Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
One of just 252 of these early alloy-bodied 120s built before volume production necessitated steel. Originally finished in Pastel Blue. Represented as matching numbers. Older chrome. The rubber gaskets for the mirrors is a little loose. Older paint that looks fine from a distance but has come cracking and crazing behind the door and some heavy scratches behind the seats. The leather is heavily worn and soiled. The panel fit is fairly uneven. The underbody is relatively tidy. Inherently desirable as an alloy car and these colors look great on it, but it's in mostly driver condition.
Market commentary
This unrestored but not totally original alloy 120 sold for $207,200 at RM Sotheby's Monterey 2019 against a $275K low estimate. A middling price at the time, but a high bid of nearly $100K more three years later is more than appropriate and should have been taken.
