Help to find a tool auction

Long time since I posted here (sorry), a move to California for work meant the Morris (was a 67 2 door called Pootle) had to be left behind….

I’m yet to find a moggie to buy here nearly 20 years later but haven’t given up hope.. maybe I’ll import one one day!
I got a lot of help from this club back then, including a local member (Willie) who drove his convertible for our wedding car!

Anyway over to my real reason for the post.

I have an Uncle who passed away a few months back. He was an independent mechanic his whole life and has left behind a LOT of tools and other related parts. (About 5 garages worth…!)

I’m looking for an auction house that will collect, make up appropriate lots and sell or a dealer that can take it all away.
There is a lot of good tools and some specialist stuff, some of which is probably quite rare these days.
I don’t want them to be lost forever!

Any thoughts / ideas appreciated. :)

Sorry to hear that you had to leave the Minor behind, and for the loss of your uncle. Can you just clarify the approximate area where the garages are located.

This might sound crazy, but what about Jay Leno? He's certainly going to have the contacts in terms of finding places for selling items, he may even be interested in the stuff for his collection, and he's in California :)

I would try the company in the link below:-
https://www.homeandworkshop.co.uk/
They are located in South East London.
If they cannot help I would suggest that they can point you in the right direction.
