Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Chrome wire wheels, driving light. English touring cabriolet body with trademark 540K outside exhaust head pipes by Offord & Sons. Older concours restoration now with some stone chips and engine leaks but still excellent in all respects

Market commentary

Rather British, without the Teutonic flair that makes Sindelfingen bodied 540s so distinctive but a 540 nonetheless and in excellent condition. This bid was well under the market; it might make a better result in England, home of its coachwork.
