IF..I were to bid, the only one I'd be interested is the first lot, {#501}, a Reliant Scimitar coupe....in tatty mechanical condition....so, no reserve.
Probably more 'honest' than many of the others might be?
I do have some spares for these.....including a NOS unused, V6 water pump....
But I prefer the appearance of the coupes, to the more common GTEs
I also note, an awful lot of 'estate' cars of various sorts..including some 'specials' not normally seen on certain models. [Farnham estates of various ages, for example?]

If I was going to go for just one (which I have been told I am not  ) it would be the Barnard woodie on the 1947 TA Alvis chassis. I have a bizarre fascination for woodies, and this one looks much more elegant than most - the next lot, another TA Alvis, looks quite ungainly in comparison.

some of the estimates seem a little low, the consul mk2 estate £6-8000 for an estate seems too cheap.
the other big 50's fords estaes also seem cheap. |

I can't believe there can be many potential buyers these days who take auction estimates seriously. Even so, the auction houses still quote unrealistically low estimates in their catalogues.
I would like the Mulliner lightweight MkV1 Bentley saloon for £20 K but I know that unless it is a rot box it will go for a much higher price. |

There are a lot of Woodies included in the sale.
I would go for the lovely 1937 Standard Flying 9 if I had the choice.
