Love these video.. show car then sale price not 30 mins showing the car then 20 mins of auction of each cat first, he gets to the point if we wanted to watch the massive detail we would go to the auction not watch a video after the auction is over .please keep the videos like this then im a subscriber
Good. Prices need to fall. I do not care if that means the price of my classic goes down as things are daft since convid. It will bring some happy wheeler dealering back as we enjoyed a decade ago.
Cracking video its a bit strange seeing some cars we drove many years ago have become classics now and sell for more than we paid when we originally drove them. Yes the xr3i and the capri
Well put together show and I apprecite the audience probably might favour 80's 90's cars but the Morris 8 would have pricked my attention. Is there room for a few older cars?
Great video, I've had 4 volvo 1800s back in the day, they were only a few hundred quid then, that one was a 1800S with the 2 litre engine, only the early ones are called p1800 by the way, I was looking at the mgb there with 23k spent on it, it did 9250 I think.
@@ianmontgomery7534 nearly, p1800 were jensen built, production moved to Sweden and they were then called just 1800 S, s was for Sweden not for sports, but everyone calls them p1800, s these days.
Car SOS one was older and had the quad headlamps, same colour though. From memory I think the SOS one had been converted from lhd to rhd, but may be wrong.
@@oscarsgarage447 It was the Sierra XR4i and 2.0iS for me. 4x4 Ghia Estate and the XR4x4 were also quite appealing. Maybe even the 4x4 Scorpio Executive if I was in the wafty cigar-smoking mood and, of course, the earlier Mk2 Granada 2.8i Ghia X and 2.8 Injection. Oddly, I found the Mk2 Fiesta 1.4S quite intriguing, more so than the XR2.
Classics have been on thin ice for a while. Much of the problem as I see it is (as usual) because of government meddling and the eco nonsense. I reckon the peak car to buy would be high end stuff without hybrid clutter, no lane assist and the like and if possible pre GPF (exhaust filter). Still 'Euro 6" but minimal tech clutter to cause problems a few years later.
@@oscarsgarage447 back in the day ( 80s, 90s) that road was the place to be . Cinemas and an Ice rink. The road doubled back on itself so you could keep going around and around
I spend quite a bit of time on the Car and Classic site, watching what various cars make, and they nealy always seem to go for higher prices on there. Anyone any ideas why?
Maybe its the slower nature of the sale? More time to consider putting in another bid, whereas the live auction its all over very quickly. Also need to bear in mind how many of those on line type auctions actually complete without any problems? From my experience you do get a number not complete as either due to high bidder just not showing up or haggling on viewing.
Difficult one that. It did look really good, but would be a let down when you opened the bonnet. I did some research and apparently if you fitted a Jag straight 6 the weight of it caused significant understeer!
The Challenger was a more authentic kit with the Jag running gear option. The Wildcat was a budget option with Ford running gear. The biggest issue on the Wildcat for me was the small and often fake spoked wheels that most were fitted with.
As a classic car owner and enthusiast I cant see any future for them in the perfect storm of lack of factory product support in the form of quality parts, 21st century fuel costs at 20th century consumption, and a clear political agenda dedicated to not just their removal from the roads but all cars except for the extremely rich.
10 - 12K estimate !!!!!!!!!!!! for a P1800 which looking at the photos (can't see under etc) on the surface is quite good????! maybe 7 year ago! "....looked at prices.." where ? obvious reserve would be top teens - low 20s! fishy.
That fake jag might look the part but a ford pinto 😂🤣 wants taking out and put a v6 or v8 in at least would sound like a jag then buy was still pricey i see fords are still selling strong as normal
Oscars Garage is fast becoming my favourite no nonsense channel. Great job as always. 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍 makes all the effort worthwhile ☺
@@oscarsgarage447
Pity u missed that Lotus Elan and also that Lotus 7
Good vid though
Nice format Trev. Like others have said, good to jump straight to the sale instead of having to wait.
Really enjoyed this video, excellent editing too. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bought my Capri 2.0s from SWVA three years ago.Very pleased with it & the customer service from auction.
Great to hear!
Great video.... I love the way you talk about the car and then show it going under the hammer 👊👊👊👌
Glad you liked it!
Really enjoyed this up load cup of tea in one hand and a digestive in the other great evening in !!!! Cheers fella!!
Glad you enjoyed it
15.000 pounds for the e type? How much is it in Euro? Around 30.000? I guess here in Germany you have to PayPal more for it...
Excellent video as ever keep up the great work 👍🏼💪
Thanks! Will do!
The cars I'd like to drive home would be the MR2 or the Capri
Both were very nice.
I noticed that the JPR Wildcat was based on a 1973 Mk3 Cortina, a worthy classic in its own right in many peoples eyes !
Agreed, but probably like most donor cars it was rotten beyond saving.

I just try and make what I would like to watch, and if others do as well that's great!
Some prices do seem reasonable. I guess either my budget or my perspective considers reasonable as too much. *sigh*
I find it interesting at how well the cars with unwarranted mileage did.
Good. Prices need to fall. I do not care if that means the price of my classic goes down as things are daft since convid. It will bring some happy wheeler dealering back as we enjoyed a decade ago.
I do think we are seeing post covid settling out of prices.

Thanks, and yes, strange!
Only discovered your videos this week but enjoying your fuss free presentation.
Its what we try to do...! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for these videos Oscar. Really enjoy these auction ones. But every time I watch I get one step closer to buying my dream car. Vauxhall nova sr
Glad you like them! There was a Nova there, but a 5 door non SR one...
2 of my friends had a nova SR one was red the other was yellow. This was in 2001

Fair point, I do have to play to the majority but will try and drop an 'oldie' in next time.
Quite a few bargains there Oscar. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Oscar, best wishes from Ireland, your channel deserves to have over a 100k subscribers 😊
Maybe one day!
I like your style of presentation..good videos...
Thank you so much 🙂

I have a few cars like that in my back catalogue. I missed the MGB with the big resto spend... doh!
@@oscarsgarage447 was a good buy, white one, proper e type was a good price too, couldn't stand that kit car.
the p1800S were all assembled by Jensen weren't they. I assume any that were P1800 were Volvo assembled..
@@ianmontgomery7534 nearly, p1800 were jensen built, production moved to Sweden and they were then called just 1800 S, s was for Sweden not for sports, but everyone calls them p1800, s these days.
The engine in the sd1 was worth the buy on its own,£10,000 all day long.
These videos are great 👍,i know the xr3 stripe looks naff, but it was the in thing back then.
Glad you like them!
Cheers Oscar, that P100 looked like an ex HSS Hire Pick-up, some good buys in this one. All the best for now and see you on the next one.
Oscar is the name of the dog
Thanks, you too!
Well produced and presented ...thanks
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. 👍
That Peugeot 304s convertible - any info to say it’s the CAR SOS one?
Car SOS one was older and had the quad headlamps, same colour though. From memory I think the SOS one had been converted from lhd to rhd, but may be wrong.
“An original UK left-hand drive car”?
Good point. Keep it to yourself, I don't think anyone else noticed...
Never understood the appeal of the XR3i, even when they were new.
I'm the other side of the fence, I remember getting the Ford catalogue at the time and it looked so good. Each to their own though...

Are there many stilleto fastback coupe about?
A few, not many though.
Very interesting vid, enjoyed it! 😀
Thanks for the visit
From what I've seen ìn a number of auctions recently. The quality stock is still holding price, but the everyman classics are on their arse.
Yup, I think that's what I said in the title?

Last of the 2 stroke bikes are now big money, so you could be right...
Great video !!! Love your auction visits. Enjoyed the reference to Westover road. Do kids still cruise down Westover road ? In a fake E type ?
As I am not local to there will hope someone else will tell us!

Have a 3.8 litre triple carburettor engine for that car .

Hey up Oscar good video enjoyed it and could have bought a car with no roof with my initials, the first one
Glad you enjoyed it ☺
The SD1 was mine, glad to be rid of the piece of crap tbh 🤣🤣only owed £1800 so win win.
The buyer could be reading the comments on here...

The black Rover SD1 sounded rough in their promo video.
Their guide prices were quite accurate
Sign of a good auction house I guess?
@@oscarsgarage447Except that the reserve often seemed to be at the top of the estimate, rather than the bottom -- which is more usual.
Think reserves were top estimates. Seems to vary auction to auction.
@@oscarsgarage447 That’s very unusual.
Now is the time to buy....if you have the money. Less and less people around able to get into this market
Agree a good time to buy, but also think the number of people is reducing as they don't know how to maintain them?
Wouldn't give the pinto jag houseroom. 😮
Difficult one that. It did look really good, but would be a let down when you opened the bonnet. I did some research and apparently if you fitted a Jag straight 6 the weight of it caused significant understeer!

Bing have to bid

It's a shame you didn't feature the Volvo P1800.
Well I did, sort of... it was a bit of a surprise, even to the auctioneers. I could have faked it afterwards, but not my style to do that.
If the Capri had only done 27,000 miles, why did it need a full respray?
Don't know for sure, but red is a paint colour that doesn't age well, but also may have had a number of knocks and scratches over the years?
It may have done 27000 miles but like most old cars, need paint
@@oscarsgarage447 A car that takes a number of knocks and scratches over the years is likely to have done more than 27,000 miles. Just sayin'.
A lot of regrets are about surface as that unique investment turns into a millstone.
It's all happened before and it's going to be worse now

Ouch... I see where you are coming from, but ouch! 😲
@@oscarsgarage447 true tho, I've had a 67 coupe and a 69 2 plus 2 and that was no comparison to a proper e type.
Halfords go faster stripe 😬
wtf expensive shit box motor vehicles 2024 ,sorry to upset you ,but i like your work here taken for us .
What a bunch of boring tin , i do think that the Volvo P1800 did ok .

The XR3 was nice so thought it would do well.
Should be able to put a Jag XK 4.2 lump in it for not too much money.
It’s the financial Times we are living in
nothing to do with the cars but who cares
cars are cheap enuf ..now tax it and insure it...not so cheap any more .get a insurance quote befor you buy any car....

If it gets bids...
