That is a fair result at auction and should tell us we have valuable and sought after cars.

Remember the proceeds for the seller in this case would only be £17,860.

Oh yes Chris. I'm saying its a measure of what people will pay, not advocating it as a good way to sell.

No, it's always going to be the least favourable way to sell, with that in mind, I still agree with you that it is a fair price.
Being properly registered would count for lot, or it should have done.
Anyhow, 'good to see an 'acid test'?

Quite a pleasurable day out anyway!

Stuarts car looked very well and attracted a great deal of interest and ultimately went for a lot of money.

The auctioneer (wearing it has to be said, the nattiest headgear I've ever seen on a rostrum) started off at £12000 and in the blink of an eye it was up to £16000 with a flurry of bids from the floor and online.
I never even raised me card!
Nor did I a few lots later on the 911 my mate was interested in.
Ironic really as the rest of the lots, bar these two, struggled to make their guide prices in general and many bids were marked down as provisional.
Sad that someone loses their car in this way but goes to show that if you need to raise cash at some point then we have valuable assets in our garage.
Good luck to the new owner. Not a face I recognized but maybe someone from here or someone who will be along soon?

For sure it´s a good price for a nice car registered and ready to drive
A good bargain for the new owner who surely will enjoy with the Stuarts car!

Oh! I forgot to add, but can't resist doing so now, that no-one had legal representation with them to ensure good title to their purchases!!!

What it means that the new owner could have some trouble for registering the car John?

No, Frederic. No problem at all.

Looks good

It did look good Phil. Livery was all paint.
It was a good build by Stuart, pretty basic in that it was just the Napiersport kit bolted together. Not much else. It it still looked pretty much as new. Not done many miles of course. Less than 3k since registered it looked like. Toyo tyres looked like the original ones.
Had to grin at the efforts of one interested party who was wrestling the doors up and down at every opportunity so as to emphasise how flimsy they were to anyone else looking!
