Market commentary

Its not an S, just a beautifully restored standard XK 150 Drophead with overdrive, and a lefthand drive version in a righthand drive market at that. Something miraculous happened at Bond Street with the seller (and Bonhams) the winner in a bidding contest that left reality far in the distance of the XK 150s tiny rear view mirror, a $200K car for which someone paid 3x the value. It may be the best one in the world; its also far and away the most expensive and will be for a very long time.
