Culloden Hotel Belfast
14th Sept 1982, Eric Cairns was the auctioneer and Rob Lamrock was in attendance.
12 cars sold, the first and last to the same person.
The story goes that there were two transporters with six cars on each heading to the docks, when news broke that factory was in trouble..the lorries were told to turn around and head back to the depot as the owners realised they were owed a lot of money etc.
After some legal wrangling etc they were allowed to sell them to recover the money hence the auction.
Ernie Hewitt also sprayed Cyril Hinds car green after the red one was sprayed, Cyril's car is also a Culloden car, see this article below for more info on the car I used to own which mentions the sprayer.
But also he sprayed a DeLorean cream!! around the same time...dont think anyone knows where that one is!
Sadly around 2 yrs ago it was stripped back to stainless...
