Gallardo Balboni Silverstone Auction result

[rootsandculture]

https://www.silverstoneauctions.com/sa080-lot-1839...

Sold for £134k + fees for a 1 of 3 UK manual

It would have required a very thorough rummage around but I’m regretting not giving it more attention, having seen it previewed on Harry’s Garage.

Any views on values of these?

Believe this was Nick Whale's (the owner director of Silverstone Auction) personal car which failed to sell at a previous auction,

Harry gave his E30 M3 a bit of a plug as well .

Damien from the "The Car Guys " You Tube channel is looking to sell his Balboni which he's had from new if any interest to you.

the car market and perceptions of it is a very strange thing

[andrew]

limited edition collectors' masterpiece, lovingly designed from scratch and hand built by mr balboni himself

or

strangely detuned gallardo with poverty spec old-fashioned manual transmission and sell-faster stripes, named ( if not badged ? ) after a test driver ???

Don’t forget the fees…

So maybe £154,100?

Thanks

I recall The Car Guys being listed at Octane, but thought that was around £220k. I may have misremembered, hence my question on valuation.

Cheers

Have seen a RHD drive - not sure if its the same one - sat around for a solid year or more at 200k+ which always struck me as OTT (may have been at Octane), but a few years ago there was one for sale in Kingston upon Thames (name escapes me of the well-known dealer there!). I guess the auction agrees around the price point.
