At Sotheby's September auction at the RAF Mueseum in Hendon, a 1958 Mark
I Sprite sold for 12,190 pounds (including a 15% buyer's premium).  At
the current exchange rate, that is $19,625, and does not include a 17.5
VAT, which allowed the new owner to walk away after plunking down
$20,060!  The Frogeye was listed by Sotheby's as "excellent/ restored",
not quite the quality of "concours" or "superb".
