do like orange, must admit i don't know who's car that is, it's a 530 too which is good, i guess that will make up to 70 at auction.

At £78k it would cost 15% on the first £30k then 10% £48K and then a further 20%.So in total it would cost £89160.00 buyers fees work out at £11160.00 if hammer goes down on £78k sounds a bit expensive at almost £90k i think.

tony he says 78k all in i think he means including the extra charges, tbh it could be worth a good look, it may go cheap and seems a good car, i think you should be at the auction.

... or you could find out who the owner is from somebody who might know him and perhaps the buyer and seller could save some money all round which would mean only the auction house might 'lose' money as a result of the non-sale of a car via themselves, poor 'iccle diddums ...

I've no idea who might be able to put a buyer of the car together with the seller for a far smaller amount of fee money and commissions than an auctioneer would demand ...

Really. No knowledge of the whereabouts of anybody like that at all ...



Hi Andy, it was great to meet you again on Sunday after all these years - did you make it home on time for the barbie doody???

The auction house would need 30% of the mid-estimate to withdraw the car from sale. Of course that's not relevant if it doesn't sell...

It holds its own in the auction room, next to an F40 and that salmony Zonda. In there too is a 959, Daytona, a couple of gorgeous Aston Vantages and a Lagonda, looking all angry and angular! and a multitude of others




oh, and this
