Market commentary
RM sold this car here in Paris in 2014 for $4,996,623 (Euros 3,696,000 at the time, this result is Euros 5.4 million) and it's been used since, even with consistent maintenance by CKL Developments. There's enough paint on it to take 2% off a lap time and the reported high bid here is appropriate recognition of its presentation and history.
