Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

One of 16 built by Heuer (successor to the pre war Glaser concern) primarily for racing with alloy bodies and minimal accoutrements. Poor older repaint now cracking. Worn older interior. Needs comprehensive attention.

Market commentary

Its hard to figure the value of this rare offshoot from the 356 family tree, without much history or the aura created by famous racing accomplishments. It needs a committed Porsche phile with the combination of desire and wherewithall to match the consignors expectations.
