- Welcome back all,
In this weeks video we head across to LMA to explore their June, classic, retro and performance sale. Entered into the sale were some incredible lots, including many one owner cars with surprisingly low mileage.
I spotted plenty of classic fords but a clean Vauxhall Corsa B caught my attention and I couldn’t believe the originality of the motor. This went for a surprisingly high sum too.
Letchworth Motor Auctions next classic sale - 28th September 2024 - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Thank you for your time and effort you put into thease sales.
The best ever way to show auction cars a quick look round then he actualy shows you the auction results somtime he goes into abit to much detail but still better than any other youtuber doing this . But you will never please everyone
Hi Mitch, for me the Mk1 Cortina was stunning & a bargain. Love the vids 👍
Thanks for showing us around Mitch a lot of really nice cars, the MK 1 Cortina was for nothing providing the under side is just as nice as under the bonnet, thanks again mate much appreciated
I didn't know that they did a 5 door mk 1 Cortina. A lot of these cars brought back happy memories. My friend had a ford capri and was always painful on the neck when sitting in the back because the shape of the roof.
I can't believe the Renault Clio went for £1400 , I never find bargain like that when I go to Auctions 😮
too many blinkered blue oval lovers in attendance to bother looking at another marque of car
Great auction video again . Love the editing again . To many auction vids online that you wait till the end to see the car prices 👌👌👌👌👌
I watched this before but got too busy to comment which I felt so guilty about - but to my shame forgot to nevertheless! Delighted to rectify that now Mitch - you work really hard to bring all us tyre kickers our little browse round some jolly interesting cars without leaving the sofa - and all in such a genial and engaging way! Wish I could do more for you. The GP tells me off for being over weight but the therapist is surprised at my improved mood 😂
From a rough diamond a shiny peach has grown well done young jedi
With the Cortina being a saloon not a hatchback, it's a 4-door not a 5-door. A tailgate counts as a door but a boot lid doesn't.
I came here to say the same thing, it's like people calling a 2 door Mk1 or 2 Escort a 3 door it just isn't it's a 2 door with a boot lid
Great vid, full of info as ever, Mitch, thanks so much
Wow, that little blue Metro GTA, what a bargain 😊
your vids are amazing mitch everything is top notch
nicely done, and very interesting ! Good job.
I absolutely love these cars. I can’t believe how mint the condition is on so many of these old cars. I feel quite nostalgic looking at them, I’d buy the lot!
Great videos Mitch, love your channel mate.
Hi Mitch, i totally agree with you as far as service history goes if the car speaks for itself. Some stunners there pal. Love the cabrio xr3i, love the mk1 fiesta, just a pity about the engine bay. Personally i do believe that an engine bay is the most critical. Top man. 👍👍
Well presented...👍🏴
Thanks for another nice Episode my pick would've been the Escort Cabrio.
Another great presentation 👍
Great channel thanks very much!
Great job Mitch!
Paddy Hopkirk & his famous Mini win in the 64’ Monte Carlo! A great story
With you 100% on those pick of the auction. £12500 for the escort and the Corsa and Fiesta, bargains for what they are. I love a mint, original motor.
I had one them in 90s only had 56k on got for 1100 was gunmetal grey immaculate only needed a tow as had been sat up , XR3I drove many a great one considering we're 1.6 were great cars and handling. 70s 80s top times
Escort cab is a great buy
That capri a 15k car every day of the week... Can't believe it did not reach 15k
A lot of classic car buyers are looking for originality which this car didn't have.
@@paulknight1332 buyers are also looking to buy classic retro cars
@@paulknight1332i agree people want original engines wheels and interior,
If possible, please can you put text overlays of each make and model for the cars you're featuring, would be really helpful. I love your vids mate and this feature would make them even better.
Great video as always. My dream cars are classic ford's and original minis, so alot of the cars were right up my street! But, like you I was very suspicious of the sierra cosworth, ì think that car was hiding a heap of troubles, it could've even been a stolen shell, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole!! Considering the history someone's living in cloud cuckoo land with the asking price, as they're comparing it to better condition sierras with at least some history. I know you can't feature every car but I would've liked a look at the Lancia coupe. Keep up the great work.
Fantastic mate 👏
Canny Auction mate, Escort cabby was a nice thing, I agree the Cossys history would of put people off. I'm keeping my hands in my pockets 🤣 I've got enough!!🤣
Wow change from green to hearing aid beige that fiesta
loved the red escort
Hello Mitch, some great cars there, I would love a go in that old Capri with the V6 Cosworth engine, brilliant in the dry but show it a wet road and it will show you the meaning of fear!!!!! 😁😄😉 Proper fun!
now that's a real Capri, not like the new "Capri"
My 1969 Mk1 Capri was the same, how I didn't kill myself in it as a kid I'll never know.
At 17.55 fiat x19😍
Brilliant Stuff mate. 😀
Great vid ..Ford 1.6 i was mint.
Great job 👏 👍🏻
Thanks Mitch great stuff , I loved that escort estate I’d have paid 5k for it . And the mk1 cortina was gorgeous. Shame the mk1 Capri had been a modified but each to his own it was dead tidy but I’d put that back to original if it was mine …great stuff cheers dude 👍
Loved the metro..
Great video👍🏻
Fans of the cheap and the practical will have appreciated the bargain Clio and the Metro.
Good vid mitch
Metro gti looks lovely 👍👍👍👍👍
[ex. rover tech], that metro GTA is easy to tune up to 104bhp, proper sleeper...
if that mk3 escort wasn't a hairdresser's version, i would of had it...
keep it up young man
Green to beige!!😮
A lot of modern classics not meeting their reserve at present auctions
Interesting
wonder how much the blue honda cub went for to the right of the auction bench ???
Thanks..another interesting video. 👍🏻
The Auction fees seem high?
I would have loved you to look at the Reliant Scimitar (red) in the video, you don't seem to like them!
Apologies, I will try and find one at an upcoming auction 👍🏻
I use to have them wheel trims on my e reg escort
There's a blue mk2 sitting unused where I live. Might make me a good investment
Union Jack 👍
Cortinas, Escorts, Capris...had them all in New Zealand. Why the Hell anyone would consider them at all worthwhile is beyond me....
Believe beetles were cable op clutch so master cylinder would be brakes
Escort
. the dream
All that time effort and money on the Subaru and lord knows what tyres on it!! lol
Is it next to aldis?
What happend to the Panther, probably the most interesting car there which you totally ignored!
The fiesta do you know what the GL stands for ???
Grand Luxe
@@billywhizz98 very good what is GLS
@@samboyle4779 Grand Luxe Stupid?
Sedan
Goes Lovely 😂
If you're using words like automatic, extensive etc it's "an" not "a" before them
Once I see an auto box in some of these classics (like that Mini) I would lose interest, that's the reason it didn't make it's money I believe.
🍀🇮🇪🍀👍✌️✌️
Can I just be pedantic and ask about your low mileage hero comments, high mileage hero because plodded on after immense use yes, but how does one become a hero after no use😅
sierra cosworth dodgy history lol Frankenstein car and its been to ireland !
The cosworth badge on the orange Capri raised concerns…then you opened the bonnet and confirmed it….omg what a monstrosity 🤣🤣 anymore else noticed it isn’t a Cosworth?… lol very poor taste indeed
it's the 2.9 V6 24V Cosworth engine that was the top Scorpio engine, lesser known than the 2.0 inline 4 16V turbo YB engine from the Sierra RS Cosworth.
Union Jack 👍
