The Anglia auction of last weekend had some great No Reserve bargains I think.




https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/auctions/2728-01-Nov-2025/12499~1-1953-triumph-mayflower
It does look good in the pics with a nice colour scheme. Such a cute car. Hammer at GBP 2,376 inc Premium




https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/auctions/2728-01-Nov-2025/11981~1-1968-rolls-royce-silver-shadow-i
Even cheaper - I do not think I have seen a reasonable presentable RR for this money. Sure it will needs a fair bit of repair but one can have a bit of a gamble with this price GBP 2,268 inc Premium




https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/auctions/2728-01-Nov-2025/12527~3-1963-ford-thunderbird-lhd
And now for something completeley different! A bullet Thunderbird. This is cheap at GBP 4,320 in Premium




https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/auctions/2728-01-Nov-2025/11842~1-1953-riley-rmf-25-saloon
I quite like this shabby Riley too. With the more desiable larger 2.5 engine. Just GBP 960 inc Premium




A beautiful big Hillman! Under 5k at GBP 4,968 to be precise.

For some vague reason I could not insert the link to the big Hillman. This is it:

It may be a forum setting, rather than anything random - on phpBB it's possible to limit the maximum number of links per post. Maybe it's set to four.

It is a nice Hillman, good price for the buyer but tbh the popularity of these models just isn't there.

As we've said on here before the prewar market is on the downward trend.

No, it was having problems with the quotes around the 'big' in the url. You can see that it does not underline the whole of the url.

In many cases yes (there's a tidy looking 30s Hillman on ebay at the moment for not-a-lot). However a decent, but not immaculate, Austin 10/4 saloon hammered for over 10k a few days back at auction, so there are people out there still prepared to pay well for pre-war (not old enough to be vintage) cars. Maybe the Austin had a "desirable" and removable registration number, I haven't checked.

As an owner of many prewar Hillmans over the years we have always found that there just isn't the following as you'd get with Austin / Morris / Ford etc.

So generally you can get quite a lot of car and good build quality too for very reasonable amounts.
