1969 Vauxhall Cresta PC - Fairly straight & clean car with 66,000 miles from new - These are powered by a straight six 3.3 litre engine with manual floor change gearbox - loads of room with plenty of power - very clean interior and now a very rare sight - not much to do on this one at all if I'm being slightly critical the bottom of the doors don't align that well with the sills but a keenly priced rare classic at £7,750

1960 Wolseley 1500 - Solid clean & unmolested - genuine 85,000 miles, very tidy interior, way unrated little motor - use as is or tidy the paintwork a little or these are quite tuneable with lots of interchangeable oily parts from the BMC / MGB range - I could readily boot / live with one of these but sadly haven't got the room
You don't get much for sub £4k in the classic world today - Priced at £3,950 - with a little haggling this would be a bargain smiles for miles motor

Be different, In fact be very different - 1973 Thornycroft Nubian Fire Engine - Ex military - Switchable 6 x 4 powered by a Cummins 14.8 litre V8 diesel - part converted to a camper but comes with all the original fittings - Covered just 7,300 miles from new so its hardly done a days work in its whole life - I would readily run this in my fleet if I had the room - £7k buys it
1954 Wrigley Auto Truck - Industrial 3 wheel trolley truck - In a very original running order - How different do you want to be ? - loads of fun for just £1,500

1963 DKW F12 - Extraordinarily rare car (The only right hand drive F12 in the UK) - Restored condition and well priced at £7,995 - not the prettiest of cars but would turn heads wherever it goes due its rarity and would completely upstage any Audi gathering / rally

1977 Triumph Dolomite 1850HL - Very solid, tidy & under rated car - honestly described - would benefit from the paintwork being refreshed or just use as it is - It's very fairly priced at £2,900 - A bargain in my book
1963 DKW F12 - Extraordinarily rare car (The only right hand drive F12 in the UK) - Restored condition and well priced at £7,995 - not the prettiest of cars but would turn heads wherever it goes due its rarity and would completely upstage any Audi gathering / rally
If that’s anything like the one I drove,( DKW, but different model), it will rate as the most unnerving car you are likely ever to drive. 3cylinder two stroke with three sets of points buried behind the bumper. Go down a slight hill, take your foot off the accelerator and it speeds up, thanks to the freewheel hubs 🤣🤣

DKW, but different model
DKW were absorbed by Auto Union (Has was NSU) with Auto Union eventually becoming Audi - Hence the model that you drove would be strongly allied to the one in pic and almost certainly had the same drive train
I learned to drive standard on a DKW 3=6 (4 speed column shift) and loved it. I have tried from time to time to find it again with no luck. I actually think it has a real 50's vibe (knowing it is a 60's car)

Do on the road well presented Jaguar XK150's come any cheaper ? This is an original unrestored car - all there & unmolested, nice registration too £39,000 asking price makes it a real bargain
