I believe all of that which you suggest was indeed the case (particularly since I was standing next to some of the said persons at one point). However, as I say, my guess is that the view has been taken that the fleet buyer now has a sufficiency of Rapides.

This is great news to me as I am not a hedge fund manager and would love to have a post war Aston. I hope the prices keep falling!

I think we can all dream, but unlikely to happen at the moment..

"As for the Rapides, in my opinion both would have made circa 20-30% more at the hammer if in different sales. I feel particularly for the owner of 155 in this regard. For 108, it would have made more (I think) without the obvious 'disconnect' between catalogue description and available history file."

Tim,

I find myself agreeing with you... one too many cars at the same auction, and also LR133 hanging around in the background at what ever price it is now, does not help.

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.
