  Golden Oldies at Auction Today 28 Apr 2004 (News)
  £675 wasn’t much to enjoy the sun (when it comes back) in an 86k mile 93L Rover 214 cabriolet. There has been a bit of a discussion in The Backroom about Audi Allroads, so to add to it a black 104k mile 2001X Allroad 2.5TDI bid to £13,000. But we got involved in the bidding for a real oddball. The lady wanted a diesel saloon. This was a rare Rover 420D Executive, with leather, aircon, alloys, CD autochanger and 58k miles, but on a 2000V plate dating from 3 months after the last 400 Series were built, so it didn’t book.

  Drama at Top Car Today 26 Jan 2004 (News)

  Renaults Dear at Auction Today 19 Dec 2001 (News)
  Obviously the trader whose car it was needed the money for Christmas presents. A repossessed 40,000 mile 99V Audi A8 3.7 Quattro Sport would have been a good buy if it came for the £15,900 provisional bid. Golfs also looked down a bit. £7,500 was the top bid both for a 47,000 mile 2000W 1.6SE and for a 55,000 mile 99V 2.0GTi 3-door.
