Market commentary

This car was bright orange, matching its gauge faces and dashboard knobs, when it was offered at Bonhams Quail Lodge auction in 2007. Its current color is more appropriate but less striking. There are some delicious bits, like the front fender marker lights, and details and it was one of the most admired cars at Bonhams Scottsdale auction, admiration reflected in its price. Some details like Figonis signature door capping shields are lacking but do little to detract from the cars extraordinary effect.
