Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Bodied to a Figoni & Falaschi design according to the car card, F&F badge has a prewar address. Ex Maharajah of Mysore and Elton John, chrome wire wheels, Cotal gearbox, late radio. Some panels and trim dont line up well but otherwise very flash.

Market commentary

It wasnt exactly clear what was bought here, probably a body built by someone familiar with F&F designs and techniques. In any event a striking car, a rare model, and worth the amount paid but no more until the provenance becomes clear.
