Market commentary

GP cars of the Twenties even ones that never raced in the period from major manufacturers like FIAT are rare beasts but this one has such a clear, essentially 2 owner, history that it is even more remarkable. You just dont find cars like this even unraced in period for this kind of money. Its a very good value at this price, a car that will be welcome wherever its new owner wants to take it and an exceptiolly astute acquisition. Well bought.
