Market commentary
The hammer bid is $30,000 over RMs high estimate which is a very good result for both the car and the 300SL Roadster market. The new owner wont make money on the car, at least not anytime soon, but should be very satisfied with it. Any premium is a small price to pay for satisfaction and peace of mind.
