Wink Re: Xy gtho

im not convinced there are so many ppl willing to shell out such numbers for an aussie muslce car. so many of these cars the public believe get sold, only for the cars to reappear a short time later/ the elec blu ph3 is a gun car but im not convinced of the auction houses and the sales supposedly occurring.....

Wouldn't be the first time owners of rare cars fluff up the market via auction

how much scrutiny are auction houses for these sorts of items under i wonder....because if they are chandelier bidding things up they would be bringing lots of attention to themselves.

I know most of us would already consider these cars a work of art, it seems the new owner does as well. I don't think this one will ever be on the market again!

I thought it was great that they managed to get the original owner in for a chat, it must have been a surreal experience for him to sit in the car again after all this time.

It's a little unsettling seeing it in there, kinda like it's in a mental institution, but seems fitting at the same time.

And the Chinese have already copied it and first cars off the assembly line due in 2 months.
