There’s something about a well-preserved 1980s Vauxhall that really takes us back. And this 1986 Cavalier SRi, finished in its original Astral Silver and Anthracite two-tone paintwork, was a particularly appealing example. Just 48,304 miles showing, three previous owners, original dealer details and the distinctive appearance that made the SRi one of Vauxhall’s most recognisable […]

We’ve watched thousands of cars go through auction halls over the years, but every now and then something arrives that really catches our attention. This 1993 Ford P100 was one of them. Not because it was particularly rare or expensive. But because of the extraordinary noise it made as it drove through Anglia Car Auctions. [&...
There’s something about the MG RV8 that we’ve always liked. Perhaps it’s the familiar MGB-inspired styling. Perhaps it’s the combination of traditional British roadster character and a wonderfully uncomplicated Rover V8. Or perhaps it’s simply that the RV8 represents a particularly interesting chapter in MG’s history. But when this 1993 ...
There was a time when you couldn’t travel very far on British roads without seeing a Ford Sierra. They were everywhere. On driveways. Outside schools. In supermarket car parks. And, of course, filling up the outside lane of the motorway. Company cars, family cars, everyday transport. But when did you last see a Sierra ...
There was a time when Japanese manufacturers were building some extraordinary performance cars. Turbochargers, four-wheel drive, sophisticated engineering and a determination to win on the world’s rally stages. Some became legends. The Subaru Impreza Turbo. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. The Toyota Celica GT-Four. And then there was this. The Mazda 323 GT-R. Remember it? We [&...
We’re constantly being told that the market for older classic cars is changing. Traditional British classics are supposedly falling out of favour, while anything wearing a Ford badge seems to attract increasingly enthusiastic buyers. Especially if it’s a Mk1 Escort. But something happened at Cheffins on Saturday 17 October 2026 that left us scratching our [&...
This Quantum Xtreme auction result left us asking two questions. What exactly is a Quantum Xtreme? And why were so many people bidding on it? Because when this rather unusual-looking little sports car appeared at Anglia Car Auctions, the bidding was already getting lively before the auctioneer even turned his attention to the room. By [&...
Asking prices are one thing, but what are people actually prepared to pay for classic cars? Spend any time browsing classic car adverts and you’ll find some ambitious prices. But it’s when the bidding starts at auction that things can get particularly interesting. We’ve seen immaculate-looking classics struggle to attract buyers, while ...
This Vanden Plas Princess auction result proves that first impressions don’t always tell the whole story. When this rather lovely 1968 Vanden Plas Princess 1300 was called into the auction room at Anglia Car Auctions, things didn’t quite go according to plan. Instead of driving in under its own power, it had to be pushed. [&...
This Porsche Cayman S auction result raises a question that would have sounded rather strange a few years ago. When did Porsches get this cheap? Because we’re not talking about a tired old Porsche 924 that’s been sitting in somebody’s garden for 20 years. This is a 2008 Porsche Cayman S. A proper mid-engined, six-cylinder [&...
