Some are offered without reserve, so a possible bargain available in case what I presume is the Monte Carlo Grand Prix weekend is completely bereft of car fans.......

Title: Re: RM Auctions - Monaco 12 May Post by: chriswgawne on 15 May, 2012, 07:09:14 AM I though the accuracy of the RM pre-auction estimates was especially interesting. What was the buyers premium I wonder to be added to the bid prices?
Title: Re: RM Auctions - Monaco 12 May Post by: Sebastien on 15 May, 2012, 07:58:17 AM Chris,
yes, the accuracy of estimates make you wonder, especially in the case of the Flavia Zagato, where no history about previous sales exist. The prices I put above are including commission and taxes. For comparison the Flavia Zagato was bid to 170.000 EUR, the B20 to 70.000 and the B24 spider to 380.000 EUR. So the auction houses earn some serious money (and they also I think take a commission from the seller!) Also interesting is that at the Bonhams sale 3 out of 4 Lancias did not sell (a Flaminia Sport, a Fulvia HF, also alleged to be a works car, and a Stratos Group 4 replica) The only Lancia that sold was an Integrale, for 10.350 EUR. And finally there also was a Coys auction sale in Monaco that week-end, with 3 Lancias, an Aurelia convertibile, a Flaminia Coupe 2.8 and a Fulvia Coupe series III. Of that sale no results have been published (yet). |
