Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. 178hp, 4 speed, shows 98,514 miles. Very good older restoration showing some use but still nearly like new. A quality car, well presented.

Market commentary

This bid is nearly enough for the car, at the point where the bidder does a quick mental review of his portfolio and the sellers representative, Dave Hetzel, grinds the seller. B J put most of these deals together this weekend, but missed on this one.
