Interesting to see if this new kind of format will catch on. Hope so, for the buyer it is very good seeing that many pictures and honesty. Bring A Trailer in the US is very successful (https://bringatrailer.com). Having the chat functionality is really useful, they should have something similar on the CarandClassic auction. I am constantly amazed at the prices, some are very cheap and some are ridiculously expensive.
Not sure if the auction part from Carandclassic is well known enough to bring it under the attention it deserves.
Good luck with the sale.
The future ain’t what it used to be.

Back then, it was about turning the cars around for a quick profit, not restoring them completely.

Hi John,

Looks like it's getting close... sad to be moving on, I hate selling cars - always left with a feeling I'll regret it! I'll definitely miss the sound :)

I'll keep my membership and would love to see some nice Jensens at a meet if we are ever allowed out again, will people throw things at me if I turn up at events in a jag!
