The Jimmy oOple Auction

[Stu]

An auction of the late Jimmy ‘oOple’ Storey’s collection of R/C cars and parts will take place during the Winter oOoo’s ‘Christmas Weekender’ which is to be held on the 5/6 December 2015 at Chadderton Raceway.

We would like interested people to attend the auction; it will take place after racing finishes on Saturday 5th December at approximately 5.30pm.

Jimmy wanted his extensive collection to go to people who would understand it and look after it so to that end we will be giving the racers who have grown up with oOple the chance to own a part of history.

The auction will include new in box vintage kits and spares, body shells and newer kits including cars that Jimmy raced himself.

All the Lots will be on display an hour prior to the auction at Chadderton if you wish to browse.

The Lots are listed separately in the new dedicated auction section with pictures of each lot.

Will there be a list with some pictures and item #s of all the vehicles, parts etc posted? I've always liked a few of his vehicles from the review builds he did but being on the other side of the pond I will have to proxy bid via email.

Glad it's not on ebay!

Awesome collection, so many things i want to bid on...

[janaya]

WOW! I may not win any but I have to at least try on some of these.

Wow....what an incredible collection.! Thought I had a lot of stuff. My only worry would be that there is so much to bid on at what is a relatively small event.. Just hope that lots of people bid on line to get the prices up to a decent level, for Jimmys sake.......

Hats off to Jimmy for owning this lot and still staying married

If I had 'procured' this lot the only result I could can imagine in my house is divorce!
