Isn't there a 10% auction fee and Vat on top of the 300k pounds?
Actually RM have upped their prices in the UK. Anything over £200k hammer is at 12.5% +VAT. If it's under £200k you pay hammer +15% +VAT. Extortionate in my view. And no doubt that harmed the sale. FYI, when they list a car as sold that does not include the VAT on the buyers fee. This car looked well presented compared to some of the other things I saw in the room ('75 Turbo) but the overall lack of enthusiasm on the night was palpable. This was not a great sale. There are 3 more auctions (!) this weekend in Europe at Chantilly, Leggenda e Passione and Goodwood, so you sensed nobody was in a hurry to buy. If the £300k bid was real, that suggests a buyers full price of £345/$455k/Euro 376 was on the table.

The Bianco/Bianco 25th is lot 149. Vin: ZA9CA05A2KLA12608 Offered from long-term enthusiast ownership Finished in the legendary, unimprovable “launch colors” 15,708 km (9,320 miles) from new Exhaustive recent servicing by marque specialists The 25th Anniversary edition offered here has enjoyed the same enthusiast owner for the past 10 years. After acquiring it with 12,816 kilometers in 2007, he sent it to the legendary Lamborghini specialist Al Burtoni for a stem-to-stern freshening. Work also included a major engine-out service, new tires, improvements to the interior and electronic system, and installation of a protective clear “bra.” Furthermore, the Countach was fitted with two especially desirable upgrades, the V-12 Engineering carbon fiber clutch and smaller, more attractive “Euro” front bumper. All told, the work cost in excess of $57,000. Today the car reflects 15,708 kilometers, the actual mileage from new, and is accompanied by an original book pouch with warranty card and OEM Alpine manual. Also accompanying the car is a fresh CARFAX report, noting that an accident was reported in 2005, involving a minor collision to the left rear section, since expertly repaired. In its current ownership the Countach has been driven occasionally with thorough maintenance, most recently by the late Mr. Burtoni’s protégé Steve Gleaner at Driven Exotics, who in early 2017 installed a new brake system, all-new fluids, filters, belts, hood and door struts, A/C system and lines, as well as a proper and correct Alpine stereo head unit, at a combined cost of $41,093. This is the opportunity to bring one’s childhood fantasies to life, with the radical supercar of its generation.

That was my LM..with fees sold at $462K... We had no fees other then shipping....so very happy with the results to say the least. I wonder if its a world record for a LM? It was a fantastic over the top tip top condition low mile truck.
I think so. Not aware of any LM which came close to such a high prize at an auction. Congratulations!
