It's also under a seizure order!???

RM said:
Addendum
Please note this lot is currently under an order of seizure, which will be removed following the sale. Upon receipt of payment from the buyer, RM Sotheby’s will liaise with the appointed administrator for release of the seizure, which is expected to take approximately 10 days. During this time, lots will remain onsite at the Fiera Milano and collection can be arranged after confirmation from RM that the seizure order has been lifted. For lots with a current Italian libretto, please be aware that the PRA must remove the seizure order from its records before re-registration can take place in any country. This process is expected to take 6-8 weeks, during which lots may be transported to an EU destination but may not be exported.

I was there. It was a mental, and possibly a one-off. Over 80% of bidders were new to auctions (not just RM).

There were some truly horrible old 911s but the 993s and 964s weren't bad/quite good, but went for insane prices. The GT2 was a proper ex-international racing car disguised as a track-day tool but savvy buyers realised that. One black 2.4 911 S was OK, one of the buys of the sale.

You could a really good Porsche in the show next door cheaper, with all the paperwork, and also have some sort of redress.

If any frustrated bidders are reading, I'd reluctantly let my 964 targa go for £75k.

You know what it's like when you bid on eBay and keep on getting beaten at last minute? After a few of those, you say "Right, I'm having the next one!"?

It was like that.

There was a story (yes, yet another) about Italians bunging (yet more) money into Swiss gold somewhere today. Wonder if they're all trying to de-liquidise wealth into any available asset ahead of the referendum?

well buy a moody 964 targa for 85k

does seem like a expensive way to wash cash

unless the government who receives the cash gives a kick back to the buyer and a nice receipt

I guess, at least, it's a truly portable asset, even if it is a bit shady.

Could well be that some people are looking to move money into assets like this....cars are much harder to trace and much easier to move across borders than financial assets. I'm actually amazed that whoever owned these cars hadn't already "lost" them before they were seized. I suppose that would imply whoever it was wasn't expecting it so more likely they had been seized by a court than by a bank.

It was a government sale with the tax authorities involved - in these circumstances I cannot see why buyers would want to hand over bundles of cash to the authorities and expect the cars to then somehow 'disappear'.

thats just the hammer price as well... not including buyers premium on top. there some anomalies though... A daytona went for around 835k (scary), and yet an f40 only went for 1m. and then the CGT went for around 740k, again without premium included. You can go on auto trader right now and pick a CGT up for around 200k less from a proper dealership!!

No sensible Italian wants significant cash deposits in an Italian bank right now.
