IH8TAX the other day and in Wellington IH8ANZ on a beemer, someone must have peed him off!

 

If anyone has been looking at heritage plate prices recently, there is an Shannons auction in under a month with estimated prices not surprising given the economic climate.

Here's what they have on offer:
VIC
[276], [312], [369] estimated 50-75k each
[557], [602], [771] est 45-70k each

TAS
[85] and [86] both est 10-20k each

Will be interesting to see how much they go for. If I was in a position to get a 3 digit plate I probably would.

Regarding interstate plates, does anyone know what the rules are regarding rego in another state? I see both SA and TAS heritage plates driving around here in Melbourne every now and then - does that mean the owners have properties in the respective states, register the car to that interstate address but choose to park and use it here in Vic? I wonder how the insurance companies go about working that one out...

 

[MY ISF] on a IS F nice blue.

 

you've seen one? how'd it look and sound?

 

Like I said nice blue Thought I was looking at a California, you know the exhausts and all

It was parked so no noise. Tho a red 599 drove pass at the same time, that sounded nice

I'd say the plate is worth more than the car

 

Have a few friends over this w/e? Scuderia, '4', whats next? F50?

 

vroomgt took me for a spin in one of these, the PCM is scary good

still not a lover of the marque but they are impressive

 

Not my place, guests at a lunch over the weekend.

 

True; but I couldn't see me buying one.

 

a 917-30 might be worth the effort

Don't remember what, I was thinking I miss Pap

 

There used to be a driving school car getting around the northside of Brisbane with the plate [O I CRY] , , haven't seen it for a while.

 

Yes, 4 exhaust pipes

 

Sell prices for those interested:
VIC
[276] - 77k
[312] - 63k
[369] - 63k
[557] - 40k
[602] - 41k
[771] - 41k

Tas
[85] - 8.5k
[86] - 10k

Thoughts?

 

I was thinking of lodging a phone bid on 276 as I have 275. Wouldn't have paid $77k in the current environment.

As always the better/lower numbers hold up best when things get tough. Overall I think the results were ok given the economy ATM.

 

Saw

CSLM3 on an X5. Bit weird.
