1994 Nissan Cedric show car - on auction this weekend BTW

[akku]

In the classic car sale at East Anglia Car Auctions in their sale 27th 28th January '24 is this '94 Nissan Cedric, imported in 2005 as a "show car". Wonder if the mods were done in Japan or over here?

The estimate looks low to me for these, at least as stock, make good money.

There are a bunch of other really interesting looking cars on this sale as well.

That's hideous, which is a shame as the interior, neon strips aside, looks like a great place to be, wafting along the highways. 

This is a bit of lovely though, recent and decent MOT too ...

I must be very out of touch with car prices. £4-6K for a Omega when there's a Fiat 130 Coupe for £5-7K sounds mental.

Also that Cedric is definitely awful. On paper it's all the right bits to be awesome, but none of them are right.

See a lot of ACA classics with "come get me" estimates that do sell for significantly over estimate(there was a 40s Dodge that looked cheap for what it was and did beat it's estimate by nearly double).

As for the Cedric, lose the graphics and the neons and I think it would appear a much better car. Stuff like graphics can be such a personal taste it can really impact desirability from my perspective.

I'd definitely have the w123 over the Cedric even without the mods, but each to his own.

Oh yeah the estimates are interesting. I have seen stuff not even make the low estimate and some stuff go double or more. Some auctioneers use the estimate to indicate where the reserve is - if there is one. Opening bid is also indicative.

That Omega made me scratch my chin also. Omegas are the sort of car you see one for £900 and then another at £4995 and think "I don't see a lot of difference in those two" and wonder if either of them ever sold.... I kinda like Omegas but I wouldn't pay proper money for one.

Agreed on the Cedric, not my bag, but if bought cheap it could be made more my thing.

This is hideous but could be made so much better so easily... Bidding finger is ready.

[akku]

I wonder if someone typo'd the Omega estimate as bidding has opened at £300. Opening bid is usually like 75% of low estimate.

I'm registered with them as I have bought from their automobilia sales before. Theres a fantastic Humber Super Snipe in the listings for this weekend which I am very tempted by. Ihave actually lodged the bidding deposit but I am not sure I will make the bid.

£3.5k ... If those triangles are vinyl could be a bargain. Got the early 2000's VIP style about it.

I reckon they are vinyl as they weren't on it in this pic by Spottedlaurel from a while back on flickr...

Blimey, the diesel Omega made £3888

That cedric was for sale outside Atlantic trading for weeks on side of A47 I think with just straight paint in a different colour would make it look so much better.

These were mine in 2018. I bought it for spares for my hks tuned gloria. As stated these look much better in 1 colour.
