Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Body covered in 23kt gold leaf, nickel-plated fenders, gold-leafed wood spoke wheels, silver-plated interior fittings, quarter window curtains, leather upholstery.

Condition

Known history from new, restored between 1945 and 1973 and showing age and patina but little use. Freshly detailed. Amazing.

Market commentary

Maybe even beyond amazing. Sold by RM in London in 2010 for $141,407, its sale here for essentially the same price endorses its value.
