Lower than I expected and no news on who bought it yet: BBC NEWS | England | Scrapyard Spitfire fetches £1.58m
I could have sworn I saw your name on the "sold" tag Kyt !!!!!!!!! ( I think they got it cheap didn't they ? )
Gawd if I had the money I would have been there! But sadly I can't even afford the £60,000 a year insurance premium
I was expecting a tandem, with its possibilities to carry passengers, to be higher. And the last Spit, sold to the Chinese, went higher
That Mk XVI was a time machine though. She was complete and exactly as she was when pulled out of service, IIRC. Of course who knows what work will be done to her. Haven't heard anything since then. Wonder how the Kiwi bloke who missed out on her is going with his second option - the Blenheim in the US? http://ww2chat.com/forums/war-air/2843-spitfire-auctioned-nz.html
