Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Driving light, dual enclosed sidemounts, skirts, 4 speed (not OD as cataloged). Decent paint, interior, chrome and wood. Restored by Frank Dale in the UK many years ago, paint updated a while ago. Handsome and unusual 4 door, in the US itd be called a convertible sedan. Shows some wear and age, chassis recently squirted with black.

Market commentary

Sold after restoration in 1973 for $33,000, then at Christies Phil Wichard sale in 96 for $150,000 + commission. Its still in about the same condition and $135,000 hammer seems appropriate.
