RS2 at auction without reserve, member car?

[Calcifer]

Visting the Spa classic weekend and saw a few interesting cars at the Bonhams sale. A UK registered RS2 in polar silver.

Is the owner lurking here, I may be interested to get a bid in!

Doesn't appear to be UK registered; perhaps brought over solely to sell?

As a very low mileage LHD car I wouldn't be surprised if it gets squirrelled away ready to become 25 years old.

I was offered a reasonably good RHD UK car just over a year ago for about £15k. Guess who feels silly for saying no?

Oh dear, you should have taken it that would have been a super cheap price even if it needed some work, but you know that anyway..

Yes it's UK registered.

I've been speaking to Bonhams and apparently they found it hiding in a corner when they went to take an e type and a Quattro off the owner. Those two cars were found by someone else! So I assume the actually owner doesn't know the true value?

It may still be out of my budget by far.

I couldn't see a reg attached to that chassis number anywhere. Hence assuming it may only just have been registered.

My thinking was throw 5k at it (because RS2) and it's worth 25.

Didn't have 20 grand of my own spare and boss thought it would eat too many hours and be a warranty headache. I hope it went to someone that actually wanted to use it.

Was it a Ragusa RS2?

Nope, black one.
