections! 12:00 not heard the expression dealers mist before , but it makes sense. I've seen photos of cars that are covered in beaded water, so makes sense it's to hide the imperfections. A few times Ive phoned about a car, and when asked about damage to paint etc the response is the bodywork reflects the age of the car. Yeah right! I've seen 05 plate cars that are in very good condition and some 15 plate dogs.
I went to look at a car the other week, you'd have thought it would be perfect going off the description. It had a weird chip out of the wing and possibly the strongest smell of smoke I've ever encountered in a car. I told him straight and he got all defensive and denied the smell of smoke.
Like the way you hold back on bidding and let your head rule your heart.you're there to make money, and not get involved in ego bidding.couple of tidy cars won, look forward to follow up vids on them.
That x-type was a sovereign not an se had all the sovereign extras,nicer paint, Barbados alloys,black piping on the seats,walnut dash and steering wheel and alpine speakers
The zafira looked an absolute snip. When I retire next year I'm looking for something I can put my bike and camping gear in... That Zafira would be perfect. Must be a decent profit for you surely. if it's not sold next year let me know 😊. Another top video by the way 👍👍👍
Lee, the one story that always comes through clearly is: go to the auction in person and get that breakfast coupon err um I meant avoid buying a pup. maybe its time to swing some spanners on all that 'do it next week' stock thats stuck in the garden?
Its very rare I will buy one, not because I dont want to. They are just always headaches around 2006-2009 plate golfs. The mk4 golf was far better car to buy and sell on.
Great stuff lee just shows going to the auction you can pick up faults the online bidders can’t see, proves do your homework and save yourself a few £,s
Another great auction video Lee m8...u bought well today yet again and like some people at auctions u don't let your heart rule your head...tbh u can't lose on your 2 buys so it's a good day's work in my eyes...looking forward to the extra time video to go with this auction video...Keep up the great work and here's to the next one...p.s I lov those saab 93 as well...lovely looking cars and much better than the vauxhall equivalent of its time...👍🏻😉
Great video….great content and knowledge . Golf mk4 Pd engines just keep going and arguably a bargain at £400. Partner had the same one from new in that colour and spec from new for 15 years and we were still getting close to 60mpg at 130k miles before we sold it. Brought an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Jtdm to replace it, very unreliable and not nearly as well built. Lasted a year before we sold it for a Vw transporter.
We've all gone out for one thing and come back with multiple, i once went out to buy a trickle charger & came home with a Vauxhall Belmont, a mountain bike, & a roof tent for a Suzuki grand vitara, easily done, great vid as always pal.
ah those zafiras i got £325 for a cat on an x reg 1 8 £175 scrap and 25 for the wiring stil got the rear lenses and had 4 years out of it for £290 great motor if you service it yearly
Had 4 Golfs 2 mk4s 2 Mk5s all bought unde 3 years old infact first 1 is the only brand new car I've ever bought a GT TDI 150 followed by a 130 then 2 GT TDI 140s . The Mk4s were far better quality all but 1 had windows that suddenly just dropped as the regulator holding thing broke. I've said it before I'm with you on Saab's loved every 1. You missed a trick buying the Saab and BMW Lee mate.
Golf GT 2.0 tdi Sport 170 smoke is a common stuff ,Faulty injector or Glow Plug issue Happens to almost everyone of them. Easy fix. They fetch a small fortune nowadays. Also from a dealer since 1989 I don't you have enough experience, 3 Door Hatchback is not always a good choice. Only 3 dr Corsa Polo or Bmw 1 series are worth the investment. Zafira is the right Colour always a good seller.Peugeot no thanks unless it's an Auto.
Went to Abs last year and same thing, pretend trader saying he'd not bid on an x type, anyway I had a word and bought it for 600,my son actually went to Geneva in it, car under a grand for charity thing, performed 100% everybody else scrapped their cars in Switzerland, it costs 400 e to scrap a car there.
Enjoyed this episode as always. I agree on the diesel Saab. It looked great in black but the 2 litre petrol turbo is the one to have. ULEZ friendly and you can save some money by buying the lowest powered 150bhp version and then send the ECU off to Noobtune which increases power to 220bhp and 360nm of torque, absolute weapon in the mid range. I think the only cheaper way to go faster is a train ticket😅 Just avoid 2006-7 autos as theyre in that horrible tax bracket. Looking forwarsd to the next one.
@@boyasaka My 2004 54 plate manual petrol was about £360 but my July 2006 petrol auto is nearly £700. Catches a few folk out. I only paid £350 for it a couple of years ago so all things considered it's cheap motoring.
@@split_pin thanks Yea I asked as about 12 years ago I bought a Volvo S60 T5! Road tax was 280 and went up to 300 I sold it after 3 years and bought a diesel Then last year I discovered my car a 2005 T5 was now £680 a year road tax Wtf
Glad you got stuff mate cars cheap up here in Scotland shame about distance , my personal chariot 58 tdi octavia ex cab had her 3 yrs 223000 but love it to bits,prob worth about 30 quid and a black pudding supper ,
Thanks Lee for a great video. I really like the way you spend a bit more time with the cars than others do. I tell you what, the 08 plate Jaguar 2.0D has a very poor MOT history and it says a lot about the no care and no love on that poor car. Cheers mate. Keep them coming. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it, the jaguar has been sold on by a friend of mine for spares. He made a a few hundred out of it and a mechanic has bought it to fix up.
good one ,zafira sound if cat doesnt kamikazi itself,you would have bought the bm if your pitch was up and running,c1 probably quacky because it needed a service and an italian tune,enjoyed watching this as as usaual its coalface working
Another fantastic video Lee, thanks very much. Totally agree with your thoughts on getting your wife out of a RR and into that ML but hey ho, happy wife happy life 👍🏻 I noticed a dark blue accord aerodeck in the hall, I'd be interested in your reasons for not having a closer look at that with the possibility of buying, are they too pricey, to specialist, too small a market or what? Thanks again, I look forward to part 2. Stay well 👍🏻
It was featured on a auction video about a month ago, its still not sold. To be fair its horrid, badly damaged big miles and running a 2.0 petrol engine which is sadly sounding terminal
@@carukchannel d'oh ..... I remember now, apologies 😊 Shows how easy it is to miss issues when you're not actually there. Some of the cars bought via internet bids must be a proper smack in the face when they turn up with the buyer.
Always enjoy your uploads Lee. A firm favourite channel of mine and I particularly respect your car trade honesty. Can I ask do you let Aston know you're filming or is it all done covertly?
I can only assume that because of loan interest rates going up then it is fuelling cheaper end of the market increasing auction demand because it's within reach of most people's savings.
The MK2 TT looks very dated inside and out. The Merc looked nice, surprised to see these sort of cars at Auction. Good getting that Zafira and the Clio.
Lee, I had to laugh as you were looking around the red Mazda 3 and commented “It’s not like it’s the ‘Sport’ model” Right at that moment you could actually see the chrome ‘Sport’ badge on the tail gate 😂🤣 Just made me laugh 😂 Love your videos mate 👍🏼 Hope you do well with the sales !!
I used to spend a lot of time at Enfield and Paddock wood when I was younger. I dabbled but nothing too serious. bought a few sold them on, a little bit of extra money. I liked low mileage or good quality brands. Only thing I lost on was a 2011 Renault clio , bought for £2350 spent about £350 on it and got rid at £2500. We needed the space as we were moving. Keep up the Vid's it makes me feel like going along to this one. How do you get the free breakfast?😂
I have never bought a car without having a quick look underneath I can't recall seeing you once having a quick look there is many rust buckets around for the price you pay
I think I would have gone for that BMW I was hoping to see a Volvo go through to get an idea of the prices that they are going for and considering going up to Exeter Auction but apparently, they only do bidding online so not a fan because as you said you can not see them go through and possibly hear or see possible faults with the vehicle
Love the videos and temped to go to an auction or two myself. What time do you need to arrive at Prees by to register and have a look round at potentials..?
Wasn't mad on anything there apart from the nice Merc maybe , am looking for something reliable with a little refinement at the mo actually was considering a polo but you say the Volkswagen's can suffer with sill rot. Maybe a Yaris or similar for me. Great content as usual Lee 😊
Surprised to here the -ve about Fiat Diesels… I had a Corsa (which was a punto chell) 1248 90hp Fiat engine… absolutely fabulous, proper 6 speed gearbox not like the crash reverse 5 speed they went back to… also I had a 16 Reg Zafira for 2 weeks with 2ltr Fiat diesel with a true autobox , glided along to Staithes n back at about 1500 revs, smooth n torque at low revs… but I don’t experience after loads of miles go on the dash… 😮
Not so much a issue at that age but when they get 10 Year old plus they become problematic where's other engines (its competitors) don't seem to have and carry on with little issues
Was john, too much that golf in my eyes and alot of pain for the online buyer who won it. Look after the rock John and watch out for them Spaniards up to no good 😉
@@carukchannel not too bad bud, but yeah you end up with loads of mold, I actually fully painted it a few years ago, had a rebuilt box on it as well, left it out side, summers evening, massive downpour, so paint ruined.
not really, i like that tackle but its not what i deal in and what i am experienced with. keep to the older stuff but will always show review newer cars as they are all relevant
@@carukchannel when I was trading I used to look forward to the newer stuff becoming value so could start buying it etc. used to do loads of Passat estates 4 years old ex lex etc and main dealer pxs like Inchcape used to get some nice late cars really good value but that was 02-07 different times. £3800 would buy a four year old miley Passat tdi 306 meridian estates for £2900 😄
Those S Types getting a bit rare now. But looks like too much work on that one. Like you, prefer petrol ones. Get past the rust issues they are cheap luxury/cruisers...
Hi Lee. Its Liam from Ireland again lol. Jesus that C1 was gorgeous and a lovely colour Blue. I used too drive a Jaguar X Type when i was over in London. Their very cheap. Mine was a 2002 and it was only Worth £1200 to £1500. Wow nice S type. There's an awful lot of High End Cars there Lee. You will find it harder and harder too grab something. At least i will Pray that there are always Small Cheap Cars to be got 😊. And your looking Good from when i saw you during the week lol 😅. That looks like a good Auction with abit of everything. I saw a 2016 BMW in the background. But they will want fortunes for it i suppose. Nice VW Scirocco. I hate black wheels aswell. The only good thing about these is that they Match the Mirrors 😅. I didn't know that those BMW's had problems with the Timing Chains. Everytime i watch one of your Video's i actually learn something lol so thanks very much. "And you can stop laughing now" OMG the Scirocco made £15000. Lee i swear watching from here you were so Lucky too get even ONE car. So i wouldn't feel too Pissed off Pal. You did grabbing what you did. No No not the TT. Let it go 😅😅. Lovely two cars out the door. This video has too be the best so far. I had Great fun today and it was a long video. It was Brilliant. Keep it up bro 😊😊. Chat later
@@carukchannel Aaaahh no way. I dont believe it. You've got a good name there. This is Stone Mad. This has made my day 😊. But i will keep this too myself. You never know who's out there. Great video today as usual. Chat laters lol. I cant get this stupid smile off my face. Brilliant lol
On the saab if you can find a decent one are they still worth buying? How easy is it to get parts and have em repaired etc given saab went bust many years ago ?
Bet the vendor of the no reserve jag wished he'd scraped it, he'd have only got 220 back from barclays, I got 1495 for one a few mths ago, diesel sport with 96k on.
@@carukchannel just shows mate, if your in with them it high prices, but you put one in and it's 30 Bob, lamb to the slaughter, I've put a few in over the years and it's been a waste of time, put a manta gte in Leeds once back in the day, made 100 quid got back 70.
Hi Lee loving the content 👍I am thinking of buying an early BMW Mini (as a future classic)don't want one with the prince engine! What year's should I be looking at?
To be honest anything pre 2006 will fit the bill, they do suffer with corrosion on the floor pans behind the fuel tank which can be expensive to put right at that age. A cooper S will be the one that will be the biggest riser with out doubt but even a standard cooper will go up in value if kept clean in the coming years. Try and find the best lowest milage example you can afford👍
Maybe you could allow your fans to join you - so long as they bring some money and then you could have some fun picking up cars for them and then at least you can tell the wife that you've already flogged them! No wonder Aston Barclay likes you - you are drumming up new customers for them every day.
HELL MAN I LOVE THAT REDDISH JAGUAR. GOING FOR ONLY 900 POUNDS. THAT'S ABOUT R18,000 ( THAT'S SOUTH AFRICAN RAND) .I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO BUY IT AS I'M A JAG-FAN.
Don't talk about mazdas to me..that 6 estate i had , had to go for scrap the chassis was like swiss cheese ,,,, but i did end up in my lovely R reg 400, though i did actually like the Mazda
The rundown on each vehicle giving the weak points and plus points is really useful. Another good video.
I really enjoy watching the auction videos, I’ve never been to an auction, so it’s all new to me, thank you for taking us along Lee 😊.
Thanks for watching kate,
Love my VW cars, but you're totally right in everything you're saying about the newer ones. That Mk4 golf on the other hand is a buy it and drive it forever car. Prety much the last thing VW built well.
Lee I laughed out loud when you said, "I didn't want to bid on that one again in case he dosant give me another lift to the auction"
Don't want to burn the bridges leeds 😁
loving the good stuff lee! wishing you well and I always fun to watch you going around at these auctions
Thanks 👍
These are addictively watchable videos.
Thanks robert, I am off to some other auction houses next week so more auction content to come 👍👍
takes a lot of experience n knowledge to not let yourself get carried away, very insightful, more please 👌
Sorry for the delay in getting this one out guys, Enjoy the video and don't forget to click that like button 👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁
That black bmw was a cheap car
The Vauxhall zafira you bought was a cheap car,,
Really enjoyed this video,,
God bless Lee my man,,
@@marymongan6360 Many thanks
Enjoying the videos, lots of cars going through today but not many that stood out.
Great Lee, nearly an hour video but goes so quickly. Always loved the S Type, I think its the rover 75 look of that era
Yes it was, very similar to the 75. BMW delayed selling the rover 75 by 12 months as the pre launch cars were to well fitted out so they downgraded them as they did not want it to compete against the 3/5 series which was going after the Stype and C Classes of that period
Convertibles often have a few owners, people buy them for the summer,keep them a year or two then change enjoyed the auction footage.
Bloody love this channel. Fascinating easy listening with great content . Subscribed.
Thanks and welcome 👍👍😁
Lee an outstanding video mate 👍, really enjoyed watching it 👍 . Also very true you need to go to the auction to see / hear what you are buying . Call me old fashion but I don't do on line biding plus it a good day out at the auction plus a nice bit of breakfast 🍳 👍
Thanks ian yes you cant beat the sale in person.
This has turned out to be one of my favourite channels. Keep it up.
Wow, thanks! 👍👍
Always great to see the inner workings of your process. I would have bought that ML for myself. I have decided I am avoiding Peugeot's for a while due to a few duds. A fiat 500 that looked fantastic ended up costing a new clutch and input bearing... . 😢
have to be careful with fiat 500s currently, there is a massive shortage of clutch parts in the uk for them
I owned a Peugeot once.
Never again
Thanks for the family wagons 😊 appreciate the pointers ,
Cracking video as always Lee, also looking forward to seeing the new premises!!!
So am I 🤣
Really interesting! Thanks for posting
Love watching the auctions! Those VW Scirocco's are nice looking. Another car I wish they would have imported here. 🙄
I enjoyed the car auction videos always do. Keep them coming 👍👍
Thanks! Will do!
Love hearing the lingo on these. You've got a great eye for the paint imperfections!
12:00 not heard the expression dealers mist before , but it makes sense. I've seen photos of cars that are covered in beaded water, so makes sense it's to hide the imperfections.
A few times Ive phoned about a car, and when asked about damage to paint etc the response is the bodywork reflects the age of the car. Yeah right! I've seen 05 plate cars that are in very good condition and some 15 plate dogs.
Very true, cars always look better in the rain, hence the dealers mist 👍😁
I went to look at a car the other week, you'd have thought it would be perfect going off the description. It had a weird chip out of the wing and possibly the strongest smell of smoke I've ever encountered in a car. I told him straight and he got all defensive and denied the smell of smoke.
Love these videos The bmw was a bargain looking forward to part (2)👍
Like the way you hold back on bidding and let your head rule your heart.you're there to make money, and not get involved in ego bidding.couple of tidy cars won, look forward to follow up vids on them.
thank tomo, yes try to keep a cool head, not always possible.
Watch all these from Oz. Love your slang and your stories. Thanks so much Lee.

That x-type was a sovereign not an se had all the sovereign extras,nicer paint, Barbados alloys,black piping on the seats,walnut dash and steering wheel and alpine speakers
Honestly I laughed when you said emphatically (as if quoting the Mrs?) "We don't need to buy any more stock."
😁
Love your channel mate! Love to hear your knowledge on different car models.
thanks Henry 👍👍
@21:02 That is great. Just convert it to LPG and it is cheaper than a turbo diesel to fill up, especially with decent horsepower.
Brilliant keep the videos coming. Top bloke
Really enjoy these auction videos 👌keep them coming pal .

maybe its time to swing some spanners on all that 'do it next week' stock thats stuck in the garden?

Thanks 👍 john

thanks for watching bud and appreciate the comment 👍👍
Agree with your comments on the golf Lee had a 1.9 tdi 07 155000 miles started to get loads of issues and scrapped it
Its very rare I will buy one, not because I dont want to. They are just always headaches around 2006-2009 plate golfs. The mk4 golf was far better car to buy and sell on.

If i need to look under I do before filming it or as it comes through. I don't do it on camera 😁
Drivers can be helpfull for info but you can get in the cars before they go through and test for clutch bite and steering etc
@@carukchannel ok no worries
Thumbs up from me mate 👌👌
Much appreciated
Would love to see a vid on the zafira but living the content keep up the good work lee
I cover it in my next vlog video episode 2 which should be out in the next 10 days or so
Another great vid thanks Lee love your content
My pleasure👍👍
I wish I could buy something at an auction, looking for a 17/18 plate galaxy and the prices on the forecourt are stupid
I think I would have gone for that BMW I was hoping to see a Volvo go through to get an idea of the prices that they are going for and considering going up to Exeter Auction but apparently, they only do bidding online so not a fan because as you said you can not see them go through and possibly hear or see possible faults with the vehicle
Love the videos and temped to go to an auction or two myself. What time do you need to arrive at Prees by to register and have a look round at potentials..?
auctions starts at 10 on a thursday, I would say get there for 9am ish to give time to view around
Just got my missis a replacement civic for her 10 plate 2,2 7 year ago £3,300 with a 12 2,2 costing £4000 🤷🤦♂️👍
Wasn't mad on anything there apart from the nice Merc maybe , am looking for something reliable with a little refinement at the mo actually was considering a polo but you say the Volkswagen's can suffer with sill rot. Maybe a Yaris or similar for me. Great content as usual Lee 😊
polo is not a bad shout, its golfs of that age that seem to be temperamental
@@carukchannel Thanks Lee .
Great video😃 thanks Lee
Thanks for watching andrew
Surprised to here the -ve about Fiat Diesels… I had a Corsa (which was a punto chell) 1248 90hp Fiat engine… absolutely fabulous, proper 6 speed gearbox not like the crash reverse 5 speed they went back to… also I had a 16 Reg Zafira for 2 weeks with 2ltr Fiat diesel with a true autobox , glided along to Staithes n back at about 1500 revs, smooth n torque at low revs… but I don’t experience after loads of miles go on the dash… 😮
Not so much a issue at that age but when they get 10 Year old plus they become problematic where's other engines (its competitors) don't seem to have and carry on with little issues
Hi Lee it's john from Gibraltar,I hope you make a profit on this Zafira.Shame about the c1.They paid strong money for that golf wow!
Was john, too much that golf in my eyes and alot of pain for the online buyer who won it. Look after the rock John and watch out for them Spaniards up to no good 😉
I've actually given Aston barclay a miss for a few weeks, I'm working thru stock I've built up, just on with one from 2019!
Bet its lovely inside 🤣🤣
@@carukchannel not too bad bud, but yeah you end up with loads of mold, I actually fully painted it a few years ago, had a rebuilt box on it as well, left it out side, summers evening, massive downpour, so paint ruined.
@@roystonvehicles9129that’s a shame bud
@@roystonvehicles9129 was that the z4
Good stuff again mate 👍
Thanks 👍
I would have bid on the Saab...one of the nicer cars in that lot...rare too...
i love all your auction car videos lee m8.just avoid the grumby gateman,hahahaha.
I learnt a lot from you today, thanks Lee
Glad you enjoyed it
that red Fiesta Sport has been there for a long time
What you bought was decent I think i would of had a pop at the black BM aswell can’t win them all Lee there’s always next week
Yes I should of had a go at it to be fair
Your motivation for the mundane is incredible - do you not fancy buying the next generation ie Scirocco or 13-18 plate stuff?
not really, i like that tackle but its not what i deal in and what i am experienced with. keep to the older stuff but will always show review newer cars as they are all relevant
@@carukchannel when I was trading I used to look forward to the newer stuff becoming value so could start buying it etc. used to do loads of Passat estates 4 years old ex lex etc and main dealer pxs like Inchcape used to get some nice late cars really good value but that was 02-07 different times. £3800 would buy a four year old miley Passat tdi 306 meridian estates for £2900 😄
Zaf for nowt. Excellent. Heard about touching subject new shape C4. Remember video on that. Needed engine. Whatever happened to her
Its done, I am due to film the part 3 on it monday so will look to get it out later next week 👍
If the audi tt came with the private plate, could of been a way to pay for the paintwork, by selling the plate number 🤔
maybe but its not a great plate, better to leave it on and make it easier to sell on. but it did need some paint thats for sure.
Those S Types getting a bit rare now. But looks like too much work on that one. Like you, prefer petrol ones. Get past the rust issues they are cheap luxury/cruisers...
Hi Lee. Its Liam from Ireland again lol. Jesus that C1 was gorgeous and a lovely colour Blue. I used too drive a Jaguar X Type when i was over in London. Their very cheap. Mine was a 2002 and it was only Worth £1200 to £1500. Wow nice S type. There's an awful lot of High End Cars there Lee. You will find it harder and harder too grab something. At least i will Pray that there are always Small Cheap Cars to be got 😊. And your looking Good from when i saw you during the week lol 😅. That looks like a good Auction with abit of everything. I saw a 2016 BMW in the background. But they will want fortunes for it i suppose. Nice VW Scirocco. I hate black wheels aswell. The only good thing about these is that they Match the Mirrors 😅. I didn't know that those BMW's had problems with the Timing Chains. Everytime i watch one of your Video's i actually learn something lol so thanks very much. "And you can stop laughing now" OMG the Scirocco made £15000. Lee i swear watching from here you were so Lucky too get even ONE car. So i wouldn't feel too Pissed off Pal. You did grabbing what you did. No No not the TT. Let it go 😅😅. Lovely two cars out the door. This video has too be the best so far. I had Great fun today and it was a long video. It was Brilliant. Keep it up bro 😊😊. Chat later
Thanks liam, I will let you into a secret, my birth name is Liam also😁
@@carukchannel Aaaahh no way. I dont believe it. You've got a good name there. This is Stone Mad. This has made my day 😊. But i will keep this too myself. You never know who's out there. Great video today as usual. Chat laters lol. I cant get this stupid smile off my face. Brilliant lol
That Smokey golf reminds me to never buy online. The room was dead on it!
yes guys in the room were not having it
Don't understand the online bidders either. Obviously more money than sense.
On the saab if you can find a decent one are they still worth buying? How easy is it to get parts and have em repaired etc given saab went bust many years ago ?
parts are not bad to get hold of, yes a nice one is well worth having 👍
Thank you.
Appreciate your expertise. I see Astons do Motability sales - do they generally represent good value?
yes
Bet the vendor of the no reserve jag wished he'd scraped it, he'd have only got 220 back from barclays, I got 1495 for one a few mths ago, diesel sport with 96k on.
yes they gave that away really
@@carukchannel just shows mate, if your in with them it high prices, but you put one in and it's 30 Bob, lamb to the slaughter, I've put a few in over the years and it's been a waste of time, put a manta gte in Leeds once back in the day, made 100 quid got back 70.
Hi Lee loving the content 👍I am thinking of buying an early BMW Mini (as a future classic)don't want one with the prince engine! What year's should I be looking at?
To be honest anything pre 2006 will fit the bill, they do suffer with corrosion on the floor pans behind the fuel tank which can be expensive to put right at that age. A cooper S will be the one that will be the biggest riser with out doubt but even a standard cooper will go up in value if kept clean in the coming years. Try and find the best lowest milage example you can afford👍
@@carukchannel thanks Lee your knowledge and experience is invaluable 👍
Maybe you could allow your fans to join you - so long as they bring some money and then you could have some fun picking up cars for them and then at least you can tell the wife that you've already flogged them! No wonder Aston Barclay likes you - you are drumming up new customers for them every day.
Another great video.
I appreciate that
HELL MAN I LOVE THAT REDDISH JAGUAR. GOING FOR ONLY 900 POUNDS. THAT'S ABOUT R18,000 ( THAT'S SOUTH AFRICAN RAND) .I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO BUY IT AS I'M A JAG-FAN.
You would be the talk south Africa billy 👍👍😁Thanks for watching bud
Don't talk about mazdas to me..that 6 estate i had , had to go for scrap the chassis was like swiss cheese ,,,, but i did end up in my lovely R reg 400, though i did actually like the Mazda
you came off good in the end lee😁👍
@@carukchannel yeah..have to agree with you there
