It's been up for sale for a long time at £60k but still unable to confirm this. Will try next week....

   No idea as understandably confidential information.

Yes dealers always conceal the actual selling price so that it looks like it's been sold at 60K.  The more dealers can hype the price the more money they make - I suppose we would do the same if we were dealing.
   Of course it MAY have sold at 60K if said 'personality' is a multi millionaire whereby it wouldn't have mattered if the asking price was 260K - he would still have bought it at that price.
   However, you will always get variations/distortions in any market according to the individual bargaining positions of the parties (buyer and seller) forming a transaction.
   It would be fun to see which of us can make the nearest guess of the hammer price on this one.
   So for what it's worth (and based on limited knowledge available of past realistic sales)and bearing in mind some parts appear to be missing I would end my bidding at £33,000.
   Mind you I do so hate red cars (although I like met maroon) so I wouldn't actually bid on this at all.
   So there we are £33K
   Post your guesses on what the final hammer price might be and see who's the closest.

   ...'This one' being CF 59(click pic)
   
   ...I`ll plump for £37,500, bang in the middle of the estimate!

And the value of the chassis ?  [}:)]

Based on my review of recent market prices and that at auction an incomplete (or even better complete resto project) will often make more than a well-sorted example I'll go in at £41500.

   That WAS just the chassis....seeing as half of it`s missing already, might as well strip the rest![}:)][:p]
