Does anyone know what the V12 Vantage S was bid to ?

https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2018-aston-mar...

Last i looked it had reached £128k i,m surprised it didn't sell. What did you think Cheib ? its a gorgeous car and the ownwer has been trying to sell for well over a year.

For £128k as a private seller I think that’s strong money. Amazed it didn’t sell....and amazed CC listed it with a reserve set that high.

[anonymous-user]

The owner thinks they can recover a lot more of their £250k spend, which is kind of ridiculous given how much of it is money down the drain on options.

It looked a lovely car bar the godawful paint. I suspect that really limits who’d want to take it in.

[andy97]

I am looking fwd to seeing what the ur quattro goes for.

Anyone see what the 911 2.4S got bid to ?

2.7RS at £435k seems cheap for a RHD car.

Bargain for a 1973 911S despite being LHD..Not surprised it didn't sell at that price as i'd have expected the reserve to be over £100K..

It’s the second owner. It was sold via International Collectibles a year or two back, I believe at 170k or so, so not taking as big a hit as the first owner.

Heat coming out of the market maybe ? Although this could possibly have just been an example that on closer scrutiny needed money spending,

This car was advertised towards the beginning of the year for Eur 240k and sold recently. Was a fresh restoration

I fancied the 911S. I got excited when it was only at £45k with 22 hours to go.
I suspect the non standard bumpers and missing sill trims held the bidding back. Also, the original spec had seats with basket weave inserts.

I believe that was when it finally ended - this had happened a little before which confused things -

Oh dear....not a good look ! Amazing that the reserve was lowered and it still didn’t sell.

Bring a Trailer leave all the old auctions up with comments from bidders and sellers etc. The fact Collecting Cars don’t tells you they are not 100% impartial (which they should be).

It’s biggest issue is that it’s owned/run by someone who is slightly conflicted in that he’s also a car dealer and will I am guessing use it to try and sell cars where owners don’t like the SoR price or Bid he shows them. “If we don’t sell the car we’ll remove the auction” so your car is tainted as having failed to sell” is probably the sales pitch

So you've got dealers selling their stock through another dealers web platform.

Plenty of cars fetching good money so I suggest highest bids are what 'not sold' cars are worth.

Any auction is on that day and depends who’s turned up.
So indicative of current value but certainly not definitive.

There’s nothing wrong with dealers using it, they do that on BaT. Everyone knows it.

Everyone knows normal auctions aren’t shall we say everything they pretend to be and that car dealers play games. CC has a real opportunity to be totally transparent and set itself apart. It’s short sighted in my opinion.

Anybody else bidding on the 550/anybody know anything about the car?

Aston Martin Cygnet bid to £20.5k with three days to go?!

World’s mad!

Agreed, I thought it'd make 10k ish!!

I've never seen one in the flesh.

Is it just a fancy interior difference to the IQ?

Or is it much more?

No, not much more at all.

To be fair, a very high standard of paint finish compared to typical cars of this size.

I’ve seen one up close. They’re very nicely done. I just can’t see any value in them!

I spent a considerable amount of time looking at the hi-res images of the car earlier in the week. The more you looked, the more issues became obvious.
I'd like to see the quality of cage install/removal once the interior is removed. And on the basis of the corrosion of the A pillar, I'd imagine there may be other corrosion issues lurking elsewhere too (maybe not structural/MOT failure stuff, but still worthy of/needing rectification)

It's original colour of Oro Chiaro Met was an interesting (and rare ?) choice for a Vetroresina :



On the basis the auction details indicate the car's been painted twice already, any bodywork restoration project won't be the work of five minutes.

It's on 16" wheels (either originals with their decals missing, or replicas) and at 62K miles it's not going to be one for the collector.

Could be a great (and usable) project, but with prices heading south rather than north, it could prove be an inspired sale on the vendor's part ...

Had a GT4 in this colour,looked really good,also had a metallic brown one,not so good, I know the brown one is now red but not sure what happened to the gold one,hope they left it alone. When they were new people would order their Ferrari's in the colour they wanted ,they were just another new car that depreciated like any other car in those days whether be it red or any other colour.

Marrone metallizzato ? I rather like it

That's the one, i was just being to lazy to look it up,Thanks ,Looks stunning when new but unless looked after like most dark colours shows every mark and scratch and the one i owned had plenty of them having been parked in the road in central London for a few years, I think a larger car like the 400 carries it off better.These colours seem to have come full circle and i see quite a few modern cars in this or similar shades. Would love to see a new Ferrari in this colour ,so different from the norm.
