    Disagree. My comment is about the Ferrari market in general (after all this is fchat here) and it is not directly related to the Artcurial auction at Le Mans last weekend, but rather to all auctions in 2016 so far (where Ferraris were offered).

    Looking at the numbers of modern Bentleys and Ferraris and even Lambo in the camping (��)at Le Mans, there was plenty of money around. Of course no one that want a car need to rush, this is a buyers market today. Second , prices have to be in accordance with buyers estimate, and we will see if , like the Midy car, this one sells after negotiations . I believe so, this is a good car, and the owner has an interest ( so long he still owns it....working on tax treatment of capital gains seem to me more important than the real price he may reach...).
    Finally , one specific thing at Le Mans, all the big money and egos ( as shown by number of crashes) are on the piste at the time of the auction, it is impossible to race and bid. Of course people can give bids to others, but this is part of fun lost.

    I agree with Marcel. I would go further and say that this market is undergoing foundational changes. The Monterey/ Pebble Beach week is only 5 weeks away and will be fascinating with the key dynamic being moderate reserve(s).

    Totally agree!

    Too many auctions and all sell almost the same cars and most of this cars are in average condition (particuly cars from France, Belgium...).

    Ciao!

    The estimate for the Artcurial were really high. E800k-1.2m for an Aston v8 xpack???

    Give me a break. They did really bad. It's as fun to watch cars not sell as it is to see them go up to crazy prices.

    Its interesting to see where people see the cost price, the currency that they originally purchased the car in or another barometer, it's very hard to determine, especially in the high value cars, 6 months ago GBP/ EURO was 142, today 117 a drop of nearly 20 %.
    If on top of that people are saying cars have adjusted, lets say 20 % does that mean the cars priced in Euro's and USD need to be adjusted down 40 % or do the cars in the uk need to increase 20 %.. its not rocket science to understand why the auctions are not performing when one of the biggest collector markets the UK has seen 20 % reduction in its buying power through the depreciation of GBP.
    I personally feel the same will happen at Pebble beach as a large part go the collector market will not be present and buying.
    If GBP carriers on the path it seems to be going something will have to give.
    Would really appreciate some feedback

    The current market trends that are either a slow down or worse truly began in November last year with Keno New York & RM London and vendors are still hoping for pre-2015 prices. Yes there are some sectors that are still going gangbusters but many of the Ferrari's offered need to 20 - 30% or more off there 2014 prices. As a useful example the SWB offered by Artcurial should after 47 years of ownership have been debt free but plenty of big dollar Ferrari's have no doubt been purchased with part or full financing and require constant value increases to break even let alone make a profit. I believe in Walter's comments that there are too many auctions offering too many star lots and not nearly enough motivated vendors and the SWB seller clearly wasn't motivated enough to let it go at the high bid. Whatever affects the new post Brexit value of the sterling and dollar are secondary to this new market paradigm.

    And even some of the cars that sold were not that good. I had not too much time as I was racing on 4 grids,,,but I looked at the Alfa Romeo giulietta Spyder veloce that sold for 115k euros,,I had one fully restored by QC few years ago after owning it for 30 years so I know pretty well those cars,,,gaps were uneven, with hood protruding, none of the instruments were redone and were fully de colored , so I am sure same shortcuts were applied to the rest..means this car will need another restoration,,but only concours car for those who have never been to a concours...this is sad because people who are burnt are lost forever for the collecting market.

    I believe there is too much negativity here. When I look at the LM auction results, the only diminished interest I see is in sports cars and perhaps rallye versions. I think that could be due to the kind of venue, but ok the bears amongst us can have that. The other categories are doing well to very well so it seems.
    Fortunately a bull market actually needs bearish analysis to continue to be bullish. :D

    Agree. There is an old Wall Street saying that "a bull market climbs a wall of worry."

    To go back to the suject of this topic, this particular chassis that I know very well, sold for a very high price.

    So, when I read people saying the market is lowering...

    The market is only adjusting cause there are too many average cars for sale at the price of Concours cond. cars.

    In Europe, we are in need of Concours cond. cars.

    And there are 2 main markets ! Concours cond. cars w/ quite no price, and up to restore cars.

    between ?

    Quite nothing that sells, the desert.

    Cause sometimes, it costs the same to restore completely a car than to make Concours a very good one.

    As regards this particular chassis, at that price, the seller lost money.

    He came from a very "sane " car...
