The barndoor is estimated at twice the value of the Mercedes Benz 300 ‘Adenauer’ Convertible Conversion, 1953 - WOW!

'67 Samba estimated at 80K euros- didn't sell
'55 23-window barndoor Samba estimated at 240K euros- didn't sell

It's interesting that the 2 buses didn't sell- a coincidence? Or is it a sign that bus prices have finally peaked or are now actually overpriced for the current market conditions?

And none of the other 3 made their estimated prices.

Did the '67 Samba also sell outside the auction?
