A Day Out With Modern Classics Car Club

Normally, we get stories of our good friend Jack living the good life somewhere hot, somewhere sunny and most probably car spotting somewhere in the world!

Jack spends his time travelling the world as Chief Officer onboard luxury superyachts but as the yacht is currently in Southampton we arranged to catch up with him at this year’s Barons Annual Christmas Classic Auction.

As a member of Modern Classics Car Club Jack has access to some of Modern Classics stock to use and enjoy when he is back in the UK so he brought with him this 1990 BMW 635 CSi Highline shadowline.

And a few weeks ago he sent me a picture of their 2004 Porsche 996 Carrera 4S that he was using for his return home.

Barons Annual Christmas Classic Car Auction 2017

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Christmas is upon us once more and we all know the best part of it is the present to yourself. So where better to be than the Barons Annual Christmas Classic Auction at Sandown.

Gordon and Craig from Bridge Classic Cars were there to enjoy the day and to present 5 of the current collection available for sale.

Early on Monday 11th December, Mark from Russell’s Transport arrived with his impressive Mercedes car transporter to help us get the cars safely to site. I would say safe and DRY but that part didn’t really go to plan.

As you can see, weather was definitively not our side this morning but we got through it, the cars were loaded safely (as was the cleaning equipment).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_cxXPUCcrM”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As always, Barons Classic Car Auctioneers put on a great day with a fantastic collection of classics on display. A few of the scheduled cars didn’t make it due to the weather but never-the-less, it was a huge success.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16709,16710,16711,16712,16713,16714,16715,16716,16717,16718,16719,16720,16721,16723,16724,16725,16726,16727,16728,16729,16730,16731,16732,16733,16734,16735,16736,16737,16738,16739,16740″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Channel 4 were also there on the day filming for their new show Inside Bentley: A Great British Motor Car and as we had our 1949 Bentley on show we were interviewed for the show.
