Equipment
New silver painted Borrani wire wheels, new Blockley tires, aeroscreen, independent front suspension, four wheel hydraulic drum brakes, Jaeger tach, Smiths engine gauges.
Condition
Raced in Europe in 1948 by Prince Bira, Raymond Sommer and Harry Schell, then shipped to Argentina where it was acquired by the local auto club, then sent back to Europe to be raced by Argentine drivers. In Argentina since then. Tired, dull, chipped old paint. Appears to have been mechanically serviced with new wheels and tires. It should be a lot of fun and has some excellent driver provenance.
Market commentary
This early monoposto will be, when it is historic race prepared, eligible for pretty much anything its new owner wants to attend and, even needing work and preparation, is a sound value at this price.
