Equipment
RHD. Chrome wire wheels, dual sidemounts, Marchal lighting including dual spotlights and single driving light, golf bag compartment, badge bar, rumble seat. Believed to be the only LWB PII bodied by Chapron in this style. A quality restoration that now has some edge chips. Good interior and excellent chrome. The catalog talks about getting a Pebble Beach restoration, but it looks just fine as is.
Market commentary
Bought cheap at RMs New York sale in 2000 for $159,500 and appears to have had remedial work to overcome some of the shortcuts observed at that time. Considering RM got $437,500 for a PII Henley at Meadow Brook two days later (bought at Hershey 18 months before for $346,500) in not as good overall condition, the bid here is way off the mark.
