Market commentary

Sold by RM in Monterey in 1998 for $105,930, then at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale in 2003 for $167,400 to the consignor here [at GBP 103,500 at the time]. This is one of the most reasonable 289 Cobras to change hands lately and is a result that would have been $25-30,000 more but for the pound's slide relative to the dollar recently, an advantageous time for American buyers in the UK.
