Market commentary
Sold by Christies at Beaulieu in 1992 for $25,390, then restored. Sold by Gooding at Amelia in 2010 for $105,600, then by Bonhams at Fairfield later in 2010 for $144,500 (GBP 93,900 at the time; this sale is GBP 89,500, a somewhat greater loss than the dollar figures indicate, or an astute exploitation of exchange rate fluctuations.)
