Equipment
Aluminum block OHC engine, painted wire wheels, whitewall tires, dual sidemounts with strap-on mirrors, jump seats, driving light, full weather equipment, opening driver's side windshield, luggage trunk, tools, spare light bulb set, original carburetor included. Body appears to be fabric, at least covering the doors.
Condition
Designed by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche. Sound but aged restoration. Unused since at least 1997 in the LeMay collection and in need of comprehensive attention but good enough that it can be made to run and drive well before turning attention to cosmetics. Proceeds to The LeMay-America's Car Museum.
Market commentary
A choice automobile, rarely seen and technically advanced for its day. The bidders recognized its value and significance and accorded it a strong, but entirely deserved, price. It is a real prize.
