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