Market commentary
Camparis 1933 French GP win was a storied victory over Phillipe Etancelin on an Alfa Monza, Campari several times losing the lead due to excessive tire wear before passing Etancelin on the last lap of the 12km course. Much of 3001s original engine has gone the way of most race car engines and the body was re created during the restoration, which might account for the relatively modest price (if over a million bucks can ever be called modest.)
