Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Chrome wire wheels, Michelin XWX red line tires, wind wings, fender mirrors, headlight stone guards, driving and fog light. Excellent paint, interior, chrome and glass. Sharp restoration to better than new condition let down by a little age and a bland and uncomplementary leather color choice.

Market commentary

It is very hard to recover the cost of a $30,000 restoration in the price of a car that can be sold only for about 3 4 of what was spent. This is a righthand drive TD and there are plenty of U.S. delivery lefthand drivers around. To maximize its value it needs to go back to the UK (or to South Africa or Australia or Japan, or even Bermuda) where the combition of steering wheel location and fastidious U.S. style restoration might be more lucratively received.
