Jon Hunt @ Sothebys Bonfire Night

Those are the Taxtherich100 cars yes?

Will be very interesting to see the prices if so.... given some of the videos....

 

I've always thought it was strange to so publicly flog the cars, in light of harming future values and marketability... Guess we'll see.

 

Perhaps I'll be wrong, but in today's non-conformist world where people seem to be paying up for what attracts them (notoriety included) despite a lack of accepted quality in some cases, perhaps they'll bring strong numbers anyway.

 

I think so, too.

 

In any case, he bought most of them when they were worth a good 50% less than they are now..They had fun with those cars and most likely will get more than what it cost them.

 

Is Mr. Hunt starting another collection?

He amassed quite the collection (250 GTO, 410S, etc.) some 15-16 years ago, sold it and then started a more modern collection.

 

Maybe somebody from Ferrari upset him, LOL !

 

Another collection up for sale...https://collectingcars.com/collection/mwvmnw

The black Enzo in that sale is 136733. Last sold 9 September 2017 by RM in Maranello for Euro € 2'311'000.

From my vantage point per what I'm seeing come to the market and the contacts I'm receiving, some people have decided this is a good time to cash out.

That's just 4 years ago, the F40 80746 has been owned for just over 1 year, it was purchased July the 19th, 2021.

 

Curiously, the TaxTheRich videos of the auction cars being driven in a manner that upset so many have been removed from YouTube...

His collection is absolutely absurd - 288 GTO Evoluzione and CLK GTR Roadster just to name a few crown jewels

 

Ha, interesting, not that it matters I don't think.

 

Some say we are at the beginning of big economic meltdown so this is good time to sell assets

 

Interestingly, looks like he's keeping the McLaren GTR (if this site is to be believed: https://exclusivecarregistry.com/details/mclaren/f1/3844)

 

other collections will be coming to market within the next few months, I know a few people who are looking to get rid and feel now is the time.

 

Ha! I sold my 993GT2 just before Lehman folded. It's probably worth 700% more now. Fun and games. This guy Hunt timed the mkt perfectly once before though.

Thanks for the reporting, looks like the market may be resetting a bit.
