be interesting to see what they sell for. I have always done my own PPIs ( not recommended!) and have never been able to do a proper job of it at auction previews , which effectively puts me off bidding !

Beware the money grabbing politicians, or the do gooding greeny environmentalists :wink: Dead right . There have been in last few years some attempts to put old cars off the road by making them illegal. The sort of classic cars that I buy are vulnerable because they are 'drivers' and not in the top...
