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 a 1999 […]

This Ford Puma auction result made us wonder whether one of the best small Fords of the 1990s is still being overlooked. Although, before we get into that, let’s establish something. This is what a Ford Puma should look like. Sorry, Ford. We’re sure the modern Puma has plenty going for it. There’...
This Ford Anglia auction result suggests there is still plenty of demand for a good example of one of Britain’s best-known 1960s classics. But perhaps the important word there is good. We’ve heard plenty of discussion recently about cars from this era becoming harder to sell. The generation that remembers them when they ...
This Toyota Corolla auction result had us wondering whether one-owner provenance still matters when the car itself is far from perfect. Because this wasn’t a GTI. It wasn’t a homologation special. And there was certainly nothing exotic about it. It was a 1990 Toyota Corolla GL four-door saloon. But it had something we’re ...
This Volkswagen Golf GTI auction result came within a split second of being very different. The car was a beautifully presented 1989 Mk2 Golf GTI 16V, finished in Tornado Red and showing just under 40,700 miles. It had only two previous keepers. Its current owner had kept it for 13 years. There was a substantial […]
This Mercedes SL500 auction result provided one of the most entertaining bidding battles of Anglia Car Auctions’ first Marketplace Classics sale. The 1994 R129 arrived with an estimate of just £2,500 to £3,000. Before the auctioneer had even properly opened the bidding to the room, internet bids had already pushed it beyond £4,000. Then two […]
This Morris Marina auction result started for us several weeks before the car actually went under the hammer. Anglia Car Auctions had a stand at this year’s Festival of the Unexceptional and kindly asked UK Barn Finds to fill half of it with a car, so we took along our 1995 Ford Fiesta Si. ACA [&...
This Jaguar S-Type R auction result made me stop and think. Normally, a 2005 saloon isn’t necessarily the sort of car I’d rush over to film at a classic auction. But this isn’t an ordinary S-Type. This is the R. A supercharged 4.2-litre V8 performance saloon with 400bhp, rear-wheel drive and enough pace ...
This Rover 80 auction result left us asking a simple question. Was this a good buy? The 1959 Rover P4 went under the hammer at Anglia Car Auctions with no reserve, and the bidding eventually stopped at £2,600. That seemed like very sensible money for such a substantial old Rover. But there’s a catch. I’ll […]
This Morris Ital auction result might be one of the most gloriously retro things we’ve filmed all year. A 1980 Morris Ital HL. Finished in Russet Brown. With 69,174 miles showing. And, just to add another twist to the story, previously owned by Sarah Crabtree of Bangers & Cash fame. Before the bidding even started […]
