1881.0. "Vauxhall Auctions" by PAKORA::MCOMMONS () Tue Sep 08 1992 11:59

    
    Does anyone have a list ( with telephone nos ) of major car auctions  
    that specialise in newish Vauxhalls, I'm looking for a Cavalier GSi
    or Calibra 16v. Any comments good or bad about the auctions would also
    be appreciated.
    
    Thanks

    I don't know of any car auctions which specialise in one make..
    
    but a number of large auction groups (ADT for instance) have special
    days (maybe once a month) for late year, british cars.  mainly fords,
    vauxhalls & rovers etc..
    
    Best thing I've found which lists dates, phone No.s etc is a magazine
    called 'Car Auction' or something similar. It's a small A5 sized jobby.
    I think some of the used price guides (eg Parker's) list auction sites
    as well.

    Vauxhall only auction on the 16th Sept, only problem is I believe
    this is closed to the trade maybe even for just GM dealers. 
               Heres the number in case someone knows another way
    round this.

ADT Auctions Ltd. Blackbushe - Yateley (Just outside Camberley)(0252)878555
		
This is if your in the Reading area really, if not, give them a ring.  They
should give you some information on what your looking for, or of an ADT Auction
near you.

Hope this is of help

1881.4One in ScotlandFAILTE::THOMSONSFri Oct 02 1992 12:3714
Back in the middle of summer I was at one in Glasgow ,London Rd past the Zoo
and on the way to Parkhead , the had what appeared to be a fleet of Vauxhalls
different models and specs a really good mix , they also had a fllet of VWs
back from VAG .I dropped in and asked if there were any reserved prices on the 
cars as the action didnt start until I think 18:00.

Prices seemed to me to be a bit on the high side but I asked about 2 

Nova 1.2 3dr low mileage merit was about �1200 cheaper than in a garage at that 
time

Polo 3dr coupe low mileage was around � 900 cheaper than in a garage.
