Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome spoke outside laced wire wheels, 185R15 Michelin X tires. Displayed at the 1953 Geneva Motor Show and rallied in period int he Rallye Soleil Cannes. Later modified by Pinin Farina with the present one piece rear window. Sound older paint, chrome and interior (in a wonderful period color.) Chassis and underbody not done to the same standard and showing use and road dirt probably left over from its 2011 participation in the Colorado Grand.

Market commentary

Offered by Bonhams at Gstaad in 2003 at a high bid of $350,458, then by Gooding at Palm Beach in 2006 at a high bid of $560,000 and at Scottsdale in 2008 with an even higher reported bid of $650,000, the estimate is going up faster than the markets appetite for this car with its disappointing condition. It will be a wonderful driver and would be more attractive with the three piece wraparound window as it was displayed at Geneva. It is a great value at this price.
