About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Sound but aged mostly original car with a sound old repaint and interior. Weak chrome, cracked dashboard varnish, faded instrument faces. Cracked, oxidized steering wheel. Dirty underhood. Not original enough to be a preservation car, but usable as is.

Market commentary

Offered at Auburn Spring the previous weekend with a reported high bid of $35,000, then tried again here on Sunday with an even more disappointing $25,000 high bid. An interesting and sound car, but not very good. Worth no more than the high bid from Auburn, but more than it attracted on Sunday. Triumph 2000s seem to be coming out of the woodwork recently, but no one seems to care.
