Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Rebodied by Rick Kriss in 1995, the only thing 'Brunn' about this coachwork is the builder's tag (and the auction's honest description of it as a 're-creation'). Nevertheless it was an award winner at Amelia and Meadowbrook. Excellent paint and chrome. Excellent top and interior. Spotless chassis. A proven show car that is still showable.
Market commentary
Sold at Auctions America Fort Lauderdale in 2013 for $275,000, then sold at Mecum Monterey last year for $253,000. It is a wonderful car with coachwork that demonstrates the appeal of a sleek, low top sport phaeton but brought a superior price not consistent with its 1990's reproduction coachwork.
