Market commentary

This Ghost was sold on the day after the dollar hit a 5 year low against the UK pound, down some 17% from two years ago when this transaction would have been $528,660. Thats a crushing burden on US purchasers and materially distorts this transactions evaluation in todays US market. An impressive and historic Rolls Royce, its price in pounds is reasonable but is out of whack in US$.
