	I looked through the lots yesterday and saw the Silver Spirit with no reserve. I think it is best that I don't register or watch the auction!

	Never mind the Ami, there's an Atlantic with no reserve. I'd love an Atlantic some day, even though they're apparently quite dreadful.

	I imagine they're a lot like a Somerset, just quicker and weirder looking.

Probably although I'm not sure about the quicker bit - certainly weirder looking and that's just dam fine with me has I appreciate anything that's non mainstream (much like your good self)

	I bid the Jowett Bradford to £5k (plus premium) then let it go - the engine is an unknown quantity and could easily swallow £2k of expense - add in anything else + new battery / 5 new tyres and you are at the point at working for nothing if you want to retail it - some private bidder / purchaser may well have got lucky - the engine may run sweetly with a little recommissioning and with the tyres plus other odds may end up with nice presentable example of the marque for £7k and a few weekends work - potentially a new member & Jowett convert for the club - Here's hoping NB - Sold price including premium was £6160 (vat gets added to the premium)

	Those looked like pretty strong prices - the Woody Peugeot looked like value for money - the Ami! That’s loads more than I would have guessed at.

	Are Isabella coupes really worth that much?! Might have to reconsider that as a ‘cheap’ unique motor.

I've flagged up stuff with this vendor before as he has some really interesting cars and not top dollar. He's got a Chrysler New Yorker on his stock currently which I'm rather drawn to. www.ebay.co.uk/sch/hill_farm_automotives/m.html?item=333615760013
