Market commentary

Consignment 62. Very extraordinary. Thats about all that can be said about this amazing surviving Ace Bristol. With its 100D2 engine it gives up absolutely nothing to others and is in surprisingly good condition. I spent about five minutes peering at the paint looking for indications of repainting. It looks that good. Its worth what the bidders here at the Amelia Island Plantation were willing to pay for it, which is a lot.
