  World’s Cheapest Celica at Auction Today 30 Jun 2004 (News)
  As one trader remarked, “will it every be a nice car?” Top bid was just £5,500, at which it sold.

  E60 525iSE at Auction Today 19 Apr 2004 (News)
  Traders tell me it’s not the first time an E60 5-Series has been seen at auction. Apparently, one made big money in the Midlands in December. The Blackbushe BMW in the photo was a 5k mile 2003/53 525iSE, list price £28,500 new and a bit less bought via Drivethedeal. But this one was loaded with leather, BMW’s excellent front and rear park-distance control and the mixed blessing of Active steering with 18 inch wheels.
