Is this the stuff that got seized from some guy who did not pay his tax? If so it must have been one hell of a tax demand!

[sim16v]

Rumours of €35million owed to banks and €60million to the tax man.

Flipping amazing collection and enough to flood the market and cause the market bubble to burst?!

[restoman]

Would you be brave enough to buy something? What if the guy was 'mafiosi' and when he got out of clink came round to your house asking for it back? . . . . . . . . . .

[sim16v]

There are dozens of cars i'd happily buy, plus loads of other items!

Sadly I don't have the budget, but I do plan on going there to have a look

[uk66fastback]

Think they could maybe sell them all and he'll get money back!

[Astacus]

how does one person even have the TIME to buy that many cars?

[Hugh Jarse]

thats mad!
like this and this

[V8 FOU]

Some of the estimates.....
€15-20000 for a Pantera?

This will affect the market with this many cars. All the usual Porsches, E types, etc.

Best get a flight booked to Milano.

There's a couple of very nice boats in the mix.

I was told those tunnel hulls are by Molinari.. anybody confirm?

Will be interesting to see what that Pantera sells for. Nowhere near €20.000, I'm sure of that. It's a factory GT5, and they are selling for roughly €200K. That car is in rough shape so someone may get a good deal, but it won't go for €20K

(and if it does, I'll be slitting my wrists for having let that opportunity escape!!)

Boat engines, woooaaaahhhh

But the point is with such a huge "dumping" or cars (all at no reserve) there will be some real bargains..
Perhaps enough to cause bursting of the bubble that everyone keeps predicting?
Dunno.....

[Jollyclub]

Luigi Compiano's Collection.

Great taste in cars.

The estimates are ok on some and miles out on others.

10-12K EUR for a 1971 911 2.2 S? yeah right..

Is it though? Take E types as an example, the buyers for a flat floor 3.8 are different to V12 buyers, I don't see it as a massive market flood.

Still got the Swordsman?

[tuffer]

He had 21 E-Type Jags........21!!!!! FFS, I am just looking through and will pick just one car.

[tuffer]

Right, I will have the Bentley R Type FHC please, if someone could kindly buy that, restore it and deliver to my drive that would be just great. http://rmsothebys.com/tv16/duemila-ruote/lots/1954...
If you are feeling especially generous I will also take all of the old Alfa's and the majority of the Lancia's but only if you could throw in a few Maseratis.

[lythaby]

I'd help drive them back! Bet the DK Engineering boys will be over there like a shot.

Although it's an "interesting" line of business he was in, "Treviso Luigi Compiano, former owner of the group specializing in night surveillance and transportation", Hmmm.

[Longnose]

The March F1 car looks good to me. Where else could you get something like that for the estimated value?
