    Nice looking cars but the prices are in cloud cuckoo land. €70k for a TVR Griffith (10 years in Ireland) that hasn't had a valid NCT for many years? Don't make me laugh. These go in the UK for about £15k-£25k with test...

    I agree...silly estimates...with the exception of the Fordson P6 tractor..it seems undervalued for a restored example on an original 'ZR' Wexford plate.

    I thought the same. It'd be a steal at that money.

    I like the 928 especially because it's manual

    Sure, manuals are a lot rarer. Again, the estimate is completely over the top though...

    And 20% commission plus VAT on the commission! To be honest the estimates
    On everything in the auction are very optimistic , the cars seem good but time will tell I suppose if they reach anything near the guide prices

    Looks like it was a typo. Gone to 10,000 to 15,000 now :pac:

    According to the Irish Times auction results, none of them sold.

    Not surprising given the silly estimates / reserves :rolleyes:

    Think the 928 and another couple of cars were owned by a local lad so he hadn't got far to at least!
