In this case whoever bought it got the price that all the dealers and interested individuals who were in the market thought it was worth on the day. Many private individuals will pay a dealer selling price for the comfort blanket they think that offers and in this case it likely would be 20k higher.

Depends on whether or not this was the Final ££

Auctions add 10/15% commission and then VAT on top of that!

So this car could finally be £95/95K if the £80 is pre costs.

That's addictive viewing - I love the drama of an auction.

The slow start to the AeroMax bidding before the two telephone bidders came in meant that the guy in the front probably thought he was going to get it for £40,000 !!
