Both of those look like little crackers
I'm not sure that the "Clipper Blue" saloon has been resprayed in the right colour though?

The Clipper Blue car is definitly all original including the paint.
I know this car very well belonging to a good friend of mine. A very genuine car with a genuine reason for selling.
He also has the Willow Green van in the auction which I restored 17 years ago. It has had very little use since then and in excellent order.

I saw a one owner silver T reg (?) mini genuine barn find go through Matthewsons on B&C last week. Rough with the usual rust bits but all there. Went for a very low £1400. A good buy for someone

That could have been many years ago, lots of repeats of that show.

I saw that too. It was a horrible, rusty and dusty old non-running Mayfair straight out of a shed and needing a complete restoration. Is that worth doing??
I thought it did well to make £1400.00 - and yes, that episode probably was a few years old

Hmmm......., the new owner of the v low mileage silver Mayfair, doing the subsequent restoration certainly thought it was very good value at £1,400. Not sure that it was an old/repeat showing. Anyone confirm it? It was shown less than a month ago

RIGHT THEN GUYS, HERE WE GO, LOOK 
Another ten footer from Mathewsons. It's had plenty of welding but it'd be okay for the right money - i.e £5000 or so. It looks fairly original apart from the bootlid.
