Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
One of 383 postwar 6C 2500 Super Sports built. Two owners from new. 2010 restoration. Displayed at Villa d'Este in 2011. Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Bumper rub strips are a bit wavy. Spotless engine bay and underbody. Steering wheel metal and radio are a little dull. Otherwise this is a great, still fresh show car.
Market commentary
Chic in the Forties and eligible for many classic events, the bidders may have sensed some shortcuts in the noted deficiencies and didn't rise to the bait as much as the consignor wanted. The reported bid could, however, have bought it and the consignor shouldn't have been serious compromised.
