Subject: Re: Lagonda's for sale at AML Bonhams auction on the 17th of May
Sorry, been away 2 weeks and just seen this thread. I had a close look at 155 because a friend from previous work was interested (he has an X-pack and an NP Vanquish) but sadly he was too big for the car, at 6ft7. I think whoever bought it got a good deal, but I suspect its history did not count for much in the end, and maybe patina and originality were negatives on this occasion. I'm afraid I don't recall if either car was bought in the room (3 digit number) or by phone (4 digit). I share others' views that the fleet buyer bought neither car, having enough...also interesting that none of the previous correspondents signalling potential intent here have chirped that they have bought either car. In any event the sale might tend to confirm that 133 has so far been priced rather ambitiously, and it will be interesting to see how 101 is priced.
