Ehh, Correct estimates? I would have bought them all for the high estimates (unless ......?) did not do my due diligence though...... Ciao Oscar
I know what you mean! I actually bought the car from Paul in the mid-to-late 1990s. It has been re-restored once or twice by its subsequent owners.
Ferrari 156 Dino Formula 1 engine Est. US$2,000 - 6,000 (Lot 98)...US$ 80,500, £51,388, 60,110 Ferrari 625 LM engine Est. US$15,000 - 25,000 (Lot 99)...US$ 326,500, £208,426, 243,802 Ferrari 555 Formula 1/2 engine Est. US$15,000 - 25,000 (Lot 100)....US$ 96,100, £61,346, 71,759
The 156 was block with no heads. The 555 seemed pretty complete. Bonhams Auctioneers : Quail Lodge Auction bottom of page, click the listing and photos appear.
Never mind, found it to be typo. Should read $429K (incl. premium), which is approximately 320K in Euros.
Very strong prices all over, especially the 365 seems to be very popular for now. Way over 500.000$ for the GTB4 and over 250.000$ for the GTC4 is huge step. Any more information about the Bonhams 1973 Ferrari 246 GTS #06290 Est. US$250,000 - 300,000 - Sold @ US$275k (Lot 184)? Car looks nice (on pictures) - compared with the other ones sold this one was economically priced IMO. There was just one 512 BB / BBi offered, any reasons about that? In europe BB and BBi are more and more sought after ...

Seems that Claude has his preferences...! But I heard that he is currently negotiating a sublime TDF....
Marcel - Thank you very much! I'm hoping the new owner will consider bringing it to the FCA National out here on the east coast next year.... gp
I noticed that the Russo and Steele results have been posted and the alloy 365GTB/4 conversion did not sell. I called to ask what the reserve was and I was told $885,000.00. That is a pretty high number. Mike Sheehan sold that car a number of years ago. If he is "chatting" I would like to hear his comments on the car.
Did anyone notice that this car now moved to Talacrest stock together with the California 365 and the now re sold MD? Seem that auction prices are not enough to attract buyers,,,they need to repurchase from trade??
Many people prefer, and are more familiar/comfortable buying from a reputable and knowledgeable dealer than from an auction house, even those with the excellent reputations of Gooding, RM and Bonhams etc. Different buying experience/process. 500 TRC details here: Ferrari 500 TRC*-*For Sale At Talacrest 365 California Spider details here: Ferrari 365 California Spider*-*For Sale At Talacrest 0690 MDTR in 1998. What a beautiful racket!!! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9bCUFz9hFE]Ferrari 500 TRC - YouTube[/ame] Now restored in yellow/black. Image Unavailable, Please Login
The sound of a wrong engine? Killer car 4 sure. TOTAL Bitsa VERY little original content. 500TRC s/n 0690MDTR
Unfortunately, nobody at the moment. Are there any reputable UK dealers on here who are looking for a professional, enthusiastic, diligent and totally dedicated salesman with excellent sales/negotiation skills and product knowledge, classic and modern?
