A couple of days late with this week's auction as I was waiting for entries to close :-D :

Asking me what I'd choose from that little lot is a bit like asking the Pope what religion he follows...

Apart from that obvious one my heart says the little yellow Yamaha FS1E 💛 I always wanted one when I turned 16 but alas, my wish and dream was never fulfilled :cry:

Interesting to see it might go for about what my obvious first choice might :shock:

I forgot to say what my choice would be. This is where I regret making it one choice from all but so be it. There are a fair few in there that I would enjoy owning but due to my own rule I will select the Honda Goldwing as the one for me:

OK, well, the one I would choose is... the entire catalogue (and then weed out a few)!

Tough choice.

I'd started with either of the Sunbeam Alpines as my mother used to work for the makers of them.... but one is quite un-original, and the other is in need of some work - so no to them.
The Merc Pagoda ? Yes but no as it's been rally prepped and I've no real need for that.
The Alfa 2000 Spider looks good and could be a contender.
But providing it doesn't have any hidden issues, I think I'll settle for this :)

It has been a couple of weeks without a worthwhile catalogue but just to keep it ticking over make your choice from this one: :-D

I was going to say the Supra but it has a body kit on it which suggests a boy racer ragged the hell out of it. So I finally settled on something I would never be seen on, a motorbike, the James bike with the 'killer' number plate on the front end. I wouldn't restore it either, Waxoyl it, that's it.

I would not go for the Bentley (my Great Uncle Jim was less than complementary about Bentleys), but I WOULD have the Alvis.

It would be the registration number F1 ABD for me, the closest I'll ever get to driving an F1 car!! :-D

Did you see the Supra had only done 189,000 miles :shock:
