This Ford Prefect auction result left me asking one very simple question. Why didn’t I bid on it? This charming 1958 Ford Prefect came to Anglia Car Auctions with no reserve after its late owner had spent an extraordinary 22 years restoring it. By the time the car finally returned to the road in 2024, […]

This Daihatsu Hi-Jet auction result genuinely surprised us. Not because we didn’t like it. Quite the opposite. We absolutely loved this tiny Japanese 4×4 when we spotted it at Anglia Car Auctions. But with a £9,000 to £11,000 estimate, we wondered whether its sheer quirkiness might make it a difficult thing to value. We were […]
Three of the garage-find classics we’ve been following went under the hammer at Reeman Dansie today — and one of the results surprised us more than the others. The 1963 Austin Mini Cooper 997cc, 1973 Renault 15 TS and 1981 Ford Cortina 2.3 GL V6 had all appeared on UK Barn Finds in the run-up […]
The Morris Marina has spent decades as one of Britain’s favourite automotive punchlines. But perhaps it’s time we gave it a break. This remarkably smart 1972 Morris Marina 1.3 SDL Coupé recently went under the hammer at Anglia Car Auctions, where plenty of online bidders seemed keen to take it home. Watching the bidding left [&...
This Citroën BX GTi 16V auction result is one for those who know just how special the quickest versions of the BX could be. To plenty of people, it’s simply an old Citroën. To others, those three little characters – 16V – make a very big difference. This beautifully presented 1990 Phase 2 example went […]
This 1962 Austin Mini auction result shows that early Minis don’t need Cooper badges to get bidders interested. This beautifully presented Austin Mini Super De Luxe arrived at Anglia Car Auctions with a £4,000 to £6,000 estimate. Its Heritage Certificate confirmed its original specification, the V5C recorded just one former keeper and it had undergone […]
This Ford Sierra XR4i auction result had just about everything you could want from a live classic car auction. A desirable 1980s fast Ford. One registered keeper from new. Bidders in the room, on the telephone and online. And one internet bidder who waited until almost the last possible moment to make their move. ...
This Ford Escort Estate auction result looked fairly predictable before the bidding had even started. Or at least I thought it did. This 1972 Ford Escort 1300 Estate arrived at Anglia Car Auctions with an estimate of £4,000 to £6,000. Looking at the car and its history, my immediate reaction was: “Surely this one is […]
This MGB Roadster auction result rather proved that we weren’t the only ones who thought Anglia Car Auctions’ guide price looked tempting. When this 1972 MGB Roadster came up for auction, it carried an estimate of just £3,000 to £5,000. Before the bidding had even started, I suggested it could be the best buy of […]
This Mini Cooper S auction result is certainly one of the more extraordinary we’ve watched this year. We were at CarFest at the famous Silverstone circuit on Saturday, filming cars going under the hammer with Classic Car Auctions, part of Iconic Auctioneers. Among them was this rather special 1997 Mini Cooper S. It might look [&...
