Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Clamshell front fenders, four spotlights, driving lights, dual rear cloth covered spares. Discovered by Kirk Gibson in New England, later owned by Ben Moser and restored for Ted Jameson in the early 90s. Very good paint, chrome, glass, wood and interior. Highly attractive older restoration still in presentable condition but aging and showing it.

Market commentary

Sold by Bonhams at Brookline from the Jameson collection in 2003 for just $245,900 to a couple of experienced collectors who recognized its quality and hidden value. It has added just over 400 miles to its odometer since it was offered by RM at Amelia in 2007 (a $775,000 no sale). The result here is heroic money, probably helped along by the Mercedes Benz epic which this years RM Monterey sale was.
