So their previous lives do generally seem to be reflected in the prices achieved then.£4m for the Chiron seems fine. As does £2m for the LaFerrari and Enzo and £1.4m for the F40.
Some prices surprised me - £1m for a 599 Aperta
I'd struggle with paying four times the price of a 550 Barchetta (which, IMO, is one of the most beautiful modern Ferraris) for a 599 Aperta
What a remarkable collection of cars, some of the sold prices are eye watering.
2 questions:
1. why have they sold all of them?
2. where on earth do people get the money to amass a collection of cars like that, i mean if thats just the cars imagine what other aspects of their lifestyle must be.

Tax and capital gains free profit. 2 questions:

Some absolute stunners there. I was surprised the Lancia Delta S4 went for a lower price than the Audi Quattro S1 E2 though. The Lancia won the 1985 Monte Carlo rally whereas the Quattro retired from the 1985 Lombard RAC rally. I guess the Quattro's are rarer though so maybe that is why?

IINM, the Tax the Rich fellas were related to the guy who founded Foxtons estate agents and then sold it just before the 2008 credit crunch for £400m......Muzzer79 said:

Wow, fair enough. An incredible amount of money.
Yes an incredible amount of money in the sale but how does that compare to the amount of money they had to spend on the cars in the first place.I'm sure there isn't much in it!
Should have bought bricks and mortar instead.
Yes I'm only joking!

£20m...seems that people were not put off by the You tube vids of people having some fun in the cars...maybe it added to the value being a bit famous?
No, that's not the case at all. Buyers of these sorts off cars don't care how famous they are on YT.I doubt the Youtube thing had any effect whatsoever. The videos were officially anonymous enough to not be directly linked to the cars on sale.

To be fair cars driven by the likes of Colin McRae or other rally or F1 stars have huge values because of their racing fame of that vehicle and driver....even celebrity owners on the first log book seem to bump up prices.
Maybe you know more about the buyers of these cars to know they do not care how famous the cars are?

But given the cars' value, would you buy one of his, or a different one from somebody else?
You'd want to have them inspected thoroughly. You'd also feel a bit sick if you want them unaware and your mate showed you the video of it bouncing off the limiter in a field.
I am not sure I would be too bothered if I bought a car and found out later that it had, on one occasion been bombed across a field and had hit the rev limiter?
I once bought a new Cerbera, it was an ex demo but sold in the year or manufacture. I was told by sales how to finish the run in period. I later met a client who had borrowed the car from the dealer before I bought it and had also attended a track day by the dealer and said he ragged it around the track with other customers....It only bothered me due to the pretence of running it in.

Cars that have been used in significant films or events that are traceable and have provenance, are famous and carry additional value.
But these cars aren't famous. They are allegedly linked to some people who allegedly ran a YouTube channel that featured cars that were allegedly the ones in the sale.
They didn't even get that many views (in YouTube terms)
Plus, if you were to look at TaxTheRich's YT channel now, as it stands, none of the cars from the sale are actually on it.

My point was that when we refer to most of the replies on this thread it seems the buyers were not put off by those YT vids.
I added that MAYBE it added value? (I was only posting to wonder if some people were attracted to the notoriety of the cars in the vids) I guess the F40 used in the YT vids is the most famous F40 that I can think of...I can remember one owned by an 80's F1 Champ that car was quite famous and was displayed in a showroom in Surrey.
Fame is clearly subjective, hence reality "stars" being celebs...they are not to me but I am nearly 50...my 14 yr old daughter gets excited meeting Tik Tok people in public so to her they are more famous than the name Elvis Presley to her. Not sure if she would want to pay more for a car owned by a Tik Tok star.
