The Classic Car, Motorbike & Prestige auction takes place on Saturday 17^th September 2022 from 11am. There’ll be 172 lots – to include cars, trucks, motorbikes and bicycles.

I don’t claim to be a classic or vintage vehicle connoisseur; however, there are certain old cars and bicycles that conjure up memories from my childhood. For instance, I know that my dad – in his bachelor days – used to drive an MGB. Also, there’s an old photo of me at the age of about 6 or 7 (mid-1970s) sitting on the  bonnet of our family car… a pale coloured Ford Cortina Delux. A few years later, when I was in my early teens, I learned to drive… in a canary yellow Austin Mini Moke. All these cars (not the actual ones we owned!) will be in this sale.

Some of my other favourite vintage vehicles are featured – including a Morris Traveller… all that beautiful wood trim. And who wouldn’t love their very own ice cream van?!
