[928uk] My SE - now we will see

[Simon Painter]

Auction houses are a pretty tragic place right now to sell a car. Most are selling at the lowest reserve with a lot not selling at all. The only cars pulling good prices are the special ones - first car, last car or something very rare. Yours Paul, is something very rare and I reckon it will pull a very good hammer price. I’m sure it will do well.

I’ve sold cars at auction before and it makes for quite an exciting day out!

Good luck 🤞 

Thanks

Simon.
