Market commentary
Sold by Gooding & Company at Pebble Beach in 2007, part of the Richard Solove Collection, for $1,870,000, a hammer bid of $1.7 million, $200,000 over the high estimate, the first of the Solove Collection cars offered with the proceeds to the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. This is a wonderful Rolls Royce but its uncertain that its worth much if any more than the reported high bid despite its enthusiastic (and charitable) result at Pebble Beach in 2007.
