Yeah I was surprised too. Managed to catch the end of 59 selling and the auctioneer looked as though he was expecting more. I was expecting way more than £100k anything, thought it would go for at least £500k+.
Probably would have done better going through a larger auction house. Bet loads of people didn’t even know it was happening.

I thought it was relatively cheap - it was a bit disappointing to watch that it didn't really take off. A number of the other's went (for what seemed) reasonably cheap prices in the end. The '52 goldtop was £7200, the '56 LPJ £6000, '61 SGJ £3400, '62 Precision bass £3500.
Most of those would cost more than that to get a custom shop replica.
