Equipment
5,401/180hp, 4-speed, chrome wire wheels, Michelin X tires, dual sidemount spares, dual chrome horns, single Bosch driving light, suicide doors, mother-of-pearl instrument panel, burl wood interior trim.
Condition
Good but older paint and chrome, and there are some long scratches on the left front fender. Uneven gaps on the doors. Fantastic interior with a beautiful dashboard and no visible wear to the leather. Very clean underneath. An older restoration with some issues.
Market commentary
Sold by RM at London in 2013 to the present owner who paid $1,289,368 (£820,000 at the time, this result is £730,000) for it. Perhaps not as good now as it was then, it’s still very good and is a classic value (well, actually a good value for a classic) in this transaction. A 540K for under a $1 million, even a Cabriolet B, is by definition a solid value with entree into many choice events.
