Looks like a 348 - ahh wait, same era

 

KIAI strikes again!!!

 

It does alright. Those 'door strakes' and rear 'light grill' are a dead giveaway.

I'll get back to you.

 

Haha google at 20 paces

 

**** google.....I'll ask Carl.

but....I think I was wrong this time....TBC

 

Bookmarked

 

Lol

 

Ok...Carl has confirmed that I'm a little confused.

When do you pick it up ?

 

Surely Aircon can't ever be wrong? I thought that was one of the immutable laws of nature???

 

Around AU $44M!! Absolutely amazing money for a car!!

 

I know! Clearly you're as surprised as I am.

 

Fair money for a very historic car with competition history and great provenance. Better value than a Van Gogh or similar for twice as much. And much better looking. Been to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and while it's interesting to see the pictures, a 335S is a better looking thing.
(Note - one of the gifts in the museum shop is a keyring shaped like an ear...)

 

Great result for a wonderfull car, which makes a bit of a mokery of a comment by a local auction house after their review of the Scotsdale 2016 auction results with the comment the correction is on its way, maybe in the US, but obviously not Europe.

 

Poor KIAI.

 

We hear you.
