Equipment
SU carbs, Firestone tires, rear fender skirts, Lucas fog lights, Flying B mascot, pushbutton radio.
Condition
Very good paint and chrome. Excellent interior. Very good interior wood. Tidy, lightly used engine bay. A very strong, straight and early example. 1953 Geneva Salon show car. Then delivered new to its first owner in Switzerland, where it stayed until 1960. Then went to America, where it was restored and then retained for his personal collection by Anthony Korteweg, a Bentley and Rolls-Royce restorer out of New Jersey. An older restoration, it remains in splendid condition.
Market commentary
This is a magnificent, road-gobbling example of what the term Continental means and the long-term restoration professional ownership gives confidence in the quality and preservation of the restoration. It is a reasonable value at this price.
