Yes Gibbo, I think that could be a major nightmare!! But I bet it will fetch silly money because of its status!!

Never had a VW in my motoring career, but clicked on the VW variant in white from the auction list. not sure why that sort of thing perks my interest noisy and pretty ordinary.

I took a shine to the Fiat Gamine Vignale but I wondered whether you get Big Ears with it?

Had a couple of those pass through my hands in the business, quite difficult to find a buyer at the time when Beetles were all the go.

The only VW group car in that list I would entertain is the 1978 Audi 100, lot 729, I used one of those for a year or so and enjoyed it.

Anyone feeling brave and entrepreneurial?

We had a red Audi 100 Avant from that era and loved it. Followed by a couple of Passat estates. The Avant was the best of that bunch. After that we had 2 GSA estates and finally a VW 412 LE auto that I used to demonstrate Gunson Mastertune Diagnostic units on. I could carry my demo units and lift the engine lid with the tailgate open and demonstrate the diagnostic kit on my own car virtually "instantly" - rain or shine, in the car park or outside a client's busy workshop without disturbing their work in progress.

..and coincidentally lot number 123 in Mathewsons sale 10th December 2021 just happens to be this

There is a new Bonham's catalogue available today, as usual full of exotica and rich man's toys but if you look carefully there are a few nice options to be found like this old favourite of mine:

Some good friends of ours have recently moved back to the UK, and taken delivery of a brand new Jag F-Pace.
Hybrid, so lose brownie points there.
And - honestly - just looks like any number of SUV-types on the market, nothwithstanding the badging.
OK, as a previous Bentley and Jag owner (in earlier life), I understand his wanting to re-live earlier glories . . . but, honestly, why?
And what might that be worth when, in not many years time, ICE gets finally outlawed and buried.
Buyer's choice, of course.
