This vinatge ERA was taking part in the Jersey classic car weekend (June 2010). The sound of this car was amazing and it certainly had the performance to match! This car did the fastest time of the day during the sprint event run on the previous day. The pilot of this beast also did very well on the hill climb giving some of the younger cars a run for their money. This video shows one of the starts.
Most antique car auctions work the same way as any other kind of auction. The auction house produces a list of the cars that are to be auctioned and the dates it will take place. The cars are sometimes grouped into categories but this really depends on the specific auction house. The list of cars contains the information about the antique cars available. Namely the make, model and sometimes the owner’s details. The information is usually limited and the condition of cars is not usually stated to avoid any legal comebacks.
You will usually find that the majority of people at an auction are there just to look and not to sell or purchase a vehicle. Auctions attract lots of enthusiastic collectors that just love to be around their favorite hobby. Very often traders and collectors will attend to get an idea of the value of specific cars. Auctions are great places for gauging a price that your own vehicle maybe worth. It’s kind of like getting yourself a free appraisal.
Selling an antique car in an auction can be a bit of a hit or miss experience. If you are lucky and have the right vehicle and several interested people the price can go quite high, sometimes better than selling privately. Be sure to print out a detailed list of all the specifications of your car. Even if you just use your home inkjet printer, listing details and providing color photos is key. It is well worth t he cost of the ink to make lots of copies, and you can save on ink by using a 123inkjets coupon. However you take your chance that it may sell close to your reserve price or if really unlucky it may not sell at all.
Buying can be tricky and we would always suggest you attend several auctions before bidding so that you get an idea of how it works. The last thing you want to do is to cough and find you just bought yourself a vintage vehicle for several thousand Dollars. All bids at the fall of the hammer are legally binding and must be honored.
You should always be aware that once you have bought the car it is ‘sold as seen’. This means that should there be something wrong with it there is no comeback and it is assumed you checked the car thoroughly beforehand and was aware of any possible defects. Having said that you can sometimes bag yourself a real bargain if you play safe and don’t jump at the first car you see.

Vintage car restoration could be described more accurately as a passion than a simple hobby ñ little beats the thrill you get after hunting down and fitting that special car part. But passion or no, restoration can be a costly pastime, as sellers understandably try to take advantage of your enthusiasm and get the best price for the part you want so badly. There’s no denying that the right vintage car part is worth a lot to you, but don’t get ripped off. Here are a few tips to help you get a fair price for the part you need.
Before you make that trip to the wrecking yard or vintage parts dealer, be sure to do your research. Check online to see what the going rate for similar parts are. Find out how difficult the part you’re looking for really is and be prepared to pay a little more for rarer pieces.
Try to find a reputable salvage yard or dealer and ask them what their pricing structure is. While you might be better choosing a seller with a formalized pricing plan ñ some dealers value parts at a percentage of what a new part would cost, for example, while others have a set price for the same part from any car ñ those who are willing to barter might ultimately offer you the chance to make fantastic finds. Compare a number of parts sources if you can, to try to ascertain where you might get the best deal.
When a price structure is not in place, remember not to give away too much ñ your obvious enthusiasm for a particular car part might just jack up the price. Express your interest in the part you want, but don’t act as though your life depends upon it: car part shopping can be a treacherous game! The dealer will obviously try to get as much as he can for the part you are after, so bid low, and go up only reluctantly. Play your cards close to your chest, and don’t give away anything that might suggest you are willing or able to pay more and leave the expensive watch at home!
When you finally agree on a price, be sure you know what you are paying for. Is the casing and so on included? Some yards will charge an extra fee for removal of a part that is still in a car, so ask if you can remove the item yourself. Unless the part is deeply embedded in the existing car’s structure, this could save you quite a bit of money, but if the job is complicated you might be best having it removed for you. Saving money pales when personal injury is a real risk! Have fun bargaining, but remember to stay safe.

This is one of my good friends John, he told me about what he had planned the day before I shot this. I offered to film it for him because it’s such a unique opportunity to capture such a milestone in someones life. John’s father is truly the nicest most hard working person I have ever met, and I couldn’t think of anyone more deserving than him. If this video doesn’t cheer you up I don’t know what will. Thanks for watching! ps- Look at the dad’s shirt, it was totally an ironic coincidence, I didn’t even notice it until I uploaded this.
