Market commentary
Sold by RM in Arizona in 2008 fresh from restoration for $2,035,000 then at Monterey a year ago for $2,970,000 (Euros 2,061,400.) Sold here for just a schosh more on the hammer, Euros 2,075,000, this is still an excellent 540K even if with its top down it looks like its carrying ungainly baggage.
