Equipment
RHD. Chrome wire wheels, fog lights, recessed rear mounted spare. This is one of the coolest cars ever to come to auction, a 2 door dual cowl phaeton with aero screens for the rear passengers and powered by a 4 liter 24 degree rrow angle V8 derived from the Lambdas V4. It is magnificently restored and immaculately presented.
Market commentary
Reportedly bid to $250,000 at RMs Amelia Island auction last year, the second time proved to be the charm. Its unique coachwork, brilliant chassis and engine and fastidious restoration and presentation makes this a classic of particular significance. The buyer here paid a market price but got a rarely glimpsed and largely overlooked gem of an automobile. Gems like this just dont turn up very often.
