My assumption is that they were hoping to get more then 100k for it, and they might have, but the link doesn’t work anymore so there’s no way to know for sure. It is (was?) the only 2023 F1 car listed, making it very valuable and likely to sell at a higher price. Having said that, the last time o checked the auction the highest bid was only £103,000, I’m sure they were expecting more. It’s not a running car, there are no internal parts, the only parts that would be used for spares would be the body and tires. My guess is that they already have enough parts and decided to try to sell this as they had no need for it, expecting to at least break even.
