Techno Classica 2014 - some random images...

[KS]

No, I wasn't very well... feeling ill all day...




€850,000 Cabriolet, €450,000 Coupé – both sold before show opened


€850,000 RSL


Unsold...




Rallied since new...




Yes, it was a joke...




Er, well, it was a German show...


(If anyone wants to buy on of those 904 R/C models, let me know. I have one with its original box)




Makes magazines seem positively good value...



€180,000 1974 Euro Carrera



And who's to argue?

Thanks for those.

In the age of crazy prices it's good to see that Essen just gets even madder!

Who let Chewbacca onto the stand?

I need this in my lounge!

No, your wife would make you dust it!
What an engine!

Is KS a titch or is Magnus a giant?

Prices are just silly, but you always have the Chinese to consider now.

Both!

Excellent photos Keith, thanks for posting.

I believe there is another '74 Carrera there in orange with a similar price tag.

Great photos with stunning prices. Thanks for sharing those, it's a trip I'd like to make one year

[nickT]

Cheers, to what does the cool brown interior belong too ?

It's a 'Singer-like' car built by Thom. I have a load of photos of it which I'll post tomorrow...

Not the 1 million+ millionaires in mainland China yet, though - there's ban on cars over 15 years old. If that ever gets lifted, god help us...

I was thinking Mr Yang will buy a nice RS for when he visits Europe to see his daughter who is in a UK University.
Car stays here, owned by Mr Yang and kept for him by a specialist.

As you say, if that rule is lifted then goodnight nurse.

[KS]

Or, as is apparently happening, send car to Hong Kong/Singapore... closer to home and ready for the import ban to be lifted, which it surely will be...

I was thinking Mr Yang will buy a nice RS for when he visits Europe to see his daughter who is in a UK University.

My pal sold his house in Cambridge to a Chinese dude for him to use when his daughter goes to university here. It was a nice mid terrace thing for a bit over £2m.

His daughter is currently 13, so it will sit empty for the next few years.
