Market commentary
The difference between a superb 300SL Roadster and a merely sound driver is, at least in dollars, small, like the difference between this car's estimate and the price it brought. The RM Sotheby's bidders weren't fooled by a shiny paint job and applied a big discount to this car. If less discount than the car warranted.
