Market commentary
Sold by Bonhams at Olympia in 2007 for $93,995 (GBP 45,500), then by RM at Monterey in 2014 for $110,000, the price today is equivalent to GBP 89,800, a comparison more affected by exchange rates than by the automobile or its condition. It is the essence of bespoke Rolls Royce luxury and refinement, a classic automobile in nearly like new condition and bought for a price that is fair to both the buyer and the seller.
