£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.

I think it's valued low because it was built in 2008 around a spare period monocoque.

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.

This Tyrrell P34 continuation is a six-wheeled dream machine - Hagerty Media

One of two Tyrrell P34 continuation cars built from scratch with the blessing of the Tyrrell family, this extraordinary race car is up for grabs.

It led me to see if any of the other cars have ever been publicly sold & I found this article from the Daily Mail circa 2012 citing the example featured was worth £750,000 back then.

'The most radical ever' F1 car goes on sale: Tyrrell's iconic Seventies six-wheeled racer on the market for £750k

The unconventional six-wheeled Tyrrell P34 was conjured up by engineer Dave Gardner in 1976 for the iconic British F1 race team.

I assume today's value with be near £2 million, then give how crazy valuable historic F1 cars have gotten.

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.
 
No price on it, but this is for sale.

I love BaT. Not only does it let me kill time effectively while I'm at work, but it's so fascinating getting basically reference photos of super rare cars like this. Where else would you get photos of a ZZ-S that shows the insane shift linkage:

Front and center.

Here's an M12. Have you ever wondered what monstrosity of a rear subframe the M12 needed to fit an engine massively larger than the one originally designed for the body?

Here you go!

I’ve always amazed at how relatively little M12s are listed and sell for. As rare as they are, the cost never seems to creep much above 200k; I’m guessing there just isn’t the demand for them. I’ll always have a soft spot for them, in all their gaudy 90s glory.

Speaking of Tommykaira…

I saw this pop up today & it instantly sparked a memory from my childhood; I remember seeing this car decades ago in a video game about Lotus'. It is noted as a running, fully working example built off an Elan a customer returned. No price given, but Bonhams did have it offered 12 years ago at £80,000 - £120,000, so I assume it's still around that value to £150,000+.

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.

Failed to meet reserve, but thanks for the reference photos BaT! I learned a lot about the car from looking at them.

Is it even worth the high bid of $740,000?

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 to be honest, and admit that the girls made it more pleasant to look at the photos, I barely saw any cars there...

WeAreCurated just took inventory of Shelby Cobra Concept. This car sold for $2.64 million a few years ago, probably worth $3 million now.


Additionally, Curated also took possession of the Diablo Jota race car that was seen racing in the JGTC (I believe?) & will have it up for sale after a restoration at the factory.
 
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+.

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.

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'd wager this specific car would probably not be reverted by Pagani since it was one of the last Zondas built in 2017 & left the factory in this exact spec.
