Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wire wheels, dual sidemounts, outside exhaust header pipes, dual spotlights, single driving light. A very high quality older restoration thats mellowed nicely but is still sharp and could be a show car if thoroughly detailed. Wheel chrome is dull, great paint and interior.

Market commentary

Not quite the condition of the 500K Cab C sold here for $253,000, but this is a 540K and that makes all the difference. It would take an added zero (and then some) to own a 540K Special Roadster in this condition making this, relatively at least, an inherently good value even if its appropriate for a Cab B in todays market.
