Market commentary
Offered freshly restored at The Auction in Las Vegas in 1992 for private treaty sale, and still nearly as good as it was then. Its surprising it has never been to Britain for the Brighton Run, its best and highest use, and almost certainly where it is headed with its buyer here. The price it brought reflects the premium serious collectors are willing to pay for Brighton Run eligibility, particularly the early start time which this Leon Bollees dating qualifies. It is expensive, but thats what it takes.
