Apparently, so that we don't get carried away with genorosity, Tony let me know earlier that he has reduced his letter to Santa this year down to a single item,


trouble is, its this one

who knows where this little beaut will end up!

Wonder what the reserve is set at ?
Will be a nice motor when it is done.

Bet she doesn't stay in this country. My guess is it will make £200k+. Give your estimate and we will see who is the "virtual buyer".

Ebay bids will not meet reserve so I guess bids only up to...... 185k.

Its surprising enough to even see that calibre of car on ebay in the first place, so i'm at a loss at where the bidding may go?


It has got a long way to go before it makes any records mind, which according tut'tinternet was a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT California - $3.26 million !!!!!!

Hmmm,

do these stables in Farnham look familiar too?


Barn Find my Arse!

tut tut! shameless!

£146k as of now. Yes Shrew the stables are the same. Doesn't say it was a barn find,though he finds some rare cars from somewhere.

Are we the only two bidders?

have i been outbid

Shrew, the 857s I put on the puzzle post sold in 2012 @ Pebble Beach for $6,270,000.
Google DK Engineering for the restoration. You may spot me in one of the pics.

Put your guesstimation in now Kev,play the game. Or are you gonna nick it in the last seconds?

146k with 2 days to go..........166k is my guess,

185k

Gonna stick with my £200k.

I think it will get bids just about in excess of 175, but reserve not met.




I know because I'll bid 177 but hope and pray i dont win it!

Don't even joke about it Shrew especially after a few beers.

Yes Shrew,
I remember your post last time about drink, pot noodles and late night ebay bids Classic.

lol!

now that was a post i remember quite well, and still very true to this day!


i see the bidding has plateaued slightly, but i think it will pick up again over the weekend

Good job you didn't put your bid on Shrew.

But Shrew Is the the nearest bidder. Have a virtual totally skint for the rest of your life Xmas. Just lucky it didn't make the reserve.

Ha ha!

It does look like i was the closest guess, certainly not highest bidder! Lol!

So now i suspect it will be a case of how close to the reserve did it get?

And can either the top couple of bidders be coerced into making a purchase, off ebay if course.

If the reserve was almost achieved, i suspect it will now sell off ebay to one of those bidders.

The final value charges and ebay fees would have been bloody expensive, so the vendor can afford a healthy reduction in the reserve price for a private cash type sale instead.


If thats the case, then it could prove clever use of ebays listings, if not, its just been an expensive exercise!
