Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Chrome wire wheels, skirts, Marchal head and fog lights, fender mirrors. Flat panels, good fits, excellent paint, interior and chrome An excellent older restoration to like new condition. Subtle, and very effective, red coachline down the front fender crease and rear wheel skirt margin looks like a reflection of the body paint. Shows some age with a few nicks and seat cushion creases. Very sharp and sleek. From Peter Kaus Rosso et Bianco Collection.

Market commentary

Offered here in Monterey in 1991 at the Rick Cole auction, it was more freshly restored but not as well presented. Unfortutely, in 1991 the market was in limbo and no one knew what a car like this was worth. The Cole staff thought it was a Figoni & Falaschi body. No one raised their hand. At all. Things were done much better by Bonhams and the car was exceptiol, a real choice piece of work. As a result it brought an exceptiol price for a 135 MS.
