Equipment
RHD. 2,309cc/95hp, dual Solex carburetors, silver painted wire wheels, Waymaster tires, Carello headlights, Hella fog lights.
Condition
Shown at the Geneva Motor Show in 1938. Restored in Switzerland in the mid-80''s and with a replacement engine preserving the original''s dual Solex carburetors. Sound old paint with cracks at the base of both windshield posts. Good interior, gauges and chrome. Orderly but aged engine compartment and chassis.
Market commentary
Like the 6C 2300 B Lungo that preceded this car across the block from the same owner, the Worblaufen coachwork is attractively designed and detailed, but is a standard Worblaufen design. The extra horsepower from the 2-Solex engine configuration adds to its appeal and the old restoration is holding up well with few age-related flaws. The consignor chose to keep the car despite the $602,250 high bid which in retrospect may not have been a prudent decision.
