Fiat 850 Coupe - drove Melbourne to Sydney and return in mine many moons ago. What a car, an acquired taste. And of course so many other wonderful motors as well.
That Roadmaster is achingly beautiful, I'm a real fan of that period of American cars, kind of a hang over of the art deco period and a lot of the designs are stunning.
I love that you gave the mini Range Rover a proper look over, too many RU-vidrs would have walked straight past such a novelty. Keep doing your thing Jonny, really enjoy the diversity of your channel and the Smith & Sniff podcast has me in tears every week!
I love it when Harry does these Auction walk rounds on his channel. Now there is one from Jonny too. Great video. Always makes we wish i had more money.
that granada coupe is seriously cool! a pals dad one in the 70s .. he was a dentist.. i looked down on it because dad had a staaaaaaaaggggh… more fool me😊👏doesn’t need an MOT loved the way you looked at all the right old rubbish!👌👏that Buick is epic
Great show as usual Jonny. I own a mk1 granada ( consul ) and its the oldest one left being registered on the 7th of April 1972. The second day you could could buy them in the uk!
That Marina Estate is a perfect sleeper project for 10 years time when the Allegro is finished. 😉 It’s totally you. Nice Rover V8 under the Bonnet with a couple of Turbos. Get a bid in. Can store it at mine if you need. 👍💪
Well... What a treat! The Panda 30 is an absolute hoot. In town it is NOT slow. It weighs nothing... Maybe less. We didn't have it in the UK, but in Italy it was everywhere.... The early interiors were insane in a 2cv way.... Just a buzz-box of giggles. Any early Panda is great.... Regardless of motor. Also... You are right about the 850 coupé. An Italian Sunbeam Stiletto, but prettier. Excellent little tour of a hall of wonders. Bravo!
gotta say Johnny, i recently started watching your videos, and i have been enjoying them a whole lot. The way you talk about cars and the sound of your voice when you do so feels to me like walking with my dad to old Volvo's and listening him talk about how he used to own a 940 Limited Edition 2.3 LPT and stuff. Keep them videos coming, i am really enjoying them alot.
Jonny,mate this is your best work ,lately ive been in a emotional hole ,i dont know why but ive been in a terribly bloody sad state ,i loved watching this episode i laughed out loud at some of the car intros ,which felt so damm good ,thankyou
zombie ..hold on there lad every day it gets better really ,stay good don't do ANYTHING stupid!!!!! call your somebody...cousin who ever just DON'T do any thing stupid ..I wish I could give you my telephone number here but that would be stupid write back to me let's chat and talk football/soccer..take care lad
And go for a good long walk outdoors mate, out in nature. Disconnect for a bit, listen to some music you love as well. Perspective is hard to find sometimes but always so important.
Hey! Hands off the Buick Woody, I want it badly. In truth it’s come about two years too early for me but what a great car. Watching your auction previews I’m torn. On the one hand they’re great to watch, you’re definitely the best presenter doing this kind of thing, followed closely by Chris Harris. On the other hand you’re too good at this, you make me want everything you talk about. P.S. thanks for including the Panda.
I've watched many auction videos and want to give a big shout out to whoever edited this video (and your others), great shots of each car not just a quick pan over.
Hi Jonny. If I had money to spare, I'd be all over the mk1 Cortina estate! I used to camp in mine (6'3" long flat floor with the rear seats folded flat). It was running a 1700cc x-flow & lowered 5" on 7x13" Alleycats. Rot got the better of it unfortunately. Cheers. Leigh. PS: that stunning little Starlet has been on the go for years & it still looks the business!
Jonny is such a pro, not only can he battle through a TVR barn find with a train waiting to leave the station but he can keep going through auction lots with no real clue that he ate a massive baguette half way through and is a bit sleepy.
I think that was a spot on review. Contrary to other comments I loved the cars chosen and it is a nice change from other auction reviews that you gave some of the rare underdogs their time in the spot light.
I remember seeing racing pumas by the sackful in the car supermarkets in west London back in the early 2000s. Racing Pumas and Clio V6s, tons of them. The dealers couldn’t sell them so they were all shipped out to supermarkets. I picked up a 306 GTi6 for £7k during that search. Happy days!
That Irish Cossie was on one of those "win a car" sites twice recently so either the cash alternative was brilliant or there is something seriously wrong with it! Only remember it as they made a point of it being a low mileage Irish import.
I imagine it's probably people who need the cash equivalent. I expect people who enter those competitions aren't necessarily really into the cars they could win, but more their resale value
Jonny, should have just been with me this afternoon at Gateway vintage car auction house/showroom in New Braunfels, TX. They had a bunch of interesting cars. I saw an early ‘40s Pontiac with original interior for sale very reasonably, Studabaker Avanti in nice condition, dozens of American hot rods, 3 MGB’s from unfortunate years, several MG T series cars for great prices, a VW Van in an ugly green, Sunbeam Alpine for a reasonable price, a bunch of cars for auction.
@@spongebobsquaretits No, and I'm struggling to recall what it did have. I had four different Granadas, one after the other. I think it maybe had a blue vinyl roof, but it was a long time ago. I do remember super-comfy blue seats. It was a real eye-catcher, and pretty unusual, even at the time.
Looks like a great auction. It's time to look in the background of the video to try and spot which car Jonny didn't talk about because he doesn't want to be outbid on it. I think it's probably the Allegro estate.
I'd take that 1970, looks like, red MGB. It's nostalgic for me because it was my first car and it's just a fun little car. Great quirky collection of cars!
Remembered you from when i was younger watching Fifth Gear in Australia, glad i found your channel. Turned into one of my favorite channels within a month and have watched almost every video. Absolute legend Jonny
Another great video Jonny. Please save that Granada from the oval track and do an update 🤞 I grew up in granadas. Just love that coupé. It's so sexy. If I was rich and had a barn it'd be straight in there to be restored and driven😢 also, I love that Cambridge. I grew up in Morris Oxfords my dad's looking down on this with a big smile, I think there was even on an Allegro estate, I got thrown out the side of one of them😮😂
If you can't make the sale in person don’t worry, there are lots of options available; All lots are viewable on the CCA website www.classiccarsauctions.co.uk and it will be LIVE streamed on their RU-vid channel and website, where you can also bid live. Phone bidding and commission bids are also available - you can find out more on their website www.classiccarauctions.co.uk
I always thought that all those German built Granadas were called Taunus… But it’s a bit before my time and there weren’t many around in Northern Netherlands when I was young. I mostly know them from some Suske en Wiske comic 😂
If I brought that micro Range Rover home, I know what my wife would say. "That's ace, can I have a go, find another one so we can race them in the garden"...
Love the Signal Amber Mk 2 Mexico and the Signal Yellow Mk 2 RS2. Had a red Mk2 Mexico back in 79-81 as I couldn't afford an Mk2 RS2. Would probably go for the RS2 now. Too costly now to buy one as well🙄
I soooo want that Ford. Left hand drive would be perfect back here in the Netherlands. Great video Jonny. Again. Greetings from the low countries ;) Edit: did I see a 300ZX near the end of the video? Teenage dreams right there brother!! Edit 2: yeah. Starlet all the way haha
Thank you for looking at the Range Rover Junior, we bought an identical example from Harrods in 1988 new for £5,000. I sold a Green 1949 Buick Roadmaster saloon a few years ago, very unique.
@@TheLateBrakeShow Yes, my parents bought it new in 1988, I would have preferred Green but they thought Red was better to be seen on the farm, the registration was OTL 88, we sold it via a Lincolnshire Main LR dealer in 1995 and I bought a 1977 Series 3 with half the proceeds, NBE 728R, would love to find both and buy them back. May see you on Sunday at a event in Lincolnshire, will bring some photographs.
Nice video Jonny. Those side ports on the Buick woodie are known as Venti-ports (at least in America). The Roadmaster was given 4 Venti-ports, and the lesser models only 3 so someone in the know would be able to see right away if it was a top of the line model.
Had a Starlet like that one you showed here. Baby blue, with hints of orange........ It was great. It got sold to someone who restored it and I believe put a 4AGE in it
Like @oliverderwen, I also own a MK1 Granada, but mine is a 1977 Ghia, 3.0 V6. Registered on 1st August 1977, just a month before the MK2's were available. The green LHD one in the video is a V6, but it will be the 2.6 cologne engine version that were standard on European spec cars, rather than the boat anchor, Essex V6 that were available in the UK. The only coupe version available to UK buyers was the 3.0 Ghia model, GL and L spec cars were a European thing, as well as the "Coke Bottle" version of the coupe (2 versions of the coupe were built, we only got one ☹ ). The European market also got a 2 door saloon. Dashboards cracking is not usually a thing on MK1 Granadas though, that was the usual reserve of the MK2 🤣
@@TheLateBrakeShow Personally, I don't understand the desire for executive cars like the Granada to have manual gearboxes.... My dad was a chauffeur, and had MK1's for work as well as having his own back in 1976, they were designed to "waft"..... I would never contemplate putting a manual in my MK1, just as I would never put one in my S Class.... I'll leave that waggly stick stuff to my 21 year old son and his Astra turbo racing thing... 🤣🤣
Granada Coupe is nice. wheels are from a mk2 by the look of them. fairly sure all UK sold cars were ghia spec, or ive never come across one, although i have driven them. also not all RS 2000s had the 'droop snoot' (although id guess 99% of them do) and thank GOD when you were at the Morris oxford thing, you went PAST that Marina Estate
