Accident-damaged classics under the hammer
In total, 130 accident-damaged cars with varying levels
of damage will be auctioned, including a Jaguar 3.4 MRK
2 and an MGA. Most vehicles fall in Category C or D of the
damaged car classification system. In addition to the auction,
Universal will hold a Classic Autojumble.
Avril Palmer-Baunack, Managing Director of Universal Vehicle
Services, comments: "Our last Classic Car auction was
very successful; bidder attendance figures were very high
and 98 per cent of classic cars up for auction were sold.
We aim to repeat this success in September and will continue
organising specialist auctions to offer our bidders a wide
choice of classic vehicles.
The auction takes place at Universal's Sandy branch, London
Road Industrial Estate, George Town Road, Sandy, Bedfordshire,
SG19 1QH, and starts at 10.30am. The entrance fee for interested
bidders is £5 and one form of ID will have to be presented.
Bidders registered with Universal can enter the auction for
free. Classic cars up for auction can be previewed on universal-services.co.uk
Car Supermarket For Wales on former auction site
Motorpoint, the car supermarket company with outlets in
Burnley, Derby and Glasgow, is about to open a fourth operation
in Newport. The ten-acre site on the Queensway Meadow Industrial
Estate, formerly used by British Car Auctions, will create
around 40 new jobs and will start doing business next Wednesday
(August 24).
Motorpoint sources its cars from mainland Europe and the
Republic of Ireland, and claims to offer "the lowest
car prices in the country". The company says it has
already sold 30,000 cars to Welsh customers from its existing
sites, despite not actually having had an outlet in Wales
until now.
Tommy Hilfiger for Auction?
Fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger is considering putting
his company on the auction block after receiving a bid
from a potential buyer.
The Hong Kong-based company is understood to have hired
JP Morgan to run the auction and is ready to look at bids
from both private equity and trade buyers, though the process
is expected to take several months and a deal is not certain.
The news comes just a week after a cloud was lifted from
the fashion house when it agreed to pay $18m in back taxes
to settle a year-long federal investigation.
The Hilfiger brand name and logo have become a staple in
shopping malls and department stores but has spent the past
few years trying to restore its lustre and expand its reach.
The company has restructured its wholesale operations and
last year purchased luxury brand Karl Lagerfeld.
After being adopted as the label of choice by a number of
high profile rap artists, Tommy Hilfiger is also trying to
reclaim its heritage by returning to classic fashions like
polo shirts.
Before the speculation emerged yesterday, the company was
valued at about $1.5billion, although sources suggested it
could fetch upwards of $2billion. Potential buyers are said
to include the likes of Jones Apparel Group and Liz Claiborne,
both of which focus primarily on women's clothing and could
be interested in extending their reach into menswear.
The company said last week it expected revenues to decline
to $319m from $329m in the first quarter of the year, although
its pre-tax loss will be smaller. Shares in the company,
which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, jumped around
15pc to nearly $19 on the news.
Burt Flickinger, managing director of Strategic Resource
Group, said he believes a financial group, as opposed to
a fashion company, was a more likely buyer.
Beatles memorabilia for Liverpool auction
Lot 118 is a very rare Paul McCartney Beatles gonk dating
from 1964, the year of Can't Buy Me Love and A Hard Day's
Night. "What a classic item!" enthused Stephen
Bailey, manager of the Beatles Shop in Liverpool.
And what of lot 169, an important collection of original
handbills for Heswall Jazz Club, including one for the Beatles
from September 25 1962? "A lovely thing," sighed
Mr Bailey. The Beatles Shop will stage its 15th Fab Four
memorabilia auction in Liverpool on August 27 during the
city's annual Beatles convention. The gonk could set you
back up to £350 and the handbills are expected to fetch
up to £3,000.
"The market for Beatles stuff is still amazing after
all these years," said Mr Bailey. "The Beatles
Shop opened 18 years ago and I think I'll still have a job
in 18 years' time.
"Items are sent in for the auction from all over the
world and people bring them with them when they come for
the convention. Often they are selling things so that they
buy other bits and pieces and keep collecting."
Material this year has come from Australia, the US, Holland
and Germany, with much more coming from Merseyside. "Local
people still seem to have stuff in their attics and cupboards.
After spring cleaning, people come into the shop to ask if
something they have found is worth anything.
"I have to tell them that their copy of Please, Please
Me is not worth a lot a lot because 700,000 copies of it
were sold. But a tatty bit of paper advertising a Beatles
concert somewhere might be worth £1,000."
Big money items in the sale include Beatle autographs obtained
at the El Rio club, Macclesfield in January 1963; a fully
autographed Beatles page from the 1963 programme for Roy
Orbison's UK tour; and a menu from La Dolce Vita in Newcastle
from the same year, signed not only by the Beatles, but also
by Orbison and Gerry and the Pacemakers. Items that should
not break the bank include a Beatles talc tin by Margo of
Mayfair (excellent condition; up to £180) and a Beatles
Thermos flask (missing red lid; up to £70).
"I've seen everything including bits of toilet paper
stolen from the Apple building and bits of George's shirt
sent to fans by his mother," said Mr Bailey. "But
I like the little things. We have a membership card for the
Cyn Lennon Beatles fan club in the US. It's probably worth
only about £30 but it's amazing the club existed and
someone collected the card."
But while there is plenty of Beatles memorabilia for sale,
Mr Bailey regrets the lack of Merseybeat material on the
market from the Searchers, the Hollies, Billy J Kramer and
the Dakotas, Gerry and the Pacemakers and Rory Storm and
the Hurricanes.
"Many people think that in 1961 these bands were musically
a lot better than the Beatles, who were just starting out
and were a bunch of scruffs who could hardly play their instruments.
But it just happened that two of the Beatles were exceptionally
good songwriters."
Also for sale is a signed first edition of Paul McCartney's
2001 poetry collection, Blackbird Singing. But it is not
Mr Bailey's copy, acquired four years ago. "I queued
29 hours to get it. It was great fun. Wonderful, especially
at three in the morning when it started snowing. But I wouldn't
do it again."

House prices fall for fifth month
House prices fell for the fifth month in a row in July, bringing
price levels back to those last seen in December, according
to the FT House Price Index, the most accurate guide to
the real trends in residential property prices.
Average home prices were 0.4 per cent lower compared with
June, bringing the annual rate of inflation to 4.2 per cent,
the lowest since August 1996.
The average property was worth £190,783, about as
much as in December last year. Gary Styles, chief economist
of Acadametrics, the consultancy that calculates the index,
said “Over the last five
months house prices have continued to show modest falls.
Although some regions showed signs of stabilising in the
first quarter, prices are now beginning to ease further
in most regions.”
The Positive Club
"Believe it can be done. When you believe something
can be done, really believe, your mind will find the ways
to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution."
--Dr. David Schwartz Author of "The Magic of Thinking
Big"
"There are those of us who are always about to live.
We are waiting until things change, until there is more time,
until we are less tired, until we get a promotion, until
we settle down -- until, until, until. It always seems as
if there is some major event that must occur in our lives
before we begin living."
-- George Sheehan
"People waste most of their waking hours every day
going through the motions, chatting idly, shuffling paper,
putting off decisions, reacting, majoring in minors and concentrating
on trivia. They spend their time in low priority tension
relieving, rather than high priority goal-achieving activities."
-- Denis Waitley
