Popular Post Truenotch Posted November 8, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2015 I bought the red AW11 (auto + on hold). Picked it up today, threw a battery in it and it runs! Lots of smoke and sounds lazy, but it goes. Time to do a few autocrosses in it before pulling it to bits . 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakotom Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I'm happy and sad I didn't go because of the prices of all the VWs...... That 60s one was a hell of a deal Greg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I am also so glad I didn't go. Nothing I needed but at those prices id have probably accidentally bought something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchfromhillcrest Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Anyone check out lot 74 (1968 Commer Camper) and know its condition and/or who it went to? The one with just steel framing which was rusted as hell? Unsure if it was a comer though. A mate of mine picked up one of the comers.

Jon Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Lot 74 was one of those things I'll never forget. Was chatting to Bigfoot and Chris R about this whilst the bidding was going on, asking about costs for re-reg, as I was really interested in it but thought it'd go over budget; I'd looked over it the day before and it seemed solid. Bigfoot mentioned the 'on hold' writing in the windscreen, which I'd forgotten about, so I turned round to put up my hand to bid but the winning bidder was putting his bidding number up a few people in front and the auctioneer didn't see me, so it went for $500, which was a bargain; the whole camper interior was still in the back, etc. Anyway, I got home and saw my overly full driveway despite being one car down at the moment and thought that I'd probably dodged a bullet, in all honesty. Being amongst so many projects yesterday also made me realise that the junk I have isn't actually that bad. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damm, had exams all week so couldn't organize much in the way of getting up to hamilton to look and purchase, i assumed it would go for alot more than $500...was a little guttard when i found out what it went for . if anyone knows the new owner i would be interested in talking with them maybe sorting them out a quick profit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HR30liner Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Hi, I am the buyer of the fifth mr2. Dark blue metallic, rough because it has been prepped for a respray. Reg and warrant, targa tops with good seals, but auto. Drove to Napier no probs, but before I left the auction site I noticed it was losing water round the water pump. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I saw you driving this on Friday afternoon? If so, I assumed this was already your car and that you were looking at getting parts from the others. PM me if you want a lead on some manual conversion parts (pedal box, master and slave, lines etc) as I have a friend in Napier who might be willing to part with those bits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HR30liner Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 No, wasn't me driving it on Friday. Turned up to auction on Saturday morning, interested in getting a Imp with a mate, but it wasn't to be. Checked the Mr2 over, very little rust, supercharged and little interest from others. Couldn't leave without it at that price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browndog Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 If I had been there I would have bought 30, so I am happy at the outcome, however I do wish I had more space! and cash! and sense! I did buy, the Crusader, both the Transits, both the Rovers, and a Moris 1300. you having Transit withdrawals since selling the last 2? Let me know when they arrive, I will come for a nosey (and no I am not buying any more!!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derp, my brain only just caught up now. Got any interior C-pillar trims you want to sell? Not Ben with the manual conversion parts is it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Star Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I can tell you there's 6 cars that wont be back on the tard You will get bored with some of them soon and sell to me for mega cheap bargains/I don't think I need a transit Wish I had gone, unfortunately funds were at way below zero for the month so as tempted as I was it would have just made me more angry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
