Market commentary
$2,450,000. Thats what this rare and desirable SSK would have cost a US$ buyer a year ago at this hammer price. Ouch! It makes Terry Bennetts faux Zatuszek SSK look like a great buy at $423,500 in 1991, all the fun and thrill (and lots of SSK parts) for 1 8 the money. No word on the buyer although a prominent French Ferrari expert is mentioned as the last one holding up his hand. Whether on his own behalf or in the capacity of agent is not known.
