Re: Interesting Carrera to be sold at Bonham's Auc

: ooops sorry for the previous sprurious post!
What I wanted to say is that I will try for it but my in my experiance prices are highly inflated at these events.

: Bonham's Auctioneers is a leading London
: auction house that specializes in vintage
: and historic automobiles. Each year, two of
: Bonham's big events are auctions at the
: Grand Prix weekend in Monte Carlo (June) and
: the Goodwood Revival (September). At these
: two events, Bonham's also sells automobilia
: and auto-related watches.

: At the auction to be held at Goodwood, on
: September 5th, this Heuer Carrera will be
: auctioned (photo used with permission of
: Bonham's).

:

: I don't know the actual history of this piece,
: but it certainly looks like the real thing.

: I believe that Bonham's accomodates absentee
: bidders; I do not think the catalog for the
: Goodwood auction is available online; check
: the Bonham's website (linked below) for
: additional information.

: It sure would be nice if one you the
: "Heuer guys" added this one to his
: collection. I assume that the "car
: guys" / "McLaren guys" will
: be chasing it, but it's always difficult to
: predict who will show up at these events (or
: bid on an absentee basis). Those cars guys
: probably don't have any money anyway. Come
: on -- somebody bring this one home for the
: OTD crowd!!
