  • Silver S50 LHD at auction

    Spotted this today. One lot in an amazing looking auction. Apparently the whole collection was confiscated by Italian government...from one crook!

    Some amazing cars!

    Very low mileage

      That is an amazing collection of cars, all sold under one roof, and the whole lot sold without reserve.

      The whole collection was owned by Umberto Compiano of Treviso, owner of a group of companies ("Vigilanza Compiano") in the cash and valuables transport business.
      Unfortunately he borrowed millions of Euros from one or several bank(s) for his business, but actually used the money to compile this amazing collection of toys... The auction is now held by court order, it's a bankruptcy sale.

        I wonder whether the mileage (kilometrage?!) is genuine. The steering wheel airbag cover seems a bit too discoloured but perhaps that's due to the sun from the hot Italian summers (...certainly not wanting to question Mr. Compiano's integrity!).

          My steering wheel gets the same way after a few months of storage, the wheel goes slightly white as if the plastic dries out.

              And sold for 64960 Euro inclusive of buyers premium and charges.
              The auction (490 lots) realised 50 million Euro which should get the banks off the vendors back surely.
              TBH the cars looked mostly average in the photos and I'm surprised at the prices some of them fetched but guessing that this is the result when a skillful marketing campaign is based on a "No Reserve' scenario.

              It was interesting to watch!

                          I can get to the home page but not the article which may need you to be logged into the site?
