Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Unusual Mayfair alloy 4-seat body with un-Teutonic checkmark-shaped door dips. Originally delivered to the UK as a rolling chassis for Sir Everard Talbot Scarisbrick, 2nd Baronet and 30th Lord of Scarisbrick. It had this body at least by 1939. Later owned in the U.S. by Paul and Barbara Karassik, later yet by Bill Lassiter. Represented as matching numbers chassis and engine. Sound older paint, upholstery and chrome. Everything is aged and polishing scuffed but still highly presentable. The chassis and engine are orderly and clean.
Market commentary
Quite unusual is an understatement, and barely recognizable with this Mayfair coachwork as a 500K, which may account for the parsimonious bid that it brought. At this price it is a great value if not a bargain and could have brought much more without being expensive.
