Looks like a real donation, might be a challenge to make reserve.

Bid to $4100, don't know if it sold, but it's not back on inventory.

Another you-never-know, '07 Bentley Continental, likely a dealer consignment.

Parent company VW 6.0 twin turbo W12, 552 HP, period reviews claim the car can just touch 200. Your mileage may vary.
Pretty strange. Missing some bits. Wonder how much hubcaps are from the dealer.

And those wheels. Someone liked it. I look at the interior of that car and remind myself that it's just a VW, just another car, doing the same thing as every other car.

Gone from inventory, might have been the in-house used car guy wanting some free advertising space.
Even in the second decade of the 21st century there are scant few cars with A/C, concert-hall sound systems, leather soft goods and a license plate that can do 200.

Charity listings are normally called out in the auction notes.
"Starts" is in house code for something about the car would make slapping a tag on it and attempting a drive home from the storage lot leading to a poor outcome.

At Manchester, NH, "starts" includes starts, runs, and drives. It's their highest grade of functionality, clearly missing some granularity. The T5M I bought was listed as "starts" and I easily drove it all the way home... almost.

That Rolls is quite nice. Seems like a collector's car with all that documentation and official accessories. How on earth did it wind up being given to an auction house in NH? Wouldn't someone at least try to sell it on Facebook Marketplace for a few thousand instead of donating it.

That S70 has been in inventory for a while. Glad to see it's finally for sale.
