15% of the first £50,000 and then 12% there after of the hammer price. They are at Goodwood and there are also two aircraft on the list plus some very affordable cars and some cars that will fetch a great deal more than this old girl.

Parroting the insult hat hateful oligarchs used against a woman long dead shows Chris' defiance of the powers that be! My god Chris, I can believe you are so principled and courageous. Don't ever die--we need you to lead the forces of the eternal truth!

Mar 20th, 2016 - 11:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0You must be infected from the pathogens that invade the wet straw you encourage the local numb-nuts to 'build' their houses with when you defend the likes of the whore, Evita.
Let me educate you on something that two of my female argentine friends told me about Evita (neither knew the other had told me): when she was at the peak of her pile of 'Johns' she took it upon herself to 'educate' the rest of the population about what to wear and when.
One summer when it was particularly hot my friends (much younger then of course and both would have been very good looking) took to going to restaurants in off the shoulder summer dresses. Both of them (each at different places) were told to cover their shoulders as 'The Lady' did not approve.
I fell apart laughing when they explained who The Lady was!
It seems Argentina is entranced with prostitution given that the Pink House was once a brothel.
Perhaps neither you nor the mental patient realize that for most women (not all of course) prostitution is a soulless disgrace and a life they are forced into to make ends meet.
But you don't care about that, do you?
@ 5 Stevie
Thank you for the compliment, it seems that your latest stay in the mental institution is working much better than the previous attempts.
Please try not to back-slide like before.

She hasn't gone under the hammer yet but I'll let you know how much she goes for.. A 1955 300SL Merc fetched over £841,000 (inc premium).

Mar 20th, 2016 - 05:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Coming from a difficult childhood, Evita was a complex character. She was liberal in her relationships, and the ladies with good standing in society deeply hated and envied her and called her a whore.
However, and in spite of all the contradictions of her arrival to a high and powerful position, Evita still remembered what being needy was, and set up to improve the lot of the poorest. She pushed Peron to do more in terms of social assistance to children, women and the old. She was known for calling rich business men to her office and pressuring them into giving to build senior or children facilities.
All of which was deeply resented by the Argentine oligarchy, who was and remains fiercely opposed to any improvement for the lower class. (My god, a domestic or a rural worker having rights enshrined by law? What those people think they are?).
Now, I do understand that the rich fat ladies called Evita a whore, because she broke into their comfortable life with multiple servants at their feet.
However, seeing in this day and age somebody repeating the old hateful, anti-women insult is beyond belief, and the product of a pitiful, troubled soul.
SOLD £85,000 (€109,000)
Mar 20th, 2016 - 06:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Quite a bit less than the anticipated €110,000- 150,000.

Mar 20th, 2016 - 06:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I was almost ready to believe this crap until you spoilt it by adding the usual bent-minded phrases you so love: “and the product of a pitiful, troubled soul”
You just cannot help yourself can you? Each time you snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with such comments.
Anyway I don't give a fuck about the Nazi lover who did a trip to Switzerland to help bring her Nazi friends property 'home', or are you going to spin that as well.
And comparing the whore with Princess Di is stretching it a bit (it's in a lovefest book about The Whore).
You will be claiming next that you have a brain!

Quite a bit more than Princess Diana's Audi A4 that went for £36,500...

Mar 21st, 2016 - 09:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0Another pointless post driven by illogical wishful thinking. For what it's worth let's look at this.
World book values for automobiles are only as reliable as the last sale or two when it comes to cars like the 51 Cadillac but more reliable for a 90s A4. That statement aside the two vehicles' book values minus fame value (FV) are as follows:
Cadillac: £76,000
A4: £22,500
Throw in FV. FV = the difference between book value and sale value unless within 15%. The unless within 15% is to take account of normal sale price fluctuations.
Sale prices were £85,000 and £36,500.
Therefore FV for each vehicle was as follows:
Cadillac FV: 0%
A4 FV: 47%

I think I'll take up fishing if they're all as easy to reel in as you Think. I made the whole lot up so I am surprised you only queried the World Book Value! Is there such a thing? I doubt it. In short, I put as much effort into replying to your pointless post as it deserved. LOL ;-)

Alas, your image wouldn't respond to my laptop, however it matters not: if the choices are limited to say...a 1929 Bentley ( supercharged I assume ) and a gullwing Merc, well that Caddy might as well be a boat anchor.
