    I'm actually a little surprised at the reception for the car, I think it's an indication of a tipping point for Dinos. We owners and enthusiasts recognize the Dino for what it is, but this is the first time I have seen so much universal enthusiasm for a car as well as the many remarks that this is the most beautiful car ever created. I tend to agree.

    What’s the history of this car? Who did the paint and body work?

    looks like they did the mechanicals but not a lot of info on the cosmetic work or the history. This info will help get top dollar.

    Body work was completed over a period of two years by a local body shop (Van Nuys) called Kester and Queen. They do a lot of classic cars and have been my go to for quite a while working on two of my Ferraris, a Maserati and a Land Rover. The 246 was completely disassembled, doors and lids off, glass out, underbody panels removed. We spent about three months matching the original paint (visible in doors and behind rear 1/4 windows) both with a spectrometer and by eye. Car was then stripped, new metal welded over the DOT cutouts as well as some rust repair also done by welding. We determined the frame was in good condition so the body did not come off. Frame rail internals were cleaned and treated, main (center) frame was painted, paint and or undercoating was applied to inside of panels. All chassis components were removed sandblasted and sent to powdercoat. Fast Cars also stripped and painted the rear frame when they took the engine and heat shields out, inside of doors was stripped and finished, and new underbody panels were installed as well as new door hinge pins. I had a lot more pictures but can only seem to find a few, but in person, the finish speaks for itself.

    At the equivalent of just under £300K, that looks like a good deal to me. It will be interesting to see the price when it appears on their website, which I assume it will shortly.

    I agree a good deal (but I am biased.) All things considered: I think it's a fair price, I don't have to pay fees, and sold to a dealer for a smooth transaction.

    it’ll be interesting to see what Copley asks for it. How much would you say the complete restoration cost including body, paint and parts? Ballpark?

    Including car? About $450K.
    My guess is Copley is brokering the car, and charging a % rather than buying for inventory.

    Why would anyone pay copley to click the bid button when its easy as pie for them to do it themselves on BAT? They'll be selling it no doubt.

    They're not selling it.
    A buyer pays Copley to stay anonymous, and not have to deal with the seller, as well as communication and vetting during the auction. It's common with auctions of all types.

    How much would a third party charge for such a service?
