Sagaris sold in H & H Auction

[YRRunner]

Congratulations to the buyer. Anybody on here? That's quite a brave move for a relatively unknown car. Great colour mind. Ridiculous buyers premium though I have to say!

I know we shouldn't ask but go on how much did it go for? (in the region of?)

Do you have a link Mark?

Not breaking any rules here or embarrassing myself as the results will be publicly posted on the H & H site eventually. Hammer fell at £39,000 but the extortionate 12% buyers premium on top will hurt a bit!

Makes your deal look all the more attractive Rodney!

Final price of £43680 isn't looking too bad in these days of recent £50k+ sales.

What's the betting if it's a dealer purchase that it doesn't appear with an additional £10k added shortly?

I thought that.

[Legacywr]

I thought it did originally?

Don't know what's going on there then I was watching it online and the hammer definitely fell. I even called them at 6:30pm just before the end of the auction. The girl said it had sold and they were just sorting out payment as we spoke. Weird.

[Legacywr]

It must have been rejeccted? Or just not paid for?

[anonymous-user]

Sometimes they sell provisionally if it doesn't make the reserve and the vendor isn't present.

Most odd ?
I was hanging on the end of the telephone whilst the bidding rushed well beyond the guide price,certainly the guy who handled my call was under the impression it had sold,although the auctioneer was most brusque,with several previous lots he really hung the bidding out wringing out the last penny,not so the Sagaris.
I think I`m correct in saying Lot 1 also came from the same vendor .. which did sell with no reserve.
Odd .

The interior shot looks like there is dampness damage to the steering wheel etc?

The auction photographs were very poor,and in all honesty the car would have benefited from a decent valet but it was a good car that hadn't received any attention for several months prior to the auction.
One owner so I believe,full service history, few light scratches but nothing serious, no kerbing to the wheels etc
Had it been Chamaeleon Orange it would be sitting in my workshop now.

It looks like carbon fibre.

L100 TVR drove right past me yesterday afternoon in the West End of London... is it someone knew to TVR ownership? Possibly... seeing as he was out in torrential rain!

Looked very sorted, although I only saw it in passing

[V8 GRF]

Maybe a bit of shill bidding going on for some reason?
