July 26, 201014 yr Author comment_326481 Here's the result from the Bonham's auction at the Silverstone Classic meeting on 24th July:Lot No. 119 - 'Big Sam' - reached a Hammer Price of £70,000 - so with the Buyers Premium and taxes, the new owner will have paid a total of £79,987.50 ( that's the equivalent of around $122,750 US at today's exchange rate ). Not bad.Hopefully the car will see the track again soon....Alan T.

July 26, 201014 yr comment_326484 £10,000 above the high end of the estimate not including the extra fees. It's nice to see that only the Bentley and Aston Martin sold for a higher price. I suppose it's safe to assume that the buyer is someone simply adding a toy to an existing collection.
