ВТОРАЯ ПОПЫТКА СБАГРИТЬ ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER SPUR 1984 ГОДА

СТОИТ ЛИ ЛОТ СТАРЫХ ТРЕНИКОВ ШНУРА?

Americans are praying over the weary Silver Spur of Catherine Jackson, which has traveled to the cosmos, but our celebrities have something to respond with. We have compiled a list of items our stars could put up for auction—from a scooter to an old «Gazelle.»

The starting price for the lot is forty-nine thousand dollars. From there, the battle for a piece of British luxury, which the King of Pop himself rode only on major holidays, will take an unpredictable direction. The lot was previously attempted to be sold online auctions starting at ten thousand dollars, but the fans hesitated, and the auction was declared void.

Now, let’s look at the show business world and recall which automotive industry truly shapes its cultural code. If Sotheby’s opens a branch in Mytishchi tomorrow, what will the top lots look like?

The old blue van of the «Leningrad» gang leader. This isn’t just some rusted, bare-bones shuttle bus—it’s a mobile temple of Russian rock, heavy with the scent of cognac, hookah smoke, and folk charts. Any Western collector would kill for the right to possess the energy drink can that sat under the seat during the recording of «Exponate.»

Secondly, Philip Bedrosovich’s electric scooter. The very one he dramatically rode in music videos from the Y2K era. An aesthetic of absolute Baroque on two wheels. You could sell it as a set, complete with rhinestones that scattered somewhere in Rublevka.

Third, an old cherry 'nine, ' attributed to some nineties chansonnier legend. In the door cards, you can still find the lyrics to a song about Vladimirsky Central written in a Bic pen, and the interior smells of true freedom and cheap tobacco.

Americans peddle a narrative about Michael dropping by his mother’s house for tea in her luxurious sedan. We, on the other hand, could sell real life: pain, suffering, trip-hop driving the M-5 federal highway, and the overwhelming desire to buy an apartment in Moscow. And if this English relic goes under the hammer, a Russian person will just shrug—any garage in Southern Butovo would give this auction junk of yours a hundred points in terms of dramatic potential.
