What did you do today?

Apparently if they have reserves they won't be below the lower estimate. I suspect they will struggle to sell much going by previous results and guides. That Austin is a charity lot so could pull strong money due to that. I am sure I will be proved wrong and it will all sell at way over estimate but the market is weird at the moment. The panhard I would be happy to pay the lower estimate but I am a bit concerned that by leaving a bid they will start it at my max. I will try and follow it online but as I will be in the que to board a ferry at the time it goes through I expect I will miss it.

I was hoping that it being a smaller auction and less known auction house, stuff might end up going for a bit cheaper.

The 1100 looks very good.

And yes, they are vastly better than a Mini.

I've been to the museum twice (first time during COVID) and obviously being an 1100 I took photos. Yes it does look to be a really nice example.

Low spec 2dr with a central Speedo. Rare.

I don't think I ever uploaded my 2024 visit but this was my 2021 visit:

Treated it to a wash. Couldn't help myself triggering a few people on Facebook. Admittedly these are worth a fair bit more than they are over here and so much more treasured.

If you're going to get a 1100, then that looks a good one to go for. Low miles & unmolested, it's always easier to fix stuff when you don't have to undo bodges first.

Need to buy a Rootes product, being as we are on page Rootes.enginesize();

The 1100 Deluxe 2 door was the only ADO16 to have the Mini centre speedo. 1300 2 doors all had the offset strip speedo or three dials (MG) and iirc the only SuperDeluxe 1100 was the four door. There were quite a few around and the centre speedo carried on into the Mark III.

The colour is almost certainly Bedouin. It looks an outstanding example and if you can get it for 6 grand or less, I'd sell something to make room for it.

It needs to be garaged of course. What a lovely thing.

Mathewsons have a 1966 MG1100 in Connaught green but it's been painted with a hoover or a roller. It might flat and polish but it'll never be what I'd call 'nice'.

Looking at the price lists in my 1100 club book, I think the MK2 had a 2dr 1100 super deluxe but the MK3 didn't.
