Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Silver painted wire wheels, Marchal head and fog lights, Wilson pre selector gearbox, opening windshield. Restored in France some time ago to good touring condition but well below US concours standards. Some paint flaws and pitted chrome. Good interior and exceptional faux wood trim. First car in the series. Disappearing top, thin 2 element bumpers, teardrop fenders. Pretty car.

Market commentary

Offered by Christies at Pebble Beach in 2003 where it no saled at $140,000 in comparable condition with about 1,600 fewer km on the odometer. The owner has had a good run in the intervening two years and even made a buck (but not a pound, the equivalent in 2003 being +87,700 and +87,300 today.)
