Equipment
Silver painted wire wheels, driving lights set into the grille, three carburetors, alloy body. FIA tagged. Good older paint and chrome. Fresh interior. Chassis undercoated and dusty from use. The original grille and seats are supplied with the car, which was modified by its most recent owner to run in the Mille Miglia where it ran four times and finished each event it started.
Market commentary
Offered here in 2001 in used and aged condition with cracking paint, worn interior and bodywork that looked like it was done in a trade school. It no saled at $220,000 then, a value that reflected both the market at the time and the cars condition. Both are, as this transaction indicates, much better now and the new owner got sound value for the money spent in a car thats ready to be driven off the auction block and into just about any event the buyer wants to enter.
