Market commentary

This is how a Cricklewood Bentley should look, both in its appearance and in its condition. They are to be driven.and enjoyed, as this one has and it has immense value (barely twice the price of a good 3 Liter) on the road. The buyer negotiated a good post block deal and has more than ample value for money spent. Itsa bitsa, but behind the wheel the new owner wont notice for a moment.
