Market commentary
One of only a believed 200 built in M471 Lightweight specifications and meticulously restored in its original colors with the original engine and transaxle, but with no known competition history. A measure of this Lightweight's appeal (and value) is to compare it with the M472 Touring version sold this week at Mecum Monterey. It had a connection with the late Paul Walker and sold for a breathtaking (for an M472) price of $1,072,500 while this Lightweight brought twice as much and a result that wasn't breathtaking at all.
