Trouble is, I'd have to ring myself as self employed.
Just spoken with auction house, and discussed vehicle further, and whilst they would not confirm reserve figure, they did advise a commission bid would need to be at the estimated range £7 - £9k.......
After sleeping on it last night, my initial excitement has been tempered somewhat, it already has a colour mismatch on nsf wing, so by the time you then effect a proper screen out scuttle repair, there would no doubt be a further mismatch.
I could quite easily see myself with my OCD tendencies, then wanting to look at a full glass out, and body stripped restoration and fully respray.
My ideal colour would have been a midnight/navy blue, with red interior, so whilst a respray would allow this, it then destroys the history of this vehicle that accounts for the cost.
Oh well, Now I'm considering registering to bid online, so would need to pay holding deposit, and hope bidding stays low, as if it got to £5k ish I think I'd take a punt on it, if it goes to estimate levels, then nothing lost.
Always assuming one doesn't get auction fever
Cheers
