    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    That final price includes the Auction house premium, which for RM is usually 10%, and is converted from Euros so I would predict his final bid at approximately 6.4mil Euro, give or take 100,000.

    RM needs to shout around about one success because most of the rest didn't live up to expectations...

    And a 2009 F149 California will sell in 2012 for $10,894.90.

    I am not sure this was a particularily great buy. This Cal Spider had been pranged in the rear and the engine number was non-matching.

    Yep, it is by far not the best California out there.
