    Jean Blaton’s pseudonyme was Beurlys , he was a wealthy talented businessman, a musician and driver
    From 2005 he was obliged for financial reasons to sell his fantastic car collection.
    I remember his races and his presence .
    Some of my really good friends used to race for him on some fantastic cars.
    He was really generous.
    The end of his life was really hard.

    He used to be in real estate. But he also was a regular and notorious visitor in casinos. And towards the end of his life his former wealth had more or less completely disappeared.
    Jacques Swaters told me more than once how he had to help and financially support Blaton in his later years.

    We don't think so, we think the result achieved by 94528 was an outlier, and we predict that the upcoming 80761 with similar miles https://www.artcurial.com/en/lot-1989-ferrari-f40-4134-161 crossing the block on March the 19th with an estimate of 1,300,000 - 1,600,000 € or @ $1,438,000 - $1,770,000 will re-set the average value of an European F40 down and reset the value delta between Eu and USA cars.

    we shall see.
    if that owner absolutely needs to sell then perhaps.
    but i doubt he is willingly going to lower his price by 1 million otherwise.

    F40 80761 at Artcurial Paris 18 March 2022 comes from the estate of a deceased Monaco resident, Etienne Léandri, interesting personality, google him.

    Monaco has always been a sunny place for shady people.

    so said Somerset Maughm :)

    my other favorite quote was from some old lady in monaco observing the gp in the 50's and said this was just an opportunity for gentlemen to act like mechanics and mechanics to act like gentlemen....or soemthing like that.

    Looks like today’s F40 was purchased by a dealer from what I’m told

    I believe the seller of 80761 is motivated.

    It's not a question of lowering his price, the estimates have been set based on a realistic appraisal of the overall marketplace, and the outcome will simply be determined by how much someone is willing to pay.

    Love that this car is here in the USA now, we tried (unsuccessfully) to buy it from the current owner for a client who loves Ferrari Supercars formerly owned by Ferrari F1 drivers.

    It was purchased by a dealer acting on behalf of a mutual client.

    Pic taken at the parking garage of The Ritz in Amelia? Looks like a rathole. Poor car!
