Amici...
The current issue of AUTOWEEK talks about the recent 2011 RM London Sale held
at Battersea Park.
As usual, there were a bunch of multi-million dollar Ferarris sold, and other
interesting stuff. including my
all time desire for a 1965 Aston Martin DB5, which sold for $604,072.00.
But what caught my eye was the opening three sales. Billed as "Property of a
Swiss gentleman" three
common TRIUMPHs were sold. Not Class 1 condition, but described as 'nicely
presented' they all sold.
The 1959 TR3A for 59,506.00, a 1962 TR4 for $59,506.00, and a 1967 TR5 for
$52,293.00. All the prices
surprised me, but mostly the TR5, which I considered the most desireable (but
I didn't see them).
WOW!
Next time my wife complains about my TRIUMPHs, I'm gonna say, "What are you
talking about? We're rich!"
