Steve_Mack_CT Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Granted a heavy project but estimate on the Jag seems pretty reasonable for LHD.

edinmass Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 Lots going on here today. Auctions seem bigger and better than the last ten years. People everywhere…….It’s looking like a banner year at Amelia. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinmass Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 The Loco was nice………..but seems no one was on it. The 1916 Pierce slowed at 40’s……..then pulled out 90. It was very nice….. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Mack_CT Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Bonham's full auction is on Youtube, watched an hour or so last night. Always tough to asess if one isn't in person, some cars went for more than I might expect, some less. The Darrin looked to have some wear on it, I did think the little MGTC project was a good buy at less than $7k all in. Needs a restoration, but I could see that going to a hobbyist, well supported parts wise and it looked to be solid and complete. Two R107 MB 560 SLs, very similar cars with similar miles with around a $20k variance in selling price. Maybe luck of the draw on when a car hits the block? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I will have to check that out. Thanks Steve. Its tough to figure out what you want to bid when there are multiples of the same thing. Sometimes the first one that goes across is the high water mark, and other times the first one turns out to be the cheapest. Its all a crap shoot! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Mack_CT Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Bid to 150 and passed West. And at that no real buzz or quick run up to 150. The guys on site can say more but it looked like an older restoration from what I could see. Also, as a yellow car fan this one to me, seems really yellow. Ours, and another Packard that was in Bonham's sale are more of a cream yellow. Not saying the color is incorrect but maybe a bit less attractive. That said I wouldn't go so far as to call it an ugly color either. Look at pics, the top, interior, etc. Look 1980s to me, but servicable. Great car to rack up miles with I would think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 The Darrin was well worn. Also, 120 chassis not a 180. Finally, as a 39 the build quality is not at the level of the connersville built cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ aren't most Darrins on the 120 chassis, I am sure sr. chassis adds a lot of value - Dave Mitchell mentioned production on the Sr. Chassis is much smaller.

West Peterson Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 First, there were no 180s in 1939, as 180s were introduced in 1940. I think in 1940, a higher percentage were done as 180s than 120s, and ALL 1941 and 1942 were 180s. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
