Equipment
3,557/115hp inline six, Cotal pre-selector gearbox, wire wheels, fender skirts, pre-selector, dash clock, wood door trim, suicide doors.
Condition
Represented as one of seven Aerosports built, one of two survivors, and as being with the same family since 1959. It received a high quality restoration at some point, but the car looks old and tired enough to be an unrestored original. The paint is dull with too many chips, cracks and long scratches to count. The chrome and wheels look ancient, and there is pitting on much of the other brightwork. The paint on the dash is dull, but the interior is mostly good with clean older wood and sound, lightly worn upholstery. Inherently attractive, rare and desirable Letourneur et Marchand coachwork, but it's a largely rough car and it apparently doesn't have originality as an excuse for its aged presentation.
Market commentary
Although wonderfully styled and unusually powerful for the period, this is a tired and neglected old car that would have been a decent value at the reported high bid but is entirely reasonable even for this one of two survivor of the model with this sleek coachwork.
