£66.5k

Snapped up? Exceeded the guide price?

Do they mean the same car that's still on autotrader at £73k?!

Generally the story is "Ferrari sells for the going rate!" lol

Compared to a Focus or a 3 series, it is.

Plus, there can't be too many UK 575's in giallo?

With the buyers premium of 10% whoever bought it paid what it was up for and as Nick Whale owns Silverstone Auctions he made what he was after on the car.

Never understand why the owners make a difference on the value, a few years ago a bought a 3 month old 550 and once I'd bought it found out it was the one Beckham was stopped for speeding in. Can't see it adds to the valve myself?

Must say having seen the car at the auction on Sat though it was a perfect example with all the best options so was bought for about the right market value.

It didn't sell at Brooklands a month ago. Tbere were several cars in the catalogue that seemed to belong to the Silverstone Auctions team...

Hammer was £ 60500 plus 10 % buyers premium plus VAT = £ 67760 - I heard the guy drove it home

That was a lovely looking example.

Is anyone aware of what the immaculately restored Jaguar 4.2 XJ-C sold for, think the owners said there was a £15k reserve on it?
