Exactly. I wasn't in the market for the car, much as I would like it, but my assessment was that the reserve was probably at least £20k, and even if it only went for that, by the time fees and expenses were added that put it at or beyond my valuation. Had I in fact been in the market for it, I would probably have decided it wasn't worth the hassle of bidding on it, especially as there is another on the market at much the same sort of figure.
Interestingly there have been very similar comments on other (non Austin) cars in the sale which either didn't sell or went for way under the published estimates. Maybe Bonhams are loosing their touch!
