Market commentary
Eligible for pretty much any event its new owner would like to experience and in need of normal recommissioning after 30+ years on display the price this Balilla brought is more reflective of its potential for fun and experiences than condition. It could hardly have expected to bring this much in the U.S., where it is relatively obscure, but the GBP price (51,000) is appropriate.
