Market commentary
The bidders had more confidence in this T 70s history than the catalogers, but even if its little more than a tach needle resurrection its still an wonderful, beautiful, meticulously restored and presented machine. One of the most seductive designs of its era, it needs nothing except a history. It can begin from now and, for this money, be built into something attractive and usable. Expensive, but something of a bargain on its parts and restoration costs.
