Market commentary

Sold by RM at Monterey in 2012 for $96,250 and now showing just two more miles on its odometer. Considering that the consignor probably netted something under $80K on this transaction and had ownership and transportation expenses of not inconsiderable magnitude those were a pair of very expensive miles.
