Classic car show

[PHILIP BAXTER]

Hi all, I have just got home from the Classic Car show at the N.E.C. As mentioned on other threads, there were a couple of Zeds up for sale. A silver 2.8 with a hardtop was priced just under £10,000, and a 3.0i up for just under £14,000. Nice prices if you can get them. I watched the auction with interest,as the Z3M coupe went under the hammer, going for a whopping £52,000. WOW !!!!

Wow, that makes your eyes water Philip. Look very nice in the pictures though.

That's a shed load of cash.
What did you think of the show

 

[PHILIP BAXTER]

I really enjoyed it. It took me back to my youth, seeing the Capri's, Cortina's and the Jensens I could never afford.

I was talking to my brother tonight about his mk1 Cortina and how I wish I had some where to keep it for the last 40yrs.
It was just an old car then and today it would have been a classic. If only

I bet my brother wished he kept his Capri Brooklyn that was a really nice car of his.

The mk1 Cortina was my first car, and I virtually gave it away. If only we knew then what we know now.... My mk1 Capri is one my favourite cars i've owned, even though the offside wing was mostly newspaper and filler

My late brother Martin's first car was a MK1 GT 5 door Cortina in Monaco Red and reg. no. 8910 VT. What memories.

I'm looking at this http://www.manx.net/classifieds/Motors/cars/advert/785211/pontiac-fiero

Not so sure if it's worth a punt.

I still think car prices are being made up and it's a huge conspiracy. Especially at auctions.

My friend was at the NEC and he said there was a private dealer there with a Red 1.9 with 49k on the clock with £8,995 in the window with a sold sign underneath it?

Have a friend had two of them. Both caught fire and burned, seems to happen to them all eventually! JIM

I'm interested to know what he means by "private dealer"

Either someone is a dealer, or they're a private individual selling their own car.

Unscrupulous dealers will pose as private sellers to get out of their obligations as a dealer, i.e. the sales of goods act.
