	The Imperial War Museum at Duxford are auctioning 150+ motors, nearly all are smart and ready to use (hence £££ "not cheap" ) More of a "Look at that!" vibe than anything I can see myself buying, but there are 150+ motors to pick from and I'd be happy with any of them www.i-bidder.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/h-and-h/catalogue-id-ibhh10061?utm_source=ib-bespoke-auc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=h-and-h&utm_content=ibhh10061&utm_term=2018/03/14 1967 SAAB SONETT V4 - lovely, I wouldn't have recognised this as a Saab ! 1950 JOWETT JUPITER - calling @grumpynorthener 1921 WOLSELEY TEN '200-MILE' RACE EVOCATION - ideal for RRG hillclimb 1980 INNOCENTI MINI DE TOMASO - am I the only person who has never heard of this? www.i-bidder.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/h-and-h/catalogue-id-ibhh10061/lot-cbb627fc-be76-4d6d-834f-a89c00afd92d 1927 ROLLS-ROYCE 20HP 'W.O. BENTLEY EVOCATION' - not very practical but who cares when it looks this good 1944 WHITE MOTOR COMPANY M3 HALF-TRACK PERSONNEL CARRIER - ideal for rush hour or school run

	Normally not a big fan of these cars but this one is awesome! Leave as found! The INNOCENTI MINI DE TOMASO was or is a great little car. Rust must have killed most of them. I remember seeing the INNOCENTI in Italy a fair bit. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocenti_Mini

	I am aware of the Jupiter - just restored too but I think the auction house is leaning too heavy on the fact that it was a 'Monte Carlo' entrant in 1951 - they don't mention the fact that the car was retired shortly after leaving the start line - the guide is for my book a little head in the cloudsish at £38k - £42k - but happy days if they get it - I have just bought one to restore and it wont owe me anything like this figure when done.
