Market commentary

Offered last year at Bonhams auction at the Simeone Museum where it was bid to $160,000, the seller got very reasonable a year later here and accepted both an attractive (if broad) estimate range and a reasonable price for a car that should be a load of fun to drive even if its intrinsic value is hampered by the varied origins of its components.
