STOP PRESS: The Austin Healey '100' Special Test Car, NOJ 393, sold for
#843,000 or $1,324,000US inclusive of buyer's premium, at Bonhams auction on
Thursday.
Based on a report by Graeme Hurst of Classic & Sports Car, NOJ 393 was bought
by a Continental collector at the auction after the collector went against
another bidder on the floor, and one on the phone, to secure the car. The
buyer indicated that the car would be restored in the UK.
Now there is a rumour that NOJ 393 has sold again to Australia for #1.2m or
$1,885,000US [using the same exchange rate]. If true, what a quick buck to
make.
Can anyone confirm or refute this 'rumour'?
