Market commentary
This car attracted a great deal of interest throughout the weekend but none more than during the auction when its combination of being an important, powerful, rare model, highly original, low miles and two recognized owners brought the auctions best price -- at least in terms of beating the pre-sale estimate. A wonderful car bought at a handsome but fully justified price.
