@MadInventor great thanks for the information, we will see if the auction house can update the description.

@Moonraker1 lot 396 looks like a Hornet and a Vanquish, not Grasshopper.  A Vanquish would have a lot more value than a Grasshopper. In saying that I'd happily pay the 60quid for that lot that they recommend, but I bet they won't want to ship it down to NZ...

@Jonathon Gillham well Jonathon as it is a public auction as long as you register to bid and provide the highest bid the "Vanquish" could be yours! I'm sure the auction house would be happy to ship to New Zealand but I imagine the cost would be pretty extortionate and probably far out weigh any financial gains you may make on the car if you get it for a fair price. Auctions are very unpredictable, the estimated values shown are usually low to draw in the bidders! But you may be lucky!
