The seller would only get just over £95k after commission, fees and transport are deducted.

A very poor return if you deduct the work carried out on the car. I would guess he lost a bundle .

The power output went against the car. Unless you are a fairly serious competition chap then its useless. It looked a nice car and it was an Evo. I thought it would do more.

Sold for £111 and someone bid £110. Doesnt feel right and I have my own thoughts.

There were some rather large panel gaps on the car and the rear clam wouldnt open fully, little things that just make you think whether you should be parting with well over 100k

The Evo makes this look fair value.

Dont know the story . It looks like some shill bidding going on, which is off putting but I suppose bidding off the wall is no different

Looks alright, not many pics though, i might even have punt myself if its a genuine car

I think this is the same fella that was trying to sell the RS book on ebay about 2/3 weeks ago.

Hi Claudio
Thanks for letting me know about the Focus,that means iam a very happy guy
Jim

Thanks for the update on the auction, I wonder who the new owner is ?

You are right, it looks like it is Phillipe using the same Ebay account he used to sell his book which, incidentally, was withdrawn from auction prior to it's end and all bids cancelled. It had got to about £36 and I guess the self publication costs alone for that via Lulu.com were more than that !

That 6R4 auction looks a little suspect to me, look at the bid history, one user with a zero feedback is pushing it up. I can remember when the controversial #076 was on Ebay, the same thing was going on then.

Yep, i did think its a bit suspect as well, i have sent the seller an email asking for further info and photos, havent heeard a thing yet.

The two rs500's at coys i thought sold as the auctioneer normally says not sold if a car doesnt reach reserve.
It Looks like the owner hasnt actually sold them after all

claudio

The guy selling the 6r4 is a well known dealer from Monaco and he knows his cars. Dont be taken in by the sparse description.

He isnt giving out chassis or any other info, just an odd titbit so do not understand his game plan. The bidding is very suspicious indeed.


Car may well disappear before auction ends.

Isn't it interesting that there suddenly appears to be this huge flurry of activity on the rs200.org website over the last week? I have never seen so many posts in such a close proximity in a while. Everyone comes out of the woodwork whenever money becomes the subject matter! In this case how much this car or that car is selling for or sold for etc.
Hey even the replica guys come out to say their car is now worth 10k more! Ah the smell of money, I guess does that to people.
C'mon guys, dont' just come on here for the money discussions! Don't you think Justin?
The website is also about the joy of cars you know not just their value

Well i posted some questions about having a problem with leaking brake fluid resevoirs and asked for advice, the only person that actually bothered to say anything was Klaus who wished me luck with the issue

If some people are only interested in talking about money, what things are worth etc, whats wrong with that, its better than no discussions at all
