About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Sound older paint with a small scratch and a sizable chip on the right front fender. Slightly dirty top. Dirty exhaust tip. Small cracks in the bodywork on the tail. Very good interior. Done well and done right by marque expert Ken Clark, but done a while ago. The L-29 was one of the sleekest cars you could buy in its day, and it's made even more eye-catching with bright two-tone colors like these.

Market commentary

Sold at RM Monterey in 2009 for $187,000. The careful presentation of this car during its Ken Clark restoration is the attention to original factory finishes, a car done to showroom condition, not fluffed up to beyond perfect. It is a car to be proud to own, drive and show, and with proper attention will be for many years to come.
