Could someone please tell me if I have done Rip Van Winkle and been asleep for several decades.
I know it is an early car. I know it is immaculate (even with the chromed brake cable adjusters) - which is lovely if you want a pristine ornament, devoid of any trace of its past owners or history. I know it only take two people to make an auction.
But I am utterly staggered by the £37,950 (inc 15% buyer premium) that the Chummy made at Bonhams sale at Beaulieu over the weekend. Was it an everyday 'value' or was the price simply a product of two people getting carried away?
