Subject: Re: 1953 Brooklands 2.6 /3.0 litre dhc Two different cars as we know, history and famous people make as a big difference. How were prices at Goodwood this time depressed post-Brexit ? If a member of the trade has bought it, he got a good buy and will be interesting to see his mark-up.

Subject: Re: 1953 Brooklands 2.6 /3.0 litre dhc Er, famous owner? I don't think a car dealership loaning a car to a famous person for a couple of years is the same thing as ownership, do you? Famous first owners commission the cars concerned and that's what should give them added value, in my view (and considerably so in certain cases e.g. film stars, racing drivers, directors of the marque concerned, etc.). If the buyer of the NP Bonhams car paid much of a premium on the 'loaner' basis, it's a matter for them of course (but, personally, I think it a daft thing to do). I rather thought that the NP car did well because it was a very good project car and a rare beast in its own right. The modest Fangio connection was (for me) just the icing on the cake.

Subject: Re: 1953. Brooklands 2./6 /3.0 litree dhc Absolutely stunning. I can see this achieving £225-250k. And at that price I still think it's a bargain.

Subject: Re: 1953 Brooklands 2.6 /3.0 litre dhc It just scraped over the reserve line (2 bidders) at £100k + commission. I think the successful bid came from a well known trader. I must say, I thought the auctioneer rather dramatically underplayed the car in his introduction. Anyway, it was very cheap compared with the price achieved at NP in May for the project DHC.
