Difficult to say so far, of course, but it'll be complicated by the number and quality of cars available: The spiraling prices of late have drawn out some disproportionally great machinery, perhaps slicing the "pie" for blue chip cars a little bit fine. We may not see a truly representative picture of the vintage market by this weekend's prices alone. $.02 of Cheddar. Salt to taste.
+1 for those with an FB account Simon Kidston's page has some interesting comments particularly about the Countach and the 300SL that RM sold for good money (can't work out how to copy the link with the iPad).
You are way too early. Wait at least 48 more hours, if not more. Till final results are clear and known. Marcel Massini
Oh I agree completely, of course, hence my use of "perhaps" and "may"! In another 48 hours+ I "might" argue that a better snapshot measure "could" be the total spent among blue chip cars (ie the whole pie) rather than individual records or individual cars. "Maybe." Hope your weekend is a good one Marcel!
Thanks, has been fabulous so far. Mecum auction a few mins ago: Mike Regalia's 250 GT Cabriolet S2 just sold for US$ 2.25 m hammer to Colin Comer. Betz & Peters 375 MM spider not sold. Marcel Massini
So out of the big 3 Ferraris, none have sold for what i thought. GTO, Speciale and LM. Only waiting for the 365 Speciale. Of the modern cars, the black Enzo, F40LM and F40 sold for market (or less than ask/estimate).
With social media tools such as Facebook and twitter its amazing the lack of real-time auction results (other than Bonhams). Gooding tweets what car is on the block and sometimes where the bidding is during the auction but not the final result. Results through Friday show strong growth over 2013. Overall through Friday from all auction companies Cumulative Total: $176.3M 434/787 lots sold: 55% Average Sale Price: $405,639 Median Sale Price: $61,560 2013 Cumulative Results Through Friday Cumulative Total: $95.9M 416/726 lots sold: 57% Average Sale Price: $230,422 Median Sale Price: $47,300
