Market commentary

This was, as it turned out, the star of the weekend, the top sale among nearly three dozen million dollar cars that changed hands. It is impossible to fault the bidders enthusiasm for its beauty, light weight body and racing history, but it is a high water mark for LWB Cal Spiders, by some margin, signifying the markets high regard for the very best cars.
