ugh, now we're losing the '62 TR!?

I know this has gone to auction before but wasn't sold for whatever reason, but I hate to see us (Louisiana) lose this rolling monument...

I think it was sold sometime ago actually, I could be wrong.........

 

Last I heard it was still in the same hands but that was probably mid 2006 when I inquired about it.

 

Check entry list of the Cavallino Classic 2007, IIRC it was there but I don't recall the owner......

 

No it's still locally owned

Well, as of now at least.

 

Good to hear!

I dunno where I picked the bad info,....my apologies!

 

Hope it busts the estimate. Last RM auction in Marenello didn't go well for selling cars - search the archives.

But sad to see it go.

On the upside I imagine it will be replaced with something else quite tasty to look at.

 

Precisely

Staggering.

 

Prior to this auction, wasn't it bought for $8.5M-ish? Been a while so I could be wrong.

I will recall this car very fondly...

 

Anyone care to comment on what will be (or already is) occupying the former owner's garage now that the hammer has fallen?

 

It was very empty last time I saw it.

Whatever comes next will be swell.

 

To bad the pictures don't come with a sound track or allow you to smell the exhaust.

I don't think it will be replaced with a Kia or Geo.

 

You sure?!?!?
I saw a sweeeeet Metro Spyder sittin' on Dubs out of Airline last week!
