Welcome to The FREE, Government Auctions UK Newsletter

Hi,

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS INFORMATION APPEARS IN THE NEWS SECTION AT THE MEMBERS' AREA AT GOVERNMENT AUCTIONS AS SOON AS WE RECEIVE IT. FULL DETAILS ABOUT EACH AUCTIONEEER CAN BE FOUND AT THE SITE.

The GAUK Newsletter is our regular FREE bulletin designed to keep you updated with news, latest sales, auction results and general pieces of interesting auction information that have occurred throughout the week. This is a supplement to information contained in the main GAUK Database and is an additional service.
Please Read On...

"I really am impressed by the quality and quantity of information you supply, especially as I was a little skeptical at first - GREAT SITE!"


You stand to lose thousands of pounds if you don't check it out now.

At last, you can find out the closely guarded secrets of top traders.

We receive countless emails requesting us to review products and to be honest, most of them are not even worth the space they take up on the hard drive. However, occasionally we stumble across a real diamond in the rough and these are the ones we let preferred subscribers know about... You see, without this information, we can guarantee you'll fail in the market.

A week ago, we were asked to review a revolutionary new program that has just been released. After reviewing it in great detail, it truly can be called the holy grail of trading. It reveals what all top traders have in common. After talking with the author, we've found he's still collecting testimonials and so we made him an offer… we'd get him some top notch testimonials if our subscribers could receive a 25% discount on the package BUT THERE'S A CATCH.

Trading Secrets Revealed

In exchange for the discount, once you've completed the package, all he asks is that you write one paragraph telling him what you thought. That sounds fair doesn't it? It's a win-win situation. 

To take up the opportunity visit: http://www.netnewsrelease.com/trading   

Read the letter and discover that he leaves nothing out. Unfortunately, this special offer is only available to the next 37 orders. After that, we can't guarantee you'll receive the discounted price. Please check the program out since I know it'll be worth your time.

Legendary cars up for auction

Legendary cars up for auction
By Valerie Kuklenski, 

When George Barris cleans out his garage, it's no ordinary tag sale. Today, Barris is auctioning off more than 70 custom automobiles his company, North Hollywood-based Barris Kustom Industries, built or accessorized for the entertainment business.

The collection includes two of the 1969 orange Dodge Chargers, known as the General Lee, in the "Dukes of Hazzard" series. And there's John Travolta's Greased Lightning 1946 Ford hot rod from the movie musical "Grease."

"It's going to be an interesting auction," Barris said. "We haven't had so many cars offered in one location at one time before."

Bidding on the Barris Star Car Collection will begin at 1 p.m. at the Petersen Automotive Museum, 6060 Wilshire Blvd. at Fairfax Avenue, following one last preview beginning at 10 a.m. The catalog can be viewed and bids placed through Bonhams & Butterfields' site, www.butterfields.com. 

Levi Morgan of Bonhams & Butterfields said hundreds of bidders are expected at the museum, with many more participating through phone and online connections.

"There's a lot of interest from the U.K., from France and Italy on a lot of these TV cars."

Morgan said most of the cars are in driving condition, although they might not be suited to everyday street traffic.
Barris expects some of the hottest bidding action on the General Lees ($75,000-$85,000) and Greased Lightning ($65,000-$75,000).

Just as pricey, though, is the beat-up jalopy built for the 1993 movie version of the sitcom "The Beverly Hillbillies." It might not earn a primo parking spot with a restaurant valet, but it's a heck of a conversation piece.

"All the props, the rabbit skins are hanging on it, the wood ladder, the pots and pans," Barris said.

"There was a left fender that was dented, and I had five jalopies so I had to duplicate that dent five times. I used a sledgehammer. I had to practice and practice and slam that fender the same way."

Then there are the two Flintmobiles seen in the 1994 feature "The Flintstones." Barris recalled star John Goodman running his feet raw in the floorboard-less "stone" vehicles, even after a golf cart chassis and electric motor were added.Barris plans to donate several choice pieces to the Petersen for a George Barris Hollywood Star Cars gallery, including the main Batmobile from the 1960s "Batman" series, a colorful Monkees car from the '60s pop band's TV show, some vehicles used in James Dean films and the bizarre custom hearse seen in TV's "The Munsters." In all, the auction includes about 80 percent of his collection.

"At Universal, we had more fan mail for the Munsters' coach than for the poor Munsters," he laughed.
It's not all about nostalgia, though. Several souped-up cars from "The Fast and the Furious" (2001) and its sequel "2 Fast 2 Furious" (2003) should appeal to twenty-something customers who can afford the $65,000-$75,000 estimated prices.
Morgan offers some hope for bidders with more modest budgets.

"Many of these automobiles are offered with no reserve," he said, alluding to the seller's minimum price. "These may have estimates of $50,000, but theoretically some of these could sell for $25,000."

Also up for grabs:
A sleek, futuristic, metallic blue car created by prototype shop Trans FX for a 1993 Universal movie titled "Fastlane" that was never completed. Estimated at $150,000-$175,000 and rigged with camera mounts, it's ready for its close-up.
A 1984 Pontiac Firebird that answered to "KITT" in the 1982-86 TV series "Knight Rider." (Car voice not included.)
A 1981 DeLorean from the 1990 movie "Back to the Future Part III."
The demonic 1958 Plymouth Fury coupe from the Stephen King horror picture "Christine."
A 1975 Ford Gran Torino seen in the TV series "Starsky and Hutch."
A cherry 1955 Chevy sedan that cruised through "American Graffiti."
Assorted curiosities on wheels created for "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas."
Barris may be liquidating a lot of stock, but his family-run shop is keeping busy. He says he is working with Karen Kramer, widow of filmmaker Stanley Kramer, on a remake of Kramer's 1963 chase comedy "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World."

People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. 

When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.

There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who 

watch things happen and those who wonder what happened. We all have a choice. You 

can decide which type of person you want to be. I have always chosen to be in the first 

group.
