Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Single driving light, dual sidemounts. No early history, superficially restored in the early 90s although it was claimed on site that Euros 500K were spent. Old paint, newer interior. Clean but shows age. Good interior wood. A driver, and not a very impressive one at that.

Market commentary

This is a pretty unattractive car but it brought very attractive money, at least very attractive to the seller, for its aged condition and clunky body.
