Equipment
Body color wheel discs, dual side mounts with chrome bands and mirrors, rollup division, Supralux headlights, cloth top, cloth interior.
Condition
Built for Henry Walker Bagley (son-in-law of R.J. Reynolds), later owned by D. Cameron Peck. Restored by Steve Babinsky in 1998 for Charles Morse. First in class at Pebble Beach in 1999 and a later winner at Meadow Brook, Amelia Island and Louis Vuitton in New York. A quality older concours restoration still with excellent paint, bright chrome, crisp interior and top. Even the polished aluminum is consistently bright and satiny.
Market commentary
Sold by RM at Villa d'Este in 2011 for $746,014 and passed at Bonhams Scottsdale Auction in January of this year at a reported bid of $850,000, this result reflects its lack of attention and detail in an otherwise high quality, even glitzy, New York display. Lost in the crowd, it brought a reasonable price, a tidy discount to its Villa d'Este result.
