Market commentary

Probably the most complicated automobile built in the 20th century, a ranking only magnified by the Aston Martin Lagonda alongside it. If there's a technician (a term that applies here instead of 'mechanic') who can keep its fabulously intricate hydraulics working it can be one of the most satisfying cars to drive. In his absence it is a garage relic and the seller should be very happy that RM put together any deal at all to see it move on.
