- Welcome back all,
In this weeks video we head up to Anglia Car Auctions for a full weekend of classic cars going under the hammer. Every time we attend this auction they surprise me with how many classic cars they gather together within a couple of months. From Fords to Minis, Mercedes to Land Rovers, this auction really does have a classic vehicle for everyone.
The cars which stood out to me were the fords but more specifically the two Mk2 Fiestas which were tucked in a corner out in the yard. The 1.4s previously featured on bangers and cash and it seems since then, the owner had done some light restoration. There Xr2 was in a slightly worse condition and had been crudely restored in areas. I was very surprised with the hammer price on the Xr2…!
Let me know in the comments section below, which classic cars you liked and what you thought about the hammer prices.
Their next classic car sale is on 10th & 11th June

Wow! 80k for clio sport.
Great videos these Mitch. Just the right amount of information on each car and the price reveal is spot on. You’re onto something. Brilliant
Thank you! I really do appreciate the positive comment and it’s good to hear you like the format of the video 😁
Seen 90% of these cars on the road when I was young! 54 tomorrow and still miss my Mk1 Fiesta XR2! Love your channel Mitch. Short, sharp and perfect narrative on each motor. Well done matey!
Another great content love you doing these auction vids you have them well planned and very informative details, so many surprises with the amount some of these vehicles make as they go through.
Glad you enjoy the videos 😎
I love this quick show and sell format, great stuff.
Glad you enjoyed! 😁
Thanks for doing these videos! Great watching. Really appreciated 😊
Glad you enjoy watching them 😁
Love your channel . I have a 53 plate Renault sport Clio 172 Cup she's my pride and joy . Always people come upto me to look at her. Only this morning at asda a guy came upto me saying she looked awesome and would have this over any supercar. I never sell her she go to the grave with me lol
That’s brilliant, I do love the 172’s! If you’ve got a spare minute send me some photos of your clio on Facebook - mk2mitch 👌🏻
Video really keeps you on your toes especially you showing the prices they went for makes it all the more interesting to watch 👍
Glad you enjoyed the video! 😁
Gread video buddy! Enjoy watching nostalgic cars growing up in the 80's
Glad you enjoyed! 👌🏻
Love the way you edit these go over the car then tell us what there expected to bring and then what they bring!
Brill well done buddy
Glad you enjoy the format of the videos, thank you for watching! 👍🏻
First time watcher and really enjoyed it, I wouldn’t mind seeing the entirety of the auction call and bids every now and again 👍🏻
I’ll try and document more next time I’m up there 👍🏻
Really enjoyed the video man thanks…the blue Mondeo was beautiful.
Quality video again Mitch, great aerial footage at the start with the drone. The Clio V6 was mint but crazy to think it would be worth £80k! Keep up the great work, much appreciated 👏
Thank you mate, yes I know, crazy money for a Clio! 👀
@@Mk2Mitch yes it is but they are even more expensive now, at the time no one wanted them so they are rare and becoming expensier by the day ,not that i agree but i feel that i´ll find one in the future to sell it and doble the money i´ll pay for it, the same happened with the BMW´s Z1 and Z8
Love the aerial footage at the start; all the cars look really cool lined up! 😍
Thank you! I’m starting to get the hang of the drone now 😁
Great vlog , reminds me of the past , love this content , first one of watched . Bring em on , Great job Mitch
Glad you enjoyed the video pal, plenty more auction videos to come 👍🏻
I like the way you presented this video Mitch, seeing cars individually then the price then on to then next one. Nice one mate and have subscribed. Great stuff
Thank you for subscribing, plenty more auction content to come 👍🏻
New subscriber. Love the straight forward format of this auction video. Good editing also 👌
Glad you enjoyed the video 😎
So pleased I lived my boy racer days 20 years ago. I had two saffs and an ecort cossie plus RS turbos etc. I sold my escort cossie for 8k 😭
Commentary on this video is perfect! Enough info per classic - Subscribed :)
Thank you! I appreciate the support, plenty more auctions to come 👌🏻
I see that blue cavalier when it was being wrapped by one of my customers. Unbelievable clean
That’s interesting! Yes paint was certainly very good nick 👌🏻
Thanks for joining us Mitch! Look forward to seeing you again soon.
It’s always a great weekend, I might have a entry for the August sale! Catch up soon 👍🏻
stumbled across your channel - love the video - well done !
Thank you for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
I was going to ask if you finally got some drone footage in a video and you told us in the end 😂.
Love the blue cortina and the windscreen cap of the 100e.
Totally agree with you on the white xr2 that engine sounded as rough as the bodywork 😂😂
Yes I’m getting to grips with my drone now! 😁
Something so therapeutic about these videos!
Not only were both Fiestas horribly neglected and bodged, the XR2 sounded like a speeded up blacksmith at his anvil.
Unusual colour but agreed with u about the 520i Touring. Rather in the same way we view 60s cars, so we view 90s cars, albeit for different reasons. I think they're good ones too, representing in my view, the pinnacle, the zenith, the asymptote, the motherlode, the polestar - the very crux of the matter - of motoring; combining as they generally do many aspects which you would definitely consider plus points - like reliability, good wind noise suppression, accident avoidance/protection, resistance to rust, performance - while not having had every possible contingency engineered into them. I personally do not want the car to steer and brake for me, nor even to maintain its distance behind another motorist up ahead - I never use ordinary cruise control, never mind one which uses radar to actively view ahead. And that's the point - there are now SO many features on a car, even a small one like a Polo, that to even contemplate reading the handbook from cover to cover to get an overview of all the controls and features, would not happen. It would feel like homework, and therefore a chore. I am just not interested in 78 different ways in which the tone, balance, fade, arena and razzle of my stereo adjust. I don't WANT to adjust my steering heft, the stiffness of my dampers or throttle responsiveness. I don't want the car to weigh an extra 2kg to accommodate the motors and sensors and extra wiring necessary for the car to make decisions for me - and then act on my behalf: I have driven dozens of vehicles with auto dip headlamps and none of them ever do it early enough.
Even electric seats I find a complete waste of time - and as for electric seatbelt height, steering column reach/rake and display screens, don't get me started. Steering wheel heating and massaging seats feel more kinky than luxurious. In short, much of what has in fact been available (even standard) on some cars for years, is already superfluous to my requirements never mind what is yet to come. That cars are getting bigger and heavier to accommodate it all - ironically to the detriment of economy, emissions, performance and handling - only exacerbates the issues their ever more advanced technologies were designed to tackle: for every pedestrian City-brake saves, another will die because the driver was relying too much on the car to pay attention for them, instead of doing it themselves - plus the fact the braking distances even from 30mph are an extra 6ft on the 2024 model compared to the 1994 model because the car from today weighs half a tonne more. I can't even now remember how many models ago it was that the Polo became bigger than the Mk1 Golf.
If I'm really honest I couldn't especially give a stuff about most of the above.... what really bothers me though is that in an effort to keep a lid on the size and weight - not forgetting costs - the componentry on modern cars is being made with less and less margins for failure. Whereas a waterpump, say, used to tell you it was on its way out, now they just go bang. And it doesn't end there because there are so many integrated electronics that I can see a time when you won't he able to change a fuse for a failed foglamp, without having to swap out the car's entire wiring loom..that for me is the key point. Yes, 90s stuff has electronics but not to the extent and (lack of) quality as today. Even really mechanical stuff I don't necessarily feel has got better - it is no accident, I think, that the car still running around today with the verified world record for mileage covered, is a Volvo P1800 from the 1960s. OK, with its more than three million miles, that is not just an impressive automotive feat - you'd need to be a VERY dedicated driver to cover 3 000 000 miles which even doing 60 000 per annum would take 50 years to do. That being said, I just cannot envisage a Mercedes C200 never mind something more downmarket like a Kia Sportage with more than 3mil on the clock in the year 2073.
This wasn't meant to be a "bash modern cars" rant, not at all - I accept I am unusual in not wanting all those toys - clearly most do, otherwise manufacturers wouldn't make them. The primary purpose was as a comparison between what cars today have to do compared to what they did 30 years ago. Tbh, although I focused on features and complexity (and the commensurate increased difficulty of maintenance), you could add performance to the list. I know I know that clearly sounds crazy - like the Duchess of Windsor used to say "you can never be too rich or too thin" so, it may be argued, can you never have too much acceleration. In reality it is one of those unanswerable questions isn't it Well, to a point - the answer, obviously is of course yes you can have too much - the laws of biology see to that: acceleration subjects you to a g force and despite notable exceptions, 50g is usually fatal. Accelerating from 0-100mph in 3.3seconds equates to 1.36g - so you can see there is a long, LONG way to go before we get to "too much".
That being said 10g will make most people go unconscious - not death, but not very useful for driving either. But even 3g is REALLY uncomfortable. With Tesla Plaids pulling nearly half that, we're really starting to get near the borders. And that's just speeding up. All cars brake (much) quicker than they accelerate so a fast stop from high speed in a Tesla, Ferrari or McLaren isn't much fun. In short, I believe the Plaid isn't the only car in the low 2's 0to60. I know being a passenger is different to driving but my brother's been in one and after only a few minutes said he "felt sick" - and that's from someone who owned a Porsche Panamera Hybrid.
We laugh now when we read that when the first trains were tested, there was widespread concern that the human body would just melt at high speed and that women in particular should not go past 50mph in case their womb flew out😂 Predictions about the future tend to age rather badly - look at the way Thunderbirds renders 2065 - Lady Penelope would need a long sit down and a double martini to get over the shock of 2015!!😂
And you know what? We are naturally sentimental - it's the instinct for the familiar - we're safe with what we know and safety equals survival.The more complex life gets, the more people will tend to seek refuge in something they remember from years or decades ago.
I think, as well as your cheerful and interesting perspective, that's why I enjoy your channel! 👍
I’m glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for sharing! 👍🏻
On behalf of anyone still awake

Thank you for subscribing, plenty more to come 👍🏻
Many cars not hitting there reserve looking like the classic car market has stalled I saw a video on TH-cam on that black 1.4s fiesta being recovered it’s been sat outside uncovered for a number of years definitely rusty and tarted up for sale,thanks for sharing
Great drone work - adds a nice touch.
That XR2 sounded rough as!
Thank you! 👍🏻
Well presented thanks
Your welcome!
Very cool 😎
I cannot believe the quality of these cars ❤. I used to be the auctioneer at a house that shall remain untold ( love you bro best years of my life ) even though you thought you were smarter than me xxx. The stuff we used to sell was criminal and most of it not fit for the road. But with that said most of it would be worth millions now 😢. How things change
I agree the quality of these vehicles is very good and to see them running through the auction gives you even more reassurance 👍🏻
Thanks again for a fantastic video Mitch 👍🏻🏴
Glad you enjoyed pal 👍🏻
Great coverage very concise and informative.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching 😎
Nice Cars and a nice Walk around. Thank you.
Your welcome, thank you for watching!
Really enjoyed this good job Mitch👍 That Xr2 though crazy money! Someone is in for a shock when they have that delivered and get a closer look at it. I think out of the 2 I’d have took a gamble on the black S would be interesting to see what the floor pan looks like under that carpet
I remember test driving an XR2 in the 90's - gutless tin can wonder.
Bought a GTE instead - way more power.
Glad you enjoyed the video Nick! Yes I agree XR2 wasn’t pretty but the S was a reasonable price 👌🏻
Had a white xr2 just like that brings back some memories
@@Charlie666- the1.4S also brings a lot of memories ,a summer festival 8kms from the beach ,the car was indeed powerfull some dirt roads you had to drive up ,the new model in 96 wasn´t capable but the old 88 was fast but not furious, mine had a pair of holes in the exaust and it did look racing
love watching your blogs .
I’m glad you enjoy them 😎
😊well done mate excellent quality content as usual😊😊 good job
Thank you for watching! 😁
Refreshing to see someone go for the more basic classic! The burgundy Escort was 🔥 my dad owned one just like it.
Great vid Mitch
Glad you enjoyed, yes I rated the mk4 escort 👌🏻
Those 1.4s are extremely rare. It's much rarer than an XR2. I had one many years ago when I was 18. Loved it and would love another one. Great video.
I agree much rarer than a XR2, I think the hammer price was quite reasonable? Thank you for watching 😎
@Mk2 Mitch I agree, because it did need a lot of work to restore.
Very well done, like your format of a look at the car, the estimate and almost instantly the hammer price, great stuff!
Would loved to have had a look at some of the higher spec cars as well, and the what I believe is an Austin Atlantic in blue near the end of the video, remember seeing one decades ago actually on the road and not seen one since! Thanks or this, keep up the great work.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoy the format of the video! I will try and record some other cars next time 😎
@@Mk2Mitch More than welcome, great stuff!
Great descriptions as always buddy ..🏴👍😎 18:34
Thank you Dru! 👌🏻
Enjoying the vids keep them up👍
Thank you pal! 👍🏻
15:55 that arch looks like it's made of filler Mitch, a good way to tell is run your fingers up the back of the arch, it should be thin , if it's filler it will be thicker , but look at that one from the front and you can see it's not a completely smooth curve and the thickness varies . Thanks for the video again dude 👍👍
Good tip, I think you might be right! 👍🏻
Great vid/detail.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video pal 😎
Xr2 crazy money sounded rough. Loved the Alfa 1983
Another great video. Excellent production. Your auction videos go by so quick, I'd watch them if they where 40-50 mins long.
I’ll bare that in mind, may have to make a longer video soon! 👍🏻
Quality video mate. Some tidy old skool cars
Thank you pal! 👍🏻
i was at the auction as live locally. Thought it was you when i saw someone hanging around the Fords with a camera. Will come and say "hi" next time. Keep up all the auction content too !!
Haha yes that would’ve been me! Of course come say hi would be great to meet you 👍🏻
Some of my friends are crying now. I knew 2 guys with a 1.3 Ford Fiesta Supersport. Both got smashed up when worth about £3000. Someone else I knew had a Mk2 RS2000 he sold cheap.
Been some great cars over the years.
Those Clio V6s seemed expensive at £25k. If we only knew?
I would love a really nice Renault 5 GT turbo for £10,000. But I guess I can only dream? I remember us going about town in my mates one in the early 90's and it really was special.
Cool video. Some surprising prices!
Glad you enjoyed! 😁
19:15 used to work on them in college the tutor was a ex ford mechanic and said this was the best car to work on surprise surprise 😅
I am only 30 mins away from the Auction room. Will have to pop down some time. New subscriber and loving the content.👍
Thank you for subscribing, yes it’s a brilliant day out 😁
Hey very good video, looking forward to more, well done!
Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching 😎
Good vid. I like the format. Just subbed.
Thank you for subscribing, plenty more auction content to come! 😎
Nice presentation well done can’t wait for you to buy a Mini 😊 you know you want one.
Glad you enjoyed the video, we will be buying a mini soon! 👀
also the 523i with back lights bigger than the 74 model and in 1980 had also a blue metalic with the 535i ,also the clio williams numbered edition,only for 3 monthes, also the Rover 114i for 15 days, had a golf like the golden one but with a diesel engine ,it was bordeux, the fiesta MKIII with two seats diesel (94)air conditioned from factory(i´m going to get it this afternoon it passed the inspection ,but had for 10 years one 1.4S from 88 just like the black one with special pearl white covers on the black iron wheels but outside half was metalic blue and the bottom half was grey kind of rubber paint all original with the two front lights like the XR3i mkII but the escort with a lot of graphics in black a 1.6i, my 70´s and 80´s also a few from the 90´s cars ,the fiesta in white, the XR2 in my country only was sold with the 1.3 engine, no metal was touched by rust in the cars refered but my 94 fiesta some winters when it really rains it feels a bit wet in the front carpet ,maybe the rubber on the windshield at the right down corner, all cars have the steering wheel on the right side or the same as saying ,the left side
The guy with the mic... isn't that the same guy from top gear at the classic rally car auction? LOL
Top gear did visit anglia car auctions!
2.0L GL Cortina. beautiful..
Great Vid Mitch thanks
More than welcome pal! 👍🏻
Had a double take at that white XR2, it wasn't my old B reg one from the 90's, mine had 4 working cylinders last time I saw it too.
Haha, wasn’t yours then! 🤣
Nice video again
Great video 👍
Thank you! 😎
Still absolutely flabbergasted at the £7600 for that XR2 😮😮 haha brilliant content Mitch. Onwards and upwards!!
The hammer price on the white XR2 is the same price I paid when I bought one brand new in 1987 from a ford dealer. Mine was the classy dark grey colour.
My mate got 18k for his unrestored silver mk2. Was sold at WB and sons.
As a motor trade man, I really enjoyed this video, always been curious what these sort of motors are selling for these days etc, thank you 👍
Glad you enjoyed the video pal 👍🏻
Ford STs are normally Performance Blue
Thanks again fella, enjoyed that as per.
Your more than welcome, thank you for watching 😎
Just shows them minis one of the best at keeping there price ,always sought after .
The Cortina could be a cheap daily driver for £5k Low insurance no MOT no VED no ULEZ no sweat :)
I agree 😁
Great video, that XR2 price is ridiculous, sounded like a bag of spanners with botched up repairs!
Haha, I couldn’t agree more! Was pretty shocked myself 😬
I'm liking the Mondeo ST a lot. I wouldn't mind that at all. £5,600 is a good but for someone.
On my list of places to visit soon, looking to buy a late Rover Mini
Is a good trip out if you do manage to attend 😎
i hope to get a xr2 when im older hopefully it will happen
yeah, that mk4 escort looks bodged, but rain stops 100% diag
the metro GTI was a fit little motor in its day, i used to take our demo out on the evening, but didn't dare leave it outside overnight, gone in 20seconds in 1990's sunderland was our reputation... [i got a job on police recovery, double wages every week, oh happy days...]
That’s very cool, I’d love to experience one of the GTI metros one day! 😎
Great video brilliant content well done.
Glad you enjoyed! 👍🏻
Mitch has a knack for these auctions, they are seriously good. Highlight was the ST200, they were so ugly when they first came out too.
Thank you for the positive comment, means a lot! 😁
The puma is one of a number that I was involved with, imported from Koln. The puma factory was just behind the dealer ship that we collected the cars from, up to 6 at a time. The cars were driven back then sold in the UK with around 250 miles on, at around £2000 under dealer price. Each car was inspected by the DVLA at Ipswich before being registered. Great days!!
That’s very interesting! Thank you for sharing 😁
They are BBS wheels 😎
If only I had the idea in 2006 of selling my 1990 Range Rover Classic Vogue here I could have realised so much more cash. Too late now!!
Nice video
I think whoever bought the XR2 (white) hadn't looked around it lol - great video thank you!
I agree, don’t think they had viewed the xr2 😬
Loved the camper. I'd definitely pay 15k for that
Great description
You need to get a job with Guy, as a young Brin.
Haha, maybe one day!
The Red 5 series are the wheels off a E30 3 series
Great channel 👍🏻
Thank you! 👍🏻
Couldn’t believe that Clio v6 went for that price. A few lads I know has a v6 and another has a Renault 5 turbo, be interesting to see how much that rare motor would go for.
They’re holding their value that’s for sure! I’m sure a Renault 5 turbo would go for a reasonable amount too! 😎
great place, down road from me 👌🏻
Is certainly is 👍🏻
Someone took a gamble on that white xr2! Sounded like a bag of spanner’s.. i remember when they were £250 cars..
They certainly did..!
I had a few of these cars in my youth,they were mostly rubbish drives,wish i still had them in a barn though.
That’s the beauty of them, not much back in the day but everyone wants them now! 👌🏻
The sunbeam is such a rare car
The Williams engine is an F7R
Take a magnet with ya next time prob won’t stick to half of them fords 😂😂😂
Great video could you include some Land rovers thanks
I’ll try to include some in the next auction video 👍🏻
Man that BMW is sweeet
Wasn’t it just!
Omg - that capri was a steal £5900 🤤
I agree 😎
A Mondeo ST200 is my dream car.
Was a very clean example! 👌🏻
What did the porch next to the cortina sell for if it’s none
Not too sure, you can check on anglia car auctions website 👍🏻
They have change the classic car law - It is now 40 years from date of registration.
Hasn’t it always been 40 years to be a historic vehicle?
@@Mk2Mitch 25 years from registration date. Now 40.
Why’d you not buy the mk4 escort grrrrr 😡 lol 😝 and show me the motorcycles , thanks for bringing us another great auction video Mitch, oh btw what’s happened to the bloopers, have you improved quite a lot lately, lol 😝
Haha not enough room for another project mate! I’ll try get the motorbikes at the next one 😎 No bloopers as I don’t seem to get as tongue twisted anymore! 🤣
Xr2 e reg all coloured code in white, my first car at 20. My dad sold for 500.00 5years ago, cause of leaky oil valve seals.
Sounds like someone got a bargain! Only going up in value now 😬
@@Mk2Mitch ,best car I ever had Power Engineering 1.9 CVH turbo 225 bhp.
Mondeo youl never be away from petrol garage ,heavy motor heavy on fuel .
had a golf gti convertible in white and blue. The blue was like the one in the video with modern bumpers and BBS wheels it was sold at the same time they released the MKII, the first with metal bumpers was from a german electronic engenier it had a phone bought from indians from India that we could call everywhere and i even made some money with it but till today i don´t understand how it worked , he was stationed in the Nato airforce field 4km´s from the city where i live ,there was also a big neighborhood with young german families ,they like the sun all year around lot´s of them never returned to germany, we Portuguese had at the time, this in the late 80´s 40 km´s of highway with 2 lanes each direction in all south of the country, some didn´t believe they had 5 lanes highways with a lot more and more kms, the spots where there was water ,there were trees ,also young german girls topless ,the kids from kms around in litle vilages came all to see young women ,some 40kms in old bikes , but if you had a car you could go to untoutched beaches in the south atlantic coast at 117km´s the most and see entire beaches with running drinking water coming from the rocks to the beach , where you could take the salt from your skin but filled with young women from all over Europe not making only topless but downless too, i took a guy that had never seen one city to the beach ,he stayed in the towel all day with the back to the sun, he was tried ,he said .Some french girls ofered to put sunscreen in his back and he only knew how to say "yes, yes" so they did ,nice 30 years we had. That´s how i started to colect Mercedes and BMW´s from the 60´s and 70´s they sold when returning to Germany ,also VW´s and audi´s (they were exactelly the same till the late 70´s)i once had a passat that was just like the audi 70 or 80 from my father ,only the dash lights were diferent ,the vw in green and the audi in red and the front grills ,oh i almost forget there was a wooden trim in the audi´s dash both blue metallic with 1.4L 70 h.p. vans
Had 2 xr2s. That was a rotbox and the engines needs attention but 7k plus was ridiculous.
