    I live in Miami and stopped by Curated before it had even opened but still had a few cars in the showroom. John saw me peeking through the window and opened the door and showed me around the place for a solid 45 minutes. I wasn't a prospective buyer or anything. Just one of the nicest guys I've ever met who truly loves cars. Very happy for his success.

      I don't want to come off like an internet arm chair quarterback, but the way this guy flip flopped on the original deal with the original perspective buyer just shouts immaturity to me. Using the auction house to 'create competition' then going back to that buyer and closing the deal north of 2 mil was the play. Nevermind that he made a pomise in good faith to that buyer and then unwound it for his own ego. How to kill a relationship with a customer 101. It was almost like he was enjoying the thrill of seeing how high it would sell for at auction... instead of just managing the numbers and understanding what that means for his reputation. Never mind how long that car sat in his inventory before the windfall finally came.

    1. More of this guy.
    2. Very neat story.
    3. Please do another video that delves into the auction house suggesting a 1.7 price beforehand. While the live auction was a “mistake”? That conversation was not.
    Who got their wires crossed and what’s the back story behind it?
    Regards,
    Marky

    I was SCREWED OVER by a British Auction house in Monterrey selling my C2 Corvette in 2003 during the 50th.....of that marque.....I feel your pain and glad things worked out better for you in the end. This has soured me on auction houses ever since....I'd rather know the buyer and be available for them if they have future questions.

    As a kid in the 80`s I had the unexpected honor of being a passenger in an SV that was owned by a Mr Baily who lived in Bedfordview, Johannesburg.We were riding bikes as he pulled out of his driveway, saw these kids appreciating his car and offered to take me for a drive. I remember the carbs right behind my head and the very clunky gated gear change. This may or may not have been the exact same car. South Africa was very fortunate in having some seriously nice cars at the time. My family owned a Porsche Abarth Carerra in 1972.One of 20 ever built..Love this story.

    I've listen to that twice. It's a fantastic automotive story. One fir the ages.
    Truly remarkable.
    It's one to tell or the tyre kickers.
    " mmm not sure about this car?"
    " that's OK we will sell it to John Todt later on"
    The car would be plus of 5million now.

    great story.... Since the early 80s and my love for cars I've been in love with the Miura SV. In fact my shop teacher in middle school told us stories of his friend having one and him driving in it and the sound that it made. Years later I owned a couple ferraris and some other exotics but never a SV and to this day when I see those line I feel my heart flutter for there is only one Miura!
