It will be interesting what it goes for!

[Sud 145]

Is the estimate a bit high for a non-original car Dave? Will watch with interest.

[dave.armstrong]

It could be a bit high!

I dont think I will have time to go but you can get the sale prices off their web site the next day.

Interesting!

Hello!

I went to the H&H auction today at Buxton Pavillion and it was packed with people. The Red Alfasud Ti Green Cloverleaf sold for £3500. It looked good and the paintwork was of a good quality. It was previously silver. I was close to bidding on this car but one last check under the bonnet revealed that all the brake fluid had drained away somewhere so I didn't fancy tackling that issue.

most likely the fluid had gone through the front caliper hand-brake mechanism levers.

strong money for an auction of a far from original car.

nice, lets hope the values start soaring

That was a good price then as the Buyers Premium is 12% + vat = £3500 + £504 =£4004.

£4004 will be shown as the selling price on their website and in the classic car magazines.

Especially, as it had no brakes so probably needed new front calipers.

I know where this car has gone. The buyer knows his stuff!

I would say he is a lucky chap to get this car as it looks really striking, nice interior and isn't too far off being ready for the road. It was previously registered in this country as an 'A' Reg and would be free to re-register. Someone can look forward to a saturday morning grappling with those calipers though!
