jim dbm Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 did anyone see if the apexis in the cabenet were the ecus and commanders and what cars they were for?
jonboywrx Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 hi guys, i didnt get chance to have a look around! have a question for al who were there! Was the black wrx 1995 (Lot Number 7) look any good? Or was it a bag of nails!! looked dodgy anything like that? Any replies would be appreciated!! Jon
euan_r Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 didnt have time to look at black wrx mate. auctioneer couldnt find keys to open display cases. container outside which had me curious was apparently full of cleaning equipment and wasnt for sale pending claim to entitlement.

Which black one was on the ramp then? Thought that was lot 7?
euan_r Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 lot 14 was on the lift, project requiring completion. there is a black wrx in show room aswell.

Boyakasha Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 The WRX RA was nice, these don't have a roof vent, light weight bonnet or 5th injector like the WRX STi RA. The Silver STi with the DIY NOS was a no go, paint was terrible and the car probably wouldn't make it to the end of the road.

euan_r Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 bonnet had been replaced as panel gap was way off regardless of whether steel or alloy. section where front door mounts also felt matt.

Must admit the bonnet did weigh a ton, but overall at the current money it isn't a bad buy. Where the wind deflectors are stuck on requires some paint and tidying up as well. Not sure about the box, and I'd also say that it was a UK block that had been stuck in so there is no way it was running 265bhp

Hightower Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Lot 7 did not look too hot supposedly. a mate of mine went to have a look at them for me and him,looked like it had had a hard time on a track....? drivers seat was different with a harness and the only one he thought was any good was the celica although agreed with comment already said...not a subaru so no good . we are interested in the skyline though but still not clear what exactly we would get. guy up there did not seem too helpful and i was on the phone to hillington trying to get any info and got virtually nowhere, was told."some parts are there but no sure exactly you would get and condition" could be an interesting project over the winter. also told dont know if the cars run batteries are all flat so cant tell you. ..................cheers. will have to see how it goes tomorrow another mate of mine is after the car lifts as well for his shed.(60'x 30') not a garden one. easier than digging a pit. there is the 10% buyers fee and VAT on that so dont get stung! its fleabay without paypal
thefastone Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 So most of the cars were crap then... pity... Does make me wonder what happened to all the "good" stock... I wonder if he somehow managed to write it all off, or sell it to himself for mega cheap... but did anyone get any pics of the black one on the ramps... the one that we thought was the type-R...

Shame really as I wudnt have minded a project for the winter! But like you say if he wouldnt start he car, you dont know what state its in at all! ta
Hightower Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 did anyone buy anything?? , my wee boy was having a hernia operation today so was not keeping an eye on what was going on but my mate told me that some things went pretty high in the end. we never bought anything! dont have to clear out the garage so early now
craigdmcd Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I understand what sold on the auction site means, but does the term "closed" mean that the item wasn't sold for that amount?
thefastone Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 there's not normally a reserve in such sales I thought Neil...?
Hightower Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 as far as i was aware all cars met there reserve? as when i looked at the list on tuesday night all said reserve met. dont know what any of them went for though.

I was more interested in the large quantity of spares that was bid up to £1980, but doesn't have a sold beside it, and I just noticed at the end, a damaged Impreza went for £22!!!!!!!!!!!
