AHP 294B

Post by gvickery » Thu Sep 23, 2010 9:39 am

'EX-WORKS' RALLY TIGER AHP 294B NOT SOLD BY BRIGHTWELLS

A provisional hammer price of £76,000 (US$120,000) wasn't the right one for the vendor so this Tiger remains unsold. Presently at any rate.

Having seen the estimate rightly lifted late on from £50,000 - 70,000 to £80,000 - £100,000, I would side with the vendor in having a reasonable expectation of obtaining close to £100K (US$155,000) if not a tad more.

I just had a look at this Chinese Tiger. :wink: :D

It's probably the only rally car I've seen with an ashtray.
It was obviously a more leisurely sport back then. :D

Also, am I terribly confused or is the throttle pedal on the wrong side?

As for the price...... :shock:
I need to find some racing history for mine I think. :lol:

Any "works" car supporting that sort of history should be with one of the bigger auction houses :shock:

Ah, I see now, thanks.

I've just realised that it must be an absolute nightmare getting to "that" sparkplug on a left hooker.

Hi,

What a fantastic example. I wouldn't budge on the price either. Anyone who knows the car and its history will realise it has great value. If I only had the money :( .

Hi Martin,

It shouldn't be any more difficult than yours or mine just everything on the wrong side. It's tight, but still can be done.

Looks like it did not sell yesterday, the clone, 'evocation', sold for £9k. Lots of cars not sold at this auction.

That Alger was on Ebay for a while as well before going to the Brightwells auction. It didn't look as good on Ebay, but at least it sold and for a very respectable price. Probably not good for the poor owner of the Works 'REAL' Tiger that didn't sell.
