The most expensive sale was a sealed bid sale by Mercedes or the 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe. It sold for 138M Euros.

Number 2 was, what else, a Ferrari. Specifically a Ferrari 410 S Scaglietti Spyder, which Carroll Shelby once said was the best Ferrari he'd ever driven. Sotheby's sold it for 22M Euros.

So far we've had entries from Germany and Italy, now we go to France for number 3, a Talbot Lago T150C SS Figoni & Falaschi Teardrop Coupé. This has been one of my favorite classics since I saw the one Rob Walker owned. It went across the block at Goodings for 13.4M.

All four of them are beauties. Lonnie. Sometimes it's hard to remember that the French used to build some wonderful cars.

Or my Ford Anglia 105E that sold for £65 the same price I paid for it a year earlier in 1971.  :DD

Wow that's some fine Autos you've flagged up Lonny.  :good:

Just a shame I can't even raise the price of decent enough threads to be taken seriously at those auctions.  :D
