That is interesting, especially considering the Mercedes results in swvo auction at the end of January.

I'm itching to buy a new toy and auctions like these are very attractive, look to have some great metal there...

For me it was interesting to see that most of the cars failed to reach their estimate, quite a few cars didn't sell and, of those that did achieve estimate they were still towards the bottom end.

I had a Mreg Capri 1300 Xl in stardust silver back in the 70s. That white one has the wrong wheels on. Would love to have a drive of one again, loved mine even though there was more pull in a witch's tit in it.

My first car was an 87/D Opel Manta 2.0 GTE Exclusive.

I quite fancy having another drive of one but I can well imagine it will be a disappointment.

Reminds me of my trip to a classic auction in 2012 http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/general-discussion/129294-my-trip-barons-classic-car-auction.html
I wrote then "The Ferrari 308 was absolutely lovely and with a guide price of £13-£15K I was seriously considering it. The hammer price of £22K + premium didn’t look such good value, however."
I actually bid £18k on it but thought it was too much.:fail
What's a nice 308 worth now? £80k-£100k

The 220s that got to the low £40ks is currently for sale for £100k

Are we due a classic car price correction?

I like a lot of the cars on there - including the Volvo V90 and white Daimler Sovereign.

I've found my favourite Daimler Sovereign again albeit slightly more than £6.5k.

I think we might be, a sense a little pessimism in the air generally
