    From what I've been told sales have been slow in the UK, it will be interesting to see if it sells.

    Does this being Elton John's command that much of a premium?

    IMO no; The Daytona was very much a car of choice with British Rock/pop stars of the time (Mick Jagger, Jack Bruce, Mark Bolan, Bobby Whitlock, John Bonham all owned them at one point or another) and I don't think any have sold at a premium as a result. I had a look at the car in the auction the last time it was offered and it is in a very nice but not concours condition. As this car is from a deceased estate I would expect it to sell if there are any genuine bids on the car? Based on the recent Monterey sales when adjusted for FX the estimate seems reasonable.

    That's what I figured. More of a car show / coffee talking point, instead of a value adder
