Market commentary
This is a very interesting and attractive M B with intriguing interim features between the 500K and 540K. The otherwise beautiful coachwork has a single drawback, its massive folded top sitting on the rear deck and it is significant that its neither cataloged nor shown with the top down. It is a beautiful and regal automobile, however, and brought an appropriately beautiful and regal price, especially when compared with its $2,035,000 sale by RM freshly re restored at Arizona in 2008.
