Not sure how much my 'collection' might bring in.

This is the link to the cars. If I had to choose it would be the Ascona for me. Couple of interesting mk1/2 Escorts though. A bunch of Delta Integrales, Lotus Sunbeam and Manta with a Trans Sport for good measure.

from looking at the Jaguar xk 120 and the Alfa giulia spyder I might need to look at selling a couple of cars.
Lot 948 - 1991 Pontiac TranSport SE
A bit surprised on the final bids on some of the Maserati's. Contrarily the handful of Testarossas went for under €100k
Someone paid that much for a Transport?
The Euro to dollar exchange rate is pretty close right now. €1=$1.05. With that in mind, many if those auction prices don't make any sense.
This Sierra Cosworth project went for €33,600, or about $34,400. No mention of racing history, and it's basically a Mercur XR4Ti. I sure that a real Cossie engine is worth a few penalty laps at a Lemons race, but not $33,400.
This Opel GT would make a nice crap-can racer or challenge car, but €7,800 is crack pipe price.
Appearantly Hoopdie Maseratis are worth big money in Italy?

I wonder what Aztecs would go for over there?
Take a look at the road sign prices.
Alfa Romeo 75 Turbo Evoluzione IMSA. I need a moment.
In reply to Strike_Zero:
There were two in the collection.
Can someone explain the prices to me? Is there something about the European collector car market that that drives unremarkable B- grade and lower cars so high? The closing prices on the automobilia stuff was seems unreal too.
Looking through the prices all seemed on the high side, many, like the ones in my earlier posts, make no sense at all.

Too much Prosecco?
