Know what you mean...

If I had been offered three quarters of a million for a car like that, I would have taken the money and RUN.

Most cars were only just fetching the lowest prices quoted in the brochure so it's certainly a buyer's market and quite a few were unsold.

See: http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/publi...&iSaleNo=19293

BUT we were talking about the auction afterwards and prices may well drop further so people might not have such a good investment.

I am amazed at the small fortunes people spend on restoring some cars with no hope of ever getting their money back when selling.

Still if it wasn't for moneyed enthusiasts very few of these cars would exist today !!!

At least the car found a new home... may not have been so joyful had it been passed in
