Market commentary
This F40 raises an important issue: the effect of modifications that enhance performance, comfort or appearance but detract from originality. It would seem that both the auction company in its pre sale estimate range and the New York bidders both evaluated the expensive modifications as detrimental to value. Under the circumstances the reported high bid is reasonable.
