Market commentary
I was at The Bridge in 1963, a fan of Briggs Cunningham and Alfred Momo (who helped keep my father''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s XK 120 running). The history and preservation of this Lightweight E-type is exceptional and while it never won anything its history makes it eligible for almost everything permitted by its 1963 date. It was at the center of Bonhams'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Quail Lodge display, facing the McLaren F1, a car with no history of any note. At half the McLaren''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s price it represents a serious value for anyone who appreciates automobile and racing history.
