BB Auction 3-27 what?

that car looked very rough. in and out. makes me think the mechanical aspects are needy as well. there is 50-100k worth of work on this car to bring it to a reasonable standard.

then the rhd aspect is worth a premium BUT IN THE UK. so whoever bought it ought to renovate, AND move it to the uk for the re-sell.

 

I think those wheels played a negative role in the overall impression of the car. They looked horrible. The listing stated that they had an extra set of wheels. If those wheels were original they might have at least displayed them or spent the $500 to refinish the wheels that were on the car back to the original finish.

 

Over on the Dino thread there is someone who looked at the 210K Dino, a bondo car needding everyhting, he reckoned 150k worth of work, and thta dini prices had softened so its hard to sell a 350k dino.

Assuming the Bb was not great and needed 100k worth of work, you have your answer.

 

The Dino looks decidedly rough in those pics ...... Door/ fender lines don't line up ..... Poor repair work.
Engine and engine bay ratty.
Money pit ...... Good luck
What's the Mohawk thing on the BB roof at front?

 

One thing is absolute fact on BB's; You can not see true car from pictures, BB is a car that you ispect personally. Form pictures I have seen bad cars that look like mint and car that looks little this and that can actually be one of the best original car there are.

For excample: #23125 sold in Retromobile this year, 333,760 €
Rétromobile 2015 by Artcurial Motorcars - Sale N° 2651 - Lot N° 107 | Artcurial | Briest - Poulain - F. Tajan

I spend lot of time looking this car and from pictures it look like little faded, but in reality it was one few cars with mostly original paint and evrything just right. Little sign of use, little bend on body, but I would take this car over any fixed car. Cheap car for that money.

So is thread starter car priced right? It is rhd car and out in world of lhd, it will always be really challenging to perform overtake in trafic by lurking from wrong side of car, but if you done your lifes work in post office, then it would be perfect for you.

 

333.760 € and cheap???

 

???? the 512BB and Dino seem to be lower than what we expected ; the 512M just auctioned $462K on Mar 14.

 

Looks like the BB is back up for sale at Gullwing, $350k

I was joking. The Dino was a reported dog with fleas. The boxer looked a hair better but an rhd. No bubble bursting based on these results.

 

Does anyone know where s/n 28053 was sold to after this auction?

The car is an original UK RHD car, ordered in Argento Auteuil, but repainted in Rosso Chiaro on instruction from Maranello Concessionaires before delivery to the first owner.
