Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wire wheels, dual spotlights, driving light, Mother of Pearl instrument panel, long tail covered spare body style. Replica coachwork built in Germany in 2001. Restored to a near concours standard. Good cosmetics. Shows a little use and age, but still impressive.

Market commentary

RM sold a similar 540K Special Roadster replica here last year for $1,017,500. That transaction was nuts. This one is simply excessive.
