The TDF seems like a bargain. £1.75m

That was very cheap compared to recent TDF sales, I suspect its decause it was not one of the closed headlamp models

The guy that was singled out was waving though...I thought the auctioneer was completely justified in pointing out that waving at an auction is a bit silly if you aren't bidding!

[Streetrod]

He is RM's main car Auctioneer, speaks five languages I think, really does know his cars and races a rally car with his dad

Had no idea you could watch this kind of thing live. Strangely addictive.

Good essay procrastination.

The fight for the Miura went back and forward there haha

Veyron was subject to VAT on the full hammer price, I did hear correctly :-

Addendum
Please note this lot is subject to VAT on the full purchase price (both on the hammer price and the commission).

Makes it 707k
