I WANTED TO SEE THE JAGUAR XK 120 OR 140 SOLD AS THIS WAS A REAL WONDERFUL CAR. PRODUCED IN THE EARLY 1950'S. AN OUTSTANDING TECHNICAL ADVANCE. POSSIBLY A PRE WAR TWO SEATER WITH UPDATED BODY PANELS LIKE BULBIOUS WINGS..
OMG The Ford Capri 2.8i Injection
Back in 1982, this was the standard by which all other cars were judged by
157 BHP from a 2792 cc V6 Engine. 0-60 MPH in around 7.7 seconds and a top speed of around 130 MPH .. I know this is mainstream now in cars but back in 1982, this was RAPID.
Can you just imagine the first owner driving this off the Ford dealer's forecourt on 18th September 1982...Putting the radio on and blasting this car on the motorway to the number one single ...Eye of the Tiger by Survivor ... Little did the owner know that this car WOULD be a "Survivor"
"would I like to see it restored" ? No Elton, I'd like to see it burned to a cinder...hahaha. Great video again guys xx
That poor car. I'm so glad somebody loved it enough to give it a chance 😂
Thanks for sharing this auction with us. Loved the Triumph Roadster! Some very strange prices for some cars. Cheers
Love Claires look regarding the Volvo limousine 😅
My daughter grassed me up. Thick as thieves, those two 😂
I can certainty recommended ACA for a good day out. Top bacon bap and friendly like minded people to chat with.
Loved the Astra GTE, had one back in 95
Hi I'm new to your channel and I'm enjoying the content you guys are showing 👍👍
Thank you. That’s really nice to hear.
Ah the FSO Polonez, my favourite car. My grandpa had owned one it was a green Caro from i think 1995 used to love that car and my grandparents keep telling me how i cried after they had to scrap it because of rust problems and that was back when I was like 5 or 6 years old and im turning 18 today 😅. Great-grandmother also had one it was a red Truck for her little shop.
That car amazed us. We're so glad we featured it. We're big fans of the underdog here and that one punched well above its weight! I know people look down on cars like that now, but both Claire and I come from humble upbringings and know full-well how cars of that ilk gave families like our own a quality of life we wouldn't have had without them. They created great memories. Thanks for commenting - Elton
Thanks another great video. I think that limo might keep getting you in trouble Elton. 😂
Amazing money for that polonez. Brilliant vid very enjoyable thanks for posting😁❤
I watched the full Saturday and Sunday, the Fiat Uno was the car of the weekend for me but I do like my Italian stuff, thanks for sharing as always.
Yep, another big 👍👍 video.
Great video! Great to see a FSO Polonez again! The last time I saw one was in the 1990s. They were one of the cheapest cars on the Dutch market back then (it was either the Fiat 125/Lada 1200-derived FSO 125P, also known as the Polski Fiat, or the Yugo that was the cheapest car in Holland back in the day). There was a dealership close to my home and I think I still have a box of original folders for the Polonez 1500 somewhere. There was someone in our village who still drove a Polonez up until 1996.
I don't know a thing about E-Type prices but I guess the roadster will go for spare parts? For a restoration project the auction price is far too much imo
The lovely Claire knows what’s what
Enjoyed that made me wonder if my 2.8i is under a tarp somewhere or long since turned into cans of beans.. Blue over silver 4 speed reg - NTX 7X - Happy memories.
I started work in 1984 and remember the foreman having an FSO in grey brand new £3995 it was better than walking but only just.
😂I don't think I've ever seen one on the road, but reviews of them by people who remember them are 'interesting'!
Great video, loved the cars, thought thad bond bug, wasn't expensive, the rest made very good money! The E type was flipping stupid money! Unless of course it was an ex racing car? Claire again a bit of a "highlight" and your not too bad either! Loved the BSA I've got a Bantam to sell if you're interested 😊😊
And one more thing it's in development as we speak .insurance companies within the next 5to10 years all cars will be fitted by the way of digital box to monitor realtime driving and charge you in accordance with your driving habits. vintage cars won't be able to be insured for road use basically museum pieces and will be insured on house insurance all you will be able to do is start it and rev it on your driveway and sit in it
The limousine is great. Hopefully, you can get driven around occasionally. Loved that FSO, too, a part of automotive history, the cheap Eastern European car.
Limos can be such a laugh. They’re just ridiculous things 😂 I agree about the FSO. Whatever anyone’s views, they’re part of history and I’m glad this one’s being saved.
my mate use to banger race fso's in the 90's, they were quit good!
Claire, if it’s of interest to you, a similar Chevrolet Corvette was featured long ago on the “Route 66” television series in the US.
It is David, thanks for that. I’ll see if I can find it 👍
Thanks for the content really enjoying the channel . will have to pay a visit to the show when i retire lol ty
Thank you. So pleased you’re enjoying it. We’re still finding our way, but feedback like this really helps. Hope you make it to the NEC soon!
I had those seat covers in my hillman imp but green check 1980😮
Mad price fo the E-type. Well done on the Volvo Limo. Bargain people carrier!
Bond Bug? Why? They were utterly horrible to drive when they were new. Yes, I have driven one. Nasty things.
The polonez, that was my first learner car I drove😂😂😂
Keep the video coming guys
We’ll do our best. Thank you 🙏
I just sent the video to my Mrs in work and said watch it from 8.15 till 8.45 it's hilarious the look on his Mrs face. Her reply was I'd be the same you'd of bought that as well lol
Brilliant 😂
Not familiar with those cars, the polonez (being in western Canada and such though with a gaggle of eccentric collectors I'm sure there's a few around), but I have owned a number of hatchbacks like subarus and tercels etc, and there seems to be a kinship there, ugly and practical, just fix it and drive it, rinse and repeat though I do understand that is an old model in very good nick. Price on the jag was jaw-dropping and as a few have mentioned the price it'd take to get that right? Go get one you can drive for less I think. Fun auction thanks for sharing! :)
Claire might have been less annoyed if you’d bought the FSO! I watched the sale and to be honest the barn finds prices (Corvette and E-Type) see illogical given the current cost of a professional restoration, surely you could buy a restored car for less? The Astra GTE was nice and rare but really £16,300 + fees😮. The Capri guide price always looked a bit conservative TBH. Another great auction video guys!
I’d love to be able to follow up some of these barn find auctions, as I often think the same. The logical conclusion would be that it’s the actual restorers themselves who are buying them. The maths would be mind-blowing, otherwise.
E type I guess that registration has a known history. The Henkel engine will run red hot if pushed hard. Subject of much amusement in its day! The doors were always known as forward opening. The word suicide is a very modern term. I owned a 2000 many years ago and it was a very relaxed drive.
The Fso Polonez badge is definitely the last question on who wants to be a Millionaire 😎
😂 definitely!
Must be a reason that particular E Type shell went for more money than a lovely red 1968 run/drive/restored one with near full MOT went for later on ( lot 676).
Surprised 2.8i Capri had no electric windows
The seat covers design in the cabine (lot 600) my dad fitted a set in his 1976 (new)Ford Escort identical in pattern and colour
I'm glad I wasn't totally making that up. I knew that pattern was familiar. Thanks for proving I'm not going mad! - Elton
Those seat covers were widely bailable mid to late 1970’s, think I had yellow and black in my mini.
The classic 2.8 Capri with peper pot alloys, the term for the tartan interior escapes me. The corvette will turn heads as is.. without a engine, allo Jon got a new mota.
I severed my time in a garage that was a fso dealer easy to work on but not the best.
I thought I heard your name called for the Volvo and thought - surely he hasn't gone for that - now I know! Claire's face was a picture. I used to drive Jaguar limos like this when I worked in the funeral industry up here in Norfolk. Great fun to drive if you don't mind the awkward turning circle
😂 Elton has got a long way to go in convincing me the limo was a good purchase Phillip! I can imagine the turning circle in a Jag limo would be err…..challenging!
that little Heinkel would have been cool on the channel for content
The bubble car not a left hand drive it centralises when you shut the door so it’s in the middle
Bond bug strip down lot ya nut + bolt restranson ya mite get £10,000 if mint
Best parts of this video
1. Claire
2.astra gte
3.capri 2.8i
4. E type
87. Fso polenez
This made us both laugh out loud 😂😂
I had a fiesta same age as fso got rid of it
Polonez.Not seen one on the road for many years.There is a following for Eastern European vehicles,so,not that sup fixed at the price.
" 900 NOT" has some interesting past history 😲
The Capri was well bought.
Agreed 👍
The jag or the bond bug 🤨
Nah ,you got a good deal withthe limo volvo, looks mint ,not the looks of the wife
She’ll get over it 😂 I bought a Mercedes one a while back. Everyone I know wondered why, Claire included, until we started going places in it. She enjoyed that one, apart from when she was in the back and I hit the speed bumps a bit hard! They’re such a laugh for very little money, in car terms.
Polonez goes back to Poland. Now people are crazy about this cars as they very rare, the UK market version especially, it's going to be good future sell/money investment.
That’s good to hear. These cars need preserving. They are part of history.
how much was the Ariel 3 ?
Sorry for the delay. £675, including fees. The full listing for it is here - angliacarauctions.co.uk/classic-auctions/2610-04-Nov-2023/4022~1-1972-bsa-ariel-3-tricycle
£35,750 for the e type😮
Yep. I didn’t see that one coming!
FSO Polonez - a fool & their money are easily parted
The capri was never going to be under 10k, and ford's have not slowed down
I am a Canadian from Edmonton AB, I have always been a car nut and used to buy Classic and Sports car just to see UK stuff as I needed something different from the US/Canadian stuff. I like the way you work together and am also a fan of Sleeperdude from the US. Your wife's knowledge is impressive. I also follow Jay Leno with whom I share similar tastes and Tom Cotter. I can tell your enthusiasm which I share but cannot participate because of my disability except by excellent shows like these. I barely watch anything else while using my tablet for gaming. Keep up the good work and thank you. 😊
By the way Jay and I share a birthday 12 years apart 😅
Thanks so much for the lovely comment. It’s so nice to think that this couple from the UK can share a bit of happiness with people the world over. It’s what makes CZcams so rewarding.
This is probably the first time we’ve been mentioned in the same sentence as Jay Leno, too 😀
Volvo looks a bargain
rool over toy
So let me get this right they will give you 2,900 pounds to take that piece of junk (fso pollen)
That poor FSO. I used to get all the same comments with my Allegro 😂
AND rightly so the ALL AGRO was crap, when it came out I was an electrician working in London and we had to set up the lights for the launch NOT ONE person liked it, and a Square steering wheel are you kidding, Even the designer would not ride in one as they had made such a mess of his original design.@@UKBarnFinds
Has the channel got a barn find to raffle off for "children in need" ? Thankyou
FSO
mental health issues. 😂
F so awful awful car some people have got more money than sense
Thing is what makes me laugh is the people selling a heap of rust that would never go through an MOT . Especially in the American market .this trend that started and the excuse used for a vehicles bad condition was called PATINA the new buzz word .that to me is like the council letting everything overgrow and calling it wildlife nature 😂😂 there are very few good classic cars out there and a lot of over priced hunks of junk with lipstick on . unfortunately proper restorations are expensive so next time someone tring to sell you a rusty sad excuse American pick up for the centemental value of say 15.000 when in a field in America someone would prb pay you to haul it of there land or buy for 250 bucks people don't fall into the trap the only people making money is the auctioneer and the seller who just suckered you to part with your money .when the fashion ends the patina crazy you will loose a lot of money then you have a major restoration you never get your money back fact
