The near-perfect old 400 that sold by Andrew Blow
At 75,000 pounds (sorry, I do not have that symbol on my keyboard), one might think they have found the car of their dreams. Perhaps. When it comes to old cars, the sky is the limit for serious collectors. Most of us would keep our funds in investments rather than pick up another car with it.
The chap that started the thread with 'cash' buyer would not attract anyone in this league, unless the funds were ill-gotten, but that is merely an opinion from an American who sees this sort of thing all the time. Personally, there is not a car that was ever made that would prompt me to consider a transaction like this. Having owned some two hundred cars in my time, I can state that not a single one can satisfy all a persons 'needs'. It was fun to collect and drive a large variety of cars. When the fun wears off, they are passed on, and usually with a slight loss.
