Re: At The Auctions
If it was any good, at £27K, that Red S looks like it went for more of an "Enthusiast driven price" rather than a "Speculator driven price".....

Re: At The Auctions
VdP 4R, even has a tow bar, could be a nice buy if the price is ok.

You could re-create the one that BMC Competitions Dept used as a rally support vehicle in the 1960s Remarkable to find one that hasn't rusted away now. They did suffer terribly from rustOneball wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 9:03 am VdP 4R, even has a tow bar, could be a nice buy if the price is ok.

Re: At The Auctions

Re: At The Auctions
Plus commission. Still cheap compared to a Mk1 but the rot looked pretty advanced.

Re: At The Auctions
Looked to me like someone had already started a restoration -of sorts and it'd got the better of him. Look at the windscreen scuttle panel. Then he'd ;et the original wheels go for some reason and then let the car go.......... None of the usual police ..'one careful owner' type holes in the dash panel so far as I can see.
Anyone know where (U)BD was registered?

Re: At The Auctions
The interior and the white roof really stand out as wrong on that traveller to say nothing of the red block.

Re: At The Auctions
Another quite nice condition Mk1 S on BAT
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1967- ... ooper-s-18
Wouldn’t take too much to get it back to standard spec - ditch the later plastic arches and wheels etc.

Re: At The Auctions
Loving that MG Montego, wonder how much it will make?

Re: At The Auctions
Those 2.0EFI Montegos and Maestros were about the last cars we sold as a BL/Rover dealer. The went very well and were quite a car to drive but unfortunately the build quality was crap I thought quite seriously about buying a used one for myself but they were falling to bits by the time they were a couple of years old and I bought a GL5 Passat instead. Rare cars now.

Re: At The Auctions
I wonder what the real story is with the TR8
Such a strange tale on the listing you would have thought a collector would have stored it better and also tried to sell it on long ago
The TR7/8 shape and look imo have aged quite gracefully still look okay today, apart from the bumpers as many wedge shape cars from the 70's and 80's the bumpers look like a complete ill fitting after thought.
A detail that a lot of car builders from over the pond go to great lenghs to improve upon
