  Preview: Barons Jaguar Heritage Auction, Sandown Park 29 Mar 2013 (News)
  The 1954 XK120 Drophead Coupé was comprehensively and sympathetically restored in 2011/12 by Old School Engineering in Wales, with the aim of restoring it to original, factory specification with no modern upgrades. The one concession to modern motoring is a period-style radio with FM and iPod connectivity. The vendor now finds that he doesn’t have the time to use the car and has decided to pass it on to someone who will enjoy it. Estimate: £63,000-£70,000.

  eBay Auction Repoert 3rd April 2005 3 Apr 2005 (News)
  A 96P, 55k, blue Citroen Saxo 1.1LX with 10 months MOT made £880.01. However the 7 owners, lack of a radio and a randomly illuminating airbag light may make it seem less appealing. This compares to the £300 paid for an 89F white Micra 1.2GS with 65k. It had 6 months MOT, but the reason why it sold for that much was probably down to its automatic gearbox.
