Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Body color wire wheels, wide whitewalls, outside exhaust headpipes, Bosch headlights and dip beam light, cowl-mounted semaphore signals, dual rear-mounted spares, spotlight-mirror.

Condition

One of 31 Cab As on the 500K chassis, first sold to French actor Henri Garat. Good older paint, interior and top from a 2001-2007 restoration. Most of the chrome is good except the radiator which is scratched and rubbed through. The engine compartment is orderly but has some oil mist residue. The top has folding wrinkles. The gauges and interior wood are very good but the instrument panel overlay is cracking. Well-restored to show quality standards some time ago and showing age and miles since then.

Market commentary

This result is an intelligent compromise between the inherent quality, design and rarity of this car and the age of its restoration.
