FYI: The 6C2500 #915829 (claimed to be the ex-Eva Peron car) seems to be for sale in Urugay. See this thread.

The asking price is double what it should be, as it is going to take 100,000 Euros to properly restore the car....

Just got an e-mail from the seller, and the price is firm at 125,000 Euros. I seriousdly doubt if the car will bring that kind of money. I think it is worth 60,000 to 75,000 Euros "as is"...
Guess I was wrong about current prices, as Symbolic is asking $795,000 for the totally restored (to Pebble Beach condition) Alfa 6c2500 Villa d"Este berlinetta they just got!!!!

I suppose one question is the premium that celebrity ownership adds. Certainly Elvis' Cadillac is worth a lot more than a Caddy owned by some nobody. Steve McQueen's Lusso sold at Monterey this year for a big premium. I guess the issue becomes how much of a cachet Eva Peron still has fifty plus years after her death, and to people in the car-collecting universe.
Alex had written: "This could be the last days of the bubble ...". I agree, we could be near the end, but perhaps not. The number of wealthy collectors has expanded a lot over the past few years, with the emergence of Russian oligarchs, Indian dotcommers, Chinese manufacturers, etc - it isn't just Texas oil millionaires bidding against Europan old money and Japanese industrialists anymore. Prices could keep rising as more rich people compete for a fixed pool of vintage cars. Perhaps some South American tycoon will see big value in Eva Peron's Alfa.
Or, perhaps not - I don't pretend to a) know the value of these cars, or b) have a crystal ball.
