Good price for someone and an indication that the owner was keen to move it on.
Its a strange market at the moment: some models instantly achieving crazy prices while others seem very slow to sell and i wonld
include the aero's in this group. Having just watched the video it struggled to make £80k where as the porsche 964 turbo sold for £230k in a rapid pace.

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 !! & the porkers before & after went for far more, with a lot less work from the auctioneer... you pays yer money...

AeroMax registration number AR09 MAX was sold recently by a southern Dealer for £165K, so as Asbojohn says it seems someone got a bargain!

We need to wait to see on the RM auction website how much they take for the auction rights (I do not know the English word). Usually is 15%. Still half of the price that DPM motors has dreamt.

I was at the auction (in the front row no less) and I can confirm the following: - there was no free fizz available (unlike previous years) - the room was rather slow, with many lots not meeting reserve - some of the no-reserve cars went for much less than their estimate (the exception was the 'Spectre' Defender - wow!) - buyers premium is 15%+VAT (on lots below £200k). By the time you've paid the storage and transports costs you may as well add a flat 20% to the hammer price. - some cars are bought by dealers, some by individuals. To say that the price paid at an auction like this is 'trade' is to over-simplify it greatly. Many cars are sold for retail prices. - the AeroMax looked great going across the stage

if GBP80k is before buyers premium, then the seller probably got circa GBP65-68k if you take into account sellers fees of around 15%, vat on fees, and any transportation costs.

I'd rather have bought that car that than spend £92k on a new S5.....
