Sports cars cheap at auction today 22 Oct 2007 (News)
Could I tempt you with this 53k mile 97P MGF VVC, sold for just £1,300? Maybe a rather leggy but clean 119k mile 98S BMW Z3 1.9, sold for £4,200?

Auction Report Double Bill – eBay 8th May 2005 11 May 2005 (News)
Over £2,000 On Bank Holiday Monday (2nd May) two very well cared for and desirable cars passed through the eBay auction. The BMW 325Ci has now taken a bit of a back seat in the motoring press compared to its infinitely capable brethren. Autocar recently had a 330Cd on test and liked it immensely, and, judging by the number of them on the road the public have also taken them to their hearts. -
680HP Jaguar XJ220 S Spec in Historics May 20th Ascot Auction 30 Apr 2017 (News)

Classics spotted in the classifieds 20 Oct 2011 (News)
It’s an automatic, though, which might dull the sportiness for some. BMW Z1 - £29,995 Just 8,000 Z1s were made by BMW in the late 1980s and almost all of them were sold in the German market, so finding one for sale in the UK is difficult at best, and if the exceptionally low mileage figure of 8900 is accurate on this listing it’s likely to be one of the neatest examples around. 170 horsepower comes from a 2.5-litre straight-six, so performance is brisk and matches the outstanding looks. -

Concern Over Brake Disc Quality 31 May 2008 (News)

Plenty of Variety at BCA Classic Auction 12 Feb 2002 (News)
BCA's Classic Sale yesterday proved well worth going to, especially if you'd spotted the ad in Saturday's Telegraph which entitled you to a free catalogue and entry for two. And there were some unusual cars, such as the well-used 1957 BMW 502 V8 in the photo. This one bore all the signs of having been stored in the open, including green moss and massive rust bubbles in the front wings. But it wasn't just a runner, it was a daily driver and the engine started with a nice V8 burble. -

Spectacular Bargains at Auction Today 5 Oct 2001 (News)
As a long winter looms, the market goes hard-headed about soft-tops, which explains a top bid of just £17,500 for a 92,000 mile 98R BMW M3 convertible with the sequential paddle shift (£46,000 new). An 86,000 mile 98R SAAB 900i 2.0SE Turbo convertible couldn't raise more than £8,700. But the surprise of the day had to be a 99T Toyota Yaris, the first I've seen at auction.
