Market commentary
It always amazes me when someone spends GBP 220,000 on a professional restoration which ends up reinstalling the old, pitted door handles that disappoint every time someone gets into the car. Yet it happens again and again, even when replacement parts are readily available and inexpensive. The color of this C/4 is attractive, even complementing the black "clown mouth" nose and the interior is eye-catching. It was sold at the Guernsey auction on Long Island in 1991 for $91,300 in mostly original condition. Bidding here was static at <200K until the last five minutes then took off through several extensions to this final and realistic price.
