£450k-£650k seems awfully cheap for such a significant and recognisable '70s F1 car. Especially when there's a '90s 911 GT2 with an average results pedigree going for £750k-£1m at the same time.
Which is interesting b/c according to this article, 2 more cars were commissioned with approval from the Tyrrell family (P34/09 & P34/10) from scratch in 2018. The 2nd car was put up for sale at £1,750,000 & was nearly identical the '76 winning example except for the rollbar.I think it's valued low because it was built in 2008 around a spare period monocoque.
I did wonder if that was the issue, but it does appear to have the correct papers to allow it to race in prestigious historic races (which it has done and won). Much of the stuff you see at Goodwood Revival are 'tool room copies', so its not like actual period provenance means all that much now.I think it's valued low because it was built in 2008 around a spare period monocoque.
The buyers agreed with you. Jody's P34 ended up at £899,314. His 312 T4 was also a huge focal point today, surpassing its original estimates as well & bringing in £6,619,472 over its initial £4.5m-£5.6m valuation.£450k-£650k seems awfully cheap for such a significant and recognisable '70s F1 car.

Failed to meet reserve, but thanks for the reference photos BaT! I learned a lot about the car from looking at them.
First Vector W8 up for sale
Is it even worth the high bid of $740,000?Failed to meet reserve, but thanks for the reference photos BaT! I learned a lot about the car from looking at them.

Genuinely asking because I was sure WeAreCurated would grab it given they've bought at least 4 Vectors now and just sold a WX3 & WX3-R (that I think they noted as belonging to Gerald himself) to the TurboCollection a few months ago.
I have always loved the look of the Venturi, kinda a better looking Lotus too
I love the photo of it with the F40.
I wonder if it's possible to purchase a Zonda like this and get it reverted back to C12/C12-S Spec? From what I understand about Zondas they all started out as C12s or Zonda Fs I could be wrong on that though.Apologies for double posting; Mechatronik shared the rare opportunity to purchase a Zonda 760 on the open market, this one being Diamante Verde featuring beautiful green flakes in the carbon fiber. In addition, Diamante Verde left the factory in this specification unlike many other Zondas that were later converted into 760-specification. No price given, expect $10m+.
Yes. It's called the Pagani Rinascimento program, where they've kept all the original molds & documents needed to completely restore the older Zondas. However, I'm not entirely sure if you can bring it back to a C12/S spec in the finish you want, or Pagani will restore the chassis back down to the exact configuration it was first produced in.I wonder if it's possible to purchase a Zonda like this and get it reverted back to C12/C12-S Spec?
