Winning bid $45,210. Open cars are always it seems are for people with some bucks. I know we all should have bought convertibles in 1970.

I wonder if it was bought by a Brough Superior Motorcycle enthusiast. I was reading about them yesterday, one site says Brough Superior cycles regularly sell for between $40,000 to $100,000.

Some of the sportier Brough Superior cars have motorcycle type fenders. I wouldn't be surprised if in that auction the motorcycle fans of that make went against the car enthusiasts.

The Brough motorcycles are/were called "The Rolls Royce of motorcycles" in England. If you've seen the movie "Lawrence of Arabia", T. E. Lawrence always rode Broughs & that was what he was riding at the beginning of the movie when he's killed.
