Market commentary

This vehicle required some explanation to most of the casual onlookers but its appeal wasn't lost on a healthy contingent. The estimate is optimistically generous. Selling at a discount to the estimate is no knock on the Dick Flint Roadster. This is serious money for a magnificent roadster.
