Theres a restored car on there in the next sale guided a 8k, far far too cheap.

Agreed.
If it's a half decent restoration, it's worth into 5 figures of anyone's money.
You just don't know though without a really good inspection just what 'restoration' really means.

It definitley appears to be far too low an estimate.

It’s the colours. White works so well on an Esprit, but is not everyone’s favourite colour on an Excel. The garish red interior is nobody’s favourite & I should think every bidder will be factoring in £400 to have the wheels turned back to silver.

& the Mathewson’s estimator is perhaps thinking about the most recent Excels to go through. It’s not long since I bought one from them – a late model with all the various improvements (although it has the inferior OZ wheels). It has excellent red paintwork, black leather interior & a 2.5 LB engine & SS exhaust. It made nine something the first time it went through, & didn’t sell. I paid them eleven something for it.

£7000 !!! Great if you want to buy but it does lead to a question, would you put a car through thier auction ?

As an owner no. But as an uniformed relative or executor of an estate probably.

Would I know how to to value / where to sell a car depending on what it was, yes.

But an elderly relative's furniture and possessions not a clue. If i had to clear a house so i could sell it to the will sorted i would just get a local auctioneers in and get rid.

No one is an expert in everything which is why, despite the proliferation of information, there are still bargains to be had.
