Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wire wheels, wide whitewalls, dual sidemounts with mirrors, luggage trunk, dual taillights, Pilot-Rays, chrome long trumpet horns behind left sidemount, spotlight, outside exhaust headpipes, dual windshields. Running naturally aspirated and apparently without a supercharger being supplied.

Condition

Very good older paint, chrome and interior. Chassis shows use but is still very clean. Top is lightly soiled but fits well. Upholstery shows almost no use. An impressively restored and maintained SJ, freshly recommissioned and serviced by Brian Joseph.

Market commentary

A beautiful old car, restored to high standards that still present well. The absence of a supercharger is, however, a serious shortcoming, making it something like a 'Model non-SJ' or describing it as having 'lost its S.' The price it brought is a tribute to the dual cowl phaeton coachwork's design and balance and to the (expensive) potential of finding and installing a supercharger.
