Market commentary

The temptation to re-create the Tilbury body would completely miss the point of this Bothwell Silver Ghost which embodies Lindley Bothwell's appreciation for quality mechanics and a whimsical willingness to put them to practical use. It deserves to stay exactly the way it is. It is one of the best examples of the soul of the Bothwell collection, respect for quality and performance, but willingness to put them to practical application. The exceptional price paid for it indicates that the new owner 'got it'.
