I preferred Suzuki. I sent some of my mis-spent youth on a GT750.

A nice kettle.

I had a RD250 GT185 a fizzie and a RD 400...could of killed myself.

My MG and Mrs peter's Hyuandai coupe serve the job....I've been self employed for 8 years...so now no Co cars.

I will confess to a Vectra design 150 hp bloody great.The next step will be a 911 or Cayman

I think I drove one of those when I was a Vauxhall fleet driver some years ago? I remember trying to shift from 3rd to 4th as I joined a motorway, only to find the bloody gearbox wouldn't respond. Then I realised I was still in 2nd, doing 55 mph!! It was nice cruising up alongside some boy racer in a fancy Mitsubishi looking for all the world as though I was struggling to get past him, and seeing the laugh on his face as he gradually increased the speed to stop me, vanish rather suddenly as I tickled the accelerator and left him for dead.

What like Heritage pushing the prices still higher.

Heritage doesn't push prices higher. Bidders push prices higher. Up to you to decide how high you want to go.

Sorry, you should Quote slab buyers push prices Jaggy. Does'nt really help when Heritage start the ball Rolling at an ungoldy amount in the first place either

I bid quite regularly at Heritage but I never overpay. If the bidding gets silly I pull out. Very few of the coins I am interested in are so rare that another example will not come up elsewhere sooner or later.

Heritage are a business. They are there to get the best prices and, therefore, the best commissions for themselves. However, part of that business model is to provide an outstanding service, which they do. It is really up to us, the bidders, to determine what prices we are willing to pay. If some people are willing to pay silly prices that is their choice and their money. If Heritage sets a high initial price it is, no doubt, because they know that there are people that will pay it.

I have to agree with you Jaggy. Heritage are really setting the standards for auction houses in the 21st century and, without realising it, a lot of collectors will benefit from the influx of interest (and, yes money) they are bringing to the hobby. As far as starting prices go, they can't really be wrong a just about every lot sells.

Every lot sells as quite a large percentage is slabbed. Our best British counterpart i'd say was DNW but i don't see their prices rocketing into oblivion, most of their coins are left unslabbed and i've never had a problem with their pictures nor their Customer service, yet they don't achieve the prices Heritage does apart from one particular sale last year.perhaps this is because Heritage is more widely known? I'm just glad they're not the only coin auction house around Edited February 10, 2014 by azda

I am also glad that they are not the only auction house around. Generally, competition is good. However, the buyers/sellers don't seem to be getting much benefit from competition in our area of interest as the commissions and other charges are pretty uniform across the auction houses. I am looking forward to the day when an enterprising newcomer breaks ranks and starts bringing the commissions down while still offering high quality service.

The vectra looked like a docile sheep until you gave it beans.

Clarkson eat your heart out.

My 72ft MG does me fine and I have a couple of tyres strapped on.

That's insulting docile sheep - it looked like a bog-standard Vectra with good wheels and a quiet little badge. Let's face it, the Vectra was one of worst decisions Vauxhall ever took, especially as it involved killing the Cavalier with the golden eggs. But that sporty version was something else, once you were behind the wheel and lording it over everyone who thought it was 'just a bloody Vectra'.
