All:
I don't access this site much anymore, but knew once the car was listed that some chatter would start. I have owned #142 for several years, as Jamo knows, and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't drive it much anymore, and as most of us know, these cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed; it is time for someone else to do so. Life and interests change.
I set a very reasonable reserve on the car, and that reserve was met. Now, it will go to the highest bidder, and, if that means the current bidder at the current price, well, that's ok....that's the chance you take. The market will determine its value....all I can say is that I had a ball owning it and that the winner will get a nice car.
To those who have complimented the car, many thanks for your kind words.
To those who have made uninformed comments about the auction, try to do your homework before you post, (and especially to you-know-who-you-are), before you start casting aspersions on a person's business ethics.
Enjoy your cars and the journey, and be safe.....Cheers!
Bud
