Market commentary
Sold at Christies Pebble Beach auction freshly restored in 1995 for $96,000, it was de acquisitioned by Mr. Ecclestone at RMs first London auction in 2007 for $250,124 and has been freshened by pros since. The restrained livery highlights the contributions of Walter Dorwin Teague, Sr. and Jr. who established the parameters of the Marmon Sixteen design. An elegant, attractive, refined automobile of the highest quality and mechanical sophistication, it brought an appropriate price here.
