Market commentary
Sold by RM in Monterey in 2006 for $319,000 then bid to $200,000 on the block and closed at this price post block. Very few cars can claim the succession of important, famous and brave persons who have graced their seats as this Lehmann Peterson Continental. Their touch is worth the price paid quite aside from the cars exclusivity.
