About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

The paint shows some slight scratches on the hood. The headlight on the driver's side has a small gouge. The brightwork is good. The interior is worn on both seats. The floor is heavily worn with the rubber floor missing pieces. The driver's side door restraint strap is broken. Driver door and rear fender have some scratches due to the door strap being broken. The engine is correct but dirty. There are some paint scrapes on the underside of the hood. No detailing has been done to the engine compartment. The underbody shows heavy wear and oxidation. The soft-top has been replaced but is showing slight fading. Kept up enough to keep it presentable, but never fully restored.

Market commentary

Not a lot of car for the money in the material sense, but a lot of character and an appropriate result for an example with these needs. It's worth keeping in mind that Topolinos made up much of the Mille Miglia field in the early 50's and their history improves the possibility of eligibility for some desirable events (if not for the new uber-selective MM Retro.)
