Dual SU carbs, steel wheels, Firestone wide whitewalls, steel wheels, wood dash and door trim, dual wing mirrors, Lucas driving lights, rear fender skirts, locking filler cap and glovebox, custom luggage, tool kit, grease gun. JDHT certificate verified matching numbers engine.
Condition
Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Sold new in Southern California, then stayed with same owner for 50 years. Next owner in 2009 had a complete restoration completed just last year. Then shown at Dana Point Concours d'Elegance and at the 2013 Quail Motorsports Gathering. A gorgeous, fresh, showable example that is very clean from top to bottom.
Market commentary
Reported sold at Gooding's Scottsdale auction in January 2014 for $173,250 and no less lovely now than it was then. $20,000 seems to have evaporated into thin air for little or no reason. This transaction should be cited the next time someone point out, 'You make your money when you buy.'
