    Bonhams Goodwood Sale. $618,000 for a 1973 911S

    Sold at auction yesterday at Goodwood. Very high price for an albeit gorgeous 911S
    Richard Hamilton was an important Pop Artist, but no Warhol or Lichenstein

    RGO 2L was, and still is, on 9113600779 which was Nick Faure's race car, originally a AFN demonstrator which won 16 out of 17 races driven by Faure.
    RGO 3L I believe was 9113600780, but i dont have any further information on that.
    RGO 4L was / is 9113601500 , originally the Chris Maltin car (although he did not have it for long) which is also still around although I dont think it was given that number until the late 80's as it had been a racer and not registered before that time.
    I dont have a record of 5L though, do you know which car carried that number??

    You are right Hugh (as often), just checked my records and I don't have RGO 5L either...

    Three years since this result

    Seems right-hand drive cars always sell for more --- Targas, too? . . .


    . . . but was the car really THAT good? . . .




    . . . or Mr Hamilton THAT famous?

    Saw a retrospective of his work in Europe a few years back shortly after his death. Something like 150 paintings valued at $200 million. So, yes, he's a big effin' deal. Doesn't surprise me his car sold for a big number.
