Market commentary
Sold by Gooding at Pebble Beach in 2014 for $880,000 before the most recent round of restoration and color change, the consignor cannot be faulted for declining this bid although in a year or so it may not have proven to be a good decision. The B24S Spider America is a really sweet automobile and is eligible for many discriminating events but its Pinin Farina design (and how it fits on the Aurelia chassis) has awkward proportions and has limited appeal. It might have been astute to take this minimal bid if there was money in the marquee.
