Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Cooper Sport Master thin whitewalls, suicide doors, rear fender skirts, rear-mounted spare.

Condition

Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Leaking oil. 323 of these Speedsters were built and 12 are thought to exist. This must be one of the best examples, if not the best of all.

Market commentary

Way cool, but how much more cool than the reported high bid? A little, perhaps, but the seller will have to hold on and hope to find two bidders with appreciative grandchildren.
