MP4-12C being auctioned at BCA

[100 IAN]

Suprised to see that Porsche have put a 12C into auction.

Reg now is LA62 OLM, but it does say its had a plate transfer.

Just over a year old and warranted 2,500 miles. Doesn't say anything about spec tho

Anyone know the car? Any guesses as to what it might fetch?

If anyone's going to be there or able to find out what it fetches when it goes through it would be interesting to know (don't think BCA publish sold prices unlike the classic auction companies)

One was going through at the end of October. It was a 12/62 with 6k on, but I didn't get to know what it made.

£127k

It would appear to be in tomorrow's sale. Since I don't drive there any more I'm afraid I don't know more than that.

Company policy maybe? All cars not being retailed go to auction, at a guess.

Almost certainly it was a trade-in that as noted above they can't retail

Provisionally sold at £123K

Maybe it's a car they bought to benchmark the 991 Turbo against. Bought by Porsche GB, sent to Germany for a bit, then disposal through the auction is a clean way to get shut of a car they've been fiddling with?
If they bought a LHD car in Germany, maybe too many questions would have been asked when buying it and selling it.

Nah all the big manufactures lend each other cars for this kind of thing, basically to stop all of them having to buy cars from each other.

It'll have been a PX.

Porsche dispose of all cars they cannot retail through BCA, so anything that is not a Porsche.
