You need to check some of your old luminous watches? :-D

Choices, choices :-k

I'll not have the 1952 Morgan Plus 4, which is a shame.
Neither will I have the 1964 Alvis TE21 Saloon,
nor the rather fantastic 1947 Alvis TA14 Barnard Woodie,
and not the 1966 Jaguar E-type Series 1 The One-of-One by Woodham Mortimer, which is a shame as Iain Tyrell has just done a review of that actual car on his Youtube (Tyrell's Classic Workshop) and it's fair to say he was blown away by it.

No, I think I'll settle for the 1965 Fiat 1500 Cabriolet as it looks so pleasing.

Amazing!! I couldn't decide between the Fiat 1500 and the 1947 Alvis but as you've nabbed the Fiat bobins, I'll have the Alvis!! :-D

Not for me! Although there were a number of tasty Minis in the auction, this early 1071 Cooper S immediately stole my heart :D

Here's a sale where I have no trouble at all. It includes a lot which is the big brother of one of my former cars, and I always have wanted one since having to sell mine due to divorce etc etc.. However it will be way out of my reach and I'm sure it may surprise a few!! :-D

My choice:
Spoiler: show
I loved that car!!

Yes it certainly outranks hen's teeth!! Either it has had a lot of remedial work or it was imported from a much warmer climate I would imagine. Either way it will stay on my dreams never to be fulfilled shelf!! :-D

Partly as such an unusual colour, and partly as my first car was one (or rather a 5 door 1.6 CL)

This would be my choice

This is another link to the same sale that is the latest on here. Since posting that link there have been a fair number of additions to the catalogue so I thought it may be worth another scan and possibly a change of choice in some cases? :-D
