RM Auctions. Paris sale.

[Emtee]

Some interesting results coming out of the sale, which you can watch live on YouTube...

A Mistral went for £118.5K, which seemed a little low, with a Sebring series 2 selling for £115K which seems about right.

A Stunning Ghibli Spyder 4.7 went for a cool £364K and a lovely yellow Lancia Stratos HF Stradale reached £264K. Stratos values seem to have gone, well stratospheric!

Interestingly a Mangusta sold for £115K, so they're on the move, but conversely a lovely, but quirky 250GTE 2 + 2 Series 1 went for what seems like a bargain at £172K. 'Tis a lovely, but oddball car, but for me, one to watch.

I would have bid on the Stratos, but the wife nicked me credit card.

Haha, just sold for £88k. Such a lovely motor car, sorely tempted.

Another of my favourites, an 037 has just gone for £300K and a stunning ISO Grifo A3/C Stradale in Kermit green for £700K.

Horses for courses. No pun intended. I know which I'm more intrigued by. Ferrari are just an investment commodity nowadays, nowt to do with beauty and respect, just making money.

 

[Emtee]

I do like how Artcurial are displaying the collection...

 

[jluis]

I'm so keeping my 3200 for 30 years.
It will be my retirement plan

 

[RobinD]

Looking forward to seeing the cars go through today, not sure many will be in my price bracket though

 

[hodroyd]

It's intriguing they are leaving them exactly as found and putting them through the auction, no cleaning no nothing, I might just watch it for the giggle..!!

I might bid on the Singer Roadster, see how we go on..??

 

[Contigo]

What do we reckon the Maserati A6G 2000 Gran Sport Berlinetta will fetch? I reckon over a million Euro's.

At least, Auction will have world wide attention
The Ghibli Spider will be interesting this evening. Lots of chat that its a fake and they have cloned another cars chassis number

 

[hilts uk]

Looks packed in there. First one gone for €9k....

 

[Contigo]

Jeez some of these look so far gone they are proper demics especially the Talbots and Delahaye.

 

[hilts uk]

Yes nothing left. You are buying a chassis number and thats it. My French is getting better through...

 

[EVOeng]

Some very big numbers already - Estimate: 1500-2000 € for a 1923 Voisin Type C3 and sells for 44,000 € plus fees.
The Delahaye 135 M cabriolet with an estimate of 100000 - 150000 € sells for 360,000 € plus fees.

 

[Contigo]

Wonder what the Porsche 356 SC will fetch.
