There are only very few buyers who could accommodate the SWAT van.... so not surprised that this is on the lower-end of the asking price as a niche buy.

Strong result for the barcode, looked like a lovely piece

if you split this van....$$$ 

I honestly thought it would do more which is not to sound crass.  I figured it would do ~$325k based on other recent results given those images and scale.  But, the bidding was very strange for something in its price range.  I think it started at 40, 50, 60 then instead of 70 someone doubled the offer to 120 and it appeared to paralyze the salesroom as that type of action usually takes place on million dollar lots as opposed to this price range.  Then nothing for the better part of a minute which I suppose is the point of making a move like that.  

Ultimately the move did not work this time around as someone nudged it to 130 and that was that but I do wonder if it muted bidding.  I found it curious that whomever doubled the bid didn't do any further bidding either. My hunch is that with the benefit of hindsight this particular buyer will have done very well for themselves.  I didn't have any expectations whatsoever for the van as it's simply too big and awkward for the vast majority of collectors. 

If it was such a steal people would of bid more.

Yeah the storage of such a piece would pose issues so seems a fair price for what is a stellar work.

Didn't realise it'd been changed. Anyone have a before and after shot?

Seems like the side of the van was totally repainted except for most of Dorothy.

Maybe it didn't have an MOT

Better with the noose, who changed it?

I prefer it now rather than before
the tags before looked spaced out too equally and tidy just didn't look right.

He tends to do that with a lot of the work post exhibition.  Always the perfectionist 

Is it too much to ask the vandals of today to follow the rule of thirds?
