Well, the only one that even slightly twitched my interest was lot 1, the Porsche Carrera.

A more varied selection for your delectation this week but they are more high end than not! I'm torn between two examples of cars I have owned and trying to make my mind up!! :-D

I have had a mental wrangle over which of these to pick, both being the same model, year and colours as the ones I had: :-D

So I decided the only sensible thing to do was to pick a different car altogether which I did used to want, so why not fulfill that empty space in my car history :-D

I'd have thought the Ferguson tractor would be more your thing, Jim. Not too fast, simple mechanicals, and plenty of fresh air :lol:

The 29 Lea Francis looks like a nice toy Mick, might have bought that in my earlier years, too old now. :(

Yes I quite like that too Gibbo, but for me it would have to be the Sunbeam Talbot simply because I'll never be able to afford an E Type and with a change of emblem on top of the radiator that bonnet might just fool me into thinking I had!! :-D

The S2000 for me, please. My mate's got one so we could both grumble about how little range there is in the petrol tank and how damned expensive they are to tax :lol:
