Market commentary
Sold by RM at Amelia Island in 2006 in less aged but essentially the same condition for $231,000, then a no sale at RM Arizona in 2008 for $180,000. Bonhams sold it at Greenwich in 2009 for $227,000. Its worth more than the reported high bid here and even at the low estimate would be a handsome and luxurious Rolls at a modest price.
