Market commentary
This isnt a Ferrari or Maserati and its not in very good condition, either. The reported high bid should have been enough to see it in the hands of a new owner. Even at historic exchange rates 450,000 Pounds is a little more than the reported high bid and sufficient to buy this attractive car.
