#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Restored in 2014 and shown at Pebble Beach that year with a thrid in class then Best of Show at Arizona in 2015, one of only about ten with this setback radiator style Sport Cabriolet A body. Excellent paint, chrome, interior, top, gauges and engine. A concours restoration with no evidence of age or use.
Market commentary
Offered by RM at Arizona in 2015 (only hours after winning Best of Show) where it was reported bid to $3.1 million, then by Bonhams at Greenwich in 2016 where it was bid to $2.8 million, both of which were reasonable bids and its successful sale here een though another 10% lower seals the deal. It is an unusually handsome and distinctive Cab A and a worthy alternative to a much more expensive Spezial Roadster, although not as astute a buy as the 500K Offener Tourenwagen sold earlier today here.
