Market commentary
Period race reports in Argentina mention a Twin Six several times, so the notion isnt as farfetched as it might first appear. The car is beautifully done and very well documented since leaving Argentina in 1963, a time when no one was bothering to fake old race cars out of the Pampas. Its reliability has been demonstrated. Its a desirable combination of condition and fun at this price.
