Market commentary
Gullwings show no indication of slowing and prices continue to climb unabated. This car possessed the looks and provenance to earn a small premium relative to other Gullwings. It will be interesting to see, though, how long Gullwing prices can climb given theyre now reaching into the territory of cars produced in far smaller numbers with comparable performance. This post block sale suggests it took a bit of persuasion to reach even this price.
