24/09/2014 Brightwells Auction, retro cars & Mazda 1800 SVA

[shortie126]

This month there are some really interesting classic and retro cars and bikes for auction at Brightwells in Herefordshire including the Mazda 1800 SVA Bertone that was at the Retro Rides Gathering this year.
Below are a couple of links. I reckon it makes interesting viewing as there is quite a diverse range available

Blimey, t here are some nice motors in that auction.

Pity the 124 coupe has had a colour change. I suspect there's a world of pain under that paint. Love the Zimp. 323 4x4 Turbo is a new one on me - looks superb! The SD1 is a peach...Magnum estate.... I'm going to have to sit down for a bit

I agree. I have two! A green 124 Sport Coupe too that somehow just didn't rust and a white one that needs some work. I think the CC coupes are stunning cars. Very Dino looking at the front with a bombproof Lampredi Twin Cam! A rear wheel drive that had similarities to Betas and Fulvias with a Stratos clocks.
The Citroen SM is just so wrong it is awesome. It will be interesting to see what they make.

I've been planning to go down for two of the cars; the 323 turbo and the Magnum estate. Fingers crossed they're decent, as it's a bit of a hike cross country for me!

The Mangnum was at the last auction. Looked pretty tidy, but I didn't look too deeply.


I'll be there as always.

Cheers. I`m guessing it didn`t hit the reserve last time?

I`ve not been to Brightwells for a while, as it`s a pig of a boring journey for me. I normally stick to H&H in Buxton, or even Anglia.

Might even bump into you there........

Yes it sold for £3600 hammer price last time. So they're obviously looking to move it on again, but sure the estimate is lower this time.

£5200 for the 323 4x4 turbo; estimate of £2000-£3000! A few people wanted that one!

The Talbot Lago looks like a bit if a steal. Very stylish looking thing.
