Market commentary

This XK 120 is valued far and away more for its performance than for its correctness (of which it retains little) and the bidders in London stepped up with a magnanimous price that recognizes its appeal for touring. In rainy Britain, however, the lack of a real windshield or top limits its use, but did not deter the bidders' enthusiasm.
