    Really enjoyed that. The Y plate Fiesta made me smile. I used to buy and sell cars from my house back in the early 90’s and Fiestas were always great sellers - I would hope to pay £500 for a car around this age and sell it for £999. You would nearly always have to do a bit of paintwork before selling, which would cost around £80-100…how times have changed!

      When I passed my driving test in 1994 at 17 years of age, I really wanted a silver mk 1 fiesta 1.3 super sport which were going for around £900 then, but ended up with a 1981 dark blue Chevette ES edition for £225 as I really wanted to be on the road driving around and it would have taken me a long time more saving up for the super sport

      The Big question is though, did it have a passenger side wing mirror too?

    another great video mitch.... If sellers want to really sell. Their cars, put low reserves or no reserve on their car... And it sells... Most prices are too high in this auction

      If it still had the RS1600 spec it would be £60,000+. Basil Green really messed up with that one, but the Mustang engined Capri's were in another league.

    Absolutely stupid estimates and reserve prices. Auction houses are their own worse enemies They are chasing sale commission money so are pushing sellers to set these ridiculous figures.

    • @wbsons9956
      @wbsons9956 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Reserve prices are set by the vendor with advice from us. No auction house in the land would push a vendor to increase a reserve price.
      The lower the reserve the more attractive the guide which in turn tends to mean more attention from buyers and a stronger sale result.

    That Escort isn't going to get finished if you keep bunking off to car sales, nice cars for sale. Prices certainly have tanked, loved the capri v6, the auto box probably held it back, but the south African escort was a surprise not selling.

    Great vid mate! I missed this one....a week in Magaluf was more tempting ☀️😁 there were a few cars there from the previous auction, think some sellers have unbelievably high expectations of what their vehicles are worth in the real world! Always a good selection at WB and Sons though! Might catch you December 👍

    Cheers Mitch thanks for taking us on the trip, I would love a nice clean Zephyr two tone blue and white with a nice set of mini lights, good to see all the different cars at the auction obviously you can't show them all looked like they were short of buyers, that Pirana should have sold for big money that was a real collectors car, I wounder what happened to all the BDA's they took out of them they would have been worth having,

    Loved the Fiat. Not so much love for the Mk3/Mk4/Mk5 Escorts, I thought they were rubbish at the time they were new (I'm that old), and even worse now.
    Mk1 & Mk2 Escorts were what I grew up on.

    Wb auctions arent even on my radar so they need to advertise better and use social media.
    In line with other auctions reseves should be set low to get interest, as someone who has tried to sell a quantity of classic stuff lately the market is slow to dead and i doubt it will pick up to the heights of last few years.
    Auctions need to adjust their reserves to sell cars and tell owners they are dreaming and in fantasy land
    No good having cars unsold it doesn't pay bills

    classic cars dont seem to be making the money they used to is that because of the new rules on classic cars and if you declare its been welded thats classed as a modification and then has to have mot or is that lies

    • @wbsons9956
      @wbsons9956 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      It’s not quite as drastic as a welding. If the car has had substantial changes I.E a new chassis, an engine swap or how the vehicle works is changed then an MOT on a 40+ year car is required.
