Market commentary
Opened at GBP 1,000,000, next to 1.25, 1.4, 1.5, 1.55, 1.6, 1.65, 1.7 but stalled at 1.75 million. This is a better car than might appear from the catalog, which forthrightly makes note of its history but fails to make it clear it is the origil chassis and suspension, origil engine and much of the origil body even after the fire. 034 was a real mess and was used (apparently) only for selected parts. C type prices have been escalating rapidly in recent years and if, as it would appear, there was money at the reported bid the seller and RM should have found a way to make this deal work. Whats a quarter million pounds between friends
