That appears to be same car that has been been for sale at Hyman Ltd. in Saint Louis forever for almost $50,000. I think was was also at action some time ago and didn't sell.
yea looks like it, the one with the brown carpet fitted around the spare wheel? I cant find any other reference to it on the auction site or am I being thick....
Still, asking to much money in the past me thinks..............
it does have a rear number plate light, its french'd in above the plate. the rear lights are TR4 and I'm lovin the front strut brace...blings the thing
I did get to drive it for a short distance as they were staging the cars, but not at speed. Met up with an interested buyer after the car crossed the block. Hopefully it will sell and stay local to SoCal. He seemed interested in addressing the non-original item.
It is hard to tell what the right value is for the car, but I agree with the seller that it was not high enough. It is a very solid car. Doors didn't wiggle and it drove nicely.
The Peerless did get some active bidding, but this was hardly the right venue to sell a limited production European GT coupe, nor do I know if any of the bidders understood what was "correct" and what needed correction, and frankly at this auction it probably didn't matter. Hot rods and 911s attracted attention.
A better venue is Monterey in August, but the little items on the car would have to be put right to satisfy those pickier but well funded buyers. Maybe the potential buyers here were trying to leave room in their budget to make corrections and flip the car. That seems to be the trend these days... No real owners, no real enthusiasts, just investors and collectors that talk about the value of their assets - boring.
