Great Auctioneer is Jim. So much more clear than most but also far more polite than any I ever met. To young people, think about this , watched a Sunbeam Alpine not as good as the one I had 50 years ago and sold for £200. todays prices £7000.
2:26:15 Wow! My first three cars were Toyota Celicas so it's nice to see so much interest in one here. They were nicknamed "Mini Mustangs" at the time. In around 1985 I bought an 'S' reg Celica Liftback at an auction in SE London, no reserve and nobody else in the room was interested in it. Lucky me. It was the rarer, faster GT version and I got it for £200, so to see the ST version here fetching £17,000 is incredible.
Hi Jim! Going to be watching the auction tonight, hopefully the lots will actually reach the bottom estimate this time. I’ll be registering to bid next time. 👍 Nice one Joe
Really cheap prices,, shame i am in Australia,the safari wagon was wild.......... i dont know if i am game enough to be seen driving it but who cares. if the sunbeems were V8,s i would jump on one. The BSA bikes were cheap........ Great bunch of history here,.
Last few Auctions on here some cars have gone for incredible prices….Bond Bug 27k and x reg Fiesta Super-sport 23k. First auction where the prices are more realistic. Many not meeting reserve and provisional. Enjoy this channel
Every auction is an eye-opener ay. A wild mix compared to home, but I think they'd love our fine array of Cortina's, Holdens and 80's Japanese imports. Thanks for watching.
A few weeks ago the market overheated and prices overshot. That I think has heightened sellers expectations and frightened some buyers. Recent prices have pulled some uninspiring offerings onto the market. It seems that this has been a tougher market and that a lot of work will go on after the sale to bring together the expectations of the buyers and sellers. A great job by the auctioneer who has to find a balance between goading/charming the bidders and keeping the energy in the sale up, which must be hard with so many provisional sales.
Actually a provisional bid is a bid that is under reserve but one that I feel is worth submitting, Classic cars are extremely hard to accurately value in auction as there are so many variables in the buying decision. Fishing doesn’t come into it Every vehicle is for sale
On the Jensen interceptor they said £500 / half bids wouldn’t be accepted, surely the owner would prefer the extra £500 if it were offered, what’s the reason for that?
It’s a balance between what I’m holding as a maximum commission bid and other factors come into play. As well as the fact that some bidders will take you up in tenners if I let them !
When I say it’s provisional, that means the highest bid has not reached the minimum reserve price, so we contact the owner and try to make a deal between what the bid is and how much the owner will come down ! It’s usually successful !
You’re only able to make silly comments because we’re using modern technology to catalogue, bid on multi digital platforms and broadcast it to the world ! And until a thought transferral app is invented I’ll be using pen and paper for my notes

The Renault Dauphine has a unique history. It was the first private 'Mini cab' as opposed to licenced taxis in London. They were all maroon in colour.
Really interesting and Jim (auctioneer) does an excellent job; clear voice, patient and makes it look easy - I'm sure it isn't.
Thankyou! Nice to know my work is appreciated!
@@jimronan3087 Nice one Joe!! Great auction with a great auctioneer, I will definitely be there when the auction house is open again. Keep it up 👍
The Stevens Cipher which went through yesterday is a rare bird......one of only 6 made.
excellent auction

really enjoyed this, some of the prices are so low, makes you think

Should have mentioned the Swallow connection with Jaguar
Great range of cars, we don't get this variety in New Zealand, just ask your cameraman.
Enjoyed this thanks!
There's nobody in NZ !

Cheap classics in London due to ban.
Totally agree. More realistic prices this auction
I love auctione cars 🤩
Jim’s brilliant but the classic market is very dead at the moment. With very low prices.
I would like to buy a classic car, but worried about parts and finding a knowledgable mechanic for an MOT, etc.
provisional...thats not an auction its a fishing expedition .
Actually a provisional bid is a bid that is under reserve but one that I feel is worth submitting, Classic cars are extremely hard to accurately value in auction as there are so many variables in the buying decision. Fishing doesn’t come into it Every vehicle is for sale
1981 MG B G T. Omg. £2500. Omg 😮. I would have bought that. Omg. I cannot believe how cheap it was
Please give the auctioneer a headmic, thats more useful that this handheld.
No crust
This is a crime some of these low prices

Where is Roger?.from The Who lookalike
Not the same without the main introduction msn, he makes this complete
whats sold at provisional mean

@@jimronan3087 thank you very much jim for the explanation now i understand , thank you kindly .
He uses a pen and paper, thats UK, they are so old fashioned.
We prefer to call it traditional 😃
and stops for a sip of tea, keeping everyone waiting, now that's as classic as any of the cars he's selling - briliant.
