If that CX is a prestige, and it looks like it, then I'd have that every time, but ideally at the XM's price!! :-D

Two Classic Car sales I follow going on tomorrow

Mathewsons at Thornton-le-Dale North Yorks
https://mathewsons.co.uk/auctions/9494- ... d-november
and
Anglia Car Auctions at Kings Lynn. Free hot drinks for Rugby fans before the Sale Starts, and half time bacon sandwiches!
https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/classic ... mber-2019/

One from each just to keep it visual.
From Mathewsons...Now your average old mini is selling well over what I consider to be value for money, but what about this a one owner 1963 Wolseley Hornet. I can't get over the vision of one of my dad's more elderly friends, and his wife who used to pootle about in one. No its a bridge too far for me but nice condition..

and ACA...something yellow and Italian but no room for a Labrador!

"It's a classic!"
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.

1987 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth 7,349 miles from new

So How much did that one fetch? (give yourself 10 points for 5000 either way)
Spoiler: show
https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/classic ... -cosworth/
and no-one wanted this at a £3000-£4000 estimate. It ticks the odd and quirky box for me, bonkers looking rear side windows, and the double aerofoil/spoiler.

Don't think I can claim any points there!! I was 30k out, too many people have too much money these days it would seem. That is one hell of an inheritance out of the blue!! :)

There are also a lot of cars on the sold list like the some of BMW's, Jaguars, which would have cost a fortune new, depreciated like a brick to the no-one wants one stage, or the no one is prepared to pay much for one stage.
Sold for £1820

Sold for £870

The XJS is still unloved £2756

Still hanker after an XJ300/308, but wouldn't risk buying one that cheap at an auction (says he who's bought 2 Cadillacs on eBay) - actually the money would be better spent repairing/restoring the XJR.
Citroens:-
'81 2CV Club :cry:
'05 C15 :!:
'97 Xantia Exclusive estate [-o<
others:-
Jeep XJ Cherokees x 3 :?
'96 Cadillac Eldorado
'99 Cadillac STS :|
& the numerous "abandoned projects" #-o
