Market commentary

The sellers went on and on about what an important design statement this Caravelle was, proving that they knew absolutely nothing about the history of design but all they needed to know about pumping up bidders. This is ught but a Dauphine under its Frua designed skin. Still, for about the price of an MG TD (which has better performance but is a lot more common) this is a conversation piece and the buyer cant get hurt very badly.
