From the seller: “Very rare 1959 Reliant Regal mark 5 saloon in nice condition throughout. Restored approx 2010 and displayed at the Bubblecar museum for a few years. Good chassis and very respectable classic car.Interior very nice and more photos at the weekend. Motor turns over with the key nicely but has poor spark which I will try to look at. It was driven into a warm barn nearly 5 years ago and rescued a month ago. I have the full V5c log book here and some nice display items for the classic car shows. It’s a lovely looking car that’s nearly 65 years old and won’t take long to get it back on the rally scene. It’s historic taxation class so tax and mot not required”

This Peugeot 206 GTI auction result started with a very simple question. How much do you think this will sell for? Because this wasn’t an immaculate, low-mileage collector’s car. It wasn’t the later GTI 180. And it wasn’t being presented as something you could necessarily jump straight into and drive home. This was ...
