Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wheels, wide whitewalls, Becker Nurburg radio, fitted luggage. Chassis number mis match on frame (00055 52), ID plate (00044 52) and documents (00044 52). Restored to high standards in the U.S. twenty five years ago with a quality later repaint, interior, top and new interior wood. Very clean and sharp.

Market commentary

The bidders didnt seem to be discouraged by the mis matched numbers and paid full retail in pounds for this cars sharp presentation, a price that translates into a generous amount of US$ in todays exchange rate environment.
