Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Old dry rotting tires. Sound but aged paint and upholstery. Uneven brass. Some miles on the engine and chassis. Some cracked wood panels. Not fresh, but concours restored a while ago and Brighton eligible.
Market commentary
If nothing else this Knox has an informative auction history. While not changing its condition much at all, it sold for $198,000 at Gooding's Pebble Beach auction in 2012, then $192,500 at Bonhams Quail in 2015 before jumping upward at Bonhams Amelia in 2017 with a sale of $292,600. No one seems to have done anything with it except for Barry Hon's entry in the L-BVCR in 2013 and an L-BVC Run in 2016 with regular mechanical attention for its reliability. The result here, as in 2017, may be seen as a testament to its reliability and L-BVCR eligibility.
