Equipment
Silver painted wire wheels. Shows 62,514 km both at the viewing and in the catalog so its reasonable to conclude the speedo is disconnected. Sound but ratty in effectively barn find condition. Appears all original except for a bad old repaint. Interior dry and cracked. 50s concours plaques on door jamb. Doors close well, panel gaps are even and uniform indicating the structure is sound. Catalog notes the front suspension needs work. In fact, everything needs work.
Market commentary
The next owner of 0219 EL will be faced with the difficult restore or original decision. In either case the consequences are expensive, and its value, even if the car is just made reliably driveable, wont be significantly more than the reported high bid here. If there was money on the car at this level the consignor may be sorry he didnt grab it.
