Did you know that the old office manager from Matthewsons (Sarah Crabtree) now has her own classic car auction site based in Dagenham Essex. ??Porters2 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 8:08 pmAuction estimate is only £6k - £7kKiwiDave wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 4:24 pm At Matthewsons via auction.

Sometimes their estimates are way off (usually pretty good), I was looking at a car with a 12k estimate last time, started bidding at 18 and sold at 30.Porters2 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 8:08 pmAuction estimate is only £6k - £7kKiwiDave wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 4:24 pm At Matthewsons via auction.

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
That’s surprisingly low for Mathewsons, their prices are usually higher than retail. I used to buy from there until the tv series took off, since then they are too expensive.Porters2 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 8:08 pmAuction estimate is only £6k - £7kKiwiDave wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 4:24 pm At Matthewsons via auction.

Their buyers and sellers fees have soared too.
My SLK daily driver I bought from them a few yrs back, got it at a good price back then but that was when Derek ran his auctions from the local village hall.
