#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Built for one of the Embiricos brothers. Concours restored for Don Williams in the 1980's with consistently excellent cosmetics including beautiful interior wood and a tight fitting and sleek top that looks far better it is up than piled up over the rear deck when it's down.
Market commentary
Top up this is one sleek, sexy 540K, a car that should never have its top retracted and piled up in a disorderly stack behind the seats. A later 540K with oval chassic members and sodium-cooled valves, it is one of perhaps 32 built in this Cab A configuration. Viewed from most angles with the top up it erases any thoughts of Special Roadsters and is by any measure a sound value at this price.
