Auction Special | Ford Scorpio Fails, Toyota Pickups & Getting the Train Home 😔

November 14, 2025 • The Old Car Lady

This week on Wheels & Deals, I'm joined by motoring journalist Richie Barnett for another auction special. We headed to the Classic Motor Show in Birmingham to check out the Iconic Auctioneers sale, make our predictions, and see how spectacularly wrong we could be!

Pitstops:

• The surprising flop of a low-mileage 1996 Ford Scorpio Ultima

• A rare 1987 Fiat Uno Turbo i.e. that didn't quite hit its estimate

• Two Toyota Hilux pickups - one a worker, one a showpiece

• A beautiful 1965 Volvo Amazon Estate by Ruddspeed

• The enduring appeal of the Porsche 928 S manual

• A super-low mileage 1990 Mercedes W124 260E • The rise of the Mark 3 Golf GTI as a future classic

A Nod to:

• Iconic Auctioneers

• The Classic Motor Show, Birmingham
