Looking at Scottsdale results assume this is beinging of the downward spiral!

I presume you have a link to the Scottsdale results ?

Here we go, pressing the 'grid' button displays the list nicely.

Lots of Porches sold and not sure the reults herald the end of the world as we know it.

£96,000 for a 67s looks low and then you read the description - colour swap, needs thorough refurbishment....

Prices looks pretty reasonable to me.

All looks strong still . 1971 2.2t £77k 1971 2.2s £149k .... They would be more money landed in the uk

If it's 149 k landed UK can't see an upside if you are intent on trading it.

2.4 S struggle to get above 150 K these days.

Mecum Auction last week was down.

Never know it may be a blip!

Retromobile will be European test.

Ceiling could have been reached ,about time.

Note 356 is going to LMC so no trip to Brum?

John they were the US auction prices in the link above. Just saying those auction prices don't look weak to me . Admittedly the 67s looks soft but without seeing the car you just don't know ( edit.. It was a 69s for £146k)

Don't think so at all, just the 'correction' that has been talked about kicking in, where the hysteria has gone out of the market
and the dross and average crap that has been overpriced for the past 3 years is proving difficult to sell because owners
expectations are now way to high.

The good stuff, by which I mean very original, or beautifully restored, rare or limited production cars are selling very well, but
they must be right, with good provenances and documented histories as the buyers are far more discerning and knowledgeable
about what they want.

Star of Scottsdale for me was the 1976 Ferrari 308 Vetroresina, the sought after euro dry sump version, it sold for $357,500,
that's just over £250,000 at current exchange rates and a world record for the model.
