    So best case scenario the seller got the $820k hammer price, so add in sales tax and insurance and other costs from new and premium is pretty much gone.

    Mike Sheehan is doing a nice series on the Ferrari F1 cars. These pre-turbo cars are regarded as able to be used without requiring a complete support team.

    As far as Lauda versus Shumi and Senna, Lauda was considered the top of his class at the time and would have had an additional WDC if not for the accident. Might have had multiple more, and almost had one with the B3 - talent was not the problem.

    A racing legend, yes. But not as embraced by fans as Shumi. I mean, when your nickname is 'The Rat', ....... and so, are your former race cars going to bring the very highest price? probably not. Again, $6 mil not bad.

    Looked reasonable in the pics, probably not a Platinum car, however, and it is not a time-capsule either, so the estimate (if met) would probably have represented a tangible up-tick in the market.

    Wish I could have made it out there to see exactly the actual condition of the various Daytons for myself, but my guess is that this car may not have been as nice as it looked in the catalogue. If that is the case, $577k-all-in for average car is not *that* far below what the market has looked like all year...

    So the sale price may not have been all that off, but nevertheless, I would not be surprised if there were some seller’s remorse here.

    Hilarious to listen to ten Holder say $13 million and the screen showing $30 million. Indeed at times it sounded like forty and fifty but when it got to seventy on screen I thought not even Porsche fanatics could be that crazy. High teens was all the money surely, may have been less than the seller wanted, but take it and run, unlikely to get more next time.

    Yes, I thought it sounded like the auctioneer said the bids were at $70M. They were getting very excited and noisy in the room. Then reality was realised and everyone came back to earth!

    Tonight at RM.
    I was in the room. Martin ten Holder was saying “thirty, forty, fifty, sixty” until it reached 70 and he pronounced “seventeen”.
    It was ******** !
    The perfect postscript for a disastrous week in the market.

    I count about 50 lots "still for sale" from RMS.

    It looks like the Gooding website hasn't been fully updated yet.

    On the internet it sounded more like thirty, then thirteen, fourty, fifteen, sixteen and seventeen. So totally crazy and the live dollar amount was showing it as $30, $40, $50 etc. I actually believed that a Porsche fan would pay $30, maybe even $50 million but realised it was a f..k up when it went higher than that. Didnt help that my internet feed was giving me the audio but the video froze half way through lol

    Sure it did but the Porsche Typ. 64 was given no official estimate, just the old "on request" BUT all marketing said $20 million or more so if the $17 was legit, it should probably have sold. Especially at the $70 million RM showed on screen!

    I wouldn't be surprised if the owner of that Porsche had some very strong words with RM about that auctioneer. He sucked the air out of any bidding after that disaster. He was so unaware of what was happening it was surreal.

    He blew it.

    I don't think it was disastrous for the market at all.

    I think two things (continued) to happen.

    1. insane, inflated, out of control estimates continue to roll out to clients listing a car with an auction company. Nothing makes you feel better than seeing the "experts" put a large number on your car. These numbers mean absolutely zip if there isn't a buyer in the room, on the phone, or nobody cares...

    2. Realistic cars, with good provenance and limited stories, sell for realistic money, to realistic buyers, listed by realistic sellers. That's how it all works.

    The rest is blowhard fluff perpetuated by big money, big business, and the sneaky art of shilling.

    PS. ask me how I really feel :D

    The F1 was sold for $18. Estimates don't include the 10% fees so it was about 15% off the low estimate. Unless something changed and all-in fees are part of estimate values now...

    I just find it funny to have watched since 2011-12 time frame, we've gone from cars selling for OVERESTIMATES to selling in the sweet spot of estimates, to now "underselling" the estimates.

    Gooding just needs to manage expectations better. Oh, and they ALL need to be less greedy, then no one would cry about terrible sell through %'s lol

    In going to auctions for over 50 years, I am 99.5% certain that there was no "High Bid" there. The terms of the auction state that the auctioneer can bid up to the reserve by placing several consecutive bids on behalf of the seller. So even though we heard 13, 14, 15, 16, there could be no actual bids at all. The reports that state "High Bid of 17" means nothing at all.
