Confidence in the future

The first physical-presence auction by the MPH division of Bonhams was held at Bicester Heritage in the United Kingdom, right on the eve of new restrictions. Despite the dreaded climate of apprehension, the offers were all pretty decent: 67 cars were sold out of 105 on offer (63.80%), a slightly higher percentage than the estimated value takings, which totalled 57.82% (£1,193,541 out of £2,064,000 on offer).
