Nice pictures Hugo! Must be an great event to visit! I have seen some familiar cars in your pictures. The Ex-Prince Bernard Ferrari and the Daytona are well-known for Dutch enthusiasts.

Hello Hugo!

It's surprising to see that a lot of cars including some Ferrari's didn't sell during the auction while the top cars like the Bugatti fetched 3 million +

Not realy a surprise. At this time only the outstanding cars are sold for real money. Bugatti and one-off or race Ferrari's still make good prices. I talked in Paris with one of the RM auctioneers and he said the same, it's difficult to sell "average" cars.

Don't be surpriced when the 250 TR at RM in May will be a record breaker!

Can't agree more ... anyway this means a lot of so called "mid priced" cars are now getting into reach of the public which is great IMO....
