Market commentary
For Microbus fanatics, more windows mean more money, with these 23-pane Samba models at the top of the heap. The massive six-figure prices for over-restored or even just decently restored ones over the past several years has been surprising, and recent events haven't dampened enthusiasm, at least for those interested in this example. It is the second-most expensive Transporter we've seen at auction this year.
