And you know how to sell and buy oldtimers? 23 June 2005 in London passed the RM auction Auctions-Salon Prive. Revenue trades amounted to 5.1 million pounds (internal auction rate-the 8.2 million)
A total of 57 cars and motorcycles were in the catalogue-more than 77% of that lot were sold, which is considered a good result. This success can be explained primarily by the fact that the auction-only auction of British stamps was on sale. The auction was part of the Salon Prive Luxury Super Car Show and the elegance competition. This fact made it possible to attract the additional public to the bidding. The sales leaders were the Bentley and Aston Martin brands. The leadership of such events is not about the number of lots sold, but in the cost of one. The price of Bentley Speed Six of 1929 and Aston Martin DB4 Vantage Convertible was nearly half a million pounds for each! In this amount, which the buyer pays for the car, the so-called auction fee is 12% of the hammer price of the lot. It is these percentages that make up the profits of the auction house, which also takes on interest from the seller of the car. As a rule, oldtimers are traded from private collections, less frequently from museums. The Commission shall select future lots from them, prepare a description of them and establish for them emstites-estimated value boundaries. A good result is that the upper limit is exceeded, which is not common, so auctioneers are pleased with the sale of the lot inside the Estimite. 1926. Rolls-Royce Phantom I Experimental Sports Tourer History of Experimental Rolls-Royce is very long. The first of them, with index 1EX, appeared in 1919. The auction was issued in 10EX of 1925. The body has manufactured the London Barker & Co-then such forms will be popular with customers, mainly Indian magaragi. The car was not only for the body-in 1927, on the road in Brookland, it showed a speed of 91.2 miles per hour! The final price of the auction can also be called a record price of £ 392,000 and the third place in the overall result. 1929 Bentley Speed Six Style Tourer the most expensive lot of trading results. The hammer price is £ 470,400. This car is just a replica of the Speed Six model, which was razed from 1928 to 1930 in 182 copies. The surviving instances are unlikely to be enough for everyone, so the replicas are under way. This is manufactured using the original co-preserved model 61/2 Litre (produced by 363 copies), as well as the native motor from Speed Six. The body was rebuilt in the same way as one of the three Bentley cars in the Le Mans race in 1930. 1932. Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental Drophead Coupe Any car of this age is a real exclusive. A total of 1680 Phantom II copies have been manufactured in the 1930s, of which 281 are Continental modifications, but only three chassis have been given the open bodies in the Freestone & Webb. The customer of the car with the 47RY chassis became John Lee-Baronet and Conservative MP. A few months later, John Lee ordered another Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental. As for the first car, it was paid £ 360,000 for it at auction 380.000-420,000 pounds-waiting for the auctioneers was not justified. 1933. Lagonda 3-Litre Tourer Another replica at the auction is the sports tournament of the Lagonda brand. The first fifty years of his life the car existed with a closed four-door body. In 1982, Peter Wenman, a "restorer", appeared to be too banal and dull-an open version of which was much more interesting! Thus, the chassis reappeared a newly made tourist body with spectacular suspension and small doors for the rear passengers. In this way, the car started a new life, taking part in various events, such as the Pebble Beach elegance competition in 1991, and changed several owners in two decades. One of them in 2008 even made a cosmetic restoration and had over a 3-litre engine. However, at the current bidding, the Lagonda was not in the favore-the price was launched from £ 150,000 and went down. As a result, the car was sold for 140,000 pounds. 1937. Jaguar SS 2½-Litre Sports Salon Czech actor and singer Oldrazky New today is not known to anyone outside of his country, which is considered one of the greatest entertainers of the first half of the twentieth century. Perhaps that is why Jaguar did not turn up a struggle-this is not Sir Peter Ustinov! With an Eustle 45 ,000-6, 000 pounds sold for £ 28,000! No professional restoration, no red color, no white tyres ... Hardly anyone has a desire to trade for a car that can easily be purchased at any United Kingdom collector's office at the same price, but has the opportunity to choose between several options. And Jaguar Oldrich had to be sold in the Czech Republic-there would be more active trade there. 1939. Aston Martin 2-Litre Speed Model, who were interested in the Le Mans Classic or Mille Miglia Storica, fought for this rare Aston Martin racing car. He was eventually valued at 319,200 pounds. A total of 23 instances of the 2-Litre Speed Model was manufactured from 1936 to 1939. The 727U cars were being prepared for the race track in Brooklands, but the performance of the car in the competition was a war. The car was owned by the company until 1947 when it was sold to private hands. Since then, this Aston Martin has been a participant in all historical events, and a few years ago has been restored in a workshop specializing in pre-war copies of this brand. 1955. The Bentley R-Type Continental Fastback Name of this model is deceptive. Only 43 out of 208 of 208 have become "Continental" and have been given the left handlebars. The remaining 165 remain in the UK. The majority of them with the "Pistback" atheist H. J. Mulliner & Co. This is where the presented copy was made with the chassis number BC7E. The peculiarity of the car is that the front seats were equipped with additional armrest, the Time of Trip chronograph is installed in the passenger compartment, an electric retractable antenna and tuber gel have been added. The cost of this Bentley R-Type Continental was 358,400 pounds, and the car took fourth place in the price index. 1959. Jaguar XK150 3. 8S Roadster, in view of the typical XK150 model, demonstrated at the current auction an unusual result-201,600 pounds, becoming the most expensive specimen of all his brethren. What made one of the mark-conquerors so unpurse? First, the car has never been restored and is entirely original, including the original colour of Old English White and dark red leather seats. Second, it belongs to a limited series of 36 instances with an engine of 3.8 l, instead of a standard volume of 3.4. Third, an entire folder of certificates and documents is attached to this car, and the service record of those years was the autograph of Sir William Lyons, the founder of Jaguar. Well, what else is going to warm the fan's soul? Aston Martin DB4 Vantage Convertible At the second place, the Aston Martin convertible is not so much rarity as the first owner. The 1068L chassis number 1068L has been ordered by Sir Peter Ustinov, British actor and playwright, acting detective Hercule Poirot. Since Ustinov's car was only collected on the continent, the rudder was moved to the left side. On July 27, 1962, the car was driven directly to the Montreux Palace Hotel. The color was originally white, and in 1979 it was replaced by the current Royal Claret, which could be translated as "royal blood". From the auction, the car went out for 431,200 pounds, well exceeding the estuary of 250,000 to 320,000 pounds. 1962. Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II Drophead Coupe There is no restoration of the speech-the factory paint coatings are glitting just as it was half a century ago. Mulliner's body of work is quite attracted to the name of rare-all such machines have made 107 pieces. The first owner of the presented Rolls-Royce was one of NASA's engineers, then he fell into the hands of a collector from Florida until 1990. Then the mileage was only 20,800 miles. Then there were several other owners, each of whom tried to drive as little as possible. Today, this convertible is one of the most "unused" Rolls-Royce. It is possible that the fight for it may therefore have started at 240,000 pounds, and has ended at 268,800. 1963. Bentley S3 Continental Coupe Despite the age of age, this car meets many modern requirements-here the V8 engine is 6.2 litre, 4-speed NPP, fully independent suspension, amplifier in the brake system, air conditioning in the passenger compartment. In addition to this amazing beauty of the body-coupe work of Park Ward. The series is limited to 30 copies. But this rare even in a series is installed on the left side, because the customer of the car was a US citizen. The car remained in full original condition without being restored. His final bid was £ 65,000.
