I ATTEND A CLASSIC CAR AUCTION IN NORFOLK! ANGLIA CAR AUCTION 

Great videos these Mitch. Just the right amount of information on each car and the price reveal is spot on. You’re onto something. Brilliant

Wow! 80k for clio sport.

Another great content love you doing these auction vids you have them well planned and very informative details, so many surprises with the amount some of these vehicles make as they go through.

I love this quick show and sell format, great stuff.

Love your channel . I have a 53 plate Renault sport Clio 172 Cup she's my pride and joy . Always people come upto me to look at her. Only this morning at asda a guy came upto me saying she looked awesome and would have this over any supercar. I never sell her she go to the grave with me lol

Thanks for doing these videos! Great watching. Really appreciated 😊

Quality video again Mitch, great aerial footage at the start with the drone. The Clio V6 was mint but crazy to think it would be worth £80k! Keep up the great work, much appreciated 👏

Love the way you edit these go over the car then tell us what there expected to bring and then what they bring! Brill well done buddy

Gread video buddy! Enjoy watching nostalgic cars growing up in the 80's

Video really keeps you on your toes especially you showing the prices they went for makes it all the more interesting to watch 👍

First time watcher and really enjoyed it, I wouldn’t mind seeing the entirety of the auction call and bids every now and again 👍🏻

I like the way you presented this video Mitch, seeing cars individually then the price then on to then next one. Nice one mate and have subscribed. Great stuff

Love the aerial footage at the start; all the cars look really cool lined up! 😍

Great vlog , reminds me of the past , love this content , first one of watched . Bring em on , Great job Mitch

Really enjoyed the video man thanks…the blue Mondeo was beautiful.

Something so therapeutic about these videos! Not only were both Fiestas horribly neglected and bodged, the XR2 sounded like a speeded up blacksmith at his anvil. Unusual colour but agreed with u about the 520i Touring. Rather in the same way we view 60s cars, so we view 90s cars, albeit for different reasons. I think they're good ones too, representing in my view, the pinnacle, the zenith, the asymptote, the motherlode, the polestar - the very crux of the matter - of motoring; combining as they generally do many aspects which you would definitely consider plus points - like reliability, good wind noise suppression, accident avoidance/protection, resistance to rust, performance - while not having had every possible contingency engineered into them. I personally do not want the car to steer and brake for me, nor even to maintain its distance behind another motorist up ahead - I never use ordinary cruise control, never mind one which uses radar to actively view ahead. And that's the point - there are now SO many features on a car, even a small one like a Polo, that to even contemplate reading the handbook from cover to cover to get an overview of all the controls and features, would not happen. It would feel like homework, and therefore a chore. I am just not interested in 78 different ways in which the tone, balance, fade, arena and razzle of my stereo adjust. I don't WANT to adjust my steering heft, the stiffness of my dampers or throttle responsiveness. I don't want the car to weigh an extra 2kg to accommodate the motors and sensors and extra wiring necessary for the car to make decisions for me - and then act on my behalf: I have driven dozens of vehicles with auto dip headlamps and none of them ever do it early enough. Even electric seats I find a complete waste of time - and as for electric seatbelt height, steering column reach/rake and display screens, don't get me started. Steering wheel heating and massaging seats feel more kinky than luxurious. In short, much of what has in fact been available (even standard) on some cars for years, is already superfluous to my requirements never mind what is yet to come. That cars are getting bigger and heavier to accommodate it all - ironically to the detriment of economy, emissions, performance and handling - only exacerbates the issues their ever more advanced technologies were designed to tackle: for every pedestrian City-brake saves, another will die because the driver was relying too much on the car to pay attention for them, instead of doing it themselves - plus the fact the braking distances even from 30mph are an extra 6ft on the 2024 model compared to the 1994 model because the car from today weighs half a tonne more. I can't even now remember how many models ago it was that the Polo became bigger than the Mk1 Golf. If I'm really honest I couldn't especially give a stuff about most of the above.... what really bothers me though is that in an effort to keep a lid on the size and weight - not forgetting costs - the componentry on modern cars is being made with less and less margins for failure. Whereas a waterpump, say, used to tell you it was on its way out, now they just go bang. And it doesn't end there because there are so many integrated electronics that I can see a time when you won't he able to change a fuse for a failed foglamp, without having to swap out the car's entire wiring loom..that for me is the key point. Yes, 90s stuff has electronics but not to the extent and (lack of) quality as today. Even really mechanical stuff I don't necessarily feel has got better - it is no accident, I think, that the car still running around today with the verified world record for mileage covered, is a Volvo P1800 from the 1960s. OK, with its more than three million miles, that is not just an impressive automotive feat - you'd need to be a VERY dedicated driver to cover 3 000 000 miles which even doing 60 000 per annum would take 50 years to do. That being said, I just cannot envisage a Mercedes C200 never mind something more downmarket like a Kia Sportage with more than 3mil on the clock in the year 2073. This wasn't meant to be a "bash modern cars" rant, not at all - I accept I am unusual in not wanting all those toys - clearly most do, otherwise manufacturers wouldn't make them. The primary purpose was as a comparison between what cars today have to do compared to what they did 30 years ago. Tbh, although I focused on features and complexity (and the commensurate increased difficulty of maintenance), you could add performance to the list. I know I know that clearly sounds crazy - like the Duchess of Windsor used to say "you can never be too rich or too thin" so, it may be argued, can you never have too much acceleration. In reality it is one of those unanswerable questions isn't it Well, to a point - the answer, obviously is of course yes you can have too much - the laws of biology see to that: acceleration subjects you to a g force and despite notable exceptions, 50g is usually fatal. Accelerating from 0-100mph in 3.3seconds equates to 1.36g - so you can see there is a long, LONG way to go before we get to "too much". That being said 10g will make most people go unconscious - not death, but not very useful for driving either. But even 3g is REALLY uncomfortable. With Tesla Plaids pulling nearly half that, we're really starting to get near the borders. And that's just speeding up. All cars brake (much) quicker than they accelerate so a fast stop from high speed in a Tesla, Ferrari or McLaren isn't much fun. In short, I believe the Plaid isn't the only car in the low 2's 0to60. I know being a passenger is different to driving but my brother's been in one and after only a few minutes said he "felt sick" - and that's from someone who owned a Porsche Panamera Hybrid. We laugh now when we read that when the first trains were tested, there was widespread concern that the human body would just melt at high speed and that women in particular should not go past 50mph in case their womb flew out😂 Predictions about the future tend to age rather badly - look at the way Thunderbirds renders 2065 - Lady Penelope would need a long sit down and a double martini to get over the shock of 2015!!😂 And you know what? We are naturally sentimental - it's the instinct for the familiar - we're safe with what we know and safety equals survival.The more complex life gets, the more people will tend to seek refuge in something they remember from years or decades ago. I think, as well as your cheerful and interesting perspective, that's why I enjoy your channel! 👍

New subscriber. Love the straight forward format of this auction video. Good editing also 👌

stumbled across your channel - love the video - well done !

I was going to ask if you finally got some drone footage in a video and you told us in the end 😂. Love the blue cortina and the windscreen cap of the 100e. Totally agree with you on the white xr2 that engine sounded as rough as the bodywork 😂😂

Really enjoyed this good job Mitch👍 That Xr2 though crazy money! Someone is in for a shock when they have that delivered and get a closer look at it. I think out of the 2 I’d have took a gamble on the black S would be interesting to see what the floor pan looks like under that carpet

Great drone work - adds a nice touch. That XR2 sounded rough as!

Really enjoy this content . Really good format! Subscribed!

Commentary on this video is perfect! Enough info per classic - Subscribed :)

Refreshing to see someone go for the more basic classic! The burgundy Escort was 🔥 my dad owned one just like it.

So pleased I lived my boy racer days 20 years ago. I had two saffs and an ecort cossie plus RS turbos etc. I sold my escort cossie for 8k 😭

I see that blue cavalier when it was being wrapped by one of my customers. Unbelievable clean

Very well done, like your format of a look at the car, the estimate and almost instantly the hammer price, great stuff! Would loved to have had a look at some of the higher spec cars as well, and the what I believe is an Austin Atlantic in blue near the end of the video, remember seeing one decades ago actually on the road and not seen one since! Thanks or this, keep up the great work.

Great coverage very concise and informative.

Many cars not hitting there reserve looking like the classic car market has stalled I saw a video on RU-vid on that black 1.4s fiesta being recovered it’s been sat outside uncovered for a number of years definitely rusty and tarted up for sale,thanks for sharing

Nice Cars and a nice Walk around. Thank you.

Thanks again for a fantastic video Mitch 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

love watching your blogs .

I cannot believe the quality of these cars ❤. I used to be the auctioneer at a house that shall remain untold ( love you bro best years of my life ) even though you thought you were smarter than me xxx. The stuff we used to sell was criminal and most of it not fit for the road. But with that said most of it would be worth millions now 😢. How things change

Another great video. Excellent production. Your auction videos go by so quick, I'd watch them if they where 40-50 mins long.

Thanks for joining us Mitch! Look forward to seeing you again soon.

Hey very good video, looking forward to more, well done!

Enjoying the vids keep them up👍

Great vid/detail.

Those 1.4s are extremely rare. It's much rarer than an XR2. I had one many years ago when I was 18. Loved it and would love another one. Great video.

15:55 that arch looks like it's made of filler Mitch, a good way to tell is run your fingers up the back of the arch, it should be thin , if it's filler it will be thicker , but look at that one from the front and you can see it's not a completely smooth curve and the thickness varies . Thanks for the video again dude 👍👍

Great descriptions as always buddy ..🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍😎 18:34

😊well done mate excellent quality content as usual😊😊 good job

i was at the auction as live locally. Thought it was you when i saw someone hanging around the Fords with a camera. Will come and say "hi" next time. Keep up all the auction content too !!

Cool video. Some surprising prices!

Well presented thanks

Quality video mate. Some tidy old skool cars

Nice presentation well done can’t wait for you to buy a Mini 😊 you know you want one.

Very cool 😎

19:15 used to work on them in college the tutor was a ex ford mechanic and said this was the best car to work on surprise surprise 😅

Good vid. I like the format. Just subbed.

Some of my friends are crying now. I knew 2 guys with a 1.3 Ford Fiesta Supersport. Both got smashed up when worth about £3000. Someone else I knew had a Mk2 RS2000 he sold cheap. Been some great cars over the years. Those Clio V6s seemed expensive at £25k. If we only knew? I would love a really nice Renault 5 GT turbo for £10,000. But I guess I can only dream? I remember us going about town in my mates one in the early 90's and it really was special.

As a motor trade man, I really enjoyed this video, always been curious what these sort of motors are selling for these days etc, thank you 👍

Xr2 crazy money sounded rough. Loved the Alfa 1983

Great Vid Mitch thanks

Great video 👍

Had a double take at that white XR2, it wasn't my old B reg one from the 90's, mine had 4 working cylinders last time I saw it too.

Ford STs are normally Performance Blue

Thanks again fella, enjoyed that as per.

also the 523i with back lights bigger than the 74 model and in 1980 had also a blue metalic with the 535i ,also the clio williams numbered edition,only for 3 monthes, also the Rover 114i for 15 days, had a golf like the golden one but with a diesel engine ,it was bordeux, the fiesta MKIII with two seats diesel (94)air conditioned from factory(i´m going to get it this afternoon it passed the inspection ,but had for 10 years one 1.4S from 88 just like the black one with special pearl white covers on the black iron wheels but outside half was metalic blue and the bottom half was grey kind of rubber paint all original with the two front lights like the XR3i mkII but the escort with a lot of graphics in black a 1.6i, my 70´s and 80´s also a few from the 90´s cars ,the fiesta in white, the XR2 in my country only was sold with the 1.3 engine, no metal was touched by rust in the cars refered but my 94 fiesta some winters when it really rains it feels a bit wet in the front carpet ,maybe the rubber on the windshield at the right down corner, all cars have the steering wheel on the right side or the same as saying ,the left side

Great video, that XR2 price is ridiculous, sounded like a bag of spanners with botched up repairs!

Nice video again

Still absolutely flabbergasted at the £7600 for that XR2 😮😮 haha brilliant content Mitch. Onwards and upwards!!

i hope to get a xr2 when im older hopefully it will happen

Great video brilliant content well done.

On my list of places to visit soon, looking to buy a late Rover Mini

2.0L GL Cortina. beautiful..

yeah, that mk4 escort looks bodged, but rain stops 100% diag the metro GTI was a fit little motor in its day, i used to take our demo out on the evening, but didn't dare leave it outside overnight, gone in 20seconds in 1990's sunderland was our reputation... [i got a job on police recovery, double wages every week, oh happy days...]

Just shows them minis one of the best at keeping there price ,always sought after .

I'm liking the Mondeo ST a lot. I wouldn't mind that at all. £5,600 is a good but for someone.

The Red 5 series are the wheels off a E30 3 series

Great channel 👍🏻

I think whoever bought the XR2 (white) hadn't looked around it lol - great video thank you!

The guy with the mic... isn't that the same guy from top gear at the classic rally car auction? LOL

Loved the camper. I'd definitely pay 15k for that

I am only 30 mins away from the Auction room. Will have to pop down some time. New subscriber and loving the content.👍

Couldn’t believe that Clio v6 went for that price. A few lads I know has a v6 and another has a Renault 5 turbo, be interesting to see how much that rare motor would go for.

Take a magnet with ya next time prob won’t stick to half of them fords 😂😂😂

great place, down road from me 👌🏻

Great video could you include some Land rovers thanks

Someone took a gamble on that white xr2! Sounded like a bag of spanner’s.. i remember when they were £250 cars..

Nice video

What did the porch next to the cortina sell for if it’s none

I had a few of these cars in my youth,they were mostly rubbish drives,wish i still had them in a barn though.

Why’d you not buy the mk4 escort grrrrr 😡 lol 😝 and show me the motorcycles , thanks for bringing us another great auction video Mitch, oh btw what’s happened to the bloopers, have you improved quite a lot lately, lol 😝

The sunbeam is such a rare car

They are BBS wheels 😎

Mitch has a knack for these auctions, they are seriously good. Highlight was the ST200, they were so ugly when they first came out too.

The Williams engine is an F7R

The Cortina could be a cheap daily driver for £5k Low insurance no MOT no VED no ULEZ no sweat :)

Great description You need to get a job with Guy, as a young Brin.

Xr2 e reg all coloured code in white, my first car at 20. My dad sold for 500.00 5years ago, cause of leaky oil valve seals.

The puma is one of a number that I was involved with, imported from Koln. The puma factory was just behind the dealer ship that we collected the cars from, up to 6 at a time. The cars were driven back then sold in the UK with around 250 miles on, at around £2000 under dealer price. Each car was inspected by the DVLA at Ipswich before being registered. Great days!!

Looks like a great day out, going to these auctions? Even just to go view? How much is it to visit? Can you get a coffee and bacon roll?

Do u know of any classic car auctions in south wales ?

A Mondeo ST200 is my dream car.

Omg - that capri was a steal £5900 🤤

Man that BMW is sweeet

Mondeo youl never be away from petrol garage ,heavy motor heavy on fuel .

Been there in January, found it was very fumey and started to feel light headed. what your secret 😂

If only I had the idea in 2006 of selling my 1990 Range Rover Classic Vogue here I could have realised so much more cash. Too late now!!
