Hi Guys,

Great day there and lots of fotos to upload.

I was not going to say anything but I bid £630,000.00 for the Healey !!!!

I was bidding on behalf of a friend of mine in the USA.

His tact was to keep totally quiet about it.

He would not go to more than £680,000.00, so I just waited to see what happened.

Found it quiet exilarating but also scary even though it was someone else's money.

Chis Evans wanted the lovely 1998 Rover Mini Cooper and bid circa £7600.
