In golfing terms this was an interesting auction to watch.
The opening strokes were a series of duff shots before the confident 42 bid. That swing was a carefully crafted draw out of the rough. It landed nicely on the green leaving a simple putt (with just a little bit of left to right) to sink the winner.
So where, in the scheme of 3-wheeler prices, does this leave us in relation to the M3W in the US market.
An examination of historic transactions on BaT is informative.
In summary:
• The first M3W trade occurred on BaT in March 2016
• There has been a total of 32 M3W auctions since
• Of those auctions, 26 were the 2010 + models
• Of those 26, 19 transactions were completed and 7 did not meet reserve
• The last sale exceeding this ACE was a 2016 M3W with 500 miles @ US$ 47,000 in March 2020
• There have only been 4 sales at prices above this ACE in BaT history
• The highest price was for a 2017 M3W in August 2019 for US$ 48,250 that included a custom-built registered trailer.
• The lowest price was for a 2013 M3W in April 2017 for US$ 30,000
This has been an interesting exercise
Interesting to see BaT has placed the sale of the 2008 Liberty Motor Ace 3 Wheeler in with the Morgan 3W sales database

Well, I think the real players in this auction knew what they were vying for....
There were some hopeful bidders who missed out and now start to sound like whingers
The goose who bid 21 - burst into tears when his bid was doubled - then bid 44 at the end and still lost is a classic example.

Although the winning bidder is now struggling to get it insured - been refused by Hagerty. May be they dodged a bullet. I wonder what price it would have gone for without the magical 'doubling bid' - may have reached the same, or topped out at £10K less. Interestingly the seller had allegedly previously turned down a higher offer. Bet he's kicking himself now.  Edit - I see we have a new user sign up to TM - "Liberty Ace 002". I imagine 'Talk Liberty Ace' Forum would be a fairly lonely place, with only about 9 members....
