"Money, money, money" Cliff Goodall and ABBA at the Monaco auctions

Do you remember ABBA, the Swedish musical group from the '70s who sang "Money Money Money must be funny"? They came to my mind while I was watching the Grand Prix Historique and the auctions held in the Principality. After talking about millionaire cars, those "money money money" ones, I decided to remove a couple of "money" without taking away the "must be funny". I do this to move away from the stereotype of wealth at all costs and tell you what you could take home for less than €100,000. Imagine the response you could give friends when driving your new car: "Yes, I bought it in Monte Carlo" What a blast!

From Artcurial, out of 44 offers, only 5 did not exceed the fateful threshold: A 1957 Chevrolet Corvette (€73,904), a 1963 Volvo P1800 (€45,296) and a trio of Porsche 911s. The first was a 1972 2.4S Targa, the so-called "oelkappe". According to the catalog description, it needed restoration and the price of €83,440 (estimated at €80,000-120,000) shows it. On closer inspection, the work needed was quite limited: The engine had been recently redone, the interior seemed good, while the bodywork looked more tired than destroyed.
