Bangers n Cash
 

New series on Yesterday, classic cars sought & sold for auction. Based in Thornton le-Dale in N Yorks. Looks good:D
A bit like Chasing Classic Cars, only here:cool:

Watched the first one last night.

Very enjoyable, but I must admit I was shocked at the price the Cooper S went for :eek:. I know it's rare, but in that condition, there would surely be little left of the original car once it's restored. It put me in mind of Triggers broom! Basically £18K (plus auction fees) for a VIN plate, engine block and perhaps one or two more bits.

Looking forward to the rest of the series :}.

Agree Cliff, very surprised it even came out of the garage:eek::D Local to me so piqued my interest:cool:

Proper, genuine Coopers are fetching massive money at the moment Cliff. Just look at what this sold for recently :smilie_re: https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/254...mGST24nh7Ct3kU
To be fair, the 970 Cooper S is one of the rarest but, even so :eek:

I agree as well. He basically bought the VIN plate, every thing else would need replacing or extensive restoration. It was a wreck!

Yep very interesting, my best mate has had a couple of cars from Derek, as have a couple of family members in the trade.

i wonder what my pre production mk1 mini cooper 1961 would worth

What channel is it on?

Channel 19, Yesterday @ 8 o'clock Thursday night:cool: If that makes sense:D

I know it's right, but that is really messing with my head :rofl:
