[Wayneman117]

I read the car was ACTUALLY valued at $12 M.

[sk8erfreak9242]

@Wayneman117 well theyre talking in pounds its 12 mil in usd

[Wayneman117]

@sk8erfreak9242 thats crazy isn't it.

[jrBenzi]

@sk8erfreak9242 there not talking in pounds, there talking in euros, they have nothing to do with out country or our sovereign, and cant be used in our country

[sk8erfreak9242]

RM Auction exemplifies class in a way that barret jackson or miecum auctions could ever dream to do. Total different sector in the market. Cristies and RM are for high end european tastes. Miecum and barret specializes in american muscle era. Stlye of auction is different. For me personally, I am totally turned off by the fast pace screaming of miecum auctioneers. Appears to attract and appeal more of the non-sophisticated audiences.

@crepepariscafespring or to people who can think fast on their feet. this is boring......takes all day to sell a car, what happens if you are waiting for the car you wish to bid on? not everyone has the time to sit around and drink wine with cheese

[123jpp456]

They should hire the auctioneer from Barret-Jackson, would spice things up.

[louiswalsh2009]

Who's the Auctioneer side kick? He Sounds like a total wankr...

[ringwormts115]

very good auctioneer

[cubsrock10997]

what the hell would they do if they do if the guy in the car dropped his gum on the seat?

[limitlessracer]

wow what a boring auction. To bad this car didnt go to Barret-Jackson.

[tamaragotswagga]

@limitlessracer barret jacks is more for classic american cars not classic European cars thats why

[tamaragotswagga]

@limitlessracer barret jacks is more for classic american cars not classic European cars thats why. this was sotherby's which is better

[radioclown85]

there is a yelloe one at the RM monterey 2010 racing history in brisil

[odracirseraoseia1999]

The guy in the car... chewing gum. Classy.

[DeLaSmooth909]

In half million denominations, wow.

[logandrummer23]

i was just thinking you could buy THOUSANDS of cars for that no just hundreds but thousands of cars think of the room you would need to store them all!

[odracirseraoseia1999]

"Thousands"? Well they wouldn't be very good, would they...?

[Corbon440]

7 Mio reserve and the seller was hoping to get 11 Mio actually.

[adamu328]

I feel for the dude in the car, having to drive it away without stalling it or bumping into any walls.

[ratt14thebests]

is 8 milion... no 9 milion

[RMAuctionsInc]

The final sale was €9,020,000 as the 10% buyers premium is included in the final sale price. This is consistent with how all auction sale prices are reported.

[fs04pro]

raced in argentina!! im from argentina : D

[againsttheroom]

Great car but for crying out loud couldn't they get a better auctioneer!!!!!

[chick5581]

i have to say i totally agree with what everyone has said so far so man i really have nothing else to tell you except that it was intertaining.

[alexander1485]

I rode in this exact car in March... for the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance!

[odracirseraoseia1999]

Post the video.

[alexander1485]

@odracirseraoseia1999 I did, its on my page... go look around

[nawitus]

I see that euro has replaced dollar as the global currency.

[dbphotos]

I think I may have one of those in my garage. I guess it's time to sell. :-)

[extremduke]
