It may be from 2004 but employee 4 seemed quite adamant that they were experts in the business for a long time, so much so that she considered it abusive to say otherwise.
Flip. I wanted a better ending for you. Number 4s change of tone is indicative of someone on the back foot going on the attack.
Were I to be in the position to sell ayclassic at auction, the information in this thread would cause me to avoid
Coys.
Are there any grounds for you to recover the below reserve monies?
Wow, I’m shocked at this. I don’t know how I would of coped had it been me. I was stressed just reading it.
At the start you mentioned you wanted to buy a car from a deceased friends wife. I’m guessing because of all this, you weren’t able to?
What’s view from the new owner? Are they angry at COYS as well or did COYS put all the blame on you?
Did you keep the reg in the end? And did you get the reserve price?
Hello,
my name is Frank Meyer and I work for Germany's classic car magazine AUTO BILD KLASSIK. I am writing about another former Lamborghini owner who says he is going through a similar experience with Coys. Could you please contact me – frank.meyer at autobild.de – so that we can go through the details? That would be very helpful.
Kind regards,

Was this guy specifically looking to contact me?

I would have imagined that Coys of Kensington would have been one of the more prestigious and well regarded auctioneers so it just goes to show, nightmare.
Edit- read through the lot: what about the discrepancy between the hammer price and the reserve? Have you let their contractual obligation to pay you the difference slide?
Let it go because as said was only thankful I got out with money. But I am posting this everywhere I can so it doesn't happen to anyone else.
Btw, you are too nice for your own good (mean that in a good way)
Me tooWhen I started reading through your links I thought to myself it’s an awful lot of hassle to send a Peugeot to London for auction
