Market commentary

Unsold on the block as 468 at a bid of $73,500, rerun later and sold with this result. On my way out the door to catch a plane this 230SL caught my eye and deserved a closer look. Its that good, without being overdone. Even at the slightly higher price than it brought first time around it still is all the car for the money, especially with the rare four speed, and is a sound value in a quality example at this price. The colors are a little unusual, but for someone who appreciates a Habano cigar with a glass of cognac theyre entirely appropriate to the cars style and presentation.
