Ethan Gibson, the director of communications in North America for auto auctioneer RM Sotheby’s, says, “Nostalgia is one of the biggest drivers of collectible cars, when you take these specs and rarity out of it.”

Many auctioneers don’t disclose which type of auctions they run.

The seller was from the Sutton Coldfield area and the print went to a private buyer in the UK, the auctioneers said.

But then some people started asking questions about how it ended up under the auctioneer's hammer.

He also contacted the auctioneers, who emailed the seller.
