xlr - thanks for the reply -
that's my point ... if the car is listed at 60+K sticker, and it's a rarity on top of that, AND it's at 50K+ with 8 days to go at auction - what is all the hubbub about !?
Once it reaches sticker price, what has officially happened? You bought it over the internet other than directly from the Kirkhams?
Is the car a one-off unavailable to order from Kirkham after this week?
I guess if the winning bid comes in under sticker, that'll be interesting. But unless this is an unobtainable rarity, I still fail to see the advantage of jockeying to pay exactly what the builders are asking for at the factory.
I'm not trying to be cheeky - I just don't get it. Color me dumb.
