Merlin auction...photos, haul and (some) prices.

Heading to it myself Goochy. I'll try and keep track of a few prices of anything interesting for you.

En route.

Place is mobbed. Nice cars in the parking lots too

Very packed. 10 euros in though

Left hand green Landcruiser. Bidding stopped at 12800.
Convertible Merc bidding stop at 3200. Thought that would get more interest

Not surprising on the rat rod, I would not even consider that car to be road legal.

Mods do delete or merge is ye have to. I figured though that I wouldn't spam the "today I spotted.." thread with show photos and I'd like to keep all of my photos in the one place.

Anyway, it was a good event all things considered. Much, much better organised than the previous auction at the Show Center. The sun played havoc with photos though, so they're no show pieces. There was a great selection there, and a good autojumble. I got a good haul. Did not drive home in anything new though. Actually I had to leave after lot 30..so I only have a small number of final prices noted. The prices I have noted are just what the bidding stopped at btw. Also apologies for my handwriting, I didn't have much to lean on while standing. And also again, my list was outdated by about a week and most of the cars that went through in the first 30 lots weren't actually on it..hence the scrawling on the back.

There was a really good turn out. I would like to see this turned into a more regular thing.

Anyway...I managed to get the four books here for a fiver! And the radio for €20.



A few cars from outside











And going under the hammer...



















To be continued..

Lastly.

Rather than have two threads on the same topic, I've merged them

Thanks for that, not much sold then , we're the lots good quality or average standard with unrealistic expectations?

Well..I was only present for the first 30 lots through the auction. And none of those were without a bid. I'm not sure how things went after that as I had to leave.

If anyone has any prices or comments on other cars do feel free to post below.

Good man! Thanks for the info was curious to see what some of them went for.

No bother. I would have stayed longer to check out the Fuego and a few others but sadly had to dash.

Im sure we will see it on Donedeal for stupid money next week :pac:

Haha, no doubt.

I'm not sure that much of the cars today were particular bargains such that one could buy to flip on, though. €1k for a Saab with 270k miles for example. That said the Xr2i and V reg Corona were quite cheap, if they sold.

Did anything sell ? Did 1996 rolls sell ? Been on donedeal for ages - once belonged to pino harris

The Cortina in the above post sold.

Did MrRolex of this parish not lay claim to owning the Rolls Royce?

Started off with some silly high prices, but not for some cars! Raging I wasn't bidding. W123 230CE went for 1700-1800 iirc, and it was a very nice car. Would have liked that for myself

996 for 10,800 was very good value. Unless it needs an engine

Couldn't stay till the end, how much did the 504 make? That and the Simca 1501 were my favourite cars of the auction. The latter made 2200 which was a bit more than it was for sale for on donedeal a few months ago iirc. Still a bargain for a unique car.

That was the Bentley Turbo R. Nice car. It went for €10k. MrRolex was bragging he was sick of paying the €1809 motor tax on it. Well, surprise, surprise. Last time someone paid the tax on it was 4 years ago. NCT out years too.

Damn the 230CE is NCTd till 10/17 too, someone got a bargain here. Auto too and the most reliable engine of them all. It had a high auction number (93 or something) but it came up early. I'd say a few people interested in it missed it. Buyer is a lucky man

Hmm, I wonder if the owner accepted the bid though? I've never seen velour interior in a w123 before.

The 504 went for 2250. Was a lovely car alright.
Mr Rolex's Bentley sure was a nice car alright.
I stayed till the end and have most of the prices of anyone is looking for anything in particular.
