The reserve was dropped? At the beginning of the auction an original 356 done in outlaw style came up at the same time, its currently at 50k with 9 hrs to go. Is BAT trying to protect the marque ie real vs plastic?. I also thought Lanes car would go out around 85k based on all the observations previously noted.
I also think the guy who said it was HIS car and tolled on and on and then disappeared didn't help as I think some might have thought, deep pockets here so why bother as he would just wait until the last minute and jump in.
His tone reminded me of Mr. Bansai
