Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Silver painted wire wheels, fog lights. 2.3 liter BMW V8 powered. Older restoration to like new condition; flat panels, even door gaps, good paint, interior and chrome. Very presentable, with show wins as evidence but also a fine driver.

Market commentary

A fine driver, but those who know point out that the lovely hemi head BMW V8 isnt up to the challenge of motivating the Talbot Lagos ton and a half with much alacrity. But, hey, who would drag race such a pretty car Itll keep up with traffic just fine. At 1 3 over RMs high estimate this is an extraordinary result but perhaps the cost of filling an empty hole in a BMW collectors car barn.
