Market commentary
Sold for $200,750 at the Worldwide Houston auction in 2010 from the Buess family collection and given some needed attention to its appearance since then. A great car for touring and Rolls Royce owners events, and this was clearly the right audience for the car. It may have sold just short of its estimate, but this price was fair for both buyer and seller.
