Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Power top, 4 speed, converted to unleaded gas. 2,300 miles and a winner at RREC and BDC tiol concours since restoration two years ago. Immaculately restored and still in essentially concours ready condition. Must be the best in the world.

Market commentary

This is no bargain but the car has class, style and a killer presentation that will stop onlookers in their tracks. This may be the top price ever in US$ for an R type that isnt a Continental.
