Mr. Delaney: Can You Speculate About Buyers?

Mr. Delaney:

Not knowing whether you might have any "inside" information about these sales (racing suit, Heuer Monaco and GT40), or whether it might be pure speculation, but I am wondering whether you might be able to suggest who the buyers of these items might be (by category)? Car enthusiasts / collectors of Hollywood memorabilia, but any idea who they are? Oligarchs? Oil money? Silicon Valley types? Do you have any ideas, at all?

Also, any insights into the market for McQueen items, versus other Hollywood icons / racing or film stars?

Thanks for bringing this GT40 to our attention and thanks for any further insights!!

Jeff
