Market commentary

Bought for $68,915 at this sale in 2007 (GBP 34,500), this is a modest result for a flat floor XKE, even in todays weak dollars. Todays pound price of GBP 53,200 similarly reflects the healthy appreciation in value which these early XKEs have achieved and should be considered reasonable even if 15% under Bonhams low estimate.
