ON-LINE REALITY CHECK ON HOW MUCH BOUGHT WHAT IN AUGUST

These were some of the collector vehicles sold and therefore valued by their buyers on telephone or on-line, either ‘Live’ or before ‘Timed Out’ in internet auctions, during August 2020. They have been listed in order of the prices paid for them.

And in compliance with virus-spread distancing guidelines, cars being auctioned were often no longer displayed in one saleroom or auction tent, where they could be physically viewed, but were bid for and bought purely on the digital descriptions and images posted on the auction platforms.

Whether present and on-site or still at their vendors, all the premium-inclusive sums listed were therefore not their previously insured values nor advertised ‘asking prices’ (so rarely achieved in what has been a buyers’ market for some time), but their current valuations. This therefore is a real world guide as to what those in the market for a classic car are actually prepared to pay for them.

As a rare, but accurate barometer reading for a variety of stock at all price levels on the internet, why not check out the next tranche of accurately priced auctioned classics which appear on these pages every month. RH-E
