Equipment
8,270 miles, all original and better looking than most cars 80 years younder. Maintained by the same chauffeur from new to 1980. A two owner time capsule totally original except perhaps for the tires and engine oil.
Market commentary
Simply magnificent. Very useable and still elegant. Sporting cars get used, altered, updated and restyled while the formal coaches retire to the back of the carbarn behind later conveyances to emerge, still fresh, and still in their evening clothes years later. Thats how this car was described when Christies sold it at Tarrytown, NY in 1997 for $79,500. The same holds true 4 years later, but $23,000 cheaper.
