Market commentary
Handsomely presented in a color that emphasizes the beautiful lines of the SS100. Its 2 1/2 liter engine will make it a little harder to enjoy on the road, but that is recognized in the price it brought, as is the age of its restoration. It's half the price of the 3 1/2 Liter SS100 sold here yesterday. That one was in better condition, but still, it's an expensive liter of displacement.
